  4. You can get meat rigs and flies directly from the Atomik site. Spoons are definitely tough right now there are a few people in the classifieds that can paint what you need. You check the spoon manufacturers sites directly?
  5. Man's got to know his limitations lol. Had my 5th surgery two years ago in September, they tried to insert a spinal stimulator in May and couldn't get it through my scar tissue, just glad to get out on calm days.
  6. After watching the weather and surface temperature for a few days we decided to start out deeper than we normally do.Friday morning we set up at 300 foot temperature was high and so was our gear trolled north to 500. We had a new crew member this trip my buddies 9 week old red heeler. Wind picked up out of the east and it got pretty rough. I have a bad back and having the puppy on board we decided to pull around 10:30 did ok landed around 10 fish. Mostly a spoon bite. Saturday morning we set up at 200 riggers at 40,50 and 60 wire divers at 100 and 140 north south troll trolled out to 400. Spoons and white Oki, white glow meat rig were firing consistently. Threw out the ten color and a gator and it started doing it's thing. Boxed four decent kings and released another 10. Couple steelhead. Pulled at 11 to give the puppy a break. Saturday afternoon got on the water around 3:30 and decided to check the inside set up in 120 was quite for awhile. Trolled out out to 350 and turned back south. Water was changing, again. Headed east and marked the first good bait we had seen around 220 feet. We landed a few smaller kings and between 6:45 and 7:15 we went 5 for 6 between 220 and 200. Sunday morning set up in 150 and got a nice steelhead right after we set up and a small king. Got into a bunch of skippy's.Noticed some boats hanging in the skinney water so we decided to head east and check it out. White Oki with meat fired nice king, our two face paddle with a fly hadn't done anything so I put down the Oki bullfrog with meat dropped it to 180 on a three setting on a Chinook, ten minutes later it's screaming. Couple minutes later our 10 color with a gator gets buried. While we're fighting those two fish three other rods go off but don't hook up. 170 foot of water everything is firing, riggers 40,50 70, wire rods 180, 200 and the lead core Land the double and reset head back east and continue to have a consistent pick in 170 on the east to west troll. Double again and the rain starts boxed out.
  7. Just texted my buddy your post asked if him if was interested in talking you out his reply "definitely ". Don't know exact dates we going to be there but I'll message you my information. We'll be going out of the oak.
  8. Got a few things to finish on the boat but when it's good be willing to help you out too. Had people help me learn willing to pay it forward. Or I would be open to going out with you. I'm fishing with a buddy next week I'll share this post with him and see if he has room.
  9. Hit the water around 1:30, with my son, daughter in law and a good buddy. Set up in 130 right in front of port and headed on a north troll. Meat on center dropped it down to 140 and had 49 on the probe. Marking fish and bait Got to 180 and our 10 color fired with a bite me Elmo spoon. Another steelhead in 240 on the meat bullfrog oki and a shenster. Little while later I see the meat rod jumping and my son grabs it. Something isn't right, steelhead took our 450 copper and shot right down in to the center rigger. Never took any drag off the reel, copper looked like a cat's cradle, handlined the steel head in. Headed back on a south east troll and picked up two small kings on meat. 120 down over 130. Turn east and start seeing bait and marks. Dropped our next 5 fish three on the ten colors. Put a uv 8in bullfrog paddle with a uv 190 and it takes a rip gone. Put it back down 2 minutes nice fish on dropped it. I'm not the smartest guy but I think might want to hit that mark again. Bang same rig fires again. Teenager. Ended up 7-12 great father's day.
  10. Todd thats one way for sure. You can also watch the reports on here and many of the local captains post information on there pages on where and what's working for them. Pay attention to the weather for a few days before your trip, because the wind can change everything very quickly. Wind change temperature and the thermocline with a consistent hard blow. Somedays you'll catch a lot of fish without a lot of bait. Bait is a huge factor that being said.
  11. They bite during the eclipse? Few years ago I was fishing with my son and when it started the fish shut down.
  12. Couldn't make the drive up for the meeting anyone have any information on what the DEC had to say about the trawl study?
  13. If throw them away I'll send you my address. Lol
  14. Guy I fish with has a Tohatsu it's been great the 5 years I have been fishing with him, I have a Nissan same story.
  15. Have seen some reports of a few kings being boated. Been checking surface temps, what temperature on the west end (Niagara) over the years starts the good fishing?
  16. Copperpin think you're missing the high level of sarcasm in his posts.
