  1. Back to back uni Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  2. 30# Maxima Chameleon straight to the lure for me. I get about 800' on a size 30 okuma. I found this line fishing the Niagara River as a teenager. It's the most abrasion resistant mono I've ever seen. Saved a ton in tackle since then Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  3. Altmar Outfitters Lodge. Shane Muckey will show you a great time. https://m.facebook.com/pages/Altmar-Outfitters-Lodge/152774531420276 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  4. Take the split shot off. Just like taking boards off with a fish on. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  5. All my worker comp premiums for my home improvement company go to the state's "general fund". It's ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. Yes wire directly to dipsey then as long of a leader as you can handle to your bait. I like 12' of 30# maxima chameleon mono. You can get by with out a Twilly tip but it will pigtail the wire quicker. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  8. Pm Gambler. He will set you up with exactly what you need Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  9. I usually launch at Olcott as I live in town. If heading to the bar, I like to launch in Wilson. The 10 mile run is soothing to me on calm seas. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  10. Research 50/50 method for drop weights. Deep divers on braid can get down further than mono. 5 colors will go 5-7' per color depending on speed (2.0 - 5' , 1.5 - 7') you can always add weight to achieve greater depth if needed. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  11. Just start simple and work extra rods into your spread as you get comfortable. There is no definitive recipe for success. We're all continuously learning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  12. Yes!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  13. If your fishing for eyes too, spool some braid on a couple reels for running sticks off the boards. 2 5 colors wouldn't hurt either, but you have to get comfortable running that spread. Again, I like a four Rod spread to keep it simple. That way when I hook a fish, I can turn quickly and go back through the same school and get another. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  14. Use the south launch, it's much better. I believe they are both getting some work done to improve for this year so we will see Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  15. 1000' of wire on two reels. 30# maxima chameleon or your monofilament of choice on two reels. Be sure you tape the wire to the spool to prevent slipping. You will get years of use from these setups and you can adjust your leader to the target species using back to back uni knots on the 30# mono reels. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  16. Pm'ed you Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  17. And your magda pro reels are fine. I'm going on 6 or 7 years with mine. A convector just has one more ball bearing and some stainless trim. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  18. Just run a four Rod spread. Two wire divers and two riggers. You can turn on fish quicker and you will have less headaches. Just like Capt Vince said, keep it simple and you will make the most out of your bites and ultimately enjoy your learning curve. If you start deploying all kinds of junk lines on a small boat, you will have a mess with a feisty spring king when it gets near the boat. Trust me on this!!!

  19. All of may is primetime for kings. April to early May is killer for lake trout. 50+ fish lakers per day is not uncommon. I would suggest booking a charter with one of the many experienced and capable captains out of the ports of Wilson or Olcott, and you will not only catch the fish you're after, but if you pay attention, you will gain the knowledge you seek to be successful on your own.

  20. My buddy uses an old $400 three wheeler on early ice. Does just fine Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  21. Torpedo 19 strand has done well for me. Easy to cut the pigtails or kinks and retie on the fly. I have 1000' (minus the cuts) on 4 reels going into their 6th year of use. I'm not aware of any bulk spools though Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  22. You were definitely doing something wrong. This will be my 6th season on 4 of my diver rods spoiled with 1000' of 19 strand torpedo wire. I only trim off 10-15' of pigtailed wire each spring, use Fish Doctors wire line knot with an overhand knot to seat the tag end and I'm good for another year.

  23. 235,000 jobs added last month. REDUCED the national debt by $60 billion. He's actually doing what he said he would in his campaign (which is unheard of). I am always going to be somewhat skeptical of a president, but I have more confidence in him than any other president we've had in my lifetime ( I missed out on the greatness of Ronald Reagan). Don't be too quick to condemn him based on the removal of 97% of EPA funding. He will be restoring most of that after the PORK is removed. We need to do this in all facets of our government. Not everybody is going to be happy, some will suffer worse than others, but we cannot keep spending money and printing more to make us feel like we're not in the catastrophic debt we are.

  24. Somebody will be winning some autographed photos and hunting video from Jim and Eva Shockey!!! June 4th, 1-5 pm Olcott Fire Hall is the place to be. Still looking for donations of any kind!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  25. Depends how far your trailering. I drive 5-6 hrs away to camp and fish. Before I go, I will be checking the bearings Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
