Eastern Basin St Lawrence August 12 -15 trip questions
Miss em replied to mediummike's topic in Open Lake Discussion
We will be camping at Cedar Point from the 10th to the 13th. I will be targeting walleyes while I am up there. Feel free to stop in at Site 4 and I will let you know if I have anything going on. -
You are very welcome. The nose piece on mine is just a modified T-bracket from the hardware store. However you chose to terminate your coated cable (klincher of wire line knot) jus leave a tag end long enough to connect to the antenna wire off the probe. -
That nose piece on yours that attaches to the cable is not the stock piece. The red thing on mine is a plug style electrical connector that I use to plug the antenna into the tag end of coated cable from my knot I use to terminate my coated cable to the swivel.

Here is an older photo of how I have mine set up. The original mount/safety tether was junk so I modified things a bit. I have about 12" cable leader to the weight and use a stacker release about a foot above the probe.

Barely legal. Picked up the short just before you went by me around 10 or so. -
Gave u try on the radio. I'm headed in.

Your first post inspired me to come over and give a try for a while. One keeper one short so far. Both on a cheater spoOn on rigger. Temp is 58 @ 33 feet. Both over deep water suspended.

Check out the swing hook modification on the video page on fishdoctorcharters.com

I have the same motor you are looking at with the I-pilot. Definitely get the one with the I-pilot,

Got out around 3:30 for a troll in the 40 foot water near 123 and 125. Not hot and heavy but ended up with my limit in a couple of hours. Bare Naked reef runner, gold F7 Rap on a deep diver plug rig, and one on a harness off the rigger. Lost a couple others on the reef runner.

We fished today from 10 to 11. First rod down took an 18 incher immediately on a worm harness. Few other really light bites that we did not hook up on. Fish were flat on the bottom on the finder. Yesterday when they were biting well they were up off bottom a bit.

Did pretty well this morning. Started out with a plug troll for a pass with one keeper. Switched to worm harnesses and drifted from Buoy 121 to 125. Found a bunch around 123 to 125 in 33 to 36 fow. Ended up with 9 keepers a few shorts and a half dozen or so that came unglued. First couple came on plain lead bottom bouncers with nothing on the chartreuse ones. Switched all the rods to lead ones and got all the rods working. Had some action with a harness 15 feet behind a downrigger ball too. 1.0 mph. Here are the harnesses that worked for us. -
Here is some solo, short rod, king action...
-
Went out this late afternoon/evening and had to work hard for what we got. Landed 2 between 18 and 19 inches trolling plugs. Talked to a couple of guys that had fished harnesses all day and only had one that they got early in the morning. Anybody else get anything going today? -
Just for fun. He commercial fished for around 20 years. Now he is the fleet manager for the big cannery in his town and doesn't do much commercial stuff. -
Made a quick trip for my nephew's graduation and got a little fishing in. Didn't get to do any halibut fishing, except in my brothers freezer. Catch rate was pretty good in there! Few more pictures, the cost of king salmon at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, some king crab that crawled into our tanner crab pot (couldn't keep them), and some spot prawns.

Hit the water at 1:30 for a few hours out of the south shore launch. Made a downwind troll in front of the island to maybe a 1/2 mile east of the launch where we hit our first fish. Ended up with four between 18 and 19 inches in about 45 minutes. kids wanted to go do some casting so we left them and headed for some calmer water for the last hour. One came on a Bare Naked Reef Runner, the other other three on a 7F black/gold rapala taken down deep on a deep diver Eriedescent Rapala on a three way rig. All back around 130 or so on the inline boards. 25 fow. No bites on the riggers today. When we pulled the boat, ran into a guy and gal at the launch who had launched when we did and had tried for walleyes with no success. In fact they had never caught a walleye ever. I offered him a couple of ours but they said no thanks because they didn't know how to clean them anyway. Really made their day when I fileted two of them right there on the spot for their supper tonight! Hopefully some good karma will lean my way when I am halibut fishing in Alaska this week.

Trolling motor experience with Minn Kota Power Drive V2
Miss em replied to youngknight's topic in This Old Boat
I was out today trolling worm harnesses with the iPilot. Someone on here had mentioned that there was two modes for the autopilot feature. The second mode you get to by holding down the autopilot button for 2 or 3 seconds. What a difference. The regular mode always wandered a bit for me. The second mode tracks amazingly straight. Just a quick press on the left/tight buttons seems to give you about 5 degrees of course change. -
I was just going to post to see how guys did on Oneida today. We went out at noon today for a few hours. Tried trolling plugs in 15 to 20 fow, then switched to harnesses and ended up catching one walleye in 20 fow. Seemed slow for a couple of the people I talked to at the launch.

Fish Doctor has this one: 1998 Long Shaft 8 HP Mercury Outboard - $800 This outboard was used for less than 100 hours on a drift boat 10 years ago and has been properly stored since, checked and run in 2012 by Salmon Country Marina I can deliver it to you cause I work in Mayfield.

We tried Saturday in a few spots and couldn't get anything going. Had a buddy put us on some birds for Sunday. Got to listen to 12-15 birds gobbling in the valley we were in that morning. The four near us shut right up after they flew down. Ended up calling in a couple of hens with two jakes following them in silent. Wished she could have experienced the rush of having one coming in that was gobbling but maybe next time. Weather wise, it was definitely the coldest morning that I had ever hunted for turkeys for sure. -
Emily got her first ever bird this morning. Really proud of her, freezing out, birds in close, she handled a stressful situation way better than I probably would have at 12 years old. She whacked this jake at 13 yards. Hope some others got into some action this weekend.

I have never had a cork handled rigger rod but I'm sure with normal use (non charter!) they would hold up a while. Most every store bought rod with foam grips use EVA foam. Hypalon foam is heavier but is by far the toughest. Most of our custom rod buyers prefer the hypalon once they have used them.
