    April 3rd Great first day on the Yankee Troller for the 2021 season. We caught various sizes of Brown Trout as well as a couple of Coho Salmon. We had a great group of guys from Western Pennsylvania. Al has brought a crew up here every year for about the last 9-10yrs. It's always great to share the boat with them. The weather was nice today so we put out our typical Spring Brown Trout program. Eight lines flat lined on our planer boards, two Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers, and two Cannon Downriggers. No one bait was really "the man" today. Bay Rat Lures in SS and S3 that went today we're Ayu, My Secret, Lemon Lime, Ghost Face, Tricky Ricky, Candy Corn, Citric Shad, Can't Afford It, and Hot Secret. Glow Frog was our best spoon on the Divers and Downriggers. UV Sea Sick Waddler took out biggest Brown Trout today down 3' and back 40' on our Cannon Downrigger. Back at it in the morning! April 4th Happy Easter everyone! We found a few Easter eggs today with a new crew from Western Pennsylvania. They were referred by yesterday's crew, and after yesterday's piggie there were high expectations to fulfill. We found out very quickly this morning that the fishy conditions we had yesterday deteriorated. We were met with very clear water along the shoreline. We started with mostly natural presentations. Leads off our boards were 110-120'. On our first pass the only fish that hit was on a UV Sea Sick Waddler down 3' and back 40' off our downrigger. After three hours of not much we switched it up. We took one side of the boat and changed baits as well as lengthened the leads up to 150' back. We slid into 7' of water and doubled up fairly quick. We changed out the other side of the boat to match the side that was firing. Each pass after that yielded a fish or two. We were fortunate to connect with three different Trout species today, and two fish are headed to taxidermy. We'd say that was a successful trip in tough conditions when most boats only took a few shots. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I've utilized the cannonball hook to center the cable coming onto the spool. We run braid and this is how I remedy the situation. I don't know what repercussions cable going through that hook might do?

    I'll put ya to work at Krenzer Marine if you want some extra work.

    I've run HELIX units for a long time. I think they're great for what we do. I don't see the need for DI or SI unless you are using it to find structure (example Onieda Lake for Walleye). I'd recommend pairing an Airmar P66 or B60 (depending on hull material) transducer with the unit if you're using it solely for trolling. I can drop ship from my distributor and give you a total on whatever you choose. Here's my website. A lot of things in the marine industry are hard to get right now, so you'll so "sold out" on the website. PM me and I can put the order in and get your name on whatever you choose. https://kmielectronics.com/

    Great two days of fishing! Our clients had a great time bending rods on some quality Brown Trout. Bay Rats behind offshore inline boards were our best presentations throughout the weekend, but on Saturday we did take a bunch of bites on spoons fished off our downriggers and divers. Best Bay Rats were Jail Bird and Tricky Ricky (pictured below). Both days we probed that 20-40' looking for some Salmon, but the Humminbird didn't show much of anything out there.

    Buffalo or Utica are your only option. You can find the info on Minn Kota's website. Seager told me they wouldn't fix mine since I didn't buy it there. https://www.minnkotamotors.com/support/service-providers/locate

    None of my distributors have them in stock until the end of March. I can sell them for $1450

    I had a charter buddy run Daiwa Accudepth reels for wire divers over the course of a season to prove they could hold up, and they did. Daiwa's linecounter technology in that reel is the same as in the Sealines. It's been around forever. That being said I have no experience with them except for a few seasons where I ran them for Brown Trout set-ups.

    I think you're better off heading out of the Genny. Still plenty of fish to play with, and you might learn something. Option 1 is just a rod bender spot.

    The one that's left is 24v. The 36v model sold yesterday.

    My Lund beached itself back in January heading out of there. If the water is any lower now it might be tough to get out.

    You really should have gotten the PS30 transducer. That's what everyone's using on Lake Ontario.

    I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Avery Outdoors and Off Shore Tackle Company to do a podcast earlier this week. Check it out on your next drive. I bet it's better than that song you've heard 5273947474 times.....[emoji1787] https://offshoretacklepodcast.libsyn.com/march-2021 Sent from my Pixel 5 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
