Welcome to the site. Nice rig. Tom B. (LongLine)

State senator wants more cameras - which I don't think I have issue with: http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/06/schumer_feds_should_make_osweg.html So how come there's only one/two web-cam?????? (and that's privately funded, isn't it?) Please correct me if I'm wrong. Tom B. (LongLine)

WTG - A double while flying solo really wobbles the knees doesn't it. Tom B. (LongLine)

He's definitely helped the fishermen. I hope he gets better. Zeke & Cyn - Can you post his email. Thanx Tom B. (LongLine)

Those are interesting. Thanx for posting. Tom B. (LongLine)

There should be a metal tag on it somewhere with the model & serial number. A good place to look is on the side of the engine clamps. (to the transom) Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site. Yes they can be caught from shore if you're there REAL early as Whaler said. Like before sunrise. Definitely light line - 8 tops. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site. Check out the reports section...lot of lakers being caught - and some are slobs. Tom B. (LongLine)

Check out this site – click the “more†& move your mouse through the hours. http://graphical.weather.gov/sectors/bufMarineWeek.php Also check this site. (don’t forget to scroll down. Click on Forecast & Nowcast pull downs. Find Lake Ontario. Scroll through the time scales. http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=o&ext=swt&type=N&hr=00 Put them both together & you should be able to get a good idea of what’s going on out there. Look at normal map of Lake O. The direction where the wind travels the least over the water will give you the calmest water. i.e. South wind & you can be out there all day with no chop worries. Typically during the summer, (and right now) early morning is calmest. Winds start to pick up a little around 9-9:30. Tom B. (LongLine)

When I'm not running a board, I always stack on the non-probe rigg'r. I'm different that Vogel though. My F/F is on top about 15-20 ft back and usually 12-15 ft up. Clean spoon on the bottom 10-25 ft behind the stacker. Never had a problem (& I'm one of the "ol guys.") Experience will tell you what you can do & how to handle it. You have to be careful when you lower the ball with the F/F on the bottom. It will not go down as fast as the as the upper spoon. Tom B. (LongLine)

No, we said we wanted to third rod to help locate the active fish. BTW - No soloist fishing only 3 rods has reported a triple...yet. (I've had two doubles but no triples...yet) LyteLine - :yes: Tom B. (LongLine)

Definitely look for sites that give you multiple times. i.e. past and/or predicted future...look for patterns. If it's been calm for a few days, you can expect a change. Same for winds - "blows" from the west generally last 3 days. At Fair Haven, at least you have a pretty bay to fish in case of a blow-off. Tom B. (LongLine)

Watch out for some big logs out there: http://online.wsj.com/article/AP5da1dd7c34524441a9afff8bf94ce2e9.html (CG issues warnings due to high quantity of rain lately - especially at Niagara & Genny) Tom B. (LongLine)
