Nice! Thanks for the report. Heading up in about 2 weeks

SHERMAN BROWN you I also would love to fish with I also just stated fishing Erie for walleye as it is one favorite fish to eat should get together sometime

Yes sir, last time this will ever happen to me. What an absolute scumbag to screw someone over this bad. I would have at least given the money back for the repair. What a lying piece of ****! Would love to post a big thing about him but it would get removed. The guy runs a charter out of Ontario NY. Would love to help him lose business!

Lake conditions pretty snotty intended to fish 500’ but shut down in about 150-200’ found fish and bait wound up 3-6 fished 90’-105’ down caught on flasher fly and mag spoons Lake conditions called for 1’ or less again not even close over the years I have found that you never know what your going to find until you clear the break walls

throw a slider into the water before attaching to the main line.

I'm not in this dogfight, but it sounds like you two guys would love fishing together and swapping great big lies, LOL. Trouthunter, it's wonderful that you're offering to go fishing with him and use your boat and equipment, and I'm sending you a big o'l KUDOS! I started fishing Lake Michigan for salmon back in 77, and then started fishing it and Erie for walleye in 80, but stopped salmon fishing Lake Michigan a couple of years later. I still love fishing Erie, but I only get to go once a year if my oldest son wants to go. I have fishing in my blood, and my wife keeps telling me when I die, I'm coming back as a fish, LOL. I wish you guys many fun filled trips on the water!

I like those rules all good things to go by.

Using wet wipes over regular TP

How'd it go on Friday? Any luck and where? Thanks

Personally I despise I/Os . In your case ,they take up most of the prime real estate on the stern deck . They do not idle down for trolling ,hence the kicker and they constantly need maintenance. Stern heavy , which cause the boat to wander at slow speeds . The hull you're looking at is not exactly fishermen friendly, no toe kicks , poor quality, low resale value and a bad reputation. I'd rather own a 1980's 27' Tiara for about the same money and the value of that boat will not depreciate like the Bayliner/ Trophy.

Sorry bout the late report but here goes. left the dock at 6am. Ran to 125 fow off the pump house. temp was down 65-70. only ran 4 riggers/rods. I wont bore you with the circus that ensued but we were 6 for 8 by 7am. all told, went 13 for 18 by thee time we packed it in at 10:30 best was 145-150 fow 60-70 dn. couple uv's, glow frog, purple muffin took all the shots. mostly teenagers couple skippy bows.

When I take friends that are new to Lake Ontario, especially with kids and wives, I only run coppers as a last resort. Having them work rigger and diver rods is a much more enjoyable experience for them.

(Observe all safe boating rules) In addition, while out on the water, some things I would never do: - Be out there without a means of verbal communication. (cell, VHF, etc.) - Fish barefooted. - Ignore the clouds or fish in a thunderstorm. - Put the boat in reverse with downriggers/dipseys/planners deployed. - Leave unsecured lures around (i.e. on seats, floor or dash) - Travel with rigger weights unsecured (not hanging on riggers) - Deploy gear without helm secured. - Drop rigger weights into water when deploying them. - Allow rigger weights to swing in the air. (Especially while fighting a fish or reeling in line) - Deploy the port side rigger/dipsey while turning to port. (or vice versa) - Turn boat in the direction a fish is swimming while fighting it. - Point the rod at the fish. (always keep a bend in the rod) What has your experience taught you to never do?
