We tried fishing the mouth of the black river tonight... lots of fish! But couldn't get one to take a bait. Saw a couple get landed on stickbaits but we must have used all our luck this am in the trench.

3/4 this am 2 matures and a laker... bite died after 930am. Wonderbread spinny took both kings and laker on green/white e-chip. Kings down 110 over 130 and laker down 130 over 140.

We didn't get out there until after 1pm fished til 7. Decent amount of marks most tight to bottom, the king on a dipsy was a big surprise.

3/3 today 2 mature kings and a coho... king and coho on riggers down 115 over 130 both on wonder bread spin doctor. 2nd mature king on a dipsy set 95 over 140, big silver/green paddle with a meat rig (artificial). Headed back out in the am, here til Sunday.

Wow, headed up tomorrow myself for the weekend... not exactly what I was hoping to hear. Anyone tried fishing in the BRB or black river itself?

Only thing I can think of is he's telling us what he had his riggers set at? But lots of variables to that to figure a depth...

Another vote here for Humminbird and Helix units.... you can pick up a helix 9 new in the $600 range.

Helix units from Humminbird are imo the best you can get for the price... Couple things you want to ask yourself before you buy one though... do you have a trolling motor? if so what brand? Do you want side/down imaging or is screen size more important? Need GPS? Will you ever want to run multiple units? Any sonar unit will only give surface temp. For down temp/speed/depth you will need a fishawk unit with a probe. Goodluck!

Was there Saturday... 90-110 fow was best for us... all FF bite.

I have an old Beckman walleye net with a 4ft handle and you can't connect another handle to it. They offer 4ft, 6ft, 4-7ft, 6-9ft handles for their new nets according to the new catalog. I emailed them last week asking about purchasing one as I read on another forum about ppl buying them via email. Haven't heard anything back yet...

Asked the size of the net and was told "This is too much of a hassle" and then he stopped responding to me.... Needless to say I'm still looking for a net.

Yup 18 footer here too... I was hoping to get 2 days up there this weekend with the holiday but looks like only tomorrow is going to be any good weather wise.

Looks like tomorrow should be a good day? Or am I missing something? I see 6mph winds in Mexico and a wave forecast of 2' or less. Just double checking before I make the 3hr round trip...

How long is the handle?

Funny you mention that... I did some research last night and looks like Pline acquired and brought back the Beckman brand. I actually emailed them last night hoping they can tell me where I can purchase one. Seems like they are doing a pretty poor marketing job with Beckman as most ppl (myself included) thought they were still out of business and have no clue where to go buy one.

That's the exact net that broke on me this weekend lol... I guess I shouldn't say broke, it did get the fish into the boat but cracked that black plastic yoke. Gonna pass on that one, thanks though

Landing Net Had a little mishap this weekend and needless to say I need a new net... only requirement is your relatively close so pickup can arranged. I don't know for sure but feel shipping would prolly be expensive for something this size. Utica/Rome/Syracuse Area
