    Depends what port you fish out of. At The Oak, break wall is about 43° 22.5" N. I'm guessing Rochester is a bit south of that.
  2. orangediablo
    Latitude. If someone talks about fishing the 26 line, they are referring to 43°26' N

    Once you find the speed fish are hitting, adjust the drag on your divers so they start creeping out if/when your faster than you want to be. This may help a little when you change direction and down speed changes.

    Can't catch fish sitting on the couch....fishing has been pretty good last few weeks

    Plan on heading out Sunday. May be a bit later than what you're looking for, but i'll throw up a thread regardless

    That was the story Sunday, but VERY few takers.....ask the 20 boats working that area Sunday afternoon.....

    If you have two 55L Okumas laying around, spool the 45 backwards on one, and see how much braid it'll hold. You'll be able to run more than that for the 350'. Kind of a rough way of doing it but will work. I know someone here has some formulas/spreadsheet to help calculate this stuff.

    Switched all my non-mag spoons to single siwash. IME, they stay buttoned a bit better, especially when the steelies are flying outta the water. Also easier and faster to remove with less damage to the feesh. Side note, tend to switch out the split rings on DW spoons. When swapping hooks, the ring tends to have a gap and somehow lose a little tension, possibly allowing spoon/hook to slide through split ring and 'unwind'. I've brought a few fish in with spoon or hook halfway around the split ring (wish I had a pic).

    Good price. Wish I was closer

    Back at it again last night as weather and wind were perfect. This time brought my tripod and was MUCH better. Hit the locator, heard one off in the distance. Played a sequence of coyote/rabbit and this guy came sneaking around. Watched him form a bit and took him out. About a week left, hoping to get out over more time. 20250322010102 (1).mp4

    Got my first coyote tonight. Worked him for 20 min, not having an idea if I was working him right, but could hear him yipping closer and closer, so I kept the call going. Still playing with the scope, setting and video, as this was my second time out with it. Weighing him on the scale, i have 45-48#. Seems heavy, so I'll try another scale tomorrow. 20250307204916.mp4
