    No wake

    Sad to see Sodus Point and Arney’s under water again. Has a lawsuit started yet?

    Underwater footage looks no different than standard jig.

    More three year old kings tested the knot this weekend. This time with the additional weight of inline planer boards attached.

    Great hero shot. Looks like you caught some 4 year olds in the mix.

    Nice day on the water with family making memories

    Rollmops is right, you still have to keep an eye to the sky and your cell phone radar. Look at todays’s olcott buoy data shows how things can turn bad fast when systems blow thru. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=olcn6

    Brother.....that’s as good as it gets in Oswego

    It has happened to me also. Bearing buddies, trolling motor, stainless screws out of transom, fuel filter. All have happened during a LOC event.

    Cheaper to take Dr Weidel out for kings and grill him while he is reeling in fish.

    Kings biting.
  11. Gill-T
    Perfect.

    I have tried to convince Dr Weidel the Kaho needs riggers.

    Yes, the 500 lb Spectra gives me the piece of mind that if my board marries to another, I will win the tug of war hehe.

    Amish outfitter spectra line is white.

    30’ of mono before leader. Attach diver 1-2’ onto leader. If you are going for stealth then go stealthily ie long leads.

    Pull it towards you about 4 strips and let the towline go. The dead stopped board will usually shed the branch.

    The summerset plant is no longer generating energy, but it sure has been pumping out Kings!! My GPS tracks near the area look as if Justice Barr got out his redaction marker.

    I looked into that technique also but didn’t know hollow core size to use, more expense etc. I am sure the knots for this line will be evolving.

    Glad you found it. Good thing coyotes don’t eat antler. I lost a doe this fall that I 10 ringed with a perfect shot. The neighbor found her 500 yards away. Arrow must have found a gap between vital organs and did not cut enough. You do this long enough it will happen

    It’s tricky and will take multiple tries until it lays right. The modified Albright works great on my wire slide divers but the weighted steel line is stiff causing the folded end to have too much memory to hold the connection long term IMO.
  21. Gill-T
    Right, now try to have that loop pass in and out of your guides smoothly.
  22. Gill-T
    A small section of braid tied into the wire then braid to mono.

    Another large tree reeled in and multiple three year old kings taken on rig. The knots really got tested on a tail-hooked 14 lber that took 20 minutes to reel in and a rampaging 20 lber. Confidence in the knot is growing.

    If you have three aboard, two junk lines on planer boards, two divers and two riggers. Depending on time of year and depth of fish, the junk lines can be anything from flatlines to split shot rigs to keel weights to leadcore to copper. The divers could be anything from mini disks, to size 0 divers to standard divers to mag divers (including slide divers). Two riggers could be any combination of spoons, flashers and flies or flashers and meat. As others have mentioned, depends on time of year, water temp, species targeting, time of day, weather etc etc. Endless combinations to keep us from getting bored. NOT bobber and worm fishing.

    The local kids in Olcott run on them.
