Hookedup

Got to be just a knot/line issue, I run fluoro on everything. From 10 pounds to 50. I had my first fish of the year break off on Ontario a couple weeks ago and that was on a 300 copper with a big church board that got dragged under with the drag set to tight. I never have a knot failure unless I let someone else tie them LOL. I run 10 to 15 for spoons on Finger lakes primarily 12lb then 12 to 20 up north. I've caught some big kings on 12 lb fluorocarbon rigger rods. I think it makes a difference in just the minimum amount of line stretch you get from fluorocarbon. You could bungee jump with 30 or 40 pound mono, which is why I always put ten ft of 40 pound mono between my core/copper and the backing. Sean

Yeah check 120 then I'd hit the 150 range

Looks like Saturday will be the only day of the weekend to get out with the waves predicted for Sunday. I was out of Sodus yesterday fishing was some of the toughest I've had all year. Put five in the boat and lost two. At first we had 44 to 45 deg water down 110. Fish were stacked on bottom in 110 to 130. Then the west then North West wind turned that 110 ft water to 70 deg water fast. Start in that range work out to 180, flashers and fly's down 100 to 140 and spoons in same range did all our fish. Did have one great fish on a 400 copper but that was the only fish on copper or core. Took a brown down 140 over 200 that was a surprise LOL. Good luck let us know how you do. Sean

Great job Mike and Nick! Love those fly's

Not lake Ontario related but I figured someone on here could recommend a good guide for early September fishing out of the Portland area or Massachusetts. Would like to put a trip together for inshore or offshore fishing. Thanks Sean

If you wanna go west of Seneca go to lake Ontario. Or go catch one pound Lakers all day at Keuka.

Two liter bottle, put some duct tape on it to hold start of copper/leader then your drill in the spout. Wind it on nice and clean tape tab end and stack it on a shelf. Sean

Tried flashers and fly's, as well as meat. No go on those so dropped couple spoons down to 135 in 140 and that did the trick. Now yesterday it was all a flashers fly bite.

Wasn't just you we hit Fair Haven on the 4th due to no parking in Sodus. Finally pulled three good kings off the bottom in 140 FOW. But that's it no marks but the few on the bottom and no bait the entire day. Water was warm no matter how deep you got. West was the place to be, hopefully some more fish and bait will move into the Sodus to Fair Haven area soon.

Bows and Browns this time of year require two different programs. Your big browns will be in where the T-Cline meets the bottom probably around 60ft down. Bows are suspended out mid lake over bait or just under it in 56 deg water. I got a few spots where I can pound them this time of year. If you are fishing deep for Lakers say 120 down park your Laker rigs there and run a fixed slider with a good Bow spoon at 60. Then put your other riggers at the T Cline with spoons back at least 60ft. 250 copper 12 color core will do it to but you will kill them in this warm water reeling them in. Sean

Hell of a deal for someone this boat is in better than new condition.

Have fun its beautiful out
