FISHINMAN

dremarquis, don't venture out farther than 150' nothing out there today.

Stay in close and shoot for the browns and maybe a king mixed in. Found that out today when I went inn search of kings out further.

Big Fat SKUNK First time this year :x 1 knock off inside 85 ft. Passed a few dead skunks on the way out didn't think the smell would stay in the boat though, or it was that %** banana Jax set on the back of my boat before launching :x

This is not good!

What tricks? Like how to actually get the fish in the boat

WL, mine are the two plastic ones together without the metal clip, like the 1st picture but 2 together, one has like 4" of mono and the other is like 6" but they are connected. You just clip one plastic one right to the cable and the other to the fishing line. I'll post a pic. when I can for you.

See ya out there. I'm heading out to the depths for kings.

Brian, when you know what freezes over or there is a blue moon or Jax doesn't drop over 50% of his fish :shock:

Pops I hope to be out there too on Wednesday AM.

Capt. Pat you going out Wednesday evening? Give me a shout on the Telly (353-7700) might like to leave my boat at your dock if possible so I don't have to trailer it from Chili to Sandy, back to Chili and then back to Sandy then back to Chili again :shock:

Waterlogged what problems did you have :? :?: I have run them with no problems reading speed or temp, and I believe that Jack aka Shorthanded had a sub troll and I know that he used them on his boat. They are plastic and rubber so I don't see where there would be a problem.

Jim, it's actually the Orleans County Derby and it runs Aug. 4th-19th. The last 3 days actually run into the LOC derby too. That's all I know about it. Maybe the people @ the ATTHEOAK.com site have more info.

Brian,

I highly reccomned not horsing the lakers to the boat and using a rubber net. I found the rubber net gets them back in the water a lot quicker. They always tend to twist up in the other style nets. If the laker is full of air, you will need to burb them to get the air out. This needs to be done gently so the laker is not hurt in the process.

NO COMMENT :x :roll: :!:

Good thing you didn't tell Ray you had that oil he may have wanted you to rub it all over him :shock:

Hmmm..... 10 fish landed in the 2 days at Sodus with me on the boat (all be it a little sickly 1 day) and only 2 fish at the LSR and I'm not on the boat :shock: kinda makes me wonder

WOW :shock: Looks like I made the right decision to stay home.

I think this thing was doomed from the beginning because it sounded like a last minute thrown together derby to begin with.

Ray what about the Olcott Derby :?: Turn your phone on :x and give me a call.

Hijinks, cowbells are the ticket from what I saw the other day (never used them ) but like LT said get what ever you can down near the bottom and run it SLOW!! Use as light a rod as you can to give you a better fight. One suggestion for you is to have your nephew bring a book or game boy with him to keep him occupied while you are trolling.

Good luck and don't be afraid to go for some kings early then try for the lakers :x

Try to contact Brian aka Gambler (boat name "Escape" on CH.72) if he's out he can put you on them he's an expert

Thanks again for the concern, I actually pulled in right behind Trout & About. Did he have some engine trouble? I heard somebody say something about losing some power or something that was coming in.

I was gonna drive over to the other side to see you but I had to get going. Another time maybe.

Next time I'm fishing near you please don't disturb the lake trout around me

Nice, very nice Mark!

Bob, more like "easier" even earlier this week.

Oh yes there is something wrong with a LT bite :x No fight and reset the riggers, waist of time, gas and energy if you ask me :!:

All I can say is slow! What a difference a couple of days make :shock: No fish in site and bait all but disappeared.

Unless you like the lake trout action and there was a lot of that today from other boats that "targeted" them. Guys like Gambler, Trout and About that hammered them it the 25-35 amounts, and Jax aka Mr. Drops :? :x who also boated like 8 or 9 the fishing was slowwwwwww.

I ended up 3 for 3 with 2 mature kings in the 25lb range and 1 freakin 10-12LB Lake Trout that those other guys stirred up :x when I was passing by them (Gambler, Trout and About and I all had fish on within 100 feet of each other)

1 King was on a Mag R&R watermelon back 35ft, down 60ft over 130ft on a rigger.

The other was on my super Siggs rigs Green apple fly behind that Mtn Dew on Mtn Dew Spinny that just keeps taking fish (fly is getting a little worn but it is a great testament to the job they do on those flys ) on the wire back 180 on 2.5 in 85ft of water. Seemed like maybe they liked a little speed as I sped up to 3.5 GPS and took both kings on turns.

Thanks to Capt. Pat for giving me a call today after being out last night with some info and Gambler for the storm info :shock: and Jax for his info also.

Pat told me later today a friend of his was doing well on fish out in 300ft :shock:

Jax how's about the method you used on Wednesday :shock: :?: That seemed to work well

Musky you are gonna need WAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF BEERS!! Grab a few out before 9am or they will be all gone with Ray there :shock: Get some pics of big Buffy and little Buffy!!

W.W.IV. there is no LOC derby going on right now, it ended at the Sodus Pro-Am

B & E tackle on 104 just past Webster is pretty good and is close to Rochester. I was at Abes In Sodus during the Pro-am and they were loaded. That place is awesome!! I am heading out there next week to get my new probe and buy some other goodies :shock: You can also try S&R tackle in Sea Breeze they added alot of trout and salmon stuff Nk's and Yecks, of course this is after I lived 1 block from there for 20yrs and they had worms and minnows :x

Buffy Ray you see that deer in your picture? You are starting to look like that in my mind :shock:

Sorry Buffy no 2 rods for this trip . I could send you some chum in a bag if you'd like :shock:. I am on the shelf for tourney's until fall LOC. Need to work (it's what most all of us have to do) and finish my landscaping job around the house.

Musky, man the wire and make sure he keep his cloths on :shock:

Good luck to you guys I'll call ya and if you don't finish in the top 10, I'll/we be wondering what the difference was :? :?:

Thumb, doesn't sound like a power problem. I had the same issues. My unit is that old also and you should get a (dot) on the screen when it's working but not in the water. Not sure about getting a 00 reading. My unit is wired to the battery.

The plug that goes into the back of the unit is for the probe, but check your connection from the antenna cable to the long cable/plug that goes into the unit. You can put the probe in a bucket of COOL water and and see if a reading comes up.

Are you absolutely sure about the battery being good. Mine was new out of the package but was dead :shock: . Replaced it and worked fine.

Good luck and keep at it you'll figure it out

BP see Persistance reply on this post http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishin ... php?t=2497

I've also learned that fighting them is no fun when you're by yourself, without autopilot and there's boats all around you. Smile

Hijinks that's what makes it fun when your by yourself :shock:

The bungee works I've seen it work on Ray's boat
