    Pick your weather days and you can fish lake o just have a backup plan in mind for any given day. Torpedo 19 strand wire is a lot more fore giving especially for a first wire rod For kings a good smooth drag is worth the buy you can buy high end if it’s in your budget or buy cheaper and upgrade the Drags you can always leader down for the finger lakes so get rods with Kong’s in mind that said my favorite rigger rods are med light Diawas I do have a heavier rod for flasher flies for dipseys a set of Diawa wilderness heavy action will work nicely I use an 8’ 6” model for an inside diver and a 10 foot ugly stick for the outside Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    seems like a waste of weights i would rather use an or clip the one with the pin and just take it off. lead is getting more expensive every year and its a bad look to purposely leave it on the bottom of the lake

    that is an awesome fish pick shows how violent they have the potential to be

    Don't sweat it if they don't work lots of reports on meat bites this year but I haven't had a single release on one in fact I haven't even had a flasher fly hit this year despite that we have had a good year keep running them because the day they go hot for you it will be worth it Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I cant speak to sandy but the launch at bald eagle was open on saturday nice launch and has a drop box if you get there early and fishing was fantastic. we fished the sandy creek shootout from there and had steady action all day long ended with an 81lb box and had or threw back 5 other fish over 15 I have a bruise on my stomach from the rod butt. its only about 15 mins from sandy..

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    we went 6 for 8 out of Hughes 3 kings 2 steel and a laker started out late morning in the fog and started popping rods right away wind came up a touch and blew the fog off and it slowed but managed a couple more fished 9 to 1 biggest king around 18-19 both steelbows around 8 all hits in top 35 feet of water the steelhead both came in the top 10 feet off of slide divers. silver and black and a homemade glow lure took most of the hits.

    maybe try cursing the basin and if you see marks doing some vertical jigging? the fish on the shoreline might see a lot more lures than the ones in open water. i have read that trolling this time year at high speeds 3-4 mph can be good. great way to cover a lot of water. i'm following this thread closely and will be learning as much as i can from it. nice to get the perspective of someone else just starting into it.

    what type of boat is that your running? looks like a nice platform from what i can see

    i launched at hughes yesterday. he has done a ton of work to keep it usable. very fisherman friendly launch and even has good bathrooms. no distance to travel to the lake and you can get to depth quick. normally i dont like crowds but this place has made every effort to always be open with the high water and is one of my favorite launches in the state

    hughes is my normal summer launch its a very fisherman friendly launch
