[wishin fishin]

whats the best size i'm using a #0 to get down into 60 fow - should i go up to a 1/0?

[copo427ss]

I vote for size 1/0

You mean the 001. That dipsy has depth capability of 50ft with the o ring attached. I would run both the 000 and the 001 and see where the fish are at. 000 dives to 35ft with o ring attached.

No the playoffs won't be in Eden. As a matter of fact Eden stopped having men's fast pitch softball games at the corn festival a few years ago. Insurance issues.

I do alot of stream fishing for trout and steelies, I bass fish both from shore and boat, perch, cast/troll for northerns. Gonna try my hand at jigging the river for muskies. Also when the salmon come back shallow this fall take the boat up to Ontario and troll. I fish and hunt as much as I can. But lately work and more work have been getting in the way.

This wind really blows. Wasn't bad earlier. Headed down to sp and and just got worse and worse. Pulled up to the launch and the guy just looks at me and says are you crazy? Everybody came in. So at least the boats fueled for the weekend if it's nice. It just keeps blowing harder and harder.

fished salmon and trout in Lake Ontario for 40+ years as an amateur, and some professionally. Now walleye and perch fishing Erie for a change, for fun and to fill the freezer (not a fan of eating LO salmon or trout).

Hunt geese, deer and turkeys with a bow, rifle and black powder when I am not on a boat.

shoot indoor target archery in winter while waiting for the outdoor seasons to begin again.

so many options, too little time

I used to do a lot of fishing before I got married and up until kids were born, and lots of hunting, more hunting than fishing. Grew up in wny and never fished erie once until a few years ago when I realized that I really ought to try fishing in this lake I keep reading about! I used to carry around a collapsable pole in my car and fish whenever I could. I remember catching these brown trout in a stream near washington dc that you wouldn't expect to hold fish. I fished far carp at ub when I took classes there, right on the spaulding dorm area lakes, they were fun, caught them on nightcrawlers. One of my favorite places that I caught fish was up in homer, alaska, and my wife and I went halibut fishing on a charter boat that was lots of fun, but a lot of work. 2 lb weight, big hook and 200 feet down on the bottom just like perch fishing. The biggest halibut we caught that day was over 100 lbs. Once they get over 60 lbs they actually shoot them before bringing them in the boat so the flipping wouldn't hurt anything. Nobody knew this and somebody brought in the first decent fish like that, and the first mate pulls out this rusty old .410 shotgun, I think we all thought at the same time he was going to shoot us and dump the bodies LOL. It was hard work though to reel up that 200 feet just to check your bait, arms get tired from all the reeling. It felt like you were bringing up a concrete block when a decent fish was on.

Also we went to yellowstone park, hiked a 5 mile one way trail in a bear infested area (warning signs at trailhead), but ended up catching artic greyling, that was neat. Not real big but plenty of them, on spinners.

That collapsible pole came in pretty handy sometimes when on a golf course, throw a cast or 2 if you could sneak one in, sometimes those bass got big.
