Yankee Troller

Days don't get much better than today when you're Brown Trout fishing on Lake Ontario! Many Browns came to the net today, and we went 1/2 on King Salmon. We took our biggest Brown Trout of the season today at 12.5lbs and the Salmon we landed was 15lbs. These guys from West Virginia were floored by the fishery they were shown today! Once we had our share of Brown Trout in 10' of water we slid out to 15-30' of water and found a bigger class of Brown Trout. That was cool enough for me, but when we hooked two Salmon in that water we weren't leaving it! Today's program was Bay Rat Lures Short Shallows back 100' in Can't Afford It, My Secret, BT Candy, Ayu, Yankee Troller, Citric Shad, and Ridin Dirty. Our Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers were going out 10-20' back with Mulloto, Yellow Tail, Glow Frog, and Green Shorts. Our Cannon downriggers took both King bites down 20-25' fishing a Sea Sick Waddler and a Green Shorts spoon fished 50' back.

We took 2 steelbow on that day.

Friday March 30th - Ran the Lund today. It was windy, cold, and bumpy but we had a decent day. One nice Brown Trout around 7/8lbs, but everything else was smaller. We kept four small ones, and let everything else go. Our port Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers was the man today out 8' pulling a Team Dreamweaver Gold Sea Sick Waddler. Bay Rat Lures that went behind our Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 in-line boards were My Secret and Yankee Troller. Saturday March 31st - Great first trip on the Yankee today. Al Kohut and boys were up from PA for their annual Brown Trout trip. We had a great pick all morning. Bay Rat Lures in Citric Shad, My Secret, Ayu, and Coho Crusher. Rogues that went were Firetiger and Log Perch. Most fish ate our surface baits. Only one fish on our Cannon downriggers and two fish on our Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers. Team Dreamweaver SS's that went on those were Chilly Willy and a Gold Sea Sick Waddler. FishUSA | EGO Fishing - Designed for the Savvy Angler | McCoy Fishing Line | Daiwa Corporation - USA

They are a company out of Erie, PA. Everything about a Bay Rat is made in America. The best part about them is their durability. The other brands just don't last. They work, but they are made in China and break. As a consumer Bay Rat will also paint you a custom color with a very low minimum order (2).

The FishHawk ducer wont interfere. The 350a will if you still run that.

Tell me what the other transducers are used for?

Wrenched on them today! A nice class of fish to boot! All released to fight another day. These experienced trollers from Lake Huron just had to come experience Lake Ontario Spring Brown Trout, and today they got spoiled. Bay Rat Luresin Citric Shad, Coho Crusher, My Secret, and Yankee Troller were going 70-100' behind our Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 in-line boards. Our Cannon downriggers were firing 40' back down 5' with Team DreamweaverSS's in Dirty White Boy and Silver/Green.

I'd say these folks from Harrisburg, PA were spoiled by the amazing Lake Ontario Spring Brown Trout fishery we have! They stood strong in the 1-3' waves battling fish after fish, and many times doubles. Water color was perfect and the waves gave our baits great action! The new Bay Rat Lures Citric Shad short shallow was amazing today! This is the water color I wanted it for when I asked them to paint it. Other colors that went were Firetiger, My Secret, and Coho Crusher. We fished them 70-100' behind our Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 in-line planer boards. Our Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers and Cannon Downriggers were going well with Team Dreamweaver SS's in Chilly Willy and Dirty White Boy.

Would you be interested in designing a custom sized one?

My problem stemmed from my customers walking off the dock with their limit of Chinook/Coho this past September. They were stopped at the end of the dock by a "new guy" and after he saw the fillets he came down to my boat looking for the carcasses. I told him I cleaned the fish on the Lake. He proceeded to tell me you can't do that. Walked to his truck to write me a ticket. I went over and explained to him I could provide a picture of every fish that went into those bags that had a time stamp on it. I also asked to see the regulation. In the regs it states you need to have Atlantic and Lake Trout carcasses to accompany the fillets. This is to allow a DEC officer to make sure "unders" aren't kept. My argument was these were Pacific Salmon and were not subject to those regs. I leave the skin on all my fillets, so they were identifiable. However, I chunked them up as 20+ lb Salmon fillets don't fit well in a 1gl zip-lock whole. I guess my other question is.....when can the separation of carcass and fillet happen? Can clients get stopped on the way home with just fillets and be ticketed? There is no clear answer.
