    SCS, Team Triple S

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    First off a huge thank you to the boys for putting on another outstanding tournament. I've been apart of it from the start and its already penciled in for next year.

    Pre fished Fri. Night and knew where NOT to go!!! 5 hours in the water and never moved a rod.

    The weeks before the SCS told me where I needed to be and they where still there.

    The memories will last forever, read "Rigged SCS" for the whole run down.

    When you get a quad on majors and land them all it going to be a special trip!

    Finished 2nd place and also finished 2nd in the LOC with a #27.15 kung that came from the same waters !

    Rigged @ SCS

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted · Edited by Lund SSS

    No pro here, just a weekend warrior who's put in his time. The weeks leading up to SCS produced plenty of good fish a brown @ #14.12 a king weighing #23.7 and the second place LOC fish @ 27.15.

      The location well.... everyone who boxed out on kings was there and they were hungry. Our start was a #12 king that was not going to help us in any way 7:15 AM and still not any thing to speak of.

      At 8:30 the port rigger 95' down with a mag Finger Lakes KOS fires, my partner in crime Bob grabs the rod ...and were off, 450' disappears in seconds and he turns to me and says " we get another fish and were screwed".... no sooner than the word come from his mouth the wire dipsey mag out 180' get TANKED !!!!  I guess were screwed than because it's happening now.

     As I'm fighting the wire fish and he's on the rigger the starboard rigger down 100' releases with a Carbon 14 on it, I throw the wire in the Bert's and set the hook on the other rod, now there's 3 kings on and the chaos is getting a bit stress full.

     Bob's fish is almost at the boat a I'm the net man, mind you there's still 2 other king peeling line on a wire and the rigger I've put in the rod holder on the cannon. As I net the first fish and wrestle a #23 on board the fourth rod, another wire out 200' takes off on a rip that's got it folded to the cork. "your not done, take this..." handing him the 4th king to hit in 10 minutes. I grab the 2nd rod and wrench her home to see another #20 plus fish on the floor.

     There's still 2 more to fight and were both running on adrenaline, I get the rigger and he's on the wire when they cross paths, convinced the mono fish is going to cut off I make a split second dive under him and my 50/50 shot at picking under proves true, there clear and now we can work on landing the last 2.

     The smoke clears ALL 4 fish on my first QUAD have hit the bottom of the boat. In 30 minutes of total pandemonium we have just placed # 83.61 of king on the bottom of the Lund.  2nd in the SCS & the 2nd in the LOC, 18th place brown

      My loving wife tells me to keep it up....$$$$ ( no Gambler, you can't have my horse shoe just yet)  the fall derby could be REAL fun ???

    4 blade vs. 3 blade prop.

    in This Old Boat

    Well this is a field I have plenty of experience. First off changing from a 3 blade to a 4 blade will not get you more speed. 4 blades were designed for the hole shot and control while sacrificing some top end. The 3 blade is a bit less control but more top end. I have 2 Evinrude E tec's and played with props to get them dialed in with speed versus rpm's. This is gonna be based on diameter of the prop, pitch and how much cup is in each blade. I only run stainless props cause they don't flex like aluminum so you will get a true gauge as to what your motor can handle. With my Evinrude's I also run 2 Mercury Props in a 19pitch which gives me the best top end, control and keeps my rpm's right at the comfort level of the motors. My boat will run 48 mph fully loaded with 4 people and the boat is 25'. I would try a stainless prop and see what the manufacturer recommends or ask a prop shop what they would start with. I went through 3 sets before getting them dialed in.

    I'd like to rebut your statement, I've got a 2009 150 HO on my Lund Pro V Se and I changed from a 3 blade to a 4 blade. I gain both speed and hole shot. Having gone from a 21" 3 blade Ballistic to a 4 blade OMC renegade I couldn't be happier.

    funny you ask, just went through my bag this afternoon and realize that of the 1000 or so spoons I have on the boat a simple silver/green NK 28 and an old Pirate Mag spoon in "spook" have taking countless fish. Black and glow ladderback @ first light is a real winner.  Now I run Moonshine "Carbon 14" in the pre-dawn hours and after the sun is up a 8" green spindoc with a green crinkle Atomic fly. 

    can I have a reliable dock and boat lift installed on lake ontario

    the only way to even try a launch on Lake Ontario is to install a rail system and be able to pull the boat up and away from the possibility of 12'-15' waves. No thats not a joke. I've seen NW rollers break over the walls @ the Oak, Genesee, and Sodus. Over towards Oswego they get many storms that build bigger. 

    Can your boat hoist lift the pontoon boat 14' off the water............ probably why there's no docks east or west of you
