I've only ever once purchased and used Sufix 10 color 27lb. Caught countless fish and never a problem.

Awesome! It really was gorgeous out there today. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You are the man! That must have been one hell of a surprise at the net! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Those are insane numbers. Congrats to you both. I struggled today trying to find anything deep. But like you, nearly all action came from leadcore.

Nice job on the triple!

I wanted it simple so I was just running spoons. 20 back on the 40 down and 15 back on the 60 down. If I run flashers/spin doctors off the riggers, which is infrequent, no longer than 10-12 feet back or you can end up with some nasty tangles. Usually run spin doctors off dipsies.

That is too funny. Are you targeting them now? I love catching any fish that will smack a lure, including drum. I've never seen someone be so adept at catching just those.

Installed my new FH X4 last week and had problems with it powering off or entering calibration screen. Changed engine plugs to R type and tonight it was perfect. Amazing how much I'm learning from it. Don't know how much it contributed to tonight's catch, but I wouldn't have maintained the surface speed that I was without knowing how slow it was below. Left the bay at 5:30 and straight north. Not a boat in sight tonight. Started setting lines at 80 fow continuing north. Dropped the probe line at 60 with a DW wonderbread(superbread). Other rigger with a DW 42nd at 40, and a 4 color leadcore with a Warrior Salmon Slammer custom. Trolled out to 110 with nothing happening. Marking fish at 30's or 80's. This was a trial run for the Fish Hawk so I wasn't too concerned with catching tonight. Had 48.7 degrees, 60 down over 110 fow. Turned around and then it got fast and furious. Maintained about 2.6 downspeed on a south troll. Wonderbread rigger popped first with an 11 lb King. Started setting rigger again and the leadcore rod shot down. Decent fish but it popped off halfway in. 40 rigger fired with a skipper king on the DW 42nd. Wonderbread rigger took a hit but only on for a few seconds. Another quick strike on the leadcore with the Warrior spoon but gone by the time I got to the rod. That was over 90 fow and nothing moved after that, or so I thought. Started pulling lines at 70 and found a tiny King on the 40 rigger. Don't care how good your releases are, this guy wasn't going to pop it. Marked a ton of bait pods from 80 fow to 60 fow. Down temp approx. 50.3 with a surface temp of 53.5 in that range. Alewives are still as thick as can be in the channel and upper part of the bay. Gulls are going to be obscenely large around here for awhile. Good luck to all this weekend!

We headed out of the channel by 5:40, straight north, and started setting lines in 75fow. Spread baits from 20 to 55. First fish hit the leadcore, full 10 colors out, on a dw wonderbread. 7# king to start things out. Second king came on the same but put up a 40 minute fight. 21 lbs and my brothers biggest to date. At that point I took the hint and changed all spoons to white glow type. Mix of warrior and nk's. Took some hits on both riggers but both popped off. Leadcore hit again with a 16# king. Rigger popped again with the nk but nothing there. Dipsy got smashed 120feet setting 3(I use braid). 8lb king on warrior glow spoon. Worked from 70 to 100fow but parked everything from 45 to 55 once there was a pattern. Awesome morning for us and back in at 10:30 Cant figure out pics yet.
