  1. You have a PM, sir! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. 👠very impressive! How far down were you running the flasher/flies? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. I ordered it off their website less than a week ago. This should take you there: http://shop.fingerlakestackle.com/t/captains-packs Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. These showed up today. I ordered a Finger Lakes starter kit and a Great Lakes kit. Very, very impressive. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  7. Here's a simple question for you big lake guys: Do 30 class reels (I have Okuma Cold Water 303's and Okuma Classic Pro XP 302's) have enough line to handy fall kings? I run 30# Blood Run Sea Flee line. They hold just under 300 yards of the stuff. I was contemplating getting some 40 class reels of the same style (Okuma cold water 453 and Okuma classic pro xp 452), but would rather not spend the money if it's not necessary. For addintional info, I run Okuma downrigger rods. They are a mix of lengths, but they aren't wimpy rods. Leader material is 25# Seguar flouro. I would hate to watch a fish strip the reel clean when 50 more yards would have saved it. Thanks! Cody
  8. That's how it works best. I use it on my little boat pretty much as soon as it is of the trailer. The only 2 functions that I seem to use are the autopilot (the little circle with an arrow and "N" in it) and cruise control (the little button with a speedometer thing in it). Point the motor the way you want to go, set the speed and relax. The guys over at MinnKota really got it right. 👠Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Watch out for the iPilot. Once you figure it out, you'll never want to use anything else. 😃 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. Now I don't feel so bad! I'm sure you got beat up by the waves...the more north from the glen we got, the rougher the ride! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Went over to the east side. Lots more fish and bait in 80 FOW. Just getting set up and the swivel on my rigger blew up. Bye bye cannon ball and clip! Shortly after, the 150' copper with a DW spoon knocked, but no one home. All fish and bait 25-45 feet. Fleas on west side were bad enough to hang on the rigger cable.

  12. Just dropped a laker (I assume) right off the bottom on a FLT spoon. We were at 80 FOW. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Started out at WG just south of the salt plant. Marked 2 bait balls and sporadic (at best) fish in the last hour. The probe says it 48 degrees down 35. The majority of the fish on the screen are up high in the 40-50FOW range. No takers yet. Weeds and fleas are playing nice so far. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. Hi all I am looking at getting my 1998 Merc 150 black max injected 2 stroke outboard "refreshed" this winter and was hoping someone knew a ballpark price? I would like to have it tore down to the head gaskets (it's a V-6) and have all new gaskets put in and the carbs cleaned. I just bought the boat this past May and it was used in saltwater. The jacket water head cover gaskets seep a bit and it does have a few oil seeps as well around other gaskets. It's not a project I want to take on myself. It is a strong running motor, so I don't really want to get rid of it yet. I figured I could keep the local shop here in PA busy this winter and have a great motor for the spring. Thanks! Cody
  15. Here's a real simple question that I can't seem to find an answer for online: When a new trailer is shipped, does the certificate of origin need to be shipped with the trailer or can it be mailed separately to the dealer? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. No fleas that I could tell. I run Blood Run Sea Flee line, so maybe that had something to do with it. Weeds on the other hand...west side was clean, east side was loaded. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. Not a one. I assume the graph had a few I could see. 3-4 hooks right on the bottom all together. We even tried brighter colored spoons up high for browns and rainbows, but nothing was interested. I haven't had a brown in my boat this year yet!

  18. Fished out of Watkins this morning with my dad and nephew. Got in just before 8 and packed it in about 1230. Went 4 for 4, all LLS. 2 were 4 and 6 lbs, the other 2 were bitty cookie cutters, maybe 1 lb. The bigger 2 are already eaten! The little guys will be bigger next time. Both of the keepers came off a green FLT spoon on the downrigger, 55 in 130 just north of the salt plant. The little guys were around 30 in the same area. Lots of bait and marks on the graph on the east and west sides. Lots of small fish up shallow and bigger marks were generally 50-80 in 100-150. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

  19. I figured they were deeper. I saw a bunch of you guys head out to the middle. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  21. Set up on the east shore from the marina. Ran 3 color leadcore, 5 color leadcore, 2 riggers at 30 and 35 and a flatline. Lots of marks and some bait, but no takers. Green colored, and black and purple spoons. Weeds were terrible. Headed to the west shore and reset with a dipsey/spoon out 65, 3 and 5 leadcores, flasher/spoon at 35 on the rigger and green DW spoon on other rigger at 30. SOG from 2.3-2.7. Still no takers. No weeds. Not sure if anyone else is doing much. The most action we had was our lines hitting bait. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  23. You had to be signed up by 6pm tonight, I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. How big is the turnout for the derby this weekend? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. You could definitely tell the lake isn't i to it's summer norm yet. We would get nothing on the screen for half a mile, then bait and marks for 10 minutes, then back to nothing. The wind did catch us off guard once and we hot scooted into 30 fow, but we did find fish and bait there too. I'll be on Owasco for the South Shore Marina derby next. Maybe by some miracle that lake will be setup then and a few fish will make it in the boat. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
