I was last weekend. Helping a buddy run a couple trips. My boat is out of Oz until late Sept when I come back to Sodus. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Not sure what slow is.... ran 2 trips Saturday and Sunday, had 15- 20 bites each day. Kings, steelies and lakers. All spoon bite for us, surface down to 75’. Short cores, full cores, short coppers, divers to 220, riggers 25-75’. Clients were very happy!!!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If that deal falls through I will take it. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Tie it into your main steering and steer with rudder and motor. I have twin inboards and have my t25 plumbed into my hydraulic steering. Works great!!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Was out Saturday and Sunday and we had a lot of fun!!! Brown trout fishing was a little slow, but the Kings were there and willing to play!!! 65-100’ Saturday was west of chute and Sunday I was straight out to a little east. Riggers set 35-55’, stingrays in Lances 2 face, carbon 14, grn glow alewive Uv, frost bite, dirty broom stick Uv, marvs big fatty pulling an ATOMMIK 041, and a prototype flasher we are testing pulling an ATOMMIK meat rig on a 200’ copper also went. We marked a lot of fish, but I believe the bait is right to the bottom due to the cold water still. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have owned 2 Controllking and love them. I had one on my Thompson and also have one on my Aquasport. I have replaced 1 Servo on each unit, but the hours i have put on my kickers is over 1k on each unit. I am a rep for this company, let me know if there is any questions you may have. They are a great company to work with and have great customer service. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The launch is fine. Boats we’re launching all day, no problems!!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It is not under water yet, but this hard west wind coming might put a little on it. I was there last night and the blue dock lot was 9-12” above the water. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Did you put tape on the spool and then tie your backing to the spool?? If not, then your backing is slipping on the spool. Let it out all the way, take a piece of electrical tape and tape it to the spool and then wind it back on, problem solved. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I used 50lb braid for backer on that full core. That is what I had left, so i used it. With 30lb, I am guessing you would be good with 130 full passes. If you have 2 of the same reels, put it on the first one backwards until the spook is full, then reel it onto the other one, and count your passes and write it down. That is how I have done all my spooling for cores and coppers. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The size 50 is a better option IMHO, will hold more backing, esp if you are using it for Kings. What I have in my notes for the 50 is: 100 full passes; back and forth of the level wind is 1 pass, plus full core should fill it perfect. Capt Rich.
