  1. 15 million world wide died from Covid. My brother, sister-in-law, and best friend became extremely sick from it. How is that BS?
  2. Exactly right. I did get a hit on DR down 70 but ended up losing that fish.
  3. Started 4pm in 140ft after meeting nice guy at launch who told me where he and his son had success. 42 degrees down around 85. Marked a lot of bait and fish 30-40 feet down. Had a rigger with spoon and a cheater down about 70. 18lb came on the cheater. Could not get meat on downrigger or spoon on copper to work so put out a 10 color core with NBK spoon and caught 22lb salmon on that along with a smaller one. Ended 5-6. Quit fishing at 7:30
  4. Solo afternoon trip. Headed out and wasted a lot of time fishing 200 to 350. Was a desert so trolled towards shallower water. Caught a dink on a free slider but then caught decent fish on bottom spoon on DR set at 70 feet. My DR meat rig did nothing so replaced it with 325 copper with Mag seasick spoon. As soon as I put rod in holder planer board started to go backwards and landed another nice salmon. Lost one on spoon on DR set at 100. Felt decent till it spit the spoon.
  5. Started fishing around 6am. Saw plenty of boats which I took as a good sign. Based on info decided to slip past most of the fleet and headed out to deeper water. Took our first hit on meat rig off downrigger 90 feet down. Always good to get that first fish when you’re taking other people out. Little while later took our second fish on the other rigger 70 feet down- a small king. The third fish came on a hit to our diver rod with FF. Last fish of day came on 10 color with spoon mag NBK, nice bow. Ended day around 9:30. My friend, and his father who came over to visit his son from S.Korea had a blast. Fleas were worst I’ve seen on Lake O. Had about a ten inch long strand of them on my wire dipsy rods. Thanks to the guys who offered info. Much appreciated!
  6. Taking a friend and his elderly father out early tomorrow morning. We won't have a ton of time due to other commitments to find fish. Wondering if I should start out 100-120 feet or go out deeper. Plan is to fish one DR with meat rig, other with a spoon, two wire divers- one with FF and other with spoon, one 325 copper and one 10 color core both with spoons. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
  7. Did anyone fish out of the Oak this afternoon? Kept hearing these sounds like cannons going off. Only fished a few hours and caught a couple small kings. Little dicey out there with all the fog
  8. Comes with base. Never been used. I have three for sale; $25 each. Text 5853626510. Cash and pick up only from Rochester area.
  9. Mount for manual downrigger. Clamps to gunwale or transom. Works with Lake Troll, Easi-troll, Sport troll, and Mini-Mag Cannon downriggers. Clamp opens up maximum of 2 inches. Asking $50 text 585-362-6510
  10. My mom had to go to work to support us as my father’s business closed. Sending women back to the kitchen is not the answer, and it was their work in the factories that helped our country win WW II. Also they have a right to a career just like a man. Part of the problem is it is very difficult to make ends meet on one salary. Yes, you are right that society has changed and not always in a good way, a subject we could discuss for days. As far as bringing god back this is still a very religious country compared to other western countries like Canada, England, etc. And as far as violence, there is plenty of that in the bible.
  11. Strange, no one has mentioned sailboats yet. Those are the guys that get to me. They seem to purposely cut in front of you when you're trolling even when you and them are the only boats around for miles. But I think Whaler got it right. Most just don't know any better........ as they run past you and wave......
