  1. I know some craft stores like AC Moore's or Michaels carry frames and can even make a custom sizes if they don't the right one. Another place to look is Christmas Tree Shop. Just find a picture and frame the same size and just replace the picture
  2. Lower both weight so they are just a couple feet under water but still visible. Troll with them and see if they are tracking correctly. Even if they track a couple inches off that will be magnified times ten when you run them deeper
  3. Took out a friend and his buddy who has never been salmon fishing before. left the dock @ 5:30 and was setting lines just west of chute in 120 FOW a little after 6. lake had a decent 2-3 foot chop in the morning. Found 50 Degrees down 80 over 120. Ran 4 riggers and 3 wire divers. 2 inside riggers pulling spoons and all others falsher fly combos. found a good pod of fish in the 140-180 range. First pass through produced a 6 lb King off the inside rigger set 82 pulling a Die Hard spoon. Next to fire was deep rigger @ 110 pulling custom taped White/Blue Spin Dr/ Hammer fly while fighting that fish 260 dipsey rips pulling White Green Dot board Big Fin fly - DOUBLED UP. landed both fish. both 2 year old Kings 16 and 15 lbs. Fish seemed to disappear after that. I pushed out to 200+ to see where they went. found them again in 190 - 220 range. Dipsey @ 286 pulling green paddle green fly ripped out to 640 before stopping. after a good fight landed a respectable 21 lb King. pointed towards the chute and rigger down 62 pulling a SSW fires and the aerial show began. after some crazy rod movings and untanglings we landed a nice 11 lb Steelhead. back at the dock by 10:30 am ]
  4. concentrate in 6-12 FOW in front of all the bluffs between Sodus and Port Bay. there have been decent numbers taken daily on shad raps, bombers, rapalas, etc.
  5. The threaded studs go from inside the reel seat facing out. Then the clamp goes around rod handle and the nuts secure it to the threaded studs.
  6. Never caught a tagged fish but caught quite a few that had chips in the head. When stopped by DEC survey boat one time 5 out of the Seven kings I caught were chipped. Problem is they cut their heads off and keep them to gather the chip and data. Made for one screwed up photo
  7. You made it longer than me nick. Flies were so bad I had to run to store and hang fly sticky traps in cuddy and cabin because I brought them all back to the dock with me. I couldn't get rid of them. I sprayed them with water and swateed them and they just coming back
  8. As everyone knows the lake flipped. Had 50 degree water down 35 from 120-300 FOW. Hit one salmon in 280 FOW on high diver set at 167 with a glow frog spoon. A nice fighting 2 year old 14 lbs. Worked my way back in towards port and found a pod of bait and fish in 147 FOW down 30-50. Worked this pod and pulled all steelhead ranging from 6 lbs to 11 lbs.
  9. Hate the new fish finder its shows me exactly how many fish are there and won't bite!!!! Just kidding I love it! Can't imagine not having it
  10. Setup by 630 straight out of chute. Only fish to hit the deck was a decent 25.13 King. Fish hit a blue cracked ice SD hammer fly on 91 rigger over 170. Ran mxed program. Of fly's and spoons wire divers rigger a and copper. Good screnn 120-200 range outside 200 blank. Be back at it tomorrow
  11. Welcome what model trophy did you get?
  12. a friend at camp just purchased this downrigger at a garage sale. it did not come with a base. we are trying to figure out what it is / who made it. it is all aluminum constructiona nd built like a tank. its is a 12v electric which works great. It appears to have a "power window" motor on it which i know was typical of Proos. there are no markings at all anywhere on it. The bottom has a spring loaded pull pin that would lock it into the base. The whole is 1" in diameter. any clue????
  13. Stayed inside waters today. Worked depths of 80-150. Took one Skippy right off the bat on 240 dipsey over 120 FOW one white green dot Spinny green fly. Took a decent rip on 254 dipsey over 140 on green paddle green fly. A decent 13lb King.
  14. Fished from 530-1230. Started in 100FOW and went to 570 looking for fish. Marked one or two here or there but nothing major. Spread consisted of 3 riggers 3 wire divers a copper and a core line. Mixed program of spoons and flasher fly combos. Took one shot on a 230 dipsey over 420 but came unbuttoned. A Couple hours later the 210 dipsey rips over 160 and after a great aerial show and a good fight we brought our first KING to the net. A decent 15lbs. Never moved Another rod. Fish took a green e chip atom mik fly.
  15. Walker deeper divers 107 for me. They can go over 100' depending on setting. I run 3 sometimes 4 without issues. Best thing for me is no rings to worry about. Run insides in 1 and outsides on 3-3.5 this is with 3/4 rigger spread also.
  16. One trick to getting the know tight is to attach weight to rigger and have someone hold it down and use a pair of pliers to pull on tag end and synch tight. The more it is used the knot will tighten up
  17. Its just me. I historically have a tough time every June. Its the transition period for FH. Usually 1st week of Ju?ly things start. Browns are around to be caught now but I always look at it as a way to improve my game and learn new techniques by targeting salmon and steelies this time of year
  18. im using depth raider. I have always done well between 2.1 - 2.3 with it. I used to have a cannon and best donwspeed with that was 2.4 plus
