Think you may have been too shallow. That storm blew a lot of warm water into the bay. A good way to tell if you have DF transducer is to check the mounting bracket on the stern. A DF is a bigger ducer and has a two piece plastic mount. The 200 kHz skimmer trans has a one piece metal bracket Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Do you have a dual frequency transducer ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Pancakes =tangles. Especially in cross currents. Get some 12 lb ( or heavier ) torpedo weights. And keep in mind with this much blowback , you may need 150 ft or more downrigger cable out to reach 100 ft Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I took the 13 week course with my son when he was 10 so that he could operate the boat I gained a wealth of knowledge from that course regarding the rules of the road on the water. You can't operate a motor vehicle without classes ,training and testing Why should ANYBODY be allowed to operate a boat without like training. I have been an advocate of mandatory training and have contacted legislators Re: this matter. I know. You will say training won't stop idiots. But at least they will have a clue about how to operate a boat. Which many out there don't Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Big Weenie stopped making the stuff years ago. Must be a reason. Some things catch more fishermen than fish. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have Been fishing meat for a lot of years. Rhys Davis was THE best cut bait ever. He got out of the US market when VHS raised its ugly head. He would not change his prep methods I have tried every imitation cut bait product. I have a ton of Big Weenie stuff. Think I may have taken one king on it. Probably on a day they would hit a tin can I can say that NOTHING outfishes the real thing. Some brands are better than others. Don't cheap out.

Waterspouts anyone ?? Nice salmon chop NOT. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fat Nancy's has cut bait. I believe All Seasons has it also. Not sure about Woody's. But you could give them a call Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I believe that cold fronts have negative effect on the bite . A cold front means low pressure and that effects the water column ,no matter how deep. The rough water doesn't help either LOL

Permethrin is another active ingredient in ultra shield. No thank you Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Ultra shield is NOT approved for use on humans. Contains powerful carcinogens it is also not to be used around any body of water as it is a powerful aquacide deadly to all water critters. Read the warnings on the label and on line. Be careful with that stuff Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The only product I have found that works on the ankle biters is buggspray. You can buy it online at amazon or eBay. Make sure you order the biting fly formula Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

400 for sure. That gives you extra if you ever ( hope not ) need to reterminate after a break off Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I hear you about the probe. I make sure it's not on bottom long. I just run the weight to the bottom till cable goes slack and get it out of there fast also my counter on the rigger seems to agree with the bottom depth within a couple of feet. It's nice to know exactly what your gear is telling you is correct My snt uses a coated cable which accounts for the difference in cable length to reach depth Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Not sure about fish hawk. I run an old cannon snt. Maybe mine is off I check its depth reading every year by drifting in neutral and running my weight to the bottom and check the reading against my sonar. The temp reading on the probe agrees with surface temp on my sonar. I was concerned about the difference in our readings. I know I need 120 feet of cable out to reach 100 ft with a 16 lb torpedo Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

With 115 foc out on a rigger with s probe. I would think you were fishing well above 105 ft. What kind of angle do you estimate you had on that rigger cable ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We fished around that area yesterday I am curious about the temp readings. We found cold 40 degree water down 90 over 150 had to fish 75 to 85 to stay in 42 to 47 We saw lots of bait but very few fish Lakers near bottom Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
