    Great boat! I run a 20’ welded Alumaweld Intruder! I prefer the Bar first two weeks of May. Fishing can be just plain stupid.... then again you get a hard northeast wind it will be a ghost town. Lol. I like Oswego the last two weeks of July. This year I am going to fish out of Port Bay July 9-19 Fleas get bad mid July at times... most likely a whole new ballgame for you. Booking a reputable charter is well worth the $$. If you are only coming for 3 days leave the boat home and go with charter. Might not even get out of port with a 20’.

    Lost a nice one with flasher fly dipsy and 20’ of wire last summer smacking the line on the water to clear the rope I broke off.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if it was all white perch

    That’s what I do and rarely have a failure. I use the Uni knot on the mono or braid.

    What are you running for line?

    You gotta be willing to donate tackle yo you find what works. Slide divers are useless when fleas show up

    I think the rule of thought is 3/1. Regular. And 2.5. Or 2/1 with added weight and ring. Your speed and lake o currents gonna put that to the test. Best thing is to keep adjusting your setup to it fires or hits bottom.

    What is a pike ball? I assume a large bobber. Excuse my ignorance. Love coppers

    I guess I am an a hole. . You asked. I think you will have to get to 60’ of water to catch something other than little white perch & gobies by then. I could be wrong.

    If the weather cooperates grow a set and get some line screamers

    How will the water levels be mid April - May 1 and launch access? Want to try this area for a few weekends.

    Thanks for the insight. All of the kings we got on long coppers and wire dipsys we picked off bottom and they were hogs. Our biggest for the week was 25 pounds and 36.5 inches. Broke a number off that size as well. Our biggest laker was 36" and 19 pounds. Not bad for never catching a king before. We fish Champlain and George.

    Maybe I should be asking what part of the upper water column I should be working. I saw lots of surfacing fish offshore and felt like I was missing out. Tried flatling a few sticks off the boards over the deep water that didn't produce. Inshore we did well with sticks off boards and spoons off riggers for the browns & coho.

    2nd year to the bar in May and was wondering how many colors of lead guys are running offshore for Kings/coho? Did well with 200,250 & 300 coppers and had great rigger bites from 30-60 down along with wire dipsys. Looking to add some more junk to the spread as it is so fun clearing lines in a fire drill

    Thanks for pointing that lure connection out to me a few years ago jim! Matty and I smoked the Kings at the bar. Large & mag bees with ring cut off and ran with the snap. Headed home tomorrow. Took a few browns and cohos on a small size bee in pink!. Old school greens and chartreuse ruled
