    Very large Cummings Salmon Net. Net itself measures approximately 40 inches wide and 30 inches long. From end of handle to net is about 9 feet total. It does slide in on itself to be smaller. Only reason for selling is too large for my boat. $30 or trade for salmon gear. Brockport NY 14420

    Large Cummings landing net for salmon or musky. Net itself measures approximately 40 inches wide and 30 inches long. From end of handle to net is about 9 feet total. It does slide in on itself to be smaller. Great net, only reason for selling is too large for my boat. $30 or trade for salmon gear, I am not picky so make me an offer for lures, flashers, anything. Located in Brockport, NY area

    Oof... I had not checked in a couple of days I guess. That will have me rethinking the plans I believe. Maybe tomorrow will cooperate

    Thanks for the report, I am going to try to get out of Braddocks this afternoon (depending on waves/wind) or tomorrow. Maybe both

    My lithium probe lasted 2 months and less than 15 trips total. Disappointing for the cost. I sent it back and assume that it will be warrantied, but one would expect it to last more than 100 hours of run time given how expensive they are

    Nick, that is an incredibly kind offer of you. Luckily, I was able to purchase a replacement probe off of one of the members here, so I won't need it. I greatly appreciate the offer and good luck with the rest of your season!!

    Went out for a short morning solo run from Braddock Bay. On the water by 6. Set up in about 120 fow. My 2 month old Fish Hawk Lithium probe decided to die on me, so I set up down 60. No clue if temp was right but some okay marks there. I picked up one decent salmon around 130 fow, didn’t weight him but maybe around the 13-14 pound mark. Lost another at the boat about the same size. Ended up getting call for work around 7:30 so had lines in for maybe an hour is all. By the way, if you know of anyone that is interested in selling an extra probe while I wait on the fish hawk warranty claim near the Rochester area, I would be very interested.

    Long shot I know, but I was hoping to pick up a used fish hawk probe. My new (2 month old lithium) decided to just not come on this morning when it went in the water. I have talked to FishHawk and will send it in for warranty, but I don't have a spare probe. Would be really great to buy a used one that I could use until I get mine back from warranty for what's left of the season. Would prefer the Rochester area, but willing to drive a bit. Does not need to be a Lithium one. Thank you!

    Went out on a solo run this morning before work. On water at 6:30, off by 8:30. Set up in 100, worked my way out to 190. 2 downrigger down 50 and 70, and a dipsy out 100. Landed 1 out of 2 bites on the dipsy, and boated this nice 19.5 pound king. Also had a small jack that hit the spoon. Spoon seemed to be the only thing they were interested in as it took all the hits this morning. Pictured is the spoon that had the larger king, not sure the name.

    Hey thanks! I have read Captain Rob’s write up before. Probably the single best I have seen on copper setups. Also been out fishing with him before, hell of a captain. I was really wanting to know if there was any quick and dirty way to estimate how much copper was on this specific reel. Sounds like I’ll just be making a trip to the football field LOL.

    Probably a dumb question, but I haven’t seen this asked before and maybe someone here is smarter than me. My neighbor (awesome dude) is moving to South Carolina to be with grandkids and clearing out a bunch of salmon fishing tackle. With some other stuff I bought, he threw in this copper reel. Said he couldn’t remember where it came from even. Anyways, I’m somewhat baffled at figuring out how much line is on it. Is there a preferred way? Thought about just taking my wife to an empty football stadium by my house to walk it out and measure….any insights?

    Yes forgot to mention! Definitely a great day on the water

    Headed out this morning on a solo run. Was running downrigger, copper, and a dipsy. 4 for 4 on salmon plus a juvenile. Biggest was 16 pounds. Smaller of matures than as 12. Dowrnigger 80 down over 155 on an 11 inch flasher fly, 400 copper with a meat rig and a dipsy out 160 with a wonderbread spoon were winning tickets today. All in between 150-170 feet, ventured as close in as 100 and as far out at 210.

    Thanks Gator. Makes sense, I did cast a couple while fishing at a pond just to get an idea of the action. Agree they would likely be a more aggressive presentation. I will toss out a couple in the spread once I get going and update either way.

    Curious if anyone has tried running the Iron Decoy Lures for trolling? Saw these at the Niagara Fishing Show and was just intrigued enough to pick up a few. They look quite a bit different than normal trolling spoons almost more like a casting or jigging spoon. Definitely much heavier than would be typical (1 oz). Owner was a real nice guy, said they work good for either. Due to a combination of life events, I haven't had a chance to test them out. Curious if anyone has ran these? I will plan to throw them out on a couple of junk lines. I imagine it may fall into the category of uncommon/niche tackle but hey never know and I am always a sucker for something new. Seems like the salmon line is fairly new from my brief talk with the owner and may be the first season they have been around.
