My team will be fishing this event. We are not fans of adding Lake Trout to the main event box. The reasoning used above "to take pressure off the Salmon" blows my mind. In an ecosystem that is struggling to generate big fish with enough science pointing to a week biomass of adult alewife I'd think the right thing to do would be too get mature Salmon out of the system to try and bring it back. These stocking cuts are doing nothing today to help our situation. Increasing harvest rates on Salmon and Lake Trout is the only thing that can help us right away.

Thanks guys!

That's what we've used. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have used those and they work great. Little tough for customers I think. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I recorded one this weekend at the Niagara Show. When I know where they are posted I'll get back to ya.

I generally use spoons, but a buddy runs Bay Rat short shallows behind them and does well.

No, but I do recommend a ML action rod. I've run 8' and 9' ML rods. Both work fine.

Typically, I run it on 30 lb braid. On this particular day I ran it on a rod that had 15 lb monofilament. One thing you want to make sure of is that you have a medium light action rod. Eight and a half to nine foot seems to be best. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sk8man is correct. They offer less resistance and seem to dive better. I brought them on a buddy's boat and ran it on one side vs his regular diver on his side. He couldn't compete. Could it have been the day? Sure, but others have seen the same results. I've also noticed when running the larger versions on wire they create a vibration in the tip. I'd like to mention this side in the video was where my kicker was running. What's even more impressive is that the side exhaust on my Trojan doesn't even scare these fish. My diver is more or less right in that loud exhaust. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

https://chinookdiver.com/shop?olsPage=products For this technique we like size 2, but I know guys running size 1.

Who would have thought that 8-12' divers could save the day while Spring Brown Trout fishing in skinny water? For years it was all about "stealth" when fishing these fish. Well, here's the proof that these divers work. This is a technique that was started by a couple of Rochester captains, and since then it's been tested all over the South shore of Lake Ontario. If you don't have these in the water you're missing bites. Bites that come from right under your boat! We like the #2 size Chinook Diver with about a 6' 15lb leader off the back of the diver. We set the diver to the setting that brings it away from the boat. On that setting you can match the line out on your counter to the depth of water you're in. In 10' of water let the diver out 10'.
