  1. Welcome aboard... Congrats on ur first King...The fealing is AWESOME and lasts a lifetime... Gotta love them Divers...I like to flash mine with a Spin Doctor and blue or green flies or spoons... Outta four different setups, divers wins, hands down... Will
  2. Thanx....If you go a bit farther east to launch and then head out at app. 200 degrees drop ur rigs in about 130 FOW and keep the 200 degree heading, you should start hitting them around 140 FOW. We were runnin between 2.5 and 2.9 mph. Our best luck was on the Dipsy with a flasher and a blue or green fly or hoochie. They seem to be hitting no deeper than 50'.. Good Luck and Tight Lines Will
  3. Well, my friend Capt. skoots called me up and asked if I would like to go King hunting again... Me being the fish enthusiast with Kingitus(thanx skoot) gladly accepted.. We launched out of Oakville a bit earlier this time. It was 5:05 a.m. when engined fired and we were heading out to sea...LOL We hit the magical number of 100 FOW and as before, skoots handed me the wheel and proceeded to rig up.. All lines in the water and we started markin nice hooks at 137 FOW.. So all eyes are on the tips as we come upon a nice school of bait fish. We could tell by the way they were formed they were being chased and then at 145 FOW WHAM!!!!!! The diver rig on the port side starts rockin like she wants to take rig and all. skoots grabs the rod and sets the hook and then hands her to me.. He is a good Capt. and while I faught this hog he was clearing the way. I could tell by the weight that she was a big sow... Well she surfaced about 100 ft back and then charged the boat... Capt. is reminding me to keep her tight and I am screaming the wire line back to the reel as fast as I can. As I ease back to put more tension on.....TWOING!!!! The whole set up comes flying back towards the boat and she turns and kicks tail, goodbye... Determined to hunt her down, Capt. turns us around and we setup and cruise right throught the waypointed same exact spot.. The hooks appeared again and the baitfish were still there so we both looked at each other and just grinned.. Just as we pasted over the exact spot as marked.... WHAM!!!!!!! Same rod with the same rig fires HARD.... Skoots grabs her, pumps a couple times and she is set and sceaming off wire. That's when he hands me the rod and says, " she's all urs Willy "... Well as I waiting for the screamin to stop I am thinking..."You are NOT spitting me this time sweetheart" And she faught like a champ with killer head throws and a few good screamers... Now this is what I like to call...Having Fun... She was finally tiring and I slowly brought her right up to the plate and she had no resistance as skoots scooped her up and leaned her into the boat.... WHEW!!!! That was so much fun we had to try it again. So we set back up again and went right through the same spot and skoots took his turn at landing a smaller one. We tried that spot one more time and they were gone... No hooks at all and no baitfish... So we decide to run downstream a bit towards TO. as we were turning around to head back, Capt. wanted to try a bit shallower so we headed into 100 FOW... Well, just as we hit 100 FOW, we didn't mark anything but the diver went off again and skooter boated his second for the day... For me it was a Great day at 3 for 6.... Getting better every day skoots.. Thanx again.. Will
  4. Well I should start off by saying that I have a 15'5 starcraft with a 55 evinrude and NO trolling tackle. A couple weeks ago I purchased a sonar unit from Kijjiji and drove up to Brantford to pick it up. There I met a nice skipper who is strictly a troller. so we traded fish stories. Me on my Nippising and Erie adventures and he on his Ontario and Quinte excursions. He showed me his rig and is he set up...Had this shallow water under 10lb capt. salivating over his equip. Any way, he politely asks if I am interested in going out for some fresh water sharks...Well, as you can imagine my eyes lit up and my mouth dropped and I eagerly accepted. So I purchased the fishfinder and went home daydreaming the whole way.. So Thursday I check my email and there he is asking me if I was in for a sail on Sat. morning...Excitedly I accept and we meet at Oakville launch at 5;00 am this morning... We launch and start heading SW toward the west shore. At about 100 FOW he asks me to take the wheel while he sets us up...The tension builds as we start markin' hooks and lots of them at around 130'FOW. They were ranging from 40 to the bottom....As I held course and we reached about 145FOW I glanced back and noticed at the same time as Scooter did that the starboard side dipsy diver was dancin hard....Well, as you can imagine we both yelled " FISH ON " and he was on the tailin rod like lightning. by the time I was off my seat he was handing me the rod...She put up a nice fight and was a bit of a head shaker as I cautiously persuaded her in. The stories of many being lost was ringin through my head as the line was getting closer to the boat. As the diver rose out of the water, I stepped back and smoothly guided my FIRST EVER SALMON (Coho) into the waiting net..... Wheew!!!! What a rush... I was like a kid who justy got a new bike....I was texting my wife the good news and she said she could tell just from my texting I was excited...She was under under 10 lb my usual...LOL But she was still my FIRST catch of the year so I feel blessed and as this is just the beginning, I am looking forward to this season... We were runnin all depths from 40' to 10' off the bottom and half plugs and half spoons. She fired on a chartruesse/black spotted spoon on a diver approx. 50' down.... As I am not up on the tackle used I apologize for the laim description....I am just a small timer who just got his feet wet in an awesome way... tight lines y'all Will
  5. Hey y'all I am proud to be a part of the LOU... I am mainly a walleye hunter but have been turned on to the freshwater sharks and can not wait till tomorrow morning for my first west shore outing with a new friend. I will hopefully have pics and maybe even a short video... My walter vessel is a 15'5" early '70's Starcraft w/'79 55 Evi... Thank you and Happy trollin' Will
