    When you believe the screen on your graph is “empty “ change your frequency setting to a lower rate. Deep water fish will pop up on the screen. I have found fish down to 200 feet deep playing with lower frequency numbers and pulse rates. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The gps must have a clear access to the sky. Mounting the radio under the console or in a cabin will make it useless. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Those new four stroke engines add over 100 pounds on the transom . Also a kicker transom engine adds over another 100 pounds. The bilge water will add weight to the transom. When the boats were designed and tested they probably used a lighter two stoke engine and no trolling engine [emoji17]. I banged a lot of props over the years and never sank a boat. Raising the lower unit also took floatation away. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Late summer kings hit a lot of higher speed, such as over three mph, with heavy large spoons. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    When using divers be aware that deep diving plugs tilt your diver up and you lose a lot of depth control. Lures like Rapala stick baits do not have a lot of drag. That tips the diver up and cause a lot of depth control. Flashers are better off down riggers where your blow back angle tells you where your true depth is .

    When I hooked A big king, I let out another 100 foot of line and then cleared all lines and riggers. With the engine I chased a lot of line back up and when we were near the boat we shut the engine down and raised it out of the water so the bottom of the boat was clear of obstructions. When the fish rolled on its side we then netted it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    So the so called level floatation does not work with a heavy large four stroke engine? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Septic systems from lake side cottages are guilty also. Lawn fertilizer contributes also. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Cold August nights cool smaller stream water temperatures down and the kings stage in deep cold bottom water just offshore of streams like 18 mile creek in Olcott. A lot of prize winners came from there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    My Veterinarian advises you to never let your dog swim in the algae since some of it is deadly. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Pacific salmon die in the stream to provide feed for their new generation. Mountain streams are mostly snow and glacier melt water. Very nutrient deficient and the decaying carcasses are the food newly hatched fry, fingerlings and steelhead that winter over in the rivers and streams feed on.

    Try unhooking the fish with a pole with a hook screwed into the end. Catch the lure hook with the pole and the hook easily releases. Safer than getting your self hooked by a thrashing fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Always lower the weight using the clicker on the reel to keep the line straight. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    When setting dipseys all ways use the clicker on the reel to let them out slow enough to keep the dipsey from spinning over your lure line. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Cold nights in August bring cold stream water into Lake Ontario. That is where the kings congregate off shore in the cold water. The Niagara River has warm Lake Erie water flowing till November. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Warm summer waters create their own weather off shore when a cold from passes. Those TV weather people have no idea what goes on offshore . I always add 5 to 10 mph to their on shore forecasts. After seventy years fishing I might know something. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Late summer season succeeds when you use heavier spoons at 3 plus mph speeds for kings. Dipsey Divers work well at deep waters when your cannonballs will not hold at 80 plus feet of water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Another area for tuna is “Nags Head, NC in March. Out of Oregon Inlet 40 miles to the steaming Gulf Stream you can do well. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    You would need a iarger board to hold up the diosey unless it is a smaller one.,
