  6. Mike gave you awesome advice. I like small spoons on cheaters for bonus rigger bows. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. Beautiful salmon. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  8. If you were near Burtis, I see marks similar to that all the time. Ours are typically lines at a 45 degree angle but only on the Southside of Burtis point. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  9. Awesome story. We hooked a planer board still attached to a healthy lake trout last trip out. The craziest part was the planer board had some zebra mussels on it, must have been there for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  10. Started by leaving work early on Friday with a few friends and heading for the lake. We were greeted with light winds and had our 6 rod spread in by 5PM. By 5:05PM with hooked up with an average laker down about 50 over 160. After landing and resetting the other rigger is screaming and a solid rainbow is summersaulting 10 feet behind the boat. After a long battle we realized we had a small laker on the main spoon and a very acrobatic bow on the cheater which ended in a botched net job and only the laker making it to the boat. Finished the night 4 for 9 while teaching some new guys the ropes. Saturday morning was a different story with rain, wind, weeds and lake gulls bombing us. We ended up 11 for 14 with lakers up to 29 inches and a 25 inch walleye. Sunday we had our spread dialed in and were very excited to hit the water. Lines were in by 6:15 and it was on right away. Small spoons did all the damage with only one fish coming on a FF combo. We had some real excitement when seeing a strange mark on the graph near our shallow rigger, then bam! Drag screaming and we knew we were in for a treat. Ended up hooking a planer board that was still hooked to a fish!!! After fighting the board and fish, we successfully hand lined what seemed to be 75 yards of line. Ended up being a 26 inch laker that was very lively despite the board being covered in young zebra mussels. (Would have to assume it had been under for a while). Finished 8 for 10 by 8:15 with all average sized but hard fighting lakers. Very fun weekend with good action on the riggers Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  13. Hi everyone, I am very familiar, and pretty successful with fishing inline planers, but I'm just tired sick of having to fight the board when I have a nice fish. (cost me several nice Finger Lakes Bows) All of that said, I have the opportunity to get setup with a mast and some big boards. Personally, I have never used them, but it seems much more simple. I have read nearly every thread there is on this forum about using them, and I feel pretty confident but have a few questions. 1. When mounting the mast, how far should your planer line be from the rod tips? I would only have about 3-4 feet max. 2. Would a good board be able to pull 3 coppers up to 300 feet on 1 side(100,200,300)? 3. Do you experience a lot of tangles when deploying shallow lines over top of deeper ones along side the boat? 4. If the fish doesn't trip the release is it easy to see that you have one on? Thanks for your knowledge!
  14. I have a friend who is looking is now hooked on trolling after being on our boat a few times. He is looking to get started with some used gear, mainly some rod/reel combos but really anything if the price is right. Please PM me with what you have, and what you would like for it. Thanks, Alex

  17. I've tried both ways. Customer service tells me it's a voltage issue... I'll check my connections this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
