    The East End State of the Lake Meeting will be on July 17th, at 7PM, at the Mexico VFW. Chris LeGard, Steve Hurst, et al... will be there to give information about the latest data and projects as well as to answer questions form the public. It is being hosted by ELOSTA and all fishermen are welcome and encouraged to attend. This has been a worthwhile evening in the past and has taken the place of the large meeting format that used to occur at Pulaski High School.

    I only run mooselooks and the smallest Michigan Stinger Scorpion spoons on this particular lake. I like to be able to feel every bit of the fight and headshakes while I’m playing out the fish. Let me know when you find a dowrigger rod that you’re happy with, it would save me some trial and error as well.

    I fished out of Sandy and Braddock last week, agreed Braddocks is very shallow. Braddocks was slow (it was super rough and the afternoon when I went out) got one nice brown in the 1.5 hours on a spoon in 100 ft of water. Sandy we got out early, fished for 3 hours before getting blown off. All the fish were caught between 190 and 220 feet right in front of the channel, 3 Kings, one Laker and a steelhead and 2 misses. All on spoons, all in the top 70 ft, meat rigs didn't move at all.

    I want to be careful with what I write. Here I troll up to seven colors of 18 pound lead core with nothing but a mooselook, DB, top gun, or similar lure. No cowbells, flashers, or dodgers. It is my humble opinion that the rod will be fine with that. I can't speak to having a lot more stuff out there.

    Good to know, thanks. I recently bought a Daiwa wilderness ML for a leadcore rod. It will work well for that but with just running mono for smaller trout it is overkill. I was catching 5# laker trout on my Starfires last weekend and each time thought I hooked a double digit walleye.

    Purely anecdotal but I think the 15-17 lbers are stocked three year olds and the large group of 10-14lbers are the result of a good hatch of naturals that occurred somewhere.

    Just a quick update if anyone cares. Put my money where my mouth is and bought the 9 foot ML Flagship rod. While a very nice rod, it is far too heavy for what I do here in Maine. It will be ok with lead core but not on the rigger. I have no criticism of the quality of the rod, just not what i want for riggers. I plan to pull the trigger on another Ugly Stick to see if they are as different as I have been told. I hate buying rods unseen. Thanks to all for the responses.

  13. GAMBLER
    Thanks but I want line counters.
  14. BRsnow
    I have a couple new in box but do not have line counters, just standard.

    Unfortunately the Honda kicker I got came with controls and has no external shifter. I did but a throttle master for it though to control my speed to 0.1 mph increments
  16. m089221
    I've done a little research and Honda cables and Mercs aren't interchangable. Thanks anyway

    Got any pics of the reel?

    Was able to get out and fish 5 days during the LOC out of Rochester. The goal was to catch a big brown but the inside water cleared up and made it very difficult to target them. I tried multiple techniques and locations and only boated 1. So take what the lake gives you, the salmon fishing out of Rochester was good to decent most days but we were not getting the size needed to place in the LOC. We changed gears and targeted lake trout during the late mornings. On Sunday I brought my kids and we fishing Lakers from 7:30-12:00 and boated 41 trying for that LOC fish kids division. We came up short by a pound with the biggest around 17LBs and a handful around 16lbs. Hammerhead cowbells, NK cowbells with gambler rigs behind them on the riggers. The Lakers were anywhere from 180'-100' close to the bottom. Colors did not matter these fish were hungry. I did notice when I was bringing the downrigger balls up the lakers would chase it. So when I would see fish on the graph I would bring the down rigger up 10 feet and 9 out of ten times it would trigger a strike. The kids had a blast, I was tired but it was fun to constantly have fish on. All but 2 were released and burped! Boated over 90 lakers all week just could not get a big one. Eric

    another route to go is if your kicker has an external gear shift lever on the motor,you can buy a control king throttle control to control your motor speed.these units are great,start your motor,put it in gear and then just turn a dial to control your speed at the helm.super easy to dial in your speed just right.no need to install controll box or cables.probably be around the same price as buying new cables.

    Have not been to the lake in a while , been planning a trip with some friends coming in from outta town for this weekend into early next week . Lotta east winds in the forecast but light winds . I don’t usually do well in east wind fishing but with sustained and light east winds , maybe be ok ??? Anybody have any thoughts ??

    I took the fire boat out on eclipse day and it was less than 2’ in certain spots of the channel hugging west side. Was hoping it would improve but always seems to be shallow there.

    I have a new one in the box.

    Be careful launching out of Braddock's the channel is very shallow per usual, I bounced off bottom about two weeks ago in a 17ft crestliner fishhawk heading in for gas and decided i wouldn't bother risking it for the future with no real need to go into the bay.

    I launch out of the Port of Rochester and fish to lighthouse, Ill be going out Thursday Night but the fishing slowed down a bit and south winds have pushed a lot of the kings offshore. I've been most productive in 150-250 feet for kings the last two weeks and we picked up a small Atlantic a king and a handful lakers in that 75-100 range on Saturday. Meat Rig and flasher fly bite is pretty good Kings have been sitting deeper when fishing the inside water and in the top 50 or 60 of the water column when fishing that deeper 150+ range. Pretty new to trolling but that's been my experience the last two weeks.

    I've got a long set of cables that came off my 9.9 Merc kicker. I can measure them if you're interested.
