Mr clean's Fair Haven Report
bout time replied to mrclean's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
There are fish in tight 120-200 but mostly teenagers with a lot of skippies mixed in. Most recently the offshore bite (400-600' ) has been great with a majority of 3 year old fish. Mix of spoons and flies doing the trick. Couldn't agree more about the weather/waves. Doing many tournaments and events in BIG waves it is not fun and there is no reason to be out there. The fish will be there "tomorrow" and safety should always be #1 priority 'Bout Time Mike -

Cannon electric rigger - slow retrieve?
bout time replied to markmonkey1's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Is it further away from the battery than the faster one? They draw a lot of current on the retrieve and if your battery is starting to go it can also affect them. Also make sure you are using large gauge wire Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

I won a frabil in a tournament and it has turned out to be one of the best I've owned. It's a "power catch" series Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Afternoon can be very good especially when during full moon cycles. The last couple hours of daylight can be some of the best and most productive fishing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Looked on the inside and i couldn't find the fish that were there. I decided to head out deep. Once I hit 400 FOW it was game on. We ended going 4 for 6 all in a 1.5 hour window. Rigger at 55- 65 pulling a carbon 14 spoon took 2 fish, rigger at 85 with custom chip pro am fly took one, rigger at 100 pulling a matador sweet pea took one. Lost 2 dipsy fish both on green dot / stud fly. 2 largest Kings were 23 and 26, and we kept a nice steelhead. We released another small king. 'Bout Time Mike

We fished out of Hughes marina this year due to the flooding in Sodus Bay. Big Fish Friday was cancelled due to small craft advisory. So we just hung out until dinner and had a nice time with all captains and veterans at dockers on Sodus Bay. The forecast for Saturday another small craft advisory with 4-6' waves and building as the day went on. Woke up Saturday morning and was met with 2 foot waves and it was a go. I worked Waters from 120-450. We took 2 skippies in 200 and 240 with a pretty blank screen until we hit 400. Waves were building 3-5 with occasional 6s. Then the screen lit up and the dispey out 370 tarted screaming and within 5 minutes our 70 rigger starts ripping as well. Doubled up !!!! We dropped the dipsey fish and landed the rigger. A 18+ lb king. As we tried to make the turn back to our waypoint I broke off my probe torpedo weight and wrapped 60' of cable around my kicker prop. I fired up the main motor and got us going with the waves, I put on a life jacket and over the back I went on the swim platform. I removed the prop and all cabling in 5' waves (wasn't pleasant). By the time all was said and done we were in 280' and pointed south. I didn't have enough time to make the run back to 400 so we decided to troll all the way into the dock. We never moved another rod. At the weigh in there were a lot of fish caught but they were mostly 2 year olds in the 10-15 lb range. We ended with the 4th biggest king out of 34 teams. My Vet was great and we had a great time. The event went as smoothly as it could. The weather was great and everyone from the captains, the vets, all the volunteers and spectators were great 'Bout Time Mike

Worst part is the cap and rotor were done last year along with plugs and wires. Fuel separator was new this May. All in all I'm pretty anal about my maintenance and servicing. I'm not complaining at all. It cost me 100 bucks for all the new parts and additives and I'm back in action now Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and help Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Just returned to dock. She ran flawlessly. I was able to get 25 knots / 3700 rpm into the waves and it never hiccuped. Ran it for about 15 minutes or so just to let it get a good test. Stopped and accelerated to cruising speed 3 or so times. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That's always the plan if I can't figure it out on my own. You know me and I like to turn some wrenches first 'Bout Time Mike

Took the family out fishing and my boat started to surge after I got it up on plane. It would drop 300-400 RPM and come back. I thought it might stall a couple times. It is fine on low rpm and only does it while up on plane. I checked the inline fuel filter and checked for debris. It was clean. I replaced it any way and it still does it. I only run non-ethanol 87 gas. Could this be bad gas ? Water in gas? 'Bout Time Mike

Netting Techniques- lost 3 today -bad technique
bout time replied to garrymny's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Head first, and scoops down at a 45* or higher angle. Make sure to "plunge down" and get net deep enough. The water and boat moving will raise the net automatically to the surface. A lot of fish are lost because the net isn't deep enough and people try to slide the net under the fish and that's when the hooks get tangled. It should be one fast motion: Fish Head first Net Steep angle Plunge down And lift up Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Those boards pull extremely hard, but if your grab rails are solid they should be able to handle it. Make sure you get a board snubber. I've also seen guys add springs to their pulleys to absorb some of the strain. 6 copper rods ? You are a braver man than I Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
