Lunderdog

Broke 2 off? Yikes. Did the lure fail?

Thanks! That's another lure I have to try.... LOL Seriously, they look pretty good, and in all the right colors.

Just wondering if anyone else is having any success using either the Brads Superbaits or the Yakima Spin-N-Fish? I know they are a mostly west-coast area type of lure, but they do have a good meat rig style of spin and they can be filled with scent. I have never noticed anyone mentioning them in the reports, but maybe someone has had luck?

Post some good news, I'm coming up on Saturday....

Saw a nice king with a stick bait hanging from its mouth when I was out to Wilson. Looked fresh, so I tried to make a big circle back to it with lines in the water to at least retrieve the lure. To no avail, current had moved it and I couldn't find it again. It happens....... check those leaders, drag and knots...

The electric LED flare is SUPER bright. I tested it of course when I got it and I wasn't ready for how bright the light is. I was seeing spots for several minutes after I saw the flash. While it is on, it flashes the SOS distress code. It would definitely work at night....

So I made the switch, to USCG approved LED distress signal / flare replacement. Was wondering if anyone else made the switch and what you thought about the electronic device vs the standard pyro flare? If you haven't seen them yet, check out www.siriussignal.com . Aside from remembering to change out dated flares, I didn't like the idea of a hot fire on the boat when you are already in trouble.....

Launched out of Wilson around 7. Found a nice inside bite 150-250 FOW. Lots of bait and the steelies were aggressive. Also managed 2 kings. All on dipsies, out 130-150. Spoon bite, Purple and black early then the Fat Nancy produced for the rest of the day. Boxed out at 2pm. Great trip.

Went out of Oswego last week, found a few browns around the harbor, but we worked for them. We wanted to check out the Nine Mile power plant discharge area, but that is apparently shut down for repairs, so no warm water there.

Did this same job to an old Bluefin I used to own. (1996 I think, boat was a 1985) Remove the old plywood carefully, it will become your template to cut out the new pieces. My plywood was riveted to the stringers, I had to buy rivets from Fastenal, there was nothing at the local hardware store that was even close. I bought the vinyl floor covering and glue from Bass Pro, they had an exact match for my boat. Take your time and use stainless hardware to upgrade anything that wasn't originally stainless, mine came out great, better than new and it was a great experience. I had zero problems with it and sold it in 2015 to buy a bigger boat.

The Trench is between Stony Island and Stony Point near Henderson Harbor.

Anyone having any luck with the browns from Fair Haven to the trench? Thanks.

It's actually a municipal launch, with room for about 10 rigs, not too big.

Sounds good. FYI also forget about Sacketts Harbor, the launch is under construction, not sure when that will be ready. That was the launch I picked until we got there......

My son and I were just up to Dexter a week ago. We launched at the ramp next to the falls. Trim your motor up, there are some skinny spots with submerged rocks. Be SURE to stay between the bouys as you enter the bay. We saw some nice marks suspended but couldn't get anything to go so we messed around with the perch near the bay mouth.

Just wondering if anyone is having any luck?
