Olcott 7/7
jpiatkowski replied to Al-slamminhogs's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Thanks for the update!!! I am heading out early tomorrow morning. I have had poor luck lately so I hope your info helps me out!!!! -
I use 10# weights and do not have to increase my gain at all. Factory settings SHOULD take that into consideration. Now, if your speed is 2.7 or higher you may way to increase the gain or adjust your transducer angle. Your weight and probe may be almost outside the angle of the transducer??? My probe was brand new last year and the battery connections were not PERFECT. Just saying....there should be zero movement once you snap those batteries in. Mine were not perfect and I lost signal all the time.

I have had the exact problem. 1st thing I did was replace the batteries. This appeared to fix the problem. When I noticed that it was still sending intermittent signals I looked closer at the battery pack to find that all 4 batteries were not snapped into place correctly. They APPEARED to be in place. But if I pushed on the batteries they were not snapped in correctly. In order to correct this I wrapped all 4 batteries with electric tape TIGHTLY. Haven't had a problem since. If this is not the problem, call the manufacturer and they will walk you through re-setting the gain back to factory settings.

I worked same area, same presentation until about 9:30 am. 2 nice kings. Riggers set at 60-65 and divers about 40' down. One king caught on each. Looks like I missed the hot time of 10 am. -

I tried 60-230 FOW today in front of Olcott. Nothing. People talking on the radio had same report. -
Fished inside 40 FOW this morning with J-Plugs and Rapala's. Nothing. Switched over to spoons and got 1 Steelhead 30 down in 40 fow on the diver. Still very slow. Glad I had great company with me!!

Olcott Fog????
jpiatkowski replied to jpiatkowski's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Ok. Thanks for the update!! -
Does anyone know how far from shore the fog extends this morning? I'm courageous enough to pass through it but not courageous enough to stay in it and fish. I've heard those tanker horns a little too close before.
