Pretty sure it was called ‘Later Gator’ - can just add a glow ladderback to a regular Gator if you can’t find it and need to make one. Came in silver cup and glow cup versions.

That sucks unfortunately - I have taken my digital scale to multiple fish we have weighed in for the LOC - after weighing the fish on the LOC scales I immediately weigh it on my digital scale and I know that my scale weighs about .1 to .15 pounds lower over a range of weights....just a good data point that helps me make the decision as to whether I am pulling lines and running in or not.

The fish in Naples Creek aren't stocked - they are indeed in that creek to spawn. The rotary club down there has held that derby for probably 60 years at least.

I have purchased from this member recently - no issues smooth transaction!

We fished again yesterday morning out of Oswego - went out with a couple of my fishing buddies for some fun fishing for stagers. Left the dock at 6am and ran out a touch east and set down in 130 fow to check temps to see how swampy it was. 120 feet down found 52 degrees so knew we would be OK - area was loaded with fish so we set up right there and started pushing east. Hard south wind made the troll tough - very crabbed out going east/west but decided to give that a shot. Took one quick shot on a 500 copper but missed. A couple minutes later it went again - Hammertime chip with an A-TOM-MIK K41 fly. 16 pound king. Missed on a rigger a few minutes later. Decided to turn and troll back west wondering if it was directional - same rigger we missed on fired 15 minutes later - 23 pound king - that rigger was fishing in 60 degree water. Custom white paddle with another Kevin 41. Trolled back through a bunch of fish without a touch and decided that we could get a better direction going North/South - wasn't sure what the screen would look like but made the turn out to see. Fished 125 out to 350 for the next few hours. Did a few bites each pass with a couple of doubles but overall a steady pick with rods moving well all morning. Called it quits around noon. Amassed a total of 16 fish we fought for the morning and scooped 10. Had a few more misses - quick on/off before we got to a diver or rod that never made it out of the holder. Landed 4 nice coho and the rest kings. Lost a couple good ones as well. Had a meat rod in the water for a bit but changed that out for a fly later as it wasn't taking any bites and fished seemed to be very neutral toward it on the panoptics. Made some small tweaks to the spread and got things going better. 500 coppers, Riggers out 115-135 feet of cable and a pair of wire divers on 20# wire. Saw very few fish above 100 feet down on the graph. Most fish seemed to be hanging between 110-125 feet down in the upper 50 degree water. Ran a 5 rod spread which consisted of a chute copper, 2 divers on a 2 setting with 20# wire, and 2 corner riggers. Left the center rigger out of the water which is my high rigger. Didn't want to crowd the zone - paid off as we seemed to do better than most of the guys who were out yesterday that we talked to. Best flies - A-Tom-Mik OG Hammer (T102), Crinkle Green (T023), Mirage (T097) and Kevin 41 (K041) took most of our fish. I think we had one bite on a Stud fly early as well...Fishing is good if you can get out. Definitely winding down...

We plan to be out tomorrow morning - will post a report - leaving out of Oswego.

We fished Saturday evening out of Oswego between the plant and 5 stacks and had a decent evening. 15 bites and scooped 10. No coho all kings. Couple good ones and a bunch of average ones. Decent screen - not loaded but definitely fishable.

Fished last night to the east. Left the dock around 12:30 but needed fuel and a pump out - started setting rods around 1:15pm. 110 to 140 fow. Had 52 degrees down around 100 feet - most fish were between 52 to 60 degree water. Did around 15 bites and slid the hoop under 10. Pulled rods at 6:45pm. Didn't fish today but west wind started blowing - that's going to eliminate that cold sliver of water at the bottom of the column for sure. Heard guys were running 135-155 feet of rigger cable this morning fishing a touch deeper to get to fish for the time they were out. No Coho for us last night but a lot of nice adult kings. 3 riggers, 2 divers, and a chute copper for us last night. High rigger with a plug never took a bite although we saw a few fish up there. Meat on a deep rigger which took a couple bites and the rest of the rods were fishing flies. Best flies last night - A-Tom-Mik Big Fin Glow when it got a little brighter otherwise A-Tom-Mik Glow Studs and K41's took most of the rest of the bites.
