Shallow!

Fire tiger and frog bay rats did the most damage.

I fished Sunday and went 10/12 out of I-bay fishing to the east. 9 browns and one Atlantic.

My thoughts and prayers are extended to him for a speedy recovery! Determination, motivation, and family support are the key! See you both at Sampson loop 5 in about 53 days! Dan

Kicking around the idea of selling my camper. Purchased 7/2010, barely used, indoor stored during off seasons. Has been indoor stored the full year from 2013-spring 2016 due to no time to use it. Looks new, spacious, one slide out, bunkhouse in rear, shower, frig, ac, heat, water heater, electric awning, tv, dvd, exterior speakers, outside, shower. $13,000 obo. no trades.

looking for boat and camper storage with in 1 hr of rochester. I used to keep at Lake Ontario Storage. Thanks for the help. Dan

A bit of a late start this am.. set gear around 6:45 in 120 fow straight out of shoot and trolled no further west than the nose. spent most of trip in 180-220 with a few pokes shallower. big weenie meat on 265-320 dipsey was stellar and this was my first success running meat so that was awesome. decent rigger action from 66'- 120' down . Rigger bite was great from 11-200 ish. wonderbread, nbk, glow corn, melon all took fish. went roughly 18/25. lost more fish after the NE wind picked up. the bigger kings came in 50-52 degree water rather than colder. kept a total of 4 fish and all were empty. biggest king 19 ish and steelie 9.5 ish. A great day to be out for sure! Good luck to everyone this weekend! BTW ... I discovered an easy way to remove copious amounts of fleas from your line.... hold section of line tight with both hands such that the wad of fleas is between your hands.. next run the line over the corner of the lid of your cooler while you also rub line from side to side...mine has a textured top (coleman extreme) it removes every flea and takes substantially less time than pinching or chewing off!

My report is pretty consistent with those I have heard or read. I had fished 5/22 and struggled also so I was really anxious about what the derby was gonna be like. From Thursday to Monday I boated roughly 22 fish in approximately 50 hours of fishing and very few lakers. I ran mostly spoons off riggers, cores, coppers, ran ff combos some. ff bite was nill for me. threw out some hammerhead cowbells a combo that I used to use with great success and nada. Roughly 20 some years ago I fished my first derby and it was using cowbells and peanuts with a 16 oz drop weight I mentioned that fact on sunday to my crew while washing lures. I was not prepared to run that set up and then of course I read "fisherdudes" post... well done by the way! Anyway it was a grind, but that is par for the course when it comes to fishing 4-5 days straight. The high point was hooking a dandy brown trout 9.34# on BFF to take the prize. I was shocked, absolutely shocked that I won. I Could not believe the lack of fish at weigh in. A big thanks to Nick and Mike for coordinating BFF its a great way to meet fellow fisherman and put a face with the name or handle so to speak. no particular lure was a stud but the brown hit a FLT alewife spoon, but sadly that spoon only took one other fish the rest of the weekend. See ya next year! Time to get back to Lake O. But I will be fishing sunday of Canandaigua derby. Tightlines to all!

pic and condition of boards? I am interested!!

anyone else hearing crickets? lol

pm me with a phone number and i will text u some pix. i have 2 full booms minus end pulley. they do have the fixed pulley near where the base would be. booms roughly 42"

i might have some I will look and get back to u. I believe i have 2 full 36 or 48 booms! no pulleys tho Dan

u can buy pipe the same size as that used for pedestal and likely save money. i use a section of that same pipe in my front pedestal mount to hold my net. here is what i use to hold my planer mast. insert mast and you r set no straps needed. i used nylon self locking nuts to prevent them backing out.

I tried those mini clamp on riggers on the transom of my lund years ago and as others have said they are hard to crank with a rigger weight larger than 6-8 pounds esp if fishing deep for lakerd. 20 years ago my brother in law had a 16' row boat with a 9.9 hp and he made a mount for the transom that accepted cannon riggers. one mount per side in the corners. worked great and we used 12# weights. it sure kept the guy in the back busy tho! lots of used manual riggers on this site too. good luck

1993 Penn Yan Intruder 255 Just before heading to storage... lotta work cleaning and waxing! Come on spring! or a decent day with light wind!

thats what i was thinking ifishy.... 30# mono lays tighter than 45# copper. more voids in the overlay. etc. maybe there is an equation for that too! lol

I have an old vertical propane smoker and looking to go electric also. price points are good on the 30" electrics. heck yeah on the smoked wings! rub , smoke, sauce and grill 2-2.5 hours
