    Still not 100% sure what you're saying. Something about segmenting a wire dipsey? Nobody does that just FYI. You would add segments of mono to be able to attach something like leadcore/copper to a planer board. You wouldn't do that on a wire dispey setup though...

    More than likely all lakers, I've fished the trench a few times and caught lakers on flasher/fly combos there. Odds are your speed wasn't right or they just weren't hungry. Sunday in Mexico we trolled threw prolly 50+ marks in the 50-60ft range with riggers at 50 & 60 and couldn't move a rod. Sometimes they just don't want what you're offering.

    I use fire-brine natural.... usually leave it in the brine for atleast 24hrs after I cut them. I add just enough brine to completely cover the strips. I've also brought home unused strips put them back in the freezer and used them again the next weekend with good results.

    ^^^ + location?

    200 fow is prolly somewhere 3-4 miles out. Been out that deep plenty times in my old 18ft boat, just have to pick the right day. No bait shops in Mexico but there are several in Pulaski which is a 10 drive (in a truck) from Mexico launch.

    yeah I bought just the fall "season" pass. The rule make sense for those buying day passes but it didn't specifically say the rule was just for the day pass. Figured it was safer to ask here then drive 30 mins out of my way to a weigh-station and find out there.

    Thank you!

    If I buy a "season" pass for the fall derby do I need to stop someplace and register each day before I fish?

    I was just going to say the samething. We use it occasionally on Oneida for walleyes, I have personally caught several fish doing it and it is a blast. It gets old very quick though if you aren't catching fish.

    As a younger engineer I def appreciate the sketching too. I missed out on the hand drafting era, everything I do and have ever done has been in CAD. Prolly a good thing for me because my lettering would be terrible compared to yours! Either way it’s cool to see it laid out like that!

    Haha wow... only in NY! "Hey here is this new law that you're required to follow! And if you don't... there's no penalty whatsoever! P.S. Thanks for your tax dollars we spent coming up with this brilliant new law"
  16. FishingFool34
    The original law that was in place before this one allowed you to be grandfathered in if you were born after a certain year. They basically re-vamped the law to include everyone now. By 2025 everyone who drives a boat will have had to take a boaters safety course.

    I checked my card for the jet ski course I took, it doesn't say anything about being specifically for jet skis. It is just called "NYS Boater's Safety Course", so I'm gonna assume that it is the same course.

    Bought this motor brand new last spring, hours are well under 50 if I had to guess. Its a 4 stroke, long shaft, manual start, manual tilt, no charging motor (can be added though). I have a uninstalled controlking remote throttle unit included as well as a 4 blade hi-thrust prop and original unused 3 blade prop. Factory 3.3 gal tank and hose included. I paid close to $2k delivered for this last spring asking $1300, located in Rome, NY.

    This motor was off a little pond boat we had up at camp. It got hot due to a plastic bag blocking the water intake on the lower unit, it was still running when I shut it down. But the sight glass where you check the oil level melted and it now leaks oil out of the sight glass port. It has a 20" shaft and internal 1.3 gal gas tank, may be fixable or parts. I just want it out of the garage $150 takes it, can get pics for anyone interested. Located in Rome, NY

    I don't know if this is new to everyone or not but I just heard about it on the radio and thought I would pass it along. I took whatever course was required to drive a jet ski years ago... I wonder if this is different or if what I have qualifies me? Either way they gave us plenty of time to take the class thankfully... https://961theeagle.com/new-requirements-for-cny-boaters/

    You can prolly figure out where the temp is for them by the other boats out there. We had a tough time finding salmon Sat so we moved in shallow looking for browns. Saw a couple boats in 80fow and figured that was where the temp was for them. Dropped my probe in 75fow and sure enough 60* right on bottom. Anyone inside of 100fow right now is most likely looking for browns.

    I’ll take it, PM me

    You don't have to use wire, you can get away with a braid setup for dipsey divers. Wire is nice because it is easier to get fleas off of and it will get you setup deeper than braid with less line out (smaller diameter wire cuts through the water better). Tekotas are great reels just make sure you get the line counter version.

    They have had constant problems with that machine in Mexico. I couldn't get it to read my empire pass Sat morning for whatever reasons. Usually I just put the card it self on my dash. Been there atleast twice this year before Sat where it didn't work and never gotten a warning or ticket doing it this way. When I use the pass for day entry at a manned state park they just ask for the number on the card and then tell me I'm good. So I make sure the numbers are visible when I put it on my dash at Mexico.
