  1. 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. Latitude. If someone talks about fishing the 26 line, they are referring to 43°26' N
  3. 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.
  4. Can't catch fish sitting on the couch....fishing has been pretty good last few weeks
  5. Plan on heading out Sunday. May be a bit later than what you're looking for, but i'll throw up a thread regardless
  6. Go buy another lottery ticket
  7. That was the story Sunday, but VERY few takers.....ask the 20 boats working that area Sunday afternoon.....
  8. 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.
  9. I'm slipped there in May. Shoot me a PM and we can chat. I try to be out most weekends
  10. About time
  11. Yup. Still in place, and no ice.
  12. I'll grab an update pic tomorrow morning
  13. Just grabbed this. Can see open water beyond the ice. Not that much left
  14. Negative. Still very much in place.
  15. Call around. Wondering if there are a few captains you can charter through who would allow you to do the work.......choosing what rods to run,lured, etc.
  16. Minefield.... 20250401_114347.mp4
  17. Diawa 47h $30 Shakespeare (same size as Diawa) $25 Frabill net Fixed 58" handle Hoop is approx. 36x26" and about 36" deep. Plastic yoke No idea what these go for, so start at $40
  18. Talk to troubles on here. Good dude, good products
  19. 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).
  20. Good price. Wish I was closer
  21. 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
  22. i'll get some updated pics tomorrow when i'm back in the office
  23. Looks like $40
  24. https://apps.glerl.noaa.gov/coastwatch/webdata/statistic/ice/dat/g2024_2025_ice.dat Down to 26%
  25. 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
