I believe the Bow I am holding in this profile pic was caught using a fly almost identical to to that "Tandem Mickey Finn" above.

Owasco lake, this past Fall

I Agree with the above (58Johnson), I use similar fly setups both trolling and just beneath the surface in the spring and late fall.

I recently bought two 300' reels of the AO Spectra 500lb line. I have not put it on the reels yet

but I am looking forward to seeing how it performs and whether or not my clips slide easier.

I am going to try using 1.5 inch aluminum carabiners on my releases this season, Thinking they will slide easy plus clip on and of quick as well. Has anyone tried them before?

I wonder if this might do it....    Spearit 1/8in OD 1/16in ID Micro Latex Rubber Tubing ONE Continuous Piece(Select Color and Length): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific   Different lengths and comes in black or natural latex $5-$10 for up to 10' of it.

PM sent about the #2's

Good luck to ya...hope it finds its way back to you

#2 does look like a male LL to me

Yessir Thanks! Thats a beauty of a vessel you got there captain! I see you are listing as Sterling and Oswego. I built a home just outside of Fair Haven and lived there 25 years. The drive to East Syracuse and back got to me and sold to move closer to my work. That two sometimes three hour trip through Lake effect and then having to plow my 600' driveway after a 10 hour workday just wore me down... Proud to share the name with you, be well.

Check out the spoon crank boxes Doug sells (username dhm), there's a classifieds listing not too many posts ago. Basically the same storage idea, more flexibility and a local business. Pretty positive feedback from what I've seen too!

They look like solid boxes but I dont think its much deeper than 6"...7" at the most. I would like to know myself.

Dude you gotta change your boat name Just Kidding.

 

My Buddies boat was named Bad Influence... we had a ton of great times on that rig with too many stories to remember. I purchased a new boat last year and the week I had it delivered he passed from a stroke. Had to name her "Bad Influence II" in his memory. That dude would fish in February whiteouts...I have never seen a boat named Bad Influence, let alone Bad Influence II !!! Thats crazy...

I am switching one setup to 80# braid this season only because several comments have posted that it picks up way fewer fleas... gonna run it and find out. I hate stripping fleas, dont we all.

I was wondering about the swimmer thing myself...why wouldnt they?

Update: I guess they have been known to grab onto the occasional swimmer but are easily yanked 

off. They do most of their "damage" when attached for long periods. I am guessing having 3 or 4 

trying to latch onto you while swimming would be pretty damn unpleasant though!

Note to self...No swimming in Seneca lake this coming season.

That is one hell of a price...wish I had not have bought two new units! I would not sell my two old Mag10s and swivel bases for that!

Beautiful! East end?

Sent you a PM

I will take the lot

I will take these if you can ship them on my dime to Syracuse...Do you have Venmo?

chinook35...I keep my IPilot remote clipped to me as well. If it ever happens that I am in the water alone at least I can steer the boat back around to my position in hopes of grabbing the swim ladder.

I bought (4) Onyx CO2 vests...love them! I am a big guy and I do not think they are uncomfortable at all. Worth the price especially in the cold choppy waters of November/December

I PM'd and have not heard back from you...is this still for sale?

Where are you located? I am in the Syracuse area and interested.
