traveling man

thanks for the report. I will be up there Sunday if the winds are ok. Did your probe rigger behave today?

According to the DEC they do have natural reproduction in Lake Ontario.

andy, my probe rigger comes up pretty smooth. I don't have any problem with my coated cable unless it is self inflicted. My probe rigger is my shallowest rigger in my spead. I have cannon 10A riggers. My probe rigger is about 8 years old. I don't use anything for a guide. My other mag 10's jump when being brought up. If you want to try one of my torpedo weights PM me.

I run torpedo weights and have no problem with my probe rigger swiveled to a 30* angle.

thanks for the report. The thermocline sounds like it moved up. I hope to be up again on Wednesday.

that is a beautiful brown, congrats!!!

I marked no bait all day. But the salmon were on the screen.

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

My plan was to put in at Fair Haven and run to Port Bay and set up. It was way to foggy so we headed northwest about 4 miles at about 12mph. we set up in 160 fow and had our first fish of the day before the 3rd rod was set, glow frog mag 95 down. I did mark much so we kept trolling northwest and southwest to get towards port bay. green protroll with a green crinkle fly was good and a white double glow spin doctor with green and regular hammers went often on the wire out 330 on #2 setting.silver protroll with a green crinkle was good once the sun came out

from about 9:30 to 10:45 it got slow. We headed back east a little and moved to deeper water. We found fish in 230 - 260fow. we dropped 3 out of 4 fish in deeper water! the biggest king of the day bounce my scale between 23 and 24lbs. we did 3 smaller kings about 10 lbs and the rest were 15-18lbs. what a beautiful day to be on lake ontario.

same with me Owners but i like size #1.

andy, i use 40# for my leader and never broke 1 yet. I am sure you are using really good snap swivels. I don't use howie snubbers so i can't comment on those, I use opti snubbers. You should not be getting any line twist.

thats a tough question, just 2 huh...........

spook & NBK

As soon as i hit submit i will change my mind

did i mention glow frog?

OK My boat is a soft top 2005 islander 221. I think i am going to go with the raymarine a65 with the silver map. But it is not a WAAS unit which i don't like. my second choice is the Garmin 530 but i don't know what maps are available for it. speaking of maps is the navionics hotmaps prem lake map good?

I use the 600. 1000' of 30# fits perfect.

i had the same problem with one and sent it to tuna tom and he fixed it and put a new drag in for me.

nice rainbow!!! The lake walleye population is on the decrease, a lot of eyes go over the falls and are in the river. It is tough to target them during the day.

I am in the market for a chartplotter. After looking around my head is still spinning. I have a few questions, is an external antenna a lot better than an internal and which chartplotter would you buy if you wanted a 5" screen and wanted to pay about $800.00 or less.

what rollie said. maybe a bit deeper

at the end of august there can be a good smallmouth bit on the southend drop off. but the smallmouth fishing has been slow for the last year

I think my trip to Lake Erie is getting canceled. If it is I can fish the Cayuga LOU-ALL.

ya trimming the motor up will make a little difference in trolling speed. about .1 or .2

I run mine all the way down and yes, in the water

what do you want to fish for?

andy, all of the walleyes i have caught on owasco have been in the northern third of the lake. All of them have been in or close to bait pods. i do not know where the baits is on that lake so i can't give you a good answer. but if i was fishing for them i would start in 20 fow and work out to the middle around brutis point. i catch some walleyes during the day on sliders on that lake

this is the first one i have broke in 15 years. i think the laxan will do. thanx for the info

i broke a cannon low profile laxan swivel bases last week and need a new one. can anyone give me a catalog # and a item # from this. All i see on the web site is the stainless steel one. I have a cabelas card with lots of points on it and would like to order it from there.
