Had my son aboard sunday afternoon, and we bass/tiger fished the north end all afternoon and you did better than we did! I threw a spinnerbait Ive had a few tigers on and had one follow that was rather small. We didn't do anything on bass, but they had a tournament all morn...Otisco is humbling sometimes. I trolled to the north end to get there and got another brown and a smb...trying for bass and tigers...go figure...Im a much better troller than a caster at Otisco, but either way you earn em all! justin

Nice work, and a good read. Sometimes a great sunrise is more better than fishing. Justin Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

had a ball this morn, and so did dallas the boy in the pick. Had fellow LOU member tim (rnsurfnturf) working boards and matt n dallas running riggers and core. I just sat behind the wheel with a smile keeping my thread going. Just love putting hardworking fishermen like them on fish. Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did this weekend! And most of all thanks Tracy for making my passion a reality! Justin Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Kevin, your posts got me to try my riggers with blacks and deep cranks! Got my biggest eye of the weekend using my riggers after I had given up on them. Just a 5 pounder but fun with the short setback.. Thought I better post the pic your way! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Otisco has been flat, but we rode 3+ footers thru the causeway last nite...little hairy...didnt even get to troll after taking the boy bass fishing... Justin Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Best setup was 5 color core chrome with green stripe and black eye it took 3, perch spoon got 1 off rigger at 27, foil perch tdd11 at 30 took the nicest at 17-18". Missed 2-3 too...I hope they werent eyes! All but 1 badly hooked fish released. This is a common morn trying for eyes. I dont bring em in the boat. Come on rain blow over...we're ready to get back out! Justin Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Slept in this morn and didnt get out till 630. Had a good brown bite this morn with lead core n spoons doing most of the work...2.5 gps...picked up to 3-3.3 as it warmed up...picked up 1 eye at 11 on my way in...22 inches Sent from my SPH-L710 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Checked the tide chart....sunday and monday are perfect for slack tide and a minus tide at daybreak...bass will be in the canal....I was there for a big june blitz this year....everybody caught....sounded like bowling balls being dropped from the bridge....makes me wanna load the fishing bikes right now! Jig all night top water plugs in the am...anybody that hasnt seen it check it out on you tube...best thing you can do with a rod reel with ur clothes on! Man im fired up thinking about it...

Good luck to everyone headed to Waneta...water temps are gonna make releasing tough. Im bringing ice to Otisco for the net if we get into em... justin

Nice job on the eyes this morn, but I like seeing those big st Lawrence walleyes on your grass...lol On my way out the door for the weekend...let you know how I do with the blacks...have a good weekend Kevin. justin

I do the cape cod canal in june...had a great blitz my last morn this year...burned out a reel...what a rush...love those stripers...best thing out there for food or fight. Good luck! Some good morning tides at the canal end of this weekend I believe if memory serves. East end with waders at slack. Last I knew the outer cape is pretty tough with the seals and sharks I don't go to Race point or Nausset anymore. Now I do the last moon tide in may and first in june if I can. Justin

nice fish and good report! justin

I think Ill be in good shape next time around...thanks Capt. Larry I like the glossy eye trick, and Im ready with the hose and mat. Tracy and I were joking that we'll probably never get another now that we are prepared. Most of our tigers don't come in the boat anyways and its only been 2 fish that we've struggled with, but I like to get a routine so things go smoothly, and a routine that works with any size fish is what I was after. justin

I got myself a couple blacks releases, a couple lures to replace what the tigers tore up, and more flouro for leaders, as Im going through several a day. The Blacks are a big upgrade over the pinch pads by the looks! Sure looks like Ill be able to drag just about anything with them if they are tightened down. My question Kevin is how do you set your tension on them? Im sure I can do it trial and error on the water, but id like to set them with a spring scale at home for a starting point. I was thinking around 3 lbs for a deep stickbait on walleye. If nothing else I have a whole box of stuff Ive always wanted to try on riggers that pulled to hard for pinch pads so I guess even if I cant catch walleyes on them Ill have plenty to keep me busy all weekend just trying. Ill have 3+ on the boat all weekend so we'll be running 9 rods and I can get a lot more creative with these releases. 1 more day...cant wait!! justin
