    Went out of bald eagle; fished 3-5:30pm; fished 110 to 175 ft of water. 3 Dipsy rods and 2 snap weight:rods; 2 Dipsy out 150 to 190 on 2.5 setting with NBK and seasick waddles spoons; one mag dipsy out 120 with sliver flasher and green fly. One snap 6oz snap weight and one 12oz snap weight orange spoon on 6oz and blue dolphin spoon on 12oz rod; caught 1 steelhead on 6oz snap weight rod; caught nice king on flasher fly and 1 smaller king on NBK diver rod. Also swam by Hamlin park in shallow area before fishing. Water was cold but refreshing.

    Ended up launching at oak orchard since public docks partially submerged at sandy creek. Went 3 for 5 all kings. Fished 75ft -125 ft water depth at 20 - 60 ft down. Should have worked the fish harder rather than moving on searching for new pods. Also, I think I am done with using snubbers or the rip cord things. They must get dry rot easily. I have heard a lot of people that say snubbers and similar are not needed if drag is set right.

    Public launch dock partially submerged.

    Hopefully public DEC docks are not submerged.

    Similar results. Went out of sodus. 8 for 8 total. 1 was 21 lbs and a steelhead about 8 lbs. The rest were small. Fished mostly 450-600 feet of water. Lines set from 50-80 down. Ran 4 wire divers and 2 snap weight lines. NBK spoon was hot. No hits on flasher fly. Most fish taken before 11:30. One of them was taken in about 200 fow 60 ft down. Hope this is helpful.

    Are the gates open and docks in at Oak Orchard State Park Marina on Archbald? Thanks!

    I received 2 new daiwa saltist. Holy sh…t! What a difference in quality right out of the box. I am looking forward to using them. Hopefully they perform as well as I am expecting!

    Thank you all for your feedback. The reels have been good to me. I have had them for ten years. I bought them originally for lakers on finger lakes when I lived in horseheads. They have served me well the last 4-5 years since I have lived in Rochester. I have already ordered Daiwa saltist to replace. I will take apart the Magda as a learning experience and/or have Brian take a look to see if the Magda is a quick fix to be kept as a backup. At the end of the day, it is time to upgrade my reels to my level of experience. The Magdas did what they were intended for as an introduction to this fun, addictive, and expensive sport. Thanks again to those that responded.

    My okuma Magda pro 30 has zero resistance for drag. The reel is about 10 years old. Is the fix likely just changing the drag washers? Or other fix needed? Hopefully I provided enough info to describe problem.
