We run a smaller boat and try to do a few every year weather and scheduling are always a factor this year we did the Monroe county challenge and the sodus pro am both were a lot of fun we managed a full box for each but couldn't get enough size they were both a lot of fun and we at least felt we had a chance in the past we have done the sandy creek shootout and done well there that is also very am friendly the timing just didn't work out this year the we also did the Fair Haven challenge this year and last just didn't perform well have no issues with the event for someone just getting into lake o and tourny fishing these are good events. This was our first chance to do a proam and would imagine the Oswego and niagra events are good as well based off of our experience Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We like to run Chinook divers 5s on the inside weight in the first hole and 4s on the outside with the weight on the 3rd hole my starting spread is generally inside divers as deepest 2 riggers in the middle than outside divers up high more separation is better but as the day goes on we adjust to the depths getting bit biggest thing is let the line out slow Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

if the weather report has the waves building than they tend to be shorter choppier waves. if the waves are falling than that is when you get the long rolling waves. as far as speed controll the same as any other time. change directions untill you find the ones that ride right. use bags and higher rpms to stablize

Always good to see someone help a boater in distress it can happen so quick to any one of us Good work whaler proof that there really are still good people out there Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I run 4 wire divers braid works but during the warm months fleas can be a major problem you can run whatever you want if you have enough seperation but personally i dont like to run 2 flashers on one side it is convinenent to have shorter rods on the inside but you can run all 4 the same leangth especially if they are the same make and model. A larger dipsey on the inside will pull a bigger bend as well

Which maps? Depending on which one it could be lattitude Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

we had a lot of fun in this one it was our first year doing it. Special thanks for the early decision on the weather postponement it made it much easier to rearrange the weekend.

I use it as backer on a 200 weighted steel it's more user friendly than copper and gives me versitility out of one rod I fish out of an 18 footer so space is premium I also only run longlines when derby fishing so being able to hit several leangths on one rod suits my current needs I also run 19 strand as my dipsey line again I find it more user friendly wire knots are easy don one overhand loop and tighten that's it anything more tends to distribute stress unevenly to the strands made me nervous as all heck to try but after a few years I'm a believer. Weighted steel I use the connection the torpedo guy did the video on and if I'm doing wire to mono or braid direct an Albright knot with the wire looped and the other line wrapping there are other ways that work but this is what I have confidence in Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
