I believe I seen you today. You were launching your boat as I was pulling mine. If you have Green Hornet on the side of your boat and you were launching around 1pm. I should have introduced myself as I have seen your posts of on here a few times Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Fairhaven
fishinfreak replied to steelfire's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
I finally got the new boat out on Lake Ontario. I never fished Fairhaven before but decided to try because of Harbor fest . I got schooled today. Have not been skunked in years on the old boat . Yes I threw everything I had at them other than cut bait because I did not have that. I did get a late start and apparently was fishing out in to deep of water. I guess you win some and lose some. I took one hit on the rigger and 1 rip on a dipsy nobody home. Apparently early action was in 160 to 180 Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Line twisting around downrigger cable.
fishinfreak replied to fishinfreak's topic in Open Lake Discussion
If you are referring to the directions for my Fishhawk. Then yes I did read the directions. It actually states that the double swivel is only rated for 12 lb. So when I called Fishhawk they recommend using snubber with anything that heavier. I am running 16 pound shark weights. Other than that I'm not sure what directions you are referring to Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Line twisting around downrigger cable.
fishinfreak replied to fishinfreak's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Thanks to all again. So how does adding another swivel stop the issue of it going down too fast. It seems to me it's going down so fast with the short lead off the ball that the line then becomes parallel with the cable. I believe that is when my tangle is happening. I'm running Scotty snubbers and no Breakaway cable on the prob rigger . It is very annoying I never had this issue with my original mag 10s Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

fishinfreak replied to fishinfreak's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Thank you to all that is where I thought it was. What's the point in having a high-speed rigor when you can't drop it with the switch. Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
So I am using blacks releases. I have been downrigger fishing for 15 years. So I know how to attach to the release. In two of the last three trips my line has been twisted around the cable and would not ever realise if a fish hit . The only thing different is I have a new boat and have upgraded my downriggers to the high-speed STX mag tens. Is something happening when the downrigger ball goes down so fast. Or is it just a coincidence Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm going to use my first ever copper rig this weekend. It's a three hundred footer and I'm going to get another one to match for the other side of the boat. I'm going to be running it off my big boards with some Scotty power Plus releases. Do I need to deploy the copper first before my Dipsy or can I run it right over top of my Dipsy.

I love my new 2050 commander. Super deep and nice toe kicks for leaning over the boat . Lots of storage and not one piece of plastic on the boat . The only piece of plastic is the wash down cover and housing. Everything is all welded Dash windshield glove compartment everything is all metal. Should last me the rest of my life Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Is the launch really open at your own risk . Also is there any idea when it will reopen . I have to get the new boat out and get some kings for the kids . Thanks Sent from my SM-J327V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
