    Just like the title says lots of lure washing this weekend. Started on Saturday morning in tight 80-130 marked alot of fish but could get them to go. 72 on top 68 on botton from 80-150. worked my way north with a completely blank screen to 400. took one shot on a 600 copper meat rig in 420 - little and came unbuttoned. next shot was 450 copper in 460 meat rig - major shot but gone before i got to the rod. had 50 degrees down 90 from 260 - 500. Sunday started in 100 again and tried to get he inside fish to fire but couldnt. worked my way north again with same exact temps and screen as Saturday. took one King (16 " ) in 530 FOW on 1.5 dipsey out 330 silver echip / green crinkle fly. That was it for entire weekend. I did hear some guys having luck just not me this weekend. My spread consisted of 2 / 3 riggers, 2 wire dipseys, and 2 coppers 450 and 600. Tried spoons, Flasher/Fly, and Big Paddles with Meat.

    After a lot $&÷_$ and oh @£×¥! It ended up being a partially clogged intake. I elminated the bait well and still had issues. I then pulled the pump and replaced all water lines -no change. I tested the pump in a 5 gallon bucket and worked great. I brought my air compressor down and used that to blow out the water line and intake. Once that was done put everything back together and now it works as it should. Note to self blow out intake first next time before trying anything else 'Bout Time Mike

    can you post a pic of your probe / cable connection

    I read on another site that this is common with type of setup and culprit is usually that the washdown is sucking air through the live well. I am going to try to plug the live well side and see what happens

    Make sure the coated rigger cable is stripped off and making good metal to metal connection with the probe tab. Also spin the paddle wheel on the probe and it should "wake up" the probe. They are designed to shut off after a period of time with no movement to help save battery life you will need a new battery as well a low battery will affect readings 'Bout Time Mike

    The swivel base will work but the new STX riggers use a different main base. They replaced the old "block" with the new design. The rod holders will fit on the boom only but they were also replaced with a new bolt on design 'Bout Time Mike

    My washdown pump is T'd off my bait well thru haul intake located on bottom of the boat . It worked fine for a while but now I'm not getting enough water to my washdown pump. The bait well works fine. I've tested the pump outside the boat and it works fine so the problem appears to be water restriction from the intake. Is there a way to clean it in the water? Air compressor etc?. When I put boat on trailer the intake rests on top of the bunk so it's not accessible that way 'Bout Time Mike

    I use the pool noodle. This year I wrapped it around an adjustable shower curtain rod and it works great as I can move it anywhere in the boat or cuddy and adjust it to stay in place

    Below is a post from last year. As you can see by the marks on the screen and my rigger numbers fish were well below 100'. Its always worth a shot of throwing at least one rig down there to see what happens and if it fires send em all down ...... Posted August 20, 2014 - 3:10 PM Fished right out front by myself. Started in 300 and worked out to 450. Best screen was around 340 range. Temps were deep (60.2 down 150 over 300 FOW) ended up taking a rip on a 425 diver / 1 setting pulling double green crush paddle with whole bait - came unbuttoned. Next shot was on a 450 diver / 1.5 setting w/Gator spin Dr + big fin glow. 16lb King. worked that area for a couple more hours and took just one more short hit on a dipsy. Pointed toward port and screen lit up in 240 FOW. As soon as i saw the screen i said theres no way a rod isnt going to fire. I looked at the rods and rigger one fires pulling a green frog paddle green whole bait rig down 170, i grabbed the rod and rigger 2 fires pulling a UV 2 face echip / cut bait rig down 147, so i left one rod in the rod holder and was working both fish the best i could 45 seconds the wire dispy out 405 starts screaming. a triple and im by myself. Alot of Oh Sh#@s later and i was able to bring two to the net. Gotta love late summer/fall salmon fishing.

    Many times my riggers are at 110 plus. Like Paul said fish where the the fish are. If your marking big hooks down 140 drop em down and hold on. Same with dipseys. I've had them out 400 plus before on a 1.5 setting and caught fish

    Awesome fish

    They should just be standard automotive or electrical connectors. Male and female ends. Home Depot / Lowe's / or any automotive store should carry them. I agree though it sounds like a ground issue. I would start there Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    i trim my tag ends off. i have multiples of most flies and they are usually a liitle longer/shorter than the others. that way you can run the same fly on two different setups and if one is taking alot more hits than the other you can change to match.

    we were all very suspicious ourselves but they (DEC) was standing behind it. just one of those "OK" moments and let it go versus argue with them.

    I agree with Rich. I run Torpedos as well and my counters are off less then 12 feet. I have adjusted my counters to make up the difference. So when i see fish or bait at say 100 feet on my sonar i drop my riggers to 100 feet and am within a couple feet of my target.

    Heard similar report but have not seen any pics or true story. This past weekend there was a decent Atlantic caught out of sodus and according to DEC it was a Brown/Atlantic hybrid. Very interesting.......

    you have it about right. i wrap mine twice length wise around spin dr or echip and add a couple inches also. some days 19" work better and other days 24" or longer work better. most of mine are within a couple inches of each other

    The snap connectors are ok but do allow water in and the corrision is a killer. They are best used inside someoine where they are protected. As above most problems with trailer lights are grounding issues. it is always best to soldeir and shrink wrap when you can

    I have sat back and let this years event kinda set in. I am proud to say i have been a part of this program from the start. i did not know anyone involved other than their " screen name " from LOU in the beginning. I have met many friends through this program and memories that will last a lifetime. I have seen this event grow every year and have seen the volunteer list also grow. it is truly amazing how much everyone gives and will do anything that is needed for the Veterans. i have participated in other similar programs (wounded warriors fishing) and can honestly say that this is the best run program with the most support. There are several people that truly step up every year to help (most mentioned above) but the two most un-selfish people, that if it were not for them this event would not be here are Nick and Theresa Allers. They put in more hours and behind the scenes work than most realize. They rarely ask for help and always have a smile on their face. They have taken this from a "what can i do" thought to what it is today. it is truly amazing to see this come together every year but i want to recognize both Nick and Theresa for everything they have done and continue to do. You both will always be considered in my eyes as two truly amazing people and my friends. From the entire Juskow Family we thank you both and look forward to all the future years.

    I have a camp on Blind Sodus. Fishing is good early season for northern, perch, and crappie. As the bay warms up there is decent bass fishing. Concentrate on docks and structure as in any bass fishing. Salamanders and 7" worms take a decent amount with hard baits also producing
