So last year I bought a 21 foot crestliner commander thinking I would be able to fish Ontario anytime I want . Well surprise not so much . Its uncomfortable in 3 footers . Especially with two kids . Its fishable just not so fun . I would like to get more use out of the boat and start trolling oneida. I am just wondering how I need to approach that. What tackle do I need and where do I fish. I pretty much have everything imaginable to Target all species but any help would be awesome. I figured getting my two young Sons on some walleyes would keep their interest and sometimes they get bored with the on and off days on Lake Ontario. Also Oneida is a much more feasible and comfortable day trip for us. Thanks to all Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Can someone please tell me what is comfortably fishable out of Oswego . I know a south wind is good to go . I have a 21 foot crestliner commander. It handles water well but gets pushed around easy . I will always have my two young sons with me as well . I feel like I wasted a day today by watching the wind forecast. West a 6 mph at 10 am today . I'm a weekend warrior with a boat payment I need to feel good about. So I need to make as many trips as possible. Got beat up pretty good out of Sodius point last month on a west wind . Kid barfing over the side . Lol thanks to all . I don't trust the noaa forecast it always seems wrong Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Any reports from Oswego would be awesome. It's my home port but have not fished there yet this year due to closure and harbor fest. Thanks Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Where can I get it in Oswego. I didn't realize how quickly atommik sells out of his . I won't make that mistake again . Thanks.to all Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Is it open yet and can you launch there still . Thanks to all Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

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

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

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.
