    In line boards- necessary Modification.

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I must be an idiot (no comments), I have those Sam's releases and can't get them to release properly to save my life. Everyone loves them, but me, which means I'm the problem. LoL

    I modified my boards with the Sam's releases and was having the same problem in the beginning. The little screw that is used for adjustment is extremely sensitive. Just a partial turn on the screw can make the difference. I also used to use the key ring but they work perfectly fine laying on their side. OR 16 on the back, slack in the braid between release and pinch pad. Just thought I'd share, I was really over doing it with the adjustments at first.

    Olcott 7/1

    Fished east of harbor in 230’ to 270’ feet. Caught a bunch of fish and some decent Kings but nothing over 20 lbs. We got a few in the 18 to 19.5 pound range. Most of our fish were caught 70’ to 90’ feet down but most of our gear was that deep. I just didn’t like temp on Fish Hawk until it was that deep. A bunch of stuff caught but here is what our biggest fish were caught on.

     

    1) 42nd spoon on a dipsey set on 1 out 190’ was good, we lost two screamers on that.

     

    2) White Holo Spin Doc with a blue fly out 190’ on a 1 caught our biggest fish, 19.5 lbs.

     

    3) White double crush Spin Doc with a white fly on a dipsey our 259’ on 3.

     

    4) Purple Glow Frog on a free slider on a 90’ rigger.

     

    Once we caught the fish on the slider we realized we were fishing under some fish as well. A couple pics.

    Fished Olcott today from 1:30 to 6:30, 90+ feet down was where I finally found water 52 degrees or colder. Fleas were a PITA and biting flies were actually drawing blood.  There is a lot of weed mats inside of 225' had to constantly clean lines. Finally decided to get out toward 300 and the temp was better (50 down 80) and the weeds were not as bad out there.  Meat took three, NBK on a rigger down 90' took two and a frog spin doctor and green crinkle fly took two. No big guys, all between 5 and 10 pounds. Flies got so unbearable we pulled at 6:30.  Back in the morning - somewhere. Anybody launched at Wilson lately?  Can you walk out docks to get in boat or is it still launch with somebody in boat and drive over to floating docks?

    I too have seen dipsy rigged backward.

     

    More than once I've seen people set the dipsey on 3R but not realize the "R" is not as you're looking off the stern, amazing how far a dipsey set wrong can run across the back of the boat and grab everything in its way.

     

    I failed to tell one guy that when you release the fish you don't through the boga grip back with it, it's not a parting gift.  

     

    Trying to cheat two spin doctors and flies on the same rigger....not a great idea.  

     

    When tilting the kicker motor up so we can run back to port on the main, its best to take it out of gear and shut it off first lol.  

     

    I had a rookie on one day and he was insistent he would kill a lamprey and throw it overboard while I reset the rod. Six days later our garage stunk so bad you could hardly stand it. For the life of me I couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from, then I found it. A six day old lamprey in the splash well has quite an odor.  I thought my wife was gonna make me sell the boat...and tear down the garage. 

     

    Lost a kings ransome in gear but had a lot of fun.....glad those days are over and we NEVER do anything stupid anymore...lol.

    Fished Olcott today from 6:30 to 12:30. Ended up with 12, 10 kings and two steelhead. We lost one other king at back of boat. We fished 200 to 300 fow but our best fishing was between 200 and 250. Ran up about half way between red barn and Wilson and trolled east almost to the plant. Best fish was 22.5 lbs, a couple mid teens and a few more 10 pounds or so. Here is what caught:

     

    Our spoon rigger down 70' with an NBK and then a mixed veggie caught a couple dinks.

     

    300 Copper with a Mountain Dew spin doctor and matching A-Tom-Mik fly caught two 6 lb steelies. Same rig caught a 10 pound king when we switched it to meat.

     

    White on white spin doctor with a 42nd fly behind a dipsey set on 1 back 150 caught a low teens king.

     

    White green dot spinny and a pro-am fly on a dipsey set at 3 back 160' caught all the other fish. That was our best rig for sure.

     

    Fished with my brother and two of my boys, kids had a blast, great day out with family.

    300 Copper Combo

    Okuma 8'6" Classic Pro Copper/Leadcore rod with an Okuma Convector CV 55 L reel spooled with backing and copper. I bought this combo brand new so I don't know how much backing is on it but reel is full. It still has the tags on it, never been fished. I bought two, only want one so the other needs to go. $125 and buyer pays shipping if it needs to be shipped. I am located in Niagara County. IMG_0334.JPGIMG_0336.JPGIMG_0338.JPG
