  1. For all the charter captains out there - a question for you please.  We are on a steady troll west holding 10 -11 ft of water.   Another boat way ahead is turning right to head back east, out in 20-25 fow,   Still circling his turn, he comes into the 10-11 fow without straightening out and pinches me into 6-7 fow.  He grabs up my board in his rigger.  I am not a novice, also realize not a pro.  Did I do anything wrong here captain?   Ya think he would apologize or say something ?  Scratching my head here.... Thanks.

    Let me guess.......was it a cream and maroon...older chris craft........???????

  2. Congrats Steve..Nice slob.........I'm still looking for mine

     

     

    We must be doing something wrong.  I hear about all these 2lb'ers getting caught all the time in Sodus and I-bay.....LMAO

  3. I think you need just a very heavy one to stop the swing. Also since you have a big enough boat ( I wouldn't try it in a small row boat) have you tried anchoring mid-ship or set it front and aft so the boat sits with it's side to the wind?

  4. Remember also, more and more of the charter captains are working without a mate and steering with an auto pilot and don't always see you coming (setting lines, netting fish, etc) I'm not saying it's right or I agree but it's just a fact. If you know who they are or can figure it out on the water( no one ever at the helm) give them some room and avoid a last minute severe course change.

  5. Spend some time reading the posts on tackle and techniques........there is no right way or wrong way. Braid will be a problem on Ontario due to spinyfleas collecting on your line. Kinda like cottonwood seeds only much worse. You'll probably want to use wire on dipseys. Read, read, read......you'll get it. Maybe take out a charter, it may shorten your learning curve
