mr580 Thanks for the good info. Although i love LO fishing, browns, targeting steelies, and salmon, not real fan of salmon for table fare, except maybe the silvers. Think I'm gonna have to make a trip or two to Erie this year. Are the perch available all season or is there a certain time for the hot bite like now that fisherman become tight lipped?

Thanks for ur help n time captain 

When you encounter Kings and breaking leaders can you eliminate the floro leaders altogether and go right to main line with snap swivel or will that reduce your catching? Or step up the floro to 20 lb Thanks for any help

Tell the Warden you have a work-release option

WOW is right . Why fish salt water for table fare when you can have Walleye or Perch ?  Sure everyone would like to hear more, T

Don't know much about Walleye fishing on Great Lakes, but question for you LO fisherman that travel to Ohio to fish walleyes. Have fished NY LO 30+ years and never thought much about it.  If NY & Pa were open for eyes where would you be fishing now and why. Can't believe fishing could be that better in any one area. My guess a lot of interest is for table fair and sport. En-lighten me or point me in the right direction . Thanks for any info willing to share. Checked Erie United but sorry no comparison to LO

I have had both trailers in my time. Currently my trailer is a roller trailer.  roller trailer, especially mine you do not unhook the safety chain untill the stren of the boat is in the water....I think the roller trailer is easier to launch solo than a bunk trailer. I have a guy that fishes with the crew he has a bad habit to unhook the winch and safety chain while the boat is on the ramp . I have to yell out the drivers window not to . Only been fishing with for 20 years lol dose it every time. Bunk trailer, you need to keep track of the bunk coming lose, from the nuts to the bolts to the  bracket on the trailer. worn out carpet. rotten wood . Need to put tailer in deeper into water than a roller trailer. I have had all of those  problems.the Boat dose stay on trailer better ... witch i do like the way the boat stays on the trailer on the ramp with a bunk trailer. Each their own I guess make it work. 

I've had both types also. UnLoading with a roller is easier but going solo makes where you almost can't drive it on because with no one to attach the cable it might roll back in water, depends on steepness of ramp. In that case solo would have to line it on with bow rope and maybe have to get in water. I've already climbed out the hatch and climbed onto trailer when I was by myself with my bunk trailer. Maintenance is more of an issue, replaced rotten bunks and carpeting along with metal plates they attached to. How about what is best for boat in underneath support On an older boat 1990 Thompson does the support matter with supporting the stringers etc better

I was always a roller trailer guy until an experience at the boat launch at Olcott one spring. Launching a 210 Thompson with a roller trailer we found ourselves in a three ring circus. What happened upon trying to launch was backing down over water as one usually does. Upon loosening the winch cable/rope the boat wanted to roll but the emergency chain was still on so first had to remove that. Had to winch the boat up somewhat to relieve pressure but to relieve enough pressure had to pull boat up ramp somewhat to do that. There was a person on the trailer at the winch with a separate rope to the boat eye. Once pressure was relieved next was to release the main cable/line to boat. But as soon as that was removed the boat took off and could not control the decent with the attached rope to boat.  I saw what was happening as the driver and tried to quickly back the boat down the ramp. It splashed into the water. Only problem upon take out discovered part of the skeg broke off the IO. I guess in hindsight the boat had to be backed further down the ramp over water but the problem with that one would have needed waders as the water was too deep to stand on the trailer at the winch. Been hesitant to like roller trailers since. Think the problem only occurs with steep boat ramps. I have a 210 Thompson also with a bunk trailer I like because when launching it stays put until over water. Floats off easily and drives on easily without worrying rolling off trailer when pulling out of water. Anyone else have a tree stooges experience?

I have a question?  Are you running the 5 diver or smaller and is it on a braid main line?  My 5’s are all on wire rods that would take the fight out of a brown.

Think he has mentioned in the past he runs # 2 Chinook divers, he'll correct me if I'm wrong. Lure Jenson also makes min divers that would work for spring brows

And really , The Oak , Bald Eagle , or Sandy are all good mid lake , mid/early summer ports to fish out of. Can't go wrong with any of 

them IMO . Accomodations might be determining factor . 

 

Fishing lake wide wasn't great last year . 

That's probably true considering they're not far apart. where do you stay reasonably priced.? If you are ok with trailer like accommodations North of the Ridge  is the place, If there are other options out of Sandy or Bald Eagle would like to know ? Thanks

So where exactly is Hughes Marina, East or West?

Just realized I had enough front rod holders cause I had them as rear mount holders. 

Believe it was caught on 4/28 before the contest began based on his report See Mexico 4/28 report
