I was detained in newfoundland for 6 hours by canadian customs. Threatened fines, cuffs, etc. I was there legally!

I think that was saw dust from Ray's new woodworking project - he decided to make a new boat "the coffin"

lol

I love this

Where are you located?!

That's because Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.

Going to give this a try...

What keeps you from simply half-hitching a rubber band (similar to a fixed slider) to a shower curtain ring?

Yeah, no fishing team when i was there either....

Great catch though!

what are we asking for as far as a defense system for lake ontario? Another electronic barrier? nets?

Thaty'll do it.

Thanks Tim!

nice!

That would mean that keith will get into speedo shape and I will not go for that.lol I on the other hand shouldn't have a problem in a speedo.

Scott, would you really want to be Oogled by some of these guys all day?

Oh snap....

jk jk

I have not been successful at all using my Dipsy presentations. I have run the standard Dipsy/flasher/fly as well as dipsy/spoon as a last resort. It seems like there is a variation in what people are using for leader lengths. Here is what I have been using:

Dipsy to SD: 24" 30Lb braid

SD to fly: 16-20" Flouro (the A-TOM-MIK fly I bought from Jay-Vee only had a 16" leader on it - so less when you tie a knot. do people blood-knot these to make them longer?)

Dipsy to Spoon: 36" 30lb big game

Do people run flasher/spoons off of a dipsy?

Thanks,

Matt

Great job on the fish guys, sorry to hear about the glass shatter Jason.

Well, Got them made today... just need a coat or two or five of paint...

By the way, the plans that are posted LOTSA are in fact the ones with the mistake. You may be able to see the front holes that are misaligned on each one.

No big deal, the washer covers the mistake

Also have plans for my home made mast... will update later

I have got to say that over the past month I have learned a whole lot by just going thru all of the topics in this sub-forum (questions about salmon trolling) one by one. Then expand to other sub forums. You'll find that guys like ray k and many others are more than willing to share their experience and expand on any individual topic. Including non fishing topics like the link between boot camp and bowel movements.

I have had good personal experience at the following:

Gander Mountain

Jay-Vee up on norton

Mitchels on Lake Ave

I'm thinking about entering just to have the opportunity to meet some more of you guys - Who knows, maybe my fishing program will be more attractive to the fish by then- haha.

One question:

If the weather is too rough both days for a smaller boat like mine, and I have paid the entry fee, would fishing in sandy or from shore count?

Weather like Sunday is probably the limit i'd take her out in - even though there was no small craft advisory.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks Tim. I'm going to try and make a set of these at my buddies workshop this week.

Ed,

Really sorry to hear about all that happening at once. Thanks for the info, and I hope it works out next time!

Not sure if this is going to work but here's a copy of the corrected plans and actually there were two mistakes in the original plans.

Does anyone have an updated link to the corrected plans?

Our electronics showed a pretty consistant speed graph, we got all of our strikes at speeds of 3.0+ yesterday. I have never used a trolling plate, but I hear really good things about the bags.

We ended up heading in around 11 because one of the people we went out with was hurling a lot and it was getting rather rough.

I'll be heading up on the 20th of this month. If you go across the lake from the launch along that shore line tight (it's deep in close) baitfish always seem to stack up along there. The park guy told me one year most people troll n-s , s-n. That a e-w troll will work out better , seemed to at time for me. That area is like a big basin so you can easlier do that type troll pattern. Remember smelt is the main bait fish so thin profile lures work better. The diver is a good idea get it away from the boat , also long leads off the rigger. lil'boyblue fly , dodger (yellow/green) with a (same color/ or glow) peanut behind it. Small spoons ( they use a lot of moosloc wobblier up there ) I have got them on stinger size also. As your going down the lake to Hauge on your left is two large rocks work that area hold bait as well. Farther south will be some bouys on your right stay to the left of them a shelf come up REEL fast. I hooked bottom in that spot with the deepest down 40' then it came straight up.

Have fun and take some pictures it's a great area............don't forget the ICECREAM store up the road.

P.S. you also have to buy a boat permit for lake george.

How did you make out when you were up there, ERABBIT?

I fish out of a 17.5' open bow Deep V powered by a 70hp OB. There is not nearly enough room to fish properly out of for more than 3 people, but it is a great boat for what it is. Without any trolling bags or kicker, etc. I can get down to 1.9, and with a slight tap on the throttle, the next step is 2.5, then 3.0. I'm actually very impressed with the way it is trolling in spite of its size, etc. How about you?
