    I haven't had a problem wth the diving if I reel the boards straight in without letting off

    You certainly picked two very accomplished fishermen to go with and it sounds as though you had a fish fest Anyone take any pics or were you too busy ?

    Back in the old days when I was a lot crazier than now (early 80's) I used to chase the steelies out 10 or 12 miles out with my litlle 13 ft Whaler and those things would be going by me and some of the guys on board would either scratch their heads or just look at me in disbelief and some of the ships had 23 or 25 foot dingys on board

    Remember Nick it is Lake O.....not all those hooks are trout or salmon

    Kev - Screwie Louie at Fairhaven fixes Cannons. I believe he is the closest to you. Nice going on the fishing. The 307fish.com guys at Lake George also do them but that is a bit far. Good going on the fishing Kev. As Andy said you "switched gears" to the old stand by method without missing a beat

    Dave - Sheila looks like she is getting used to grabbing the rod and holding up fish afterward... you're going to have to practice getting faster on the draw Nice going!

    Nice going Art.....regardless of catch always fun just being in that area

    The mono section is a commonly used approach. I use the 50 lb braid (backing) because it seems to cut through the water better than the mono and has no stretch. I haven't had any problems of the braid weakening.You should also keep in mind that any time you have a knot in your setup it can be a potential weak spot regardless of the knot used and the more knots the more fleas can be attracted (the copper itself is usually flealess)

    Yes you can run it on 22's the depth will depend on many factors such as boat speed, currents, what you are running on it, perhaps the diameter of wire (e.g. 32 vs 60). You can run it either way on boards or down the chute (middle of your stuff out back). You could even hook a balloon to it to get it away from other stuff out back instead of boards.

    Go deep

    Nice going fellas! Nothing like breaking the little guys in seeing some Lake O fish but on the downside......the pressure will be on when you go to Seneca to get the big boys Might be a good day for an ice cream Mike

    britty I think you may be thinking of what we old school dudes used to call flashers are now called "cowbells"

    Thanks Pap....it's my favorite fishing then too for browns rainbows and perch.

    Great Justin. I haven't forgotten about getting together on Seneca either bud . You've been hammering those eyes this season too I sure wouldn't be releasing many walleyes like I do the trout . Give me a call when you're in the mood and the weather is doable and we can set it up.

    Sweet!
  24. Sk8man
    Whatever it is it works for those guys.

    I'd use rubber bands if it were me and especially if you are using roughly the same spot to put it in the release. A lot of folks worry about breaking the core lead inside but most of the actual strength of the leadcore is the outside sheathing material.
