  1. Hossenlop; think that's my last time in canoe, its so tipsy. I have small boat with 2 bass seats, much more stable...lol. thanks !
  2. Brand new still packaged Yukon 25's. Adjustable binders, up to size 11. Rated for 200 lbs. Comes with poles and carry bag. Above average snow forecast this year. I just don't have time for them. $50 or barter for slide divers, Chinook divers. Send me a PM and I will send a phone#.
  3. Just watched a Roland Martin episode on stripers. They found schools and hand casted top water walkers with good success. They also trolled and handcasted large swimbaits as well as umbrella rigs with two chasers (trailing swimbaits). Caught more than they could handle, sometimes 6 on at once. Try searching utube including body of water & striper.
  4. Around 28" but was a solid fish guessing 7 lbs.
  5. Might be my last one this year, unless I get out trout fishing. This one was pretty healthy. Putting that winter weight on. Around 6-7 lbs.
  6. I saw on inffisherman or angling edge ? smallies that were caught deep, they used hypodermic needle to relieve bladder. Not that I would do it, unless I was taught. Then they released them immediately. Was interesting.
  7. I thought this thread waswas about trout techniques on HEMLOCK.
  8. Available daily sunlight, water temps below 50, and bait fish are determining factors for transitioning bass. Winter is right around the corner. Your best chances are what others have stated, IMO start in 15 fow on structure/ledge/ point/ dropoff etc. Cast shallow and if no good go deep. Or just go deep. They are transitioning to winter homes. We saw fish finder filled with fish in 25 fow on sodus Sunday. I would target smallies. They tend to be more active than largeies in cooler water.
  9. OK. Yeah, buying failing equip. isn't good thanks guys
  10. Pap, sent u pm. Thanks to all for your input. Its nice to know that "rookie trout angler" can advance his love of angling with your help. Awesome !
  11. Lily and pieman, thank you for sharing advice & experience.
  12. The rings control depth correct ? I really would like the directional divers. Get them out off the boat wakes and make room for other rod maybe. I have a small boat, troll motor only. I really appreciate your input on color though and makers tho.
  13. Is that the clamp style that slides down the line when fish triggers release ?
  14. If you using walleye boards like tx 44 I have seen 7' to 7'6 med heavy to heavy rods, braided or mono main line with fluoro leader. Trolling for walleye from what I understand is slower than salmonid. Don't think you have to go big or get too crazy unless you want too.
  15. I have a small boat with small setup. I'm interested I directional divers and divers that will reach 50-75fow minus the big pull. I do not own dipsy rods but do own 7' medium heavy rods. Mainly troll finger lakes or trib. Primarily walleye & trout. I have never owned dipsys and need to know some things. What is the significance in dipsy color ? What brand would you recommend ? Any insight is helpful. I'm trying to learn. Thanks
  16. I fish for bass walleye pike, but this year I tried for Kings on a trib for first time and was pretty cool. I looked at a couple vids for whi and am super impressed. Good luck to all of you ! Well wishes.
  17. I like dog decoys. Maybe warm up some homemade chili over the fire and bring the kids out for some rec time. Hell, get the wolf cry from nature store out..lol
  18. I fished the Creek in rush since I was a kid. Your best shot is above the falls this time of year but you won't get back too far on foot. At the falls fish have moved out befor summer. But your odds of getting anything there are pretty slim unless you have a kayak. Even then,it's slim chance. Where ever you go make sure there is some deeper water around, like a point. This time of year they are following baitfish which means deeper water. They are transitioning to winter homes. Hrs of available sunlight and water temps are the biggest factors especially on creeks. Lakes are different story. Good luck
  19. It has a single hook so it's good for salmonids as long as hook gap meets trib regulation. Or throw a treble on it and this time of year use a snap & drop retrieve for bass, Pike.
  20. Yukon snowshoes. 25", rated 200lbs, adjustable bindings, BRAND NEW, NEVER USED. Comes with poles and carry bag. $50. Message me and I will send my phone # or leave your #. Dave
  21. That's awesome guys ! I didn't hear any drag peeling, not even a little. Maybe a minor adjustment may land a higher %. Just my thought. Don't be mad. Great video tho !
  22. Talked w/guy @ launch in summer after a days fishing. He caught 3 bows drifting with worms and jigging in 35 fow. They should be up higher even now. I hooked a steely @ Niagara in 12 ft last wk. My suggestion would be find the baitfish. If the wind is blowing from West fish the East side. Wind will push bait.
