No doubt about it...No questions asked... tough bite!

A fish Hawk TD will help you find temp but it will not help you with down speed which i believe is more critical. I personally run a Subtroll and love the unit, love the analog display. Subtroll unit does require you to have coated downrigger cable to send the signal to the display unit. I do however believe that fishhawk has the technology in its corner. They have a great unit and are certainly the most technologically advanced unit on the market. Fishhawk relies on a transducer to send the signal to the display. Honestly you cant lose with either unit. I would highly recommend both units.

The Sandy Creek Pen Rearing Project will be releasing both our 7500 Steelhead and our 55000 Chinooks on Wednesday May 7th @ 5:00 pm. We welcome anyone willing to help out to join us at the Sandy Creek Marina and give us a hand. https://www.facebook.com/SandyCreekPenRearingProject

Mission Craze is a great choice. It will really give her a chance to grow with the bow and you will never need anything more then maybe new arrows

We spent a little time yesterday investigating deeper water. It should not come as a big surprise but outside of the colored water remains to be a clean and an extremely cold wall of water (60'+ = 38 degrees). Tough to leave the shallows to fish those conditions so we tucked our tail between our legs and ran for 15 fow. And with the threat of sounding like a broken record, fishing remains great inside. Same program as the past few weeks for us with the exception of bigger sticks off the boards (same patterns though- goby, chart, black/silver). along with DW ss off the riggers and slide divers (caramel dolphin, yellow goby, and anything orange). Everything still leadered up in 10# Blood Run Fluorocarbon. Plenty of fish in 10-15 fow and as the bite slow in the late morning we slid out to 20-25 and found plenty of fish there too. Great mixed catch of Browns, Cohos, Lakers, Steel, and a King. (Only needing an Atlantic Salmon for the Lake Ontario Slam.)

No more fleaflicker, Cortland discontinued the line at the start of this season. Blood Run's 30# Sea Flee line has really worked great for me. It relies on its diameter and its slick line coating to repell fleas. It also has a round shape unlike the oval shape of cortland fleaflicker line which most guys didnt like too much.

When setting slide divers... i reel the slide diver to the tip of the rod and then reset the counter. I grab the slide diver, release the spool, and drop the rod in a rod holder. I bring the diver to the same level as the reel counter and run out the line. In this case I run out 90' of line as per the linecounter and lock the slide diver in place. i then drop the slide diver in the water and count out another 11' feet. The actual distance between the diver and the rod tip is 11' plus the length of the rod (8'). So the actual distance is probably closer to 20' not 11'. For shallow water fishing im using a 5 setting, in all hopes to get the greatest pull away from the boat.

Fishing continues to be nothing short of ridiculous. 50 plus fish with a mixed catch of Browns, Cohos, and Lakers equaled a day full of Chinese fire drills. Yesterday we straight line trolled from Hamlin beach to Cowsucker Creek from west to east and then east to west. We found lots of good water in tight (8-12 fow). Most of it stained (and to my surprise, not muddy) and all around mid 40s in temp. The big difference this week is the bait has shown up. Everything we caught seemed to be spitting up bait. Gobies, Niagaras, and alewives all found the deck of the boat. Inside the creek is also seeing its fair share of bait. Challenger sticks in goby and chart took their fair share of fish but DW spoons were king yesterday. Dreamweaver super slims off the riggers (65' and 55' down 7') and slide divers ( back 90', out 101') provided the majority of the action for us. DW ss caramel dolphin was the best bait to hit the water yesterday but yellow goby, glow orange slurpee, orange gangster, steelie cane, mixed veggie, and glow frog all took shots.

How do you have to load the pens?
