    Look for a Ruff Rider posting for real time information.  I have not been out since last Saturday night.  I did speak with a Captain yesterday while I was doing some work on my boat.  He was going out yesterday from Sodus targeting east of the channel in 300+ fow.  He received guidance from a Captain buddy that temperature was very deep, down 130 feet.  If you don't get any better guidance, go straight out the channel and look for the big boats out on the horizon and go there.  If you have a temp probe, set a flasher/fly or meat rig at 50 degrees and others targeting 50 to 54 degrees.  If no probe, target 120 to 150 down.  Run dipsey with flasher/fly or meat.  I like running black/glow lures down deep, but that is all guess work there.  Good luck.

    Sodus Desert - Night Bite

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

    Posted

    Went out Tues 8/2 for a night bite (5pm to sunset).  Ran 2 steel dipseys with Spin Drs flies, varied depths.  Riggers from 30 to 120 ft with flasher/meat and numerous spoons.  Started troll at 100 fow..no bait, hooks or activity.  40 degrees at 30 ft.  Knew that was going to be trouble.  Trolled north to 250 fow.  Still no bait, hooks or activity.  44 degrees at 30 ft.  Trolled back to 50 ft....still nothing, same temp.  Pulled.  First night bite skunking. Nice night for a boat ride.   Heard the same on Wed 8/3 out of Sodus.

    yes that was the hairy bee that gave the info i was on board glad we could help your daughter get her first salmon.

    Much appreciated! Thank you very much! It was a great evening for fishing. It's so cool to see women and kids catch fish, especially salmon. They follow your guidance and do it right the first time. Unlike some guys who just want to muscle them in. My daughter did great and she also cleared all the lines and downriggers when I caught my laker that thought it was a king[emoji2] [emoji2].

    I am guessing that 30'foot powder blue boat was the Harry Bee, piloted by Andy.... both he and his first mate SAM are known for screaming at people. LMAO[emoji2]

    and yes they are extremely helpful to anyone working the waters out there.... if you have a Marine Radio, we are always on.... mostly 16....

    I'm glad they did. Thanks for that info. I'll call them next times I am out to thank them[emoji41]

    Fished Sodus waters 5-9:00 pm.  2 for 5.  West out of channel.  My daughter caught her first King!!  18 lbs off rigger down 126 ft over 122 ft.  She now knows why they call them KINGS!  Blisters and arm cramps.  Glow & black spin doctor with blue fly, back 18 ft off ball.  Had 49 degrees down 120 ft with slight current, running 2.5 - 2.7 mph speed at lure.  Marked lots of bait near and on bottom, many pods with marks.  I caught a 22 lb Laker off the steel dipsy set on #2, counter of 333 in 133 fow.  Glow & green spin doctor with green fly.  I never had a Laker do this, but it screamed out to 550 on the counter and fought and took numerous short runs all the way back to the boat.  I was expecting a King at the net, but was totally surprised with it being a Laker...wow!  Both fish were revived and released for another day of work.

     

    Thank You to a big powder-blue 30 foot fishing boat exiting the channel into the bay.  One of the guys yelled towards me, 130 foot, 130 foot!  That's what I did and it turned out to be just the right real-time scouting report.  I was planning to start out in 300 fow.  Appreciate that non-solicited communication, who ever you are!

    Humminbird 800 Series - Do You Like 'em?

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    Hi - I am looking for real trout/salmon trolling application feedback with the Humminbird 898C SI.

    Is side imaging useful for trolling in shallow/deep water?

    Is down imaging useful for trolling?

    does it pickup downriggers ok?

    Will it detect & show the thermocline?

    Surface temp work good?

    Does GPS navigating back to the spot where the hooks were work easily?

    Any issues or problems & suggestions?

    Thank you for any help you provide.

    Proos Downrigger (1985) Motor Information Request

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    I have 2 1985 Proos downriggers with tired motors. I am looking for motors to replace them. I have heard that they are standard Mopar (Chrysler) windshield wiper motors, but I want to be sure before I begin chasing this.

    I am looking for help to any information on a website that I can go look at either to locate & buy used motors, information on how to find used motors, are Mopar motors the ticket & is there a model number to reference them, etc. If you have any information you can provide me, I would be very grateful.

    Thanks.
