The pier can be a great place take a bucket of crabs keep them up high away from the gobies and if you like to cast a jig will work lake said and river side work on different days lots of variety around my biggest drum (sheephead) is 22 lbs the fight good and if you can pattern then you can catch all day Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

clip the dipsey over when there is still one wrap of braid on the spool than pick up the rod and start letting it out under tension that way the wire is never slack.

We fished out of Hugh's sat steady pick but fish were scattered did 1 brown 1 Laker 2 steel and 3 kings from 110 out to 220 from 30 down to 85 down riggers and dipseys all spoons glows were best but we covered a lot of miles couldn't get 2 hits in any one spot today's wind will change things up Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

good healthy looking fish well fed for sure thats a good sign for the future

check the swivels on the blacks make sure they are able to spin free if one is stuck your release could do a slow spin with the cable even while the weight stays straight. the cable is made up of small strands twisted together so there is always some inherent twist in it and it can rotate as it goes up and down. if the release swivel is fused or a piece of dirt in there or just stuck than you can have issues. only takes one turn to cause problems. sounds far fetched but i had it happen so now if i ever get a twist in anything I always check the swivel.

At least you got to see one gets the blood pumping I pulling for ya hope to see some nice pics from this thread you are definitely putting some time in Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Use a longer tow rope dock your boat than use the rope to pull the other boat in Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Very nice definitely one of the models on my buy list Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

a record hatch would be nice to help re establish a more diverse age structure in years to come. my concern would be for last years hatch that just went though its first winter and would be looking to put on the feed bag. I do think a good this year hatch could be important as cooler stream temps and good flows this spring open the door for a strong class of natural kings which are a big wild card in the predator prey balance

Gill t you beat me to it I must type slow Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

After you let it out run it down the chute for a couple minutes that will ensure it has come up to running depth than you can send it down the board line over you're dipsey. When you are deploying it even if slow it is running slower than other lines and will sink deeper if you send it over your dipseys before it levels out there is greater risk of tangles Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I heard it to....makes me hungry just thinking about them Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

As much as i love the cooler weather for comfort and as much as it has set up great fishing through a lot of the lake I wonder if taking so long to warm will cause low recruitment of young of year alewives cold water is not good for growing the algae and other planktons they need coming out of winter. This is a long time to go on fat stores for a young bait fish
