Remember in the late 80s early 90s fall ESLO derby About 10AM when it slowed down alittle someone would say happy birthday George then everyone would start. every fall ESLO this happened. Still don't know who he is.LMAO
When it was the ESLO the prize money was more new boats new trucks those were the days. From pulaski to oswego there was 20 sports stores all open early and closed late. You had to book your room that year for next year. You couldn't get in the Goldenfish restaurant if you fished late and it was open till 10pm.the fall ESLO looked like a floating city in the early morning from Mexico to Sand pond to Oswego.
If you have a problem finding them take a look at the fishusa flagship rods. I purchased 2 in 9ft downrigger. They work very well 2yrs and not one issue.
we fished out of fair haven this weekend I did notice running 2.0 to 2.2 meat and fly worked ok but spoons never fired when speed was 2.5 to 2.8 spoons were on fire and paddle shut down I think its hard to pull both and be productive.
