    Trolling help

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    I’d strongly advise investing into getting a speed and temp probe as someone mentioned in this thread. In my opinion, it is the single most important tool to have on your boat. There have been times I’ve nearly had to idle my kicker motor to obtain speed. Only to turn the opposite direction Thinking my probe was off and immediately turned back around as the current was so strong. Fish hawk doesn’t lie. Good luck.

    I’m appalled. I’ve had my panther for several years I can’t believe they are blaming you. I detach shifting cable when not in use (While hauling boat) and trim motor up slightly keeping my EZ steer connected to motor. No problems yet thank god. I feel terrible for your loss. BUT...You didn’t get skunked.

    I had an almost identical morning out of I-bay.  2 for 4, a skippy and a high teen king.
     
    I trolled 90fow to 400fow, fish caught and lost all in less than 200fow.  The thermal break you mention extended east of the bay, I almost questioned my probe, as you said it was significant.  I worked it for while with no success.
     
    Overall, marks were few and far between, and most were small…a few streakers/followers.  Bait was scarce, but I did find two large pods in 400fow, but no hooks or marks around them.  I spent a fair amount of time working the area without a hit or seeing more than one hook and it was 150ft down.
     
    Nothing really worked on the fleas, even frequent cleaning of lines.  That “super flea” attaches harder the more you work it, even on 50lb mono….I ended up trimming line to keep fishing.

    Also trimmed our lines. Saved a TON of time.

    Although it's only a prediction, but by the sounds of it, we're going to have a mild winter with the help of el nino. Anyone think this may extend the feeding habits producing bigger fish and a better fishery similar to a few years ago?

    Lol, there used to be a carp derby in the Susquehanna before my time where they cooked and served carp all day. From the one person I know that had tried carp at that derby said it taste like you'd imagine..... not good!

    Same tactic on lake George, using a vexilar. Jigging with large Swedish pimple tipped with minnow. Once you're vexilar shows fish, reel in as fast as possible. Fish deep.
