Top Secret
I do believe I saw you out there ? We had the riggers set at 50 amd 60 so the stack went from
60- 50- 45- 40 We could see the thermocline setting up at about 50 ft. Wednesday we went
9 for 12 so we were set up right I ran long leads and did not change anything ?
Boats name low profile [Bayliner 24 foot hardtop]

We got an extra early start [5am] expecting to find the fish where we left then on
Wednesday, the weather was a complete shift and with a fresh west wind building
the lake became rather bumpy and by 8;30 we called it . Not a single release! small pods of bait
was around 125 FOW not a single hook [fish] around them. I suspect that with that full moon
the fish gouged on bait last night and were not feeding. Hope others did better than we did
BTW we only ventured out to 180 FOW so the fish may have been out deeper.

I like Chinook divers best.

I expect that things are going to get even better soon . I plan on getting out again by next week and think that
using an old trick of a small dodger with a smaller spoon about 3 feet behind it will work well now. Haven't seen that
used much after about 2000 ..

We’re you running flashers/flies or spoons? Thanks for the report Doc!
We were running all spoons and the action came on 2 on NK 28 frog with the silver back and 1 fish on black ladderback NK 28. All on the riggers and zip on the Chinook divers ?

IF MONEY WERE NO OBJECT! My boat would have every bell and whistle
GPS and Radar and auto pilot could make fishing easy ,BUT WOULD IT REALLY ?
Navigation always depends on the human element and all those aids are just aides!
I actually always have a compass , and because everyone will question even that compass I keep
a hand held bearing compass on board as well.

Dr w do u have a compass ?
OF COURSE ! And GPS and I am now considering adding Radar!
Remember all IO's have low speed wander and maintaining course is by eye
The mate was not able to handle it.

We took a short trip out of Sodus Wednesday morning and the fog was so thick that with out GPS you could not navigate,
and to make it more fun the wind could not make up its mind which way it wanted to blow. Were there any other fools out
in that pea soup?

a fixed slider is the way to go. gets more lines in the water while skirting the 3 rods per person law.
Depends on your set up after you have about 8 to 10 lines out it starts getting complicated, and the experience of the crew
Comes into play as well.
-
When I fish deep I have been known to put the first line on the ball and then stack a roamer up the cable 15 feet so you have 2 rods on that Downrigger then put the slider on the top rod so you cover as an example 110 bottom 95 stacker and then about 45 with the slider Beware this can result is a tangled mess but you do hook up more.
Remember that the lake has changed and it is harder to hook up with just down riggers and take a hard look at the Chinook divers made of Stainless they are the best I have found for deep and spread out well

What color Bay Rats were working best and were they deep or shallow ?

Fishnut The other reason is that the electric would be silent where the 5.0 makes some noise .
I have both trolling bags and a trolling plate and can slow.
Waverammer There is no good way to mount and run a kicker on this hull unless it were electric start and had full controls.
The freeboard is very high and it would be tricky
-
The Minn Mora 160 salt water was the one and would it be able make 2mph
-
There is a twin ELECTRIC that mounts on the IO or cavitation plate of outboard with 160 pounds of thrust does anyone have any experience with this good or bad battery useage and power I have a bayliner 2452 and could put up to 4 battery on board

Warm Fall is good for us
The alwives [Saw bellies] are temperature sensitive and this warm fall may help
keep the water temp in a range that is better for our forage base..
Sure hope so
See you all in the spring !

Professionalism
This past Saturday, my wife, daughter, and I made the four hour trip to the Oak in hopes to catch a salmon or two. As the morning developed, most boats and action took place between 70 and 100 feet of water. With beautiful skies and clam water, many sized boats took advantage of the weather. As we were trolling eastward, a charter boat was heading west when one of their lines took a shot. The salmon headed in a direction towards the front of my small boat. The captain yelled and I waved to acknowledge his dilemma, so I make a sharp turn to the south. After getting my boat and lines on a straight course, I noticed the charter boat netted that fish and the captain yelled: "Thank you, if you have a green j-plug put it down 50 feet". I know charter boats have received negative press over the years, but the captain of the charter boat Troutman is a class act! After placing my only green j-plug down 50, by daughter was hooked into a Lake Ontario salmon.
That is Captain John Orvec The best guide on the lake [IMHO]
You want to charter a trip he is the guy to put you on fish and teach you how and why!
