    I use small mini divers and never really liked them. Slide Diver never really sold me either. I had some Chinooks given to me and started playing with them. Two seasons in and I love them for skinny water (50' or less). Diversity in the spread is always something I go for. Skinny water fishing means flatlines off big boards, divers, and riggers (7-11 rod spreads). As we slide out deeper those flatlines change to leadcores and coppers and our divers get bigger and bigger.

    On Sunday April 28th we will be releasing our fish and having the end of the season work party. We will first meet at East Fork Marina @1pm and discuss our plan of attack. We will be carpooling to the yacht club and releasing the fish. Once the fish are released, we will then split up to complete the work needed to get everything cleaned up and put away for the year. We need as many volunteers year's as possible to make this happen. See you all on Sunday!

    We spent the majority of the day in 17-25 fow in "green water". Probably our hottest setup on sunday was our diver setups. 25' out on a 3 setting with a 12' leader pulling a DW SS lemon ice spoon.

    Yes the black things in my lure picture are divers, Chinook divers. I really like over all other diver presentations this time of year. They are a size 1. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Agreed. You need backing behind your wire on okuma 30 series reels in order to fill the spool to capacity. The four I just did I used 400' of 25# mono. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Ice boom removal set to start Monday By Aaron Besecker|Published April 21, 2019|Updated April 21, 2019 SHARE TWEET Crews are planning to start removal of the Lake Erie ice boom on Monday, the International Joint Commission said late last week. Based on the amount of ice remaining on the eastern end of Lake Erie and the weather forecast, the New York Power Authority was preparing for the work, the IJC said in a news release. The work by the Power Authority to pull out the 8,800-foot ice boom would start if the weather allows for safe working conditions. The boom gets installed every December between Buffalo Harbor and Fort Erie to minimize ice floes that contribute to shoreline erosion in the Niagara River and may threaten to damage downstream hydropower operations. Removal begins when ice cover is estimated to be below 250 square miles. Last year, crews started removing the boom April 10, the IJC said. The earliest start date ever for removal was Feb. 28, 2012; the latest was May 3, 1971, according to the commission.

    It seems now whenever I respool a downrigger I dont have help. What I do now is unspool the entire spool of new downrigger cable. I try to lay it out inn as straight of a line as I possibly can. Down the dock, across the lawn, whatever. I attach my cable to the down rigger spool and with one hand I keep tension on the cable along with lay it evenly across the spool and the other hand I power the cable on. No twist, no bs. Simple and it is a one man job.

    I have two braid diver setups on the boat and they are setup exactly the same as my wire diver setups. I am an Okuma guy and all of my current setups are on 10' Okuma White Diamond diver rods. I guess to answer your question use what you are comfortable with and what you are currently using is fine.

    Amazing April bite from Sandy Creek! 9 King bites, countless Brown Trout, a Laker, and a Steelhead provided all the action we could handle. 17-25 fow Bay Rat Long Shallows and DW Super Slims.

    There's the issue. Dacron sucks. Make the switch to braid and you will never look back. I'm using 200# power pro. It doesn't stretch, it doesn't sag, it doesn't absorb water, and releases slide with ease. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    What are you using for your tow line?

    Braid all the way. I use the same backing for leadcores and copper. 65# Blood Run Braid. https://bloodruntackle.com/bloodline-braid/

    yes it is still available

    You can order them directly from https://www.dreamweaverlures.com/. Send them an email ([email protected]) and tell them exactly what you are looking for.

    7 strand for sure. I prefer Blood Run. On a 30 series Okuma you will need 300' of 25# test backing plus 1000' of wire to completely fill the spool.
  20. Legacy
    30# braid is fine for double duty. The issue with braid is once the fleas are bad you will wish you had ss wire.

    Feels great to be in the water again! Yesterday we took quick shakedown and there is a couple of things the gremlins got over the winter. No big surprises and nothing major but still a pain in the butt. Fishing wasnt too bad and there were plenty of Browns that wanted to play while we were playing with the boat. East wind had broken it up a bit but pockets of good water from Cowsucker Creek to Area 1. Highlight of the day was losing a new rod/reel. I have never lost a rod over the boat in all of my time fishing until yesterday! .
