Some good walleye catches being reported by friends at night West of Dunkirk. Haven’t been able to try the night game so for shats and giggles today I tried some contour line trolling off shoreline points. Hmmmm I may have figured something out. Gizzard Shad and smelt were around. Caught a huge brown that I attempted to land by hand because my brother forgot his net and failed miserably. I had the fat porker out of the water wriggling in my hands twice only to have him flop onto the 12 lb leader snapping it. I got to watch the beast swim off with my scatter rap strapped to its face. Of note is my dive into baits which generate electronic impulses. After seeing plenty of underwater YouTube footage of walleyes swimming past trolled lures only to hit a Water Wolf camera -plus last year my friend posted a picture of a walleye that he caught on a Smart Troll probe that had jammed sideways into the walleye’s mouth and locked behind its teeth, I had an epiphany that walleye are sensing electronic = alive. Enter Livingston lures and their walleye lineup of stickbaits you can get at FishUSA. I put one down behind a rigger and it fired in short order. Bandits took the most. A couple of bonus bass and mega perch caught with fish fry lunch that followed.

Left mouth of Sandy 6:45am to noon heavy fog all day set up on a north troll in 180fow and turned around in 400fow. Blank screen and not looking to good we scratched out 10 for 12 keeping 6 for thr dinner table. Most productive water was 250fow to 360fow. Spoons on riggers 45 and 55 down. Caddy Shack in the Stingray size worked the best.

Journeyed out in the fog this am for a short trip with my brother his girlfriend and her son. The little guy was super excited to be in the boat and sat next to the downrigger pole most of the trip. With his hands on the pole. We only had a couple hours so I could feel the pressure. I’ve never prayed for a laker, but I was this morning. Sure enough a dipsy finally popped off and the laker battle began. I should mention that the biggest fish this boy has ever caught was a “sunny” so when he saw the fish 10 feet from the transom he was losing his mind. We landed it, thank god and he was as pumped as a little person could possibly be. It was a nice laker, and the entire experience made me remember the times when my dad brought my brothers and I trolling and what that meant to us. I forgot how satisfying it is to put kids on the boat in Lake Ontario when trolling for these fish. I know it made his day, but he made my more than he knows.

6 Lakers 1 rainbow And a lamprey fishing Cayuga. Bite was hot from sun rise to 7:30. I'm assuming the eel got snagged when a fish swiped the lure. No way it hit the spoon right? Didn't have time to take a pic. Just returned it to the lake in 5 pieces

With a track system on modern boats, is using an individual downrigger mount like crestliner sure mount stronger then using the a track mounted on a few mounts with the downrigger and other items. Was curious if using a track strengths the connections.

Yes, they have the single pin with the thumb screw. The one in the photo has a 3’ boom and I believe 2 of the others are the same. The 4th has the adjustable boom. I only have the one in the photo here as I just took if off my boat this spring to mount another Scotty (the others are at my son’s place and I’ll ask him to send my a photo or two today). I’ve only been using one of them the past couple seasons and it’s been working fine. Not sure how well the others work but I’ll check them over this week. -
