  1. Looking for a high quality pair of copper reels to run 300 and 200 copper off of.

    If your looking for a high quality reel for copper then check out the Okuma Clarion 453 and 553. Both are high speed (6to1). In order to have a proper amount of backer you will need 2 different sized reels.

    200 copper= Okuma Clarion 453

    300 copper= Okuma Clarion 553

    Blood Run Tackle offers some great prespooled setups also: http://bloodruntackle.com/shop/shop/copper-fishing-line-wire-trolling.html

  2. Fishing continues to be nothing short of ridiculous. 50 plus fish with a mixed catch of Browns, Cohos, and Lakers equaled a day full of Chinese fire drills. Yesterday we straight line trolled from Hamlin beach to Cowsucker Creek from west to east and then east to west. We found lots of good water in tight (8-12 fow). Most of it stained (and to my surprise, not muddy) and all around mid 40s in temp. The big difference this week is the bait has shown up. Everything we caught seemed to be spitting up bait. Gobies, Niagaras, and alewives all found the deck of the boat. Inside the creek is also seeing its fair share of bait. Challenger sticks in goby and chart took their fair share of fish but DW spoons were king yesterday. Dreamweaver super slims off the riggers (65' and 55' down 7') and slide divers ( back 90', out 101') provided the majority of the action for us. DW ss caramel dolphin was the best bait to hit the water yesterday but yellow goby, glow orange slurpee, orange gangster, steelie cane, mixed veggie, and glow frog all took shots.

  3. Ive been using dacron forever. Its does the job. pros= highly visible, Fairly inexpensive to purchase, tolerant to the sun. cons= absorbs water which leads to line sagging into the water, stretch, releases can have a tough time sliding down the line

    My plan is to switch my reels over to braid. The pros and cons are exactly the opposite of each other. cons= expensive, sun damage, not hi vis. pros= no stretch, releases slide with ease, does not absorb water.

  4. 5th place finish at the NYS Ice Fishing ProAm Sodus Bay event for myself and Capt Scott Bengsch (known this weekend as "Team Vanilla Ice"). On day one, our 12 fish box was missing our bonus pike but we sat in a decent position at 12th place overall. We decided on the morning of day 2, to roll the dice and it paid off for us. Our day 2 12 fish box was bigger then day 1 and we added to it with a bonus pike. Our day 2 box gave us a big jump in the overall standings as we walked away with the fifth place finish in the Pro division.
