    Will a Fish Hawk Lithium Pro Probe work with an X4D fish hawk? I know the Lithium Ultra is the one that sends depth, but curious if the Lithium Pro will still work with the X4D, but it just won't show the depth. 

     

    Yes

     

    Backwards compatibility on all Fish Hawk products

    I'm thinking that I read recently about either a strain swap or some outcrossing at the hatchery meant to improve browns - can't recall the exact details.

     

    Maybe Dave should put ribeye and MacCallan 18 on the menu for the award ceremony to make up for the boards that have been eliminated or failed to be filled over the past couple years.

     

    Correct. New strain of browns being stock now in lake o. This year might actually be the first year of 100 percent of the new strain.

    How much 50# braid backing for a Okuma 55L reel would I need for a 350’ and a 450’ copper set up using 45#copper???

     

    IMO, Okuma 55 series is too small for 450 copper. If you fish it down the chute you can probably get away with it

     

     

     

  6. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday June 3 at 7pm sharp at the Irondequoit Fish & Game Club and will feature Guest speakers Chris Legard, and the crew from the NYSDEC. This meeting will provide an update on the Lake Ontario parental base tagging project and will also be a chance for you to ask some questions.

    As always our meetings are open to the public and encourage you all to attend.

    Was wondering if anyone uses Blood Run Fluorocarbon for leaders and how do they like it ? Usually use Seagur for brown trout but if BRF is good, more line for the money. Thanks Also what lb test do most people use ?  Lighter line for clear water I know. We usually use 12- 15 depending if fishing deeper or salmon are around

     

    Its all I have been using for 12+ years. I love all of their lines and I cant say enough. 

    8-15# for Springtime fishing. I typically have colored water so I prefer heavier line because I can get away with it and the threat of Spring Kings..

    I run heavier leaders on riggers and my divers and lighter on my flatlines

    I love early spring trolling, but never get to go enough each year to get good at it. One thing I don't have a handle on is when the fish want to hit a lure in your prop wash. Last year I was out I'm March with my buddy, and we got 6 browns. Feeling good, we met guys at the launch who had a 25 fish day. They were very nice and tried not to be condescending.  Turns out the secret was that they were running long leads off their planer boards, which were let out far from the boat. What I gathered from that was that the fish can be skittish of your boat. Next trip out I used long leads and fdid far better.  What I wonder about is that I remember trips where I put a lead core with a snap weight right behind the kicker. In 10 foot of water, it got a lot of the action. What determines that?  Why would fish be either spooked by the boat or attracted by the churning propeller,,?  I never get to make enough trips to figure it out for myself. 

     

    In Spring, more often than not long lines seem to out produce everything else in the boat. However... Im always amazed at how well my divers have on certain days. And some of those days I can literally see my diver in the water,

    so i know its early yet to be thinking about fishing cool deep water under warmer water, but i want to hear everyones thoughts on it. Last season we would occasionally mark fish around 150-175'(near bottom where we were) and the temp line was way above them and all our fish were in the top 75'. Now ive had people tell me they'll always keep at least one pole down there in the "ice box" and ive also had people tell me not to waste our time. So whats everyones thoughts? Do certain presentations work better for the deeper fish? certain speeds? im all ears to any suggestions

     

    In my home waters these marks are typically lakers. 150-200' and relating to bottom my bet most of the year would be on lakers. However... kings love to hang in ice water (39 degrees) 150-250' down over open water. Its not a surprise to see consistent king marks 150, 200, or even 250' down over a 400' bottom. I tend to see these marks mid morning and mid day. My thought on them is they fed all morning and they seek out deep, cold water for solitude, slow their metabolism down, and just digest their morning breakfast away from the crowd. They tend to be inactive however they have a tough time resisting a big paddle and meat in their face.

    Thank you very much. I didn't realize they changed the name. I'm looking for a long extra deep though. Don't see them yet

     

    So the short shallows are the only ones in production right now. Long shallows are next in line to get produced. Look for them some time this year.
