    The reason I asked the initial question is bc I have the church tx6 and tx12 boards. The 12's don't have a weight from what i remember. They run fine with a stick or a spoon. I might occasionally use leadcore with the walleye boards but also might use them with mono while trailing a stick or a spoon just like the 12's. Does anyone ever take the weight off the walleye board while trolling with mono?

    Does anyone ever remove the keel weight on the walleye board when using spoons or stickbaits? I'm guessing the keel weight is mainly for using leadcore or snap weights. Any help is appreciated.

    I spent a good amount of time when I attended KC (early 2000's) trolling shallow on the East arm from Penn Yan to the college. We would catch nice browns, salmon, lakers, big pickerel, and hefty smallies running tx6 planers and stickbaits. Once caught a respectable salmon from shore on pt Nemo at the college as well. The fish are around. Never ran into many ppl doing the same. Focus on small points and creeks coming into the lake.

    Nice report. Might have to try some different launches myself now that I have some new trailer bearings . What ones do you like the best since you've started fishing the big lake Reel Doc?

    So who picks the season dates now? Seems that the task force way was better. You'd sit for hours in a day just to still disagree bc one group or another would be shafted. That was still better than however it's done now. Too bad they cant split up the regions to accommodate hunters better.

    Great to meet ya at the dock! Good looking dog you have. Sounds like a fun mixed bag for you out there. Keep those reports coming. I'm interested in what the coming months bring on the big lake as well.

    Thanks for the help guys. Was able to find it at a Napa store first thing this morning. Also gonna keep an extra just incase. Gotta love trailers

    Does anyone know if someone local carries hubs? I'm looking for a BT 150A. I know I can get one online but would rather try local. Gonna give a Napa close by a call. Any other ideas? The hubs at tractor supply and runnings don't fit.

    Launched around 8ish. Fished west around 2mph with water temps 41-42 degrees. First time seeing any kind of mudline. Tried a nbk and sodus pt buckeye spoons, and esmerelda and filthy pouch bayrats. Went 4 for 4 with 3 browns and one rainbow/steelhead in the mix. Two browns hit esmerelda bayrat so added a second to the spread and got the 3rd. My first mate is learning quite a bit with it only being our 2nd trip up to Ontario. He's netting, taking planers off, and steering the boat when theres a big one on. Life is good besides the trailer problem right as I pulled in the driveway. Anyone got trailer expertise?

    Gave a call to Hughes to see if they're open to launching but no answer. Anyone know if they have closed the launch or if its still open with all this craziness?

    The dock was not in at the south end as of last saturday. Maybe someone else has been there between now and then?
  18. troutman10
    Curious to know what your water temp was.

    Does anyone use bead chain for connecting mainline to leader when trolling spring browns? Are there specific times to use beadchain vs a simple ball bearing swivel?
  20. troutman10
    Itching to get back out there!
  21. troutman10
    Maybe a silly question but just wondering how everyone stores their rods between fishing outings. Do you leave them rigged in a safe place so no one gets hooked or dissasemble to an extent? To what extent do ppl dissasemble and when do you re-rig? New leaders/swivels etc?
  22. troutman10
    Congrats! Would that bayrat happen to be Esmerelda? Black back and green belly? If so, just bought a couple.

    So I guess instead of using the boat at a launch on Canandaigua this weekend with the family, we will fish the Canandaigua city pier where anyone and everyone will be strolling by. Theres no way this can even be enforced alot of places in our state. What If I had a boat docked on personal property? I wouldnt need a boat launch in that situation. Can I still use it?

    First time out fishing Lake Ontario browns for my boy and I. Ended up 5 of 6. Had a great time with him out there. Fish hit Rapala F-11 gold and silver sticks as well as a Bay Rat filthy pouch. Water was 45/46 degrees. All bites between 10-15 fow. Trolled 1.75-2 mph.

    My 8 yo boy and I are chomping at the bit to try some lake o trolling for browns very soon. Boat is out of storage and just about ready to go. I've fished a good amount in the bays on eastern lake o where theres protection from the main lake. I'm a little nervous about going out on the main lake for the first time or driving up and not being able to go. Hoping to make it a good first experience for him and I. Do you guys have any wind recommendations or suggestions on what to look for with the weather? I have a 17 ft starcraft with 90 hp motor. The launches I would most likely use are Hughes and Sodus. Was even thinking of going tomorrow morning. Any help is appreciated.
