Holy smokes there's that many sculpins living that deep? How big are they?

Do you guys have any more photos of the levels and damage? Us Erie folk are concerned for ya but morbidly curious too.

You should be good with the 8 hp HT. I'll second the Adventure Marine bracket, great product. 25" shaft length is preferrable but 20" works just fine if mounted properly. Although smaller my boat weighs 5-6K rigged for battle. The 9.9 does fine.

That laker looks giant in the live well! Scale might be off a bit. Great fish and I am not fond of lakers.

Black/silver with slash of glow tape over holographic tape on the black side. NK name unknown but big fish love it.

Lake settled down in the evening, trolled bar to olcott finally found that batch of bait around 220 and stayed near it. Took three total, two smaller and one teene. Got the teenere on a fresh whole alewife that was rigged clean after being snagged on a spoon, he he. Deep fish 169-155 foot of cable took fish and a flasher fly down 80.

I'm desperate enough to troll up a few smallies inside before staring at rods again this pm.

Yesterday & today have been terrible, and like Johnny Cash I've been everywhere looking for them.

It was lousy for me again this am, fished the Somerset area inside & out. Nada.

285-305 fow off Olcott this evening put out a 19.5 lb. King, a 6 lb. King, a laker and a couple shaker. Sushi fly green crinkle live series A-Tom-Mic out 230 on the major. Fished into dark Kings were surfacing but not feeding. Kings are hanging 200-150 and feeding up high occasionally.

Took a 19, 13 and a fat coho 370 fow off the bar this am rigger spoon bite 45-55 down NBK. One smallish king off Wilson in the early am spinny sushi fly. Couple of dinks and avsteelie mixed in.

Fished off the Bar this morning 300 fow to the drop running the border. 4 small kings, slob steelie and two lakers. Ran offshore lost a mid twenty king behind the boat. One other small king out deep (395). Lake was settling down nicely temp-wise. 65-72 surface 44 down 50 offshore. Big king took a black/silver/glow nk 45 down. Almost everything else was spinny and fly.

Kings were off the bite with the rolled lake, fished 425 fow off Olcott this morning, trolled home to Wilson in the late morning into the fog bank. 4-5 little kings and a steelie. Surface temps out deep were 60, 45-50 inshore.

49-55 degree surface temps this afternoon 250-80 fow off Wilson. Hooked a few, it was slow. Lake rolled hard.

Thanks might have skipped that one by, uh, being lazy. Will do!

Thanks again some patience with the right knife did the trick.

Roger thanks I'll take a sharp stout blade to it. Via con dios.

Aye!

I'm replacing power cables on two old cannon riggers. I pulled screws but the cover is still firmly attached. Anyone have some sage advice before I go caveman on the problem?
