      Is there a new hole/opening in the fence ?  It was all repaired last fall & we couldn't get in.

     Jimski & Locoman, you are right about the black hole & NYC shyt hole.    I agree & have said for years that those state parks should have launch ramps!  Everything is there except for the ramps, they have roads, parking , lighting, restrooms.  State should build ramps & breakwaters, with all the monies they take in from hunting & fishing.   I believe lake Ontario has 30 + launch sites in NY & lake Erie has 7-8 in NY state form Buffalo to Barcelona. Me being retired I try not to fish on weekends now but did for years I know how the crowds can be & what a pita the jet skis are,   we need more access for the best walleye lake in the country!  How would we go about it ? I know S.Town walleye did try for yrs. back in the late "80's" but they were looking mostly at private land for club members use only  if I remember right.

    yeah i didn't like twisting my line at first but after some time i got over it. i had been using rubber bands for some yrs when i ran across a thread about these. i had always thought they needed something like them for fishing eyes and here it was. i just had to check them out. now i would be lost without them.

     

    another story here. i started fishing erie's central basin with dipsies some yrs back. loved the way they worked and could run 3 per side. but ended up dragging a lot of smaller fish. switched to the deeper diver because they had no rings. i had tried rigging up some way for them to release on smaller fish with no good results. even thought about the release on the chamberlain. then i started reading about the lite bite slide diver. got some but didn't like the slide part with braided line. but i loved the lite bite feature. so i decided to use them like a dipsy. i tie to the front then tie a short piece of 65# braid to a 0-ring lace the line through the back going through the lite bite arm. then tie on my snubber and then tie on my 7' or 8' fluro leader then my harness. i do use good swivels at all connections. now i drag very few small fish around on my divers or my riggers. they will both trip on most small fish. i thought if it works on the chamberlain why not on divers. i love them both. i run 6 divers and 2 riggers on my boat and it would take a much better mouse trap to get me to switch from the lite bites or the chamberlain.

    sorry for the long post. just wanted you to know about the lite bite divers for future knowledge.

      Do you have a pic of your lite bite diver set up?  Would like to see it.  Thanks!
