Thinking about purchasing the HDS-12.I fish a lot on Lake Erie's western end Huron to Lorain area. Probably the best unit for here. I fish Ontario once a year just wondering how that unit works in the deep water in Lake Ontario. Does the 50/200 (50) track the DR balls and how deep. Any information is appreciated. We fish out of Point Breeze. Thanks Mike

A spray with a high % of DEET works the best. Off only has 25 to 49 % there are other brands that have 98% . A little pricey 7 to 9 dollars for a small spray bottle. The more DEET higher price.

Does the NE affect Olcott the same way as it does at the Oak?

Anything with a high % of DEET in it works the best. We have the same thing on Lake Erie

My sons and I pull our boat to the Oak to fish for a week. The last 2 years a strong NE blew in cold water making it hard for us to find mature fish. I was just wondering if the NE affects Olcott the same way? Does the cold water move out faster? Any info wood be appreciated. Thanks Mike

Thanks for the replies I used the Albright knot. I like my reels full. I Used 100 yds. of 50-12 power pro. 1000 ft. wire came out just right. Thanks Mike

I am spooling 2 convector 30 with1000 ft. of wire. I want back fill W/ 40-10 power pro. What is the best knot for braided line to wire? Any feed back is appreciated. Thanks Mike

North of the Ridge camp grounds 585-682-4376 They also rent campers $60. a night.

Convector's are a good reel with a good drag. The Magda is ok for Lake Erie will not hold up with Ontario's big fish. We had a 17lb.steelhead tear the guts out of a Magda 30.

My two sons and I come to the Point once a year.My son Troy(raider44 on this site) meet Duane on this site.Never meeting us in person let us use his wire and copper rigs. He left them at Captins Cove. When we got their to pick them up,he had bought us some spoons spin doc and flys.They shared phone numbers. Duane was in contacted with us shareing his knowledge with us.The only thing he wanted in return was for us to have a good time.We cought a lot of fish and had a great time.We never got to meet Duane. Truley a very good person Thanks Mike Justin and Troy
