we run diawa accudepths for riggers,lead core,and flat lines.

We ran over to the plant,trying to avoid the crowd,went 1 for 5.most action we have had all season.fished from green building to alcan.70 fow out 120 fow.110 to 120 was best.just could not keep them locked up.landed 1 brown.kings we hooked up on ripped out,but then came unbuttoned.green paddles with meat or green flies took all the bites.nothing on j's or spoons.

fish or no fish,4 to 7 footers today and 3 to 6 tomorrow.

thats pretty much been the going rate this year,you will probably get more help and replies if you post in the south shore reports if you are looking for info. for the trench.

is this boat still for sale,have a friend looking for one.

all it takes is one!!!!

Nice job rod,you had more action today by yourself then we have had in a month!!!!

same here,coppers out on otter boats and scotty 1174 releases with shower curtain clips to the backing.

hey pap,i believe green point marina or the other one,cant remember the name on sandy pond is an e-z steer dealer,they may have one in stock.

i feel your pain as far as it being an expensive hobby!!!! we also love every minute we get to spend on the lake.i have spent many hours trolling for lakers also in the fulton chain and raquette,the big difference between adk lakes and the great lake o is current.the adk lakes dont have much if any,so you can get away with using sog on your gps,but like i stated above,i have seen gps speed and down speed be as much as 2 mph difference.i think that is why you are having a tough time.you have the right gear,you are in the right areas,just think your speed is  off,just my 2 cents.1 thing you can try this year to get your speed right is a thumper rod i believe its called,i have never tried one,but i have read thats what they did before probes and i think some guys still use them.you will have to do some research as i am not familiar with them,but i think its just a lead weight with a metal dodger on it and what it does is when your speed is right,you will see your rod tip"thumping"if you go to fast or to slow,you will not see your rod tip"thumping",just something to try this year.i bought my fish hawk through bass pro,every so often they run a special where you get 6 months,with no interest to pay it off,takes the sting out of it a little.did it over the winter and was paid for by the time fishing season arrived or you can look on e-bay for an older fish hawk 840,can probably find one for 100 bucks or so.

gps speed and down speed can sometimes be 2 mph different.i know they are expensive,but worth every penny,i would invest in a probe.

down speed under 2.0 ????

if you are looking for lakers try further north,start at sandy pond and troll north and i would try deeper.start in 120 and work out to 150.drop weight till it hits bottom then bring it up a foot or two.we do that with the rigger without the probe,then send the probe down to match the other rigger.

each or for both????

i paid  that for mine brand new with1 year  warranty.good luck!!!!

hey glen,i have a spare on my boat if you want to try one this weekend.

fleas were not bad in the morning sunday,but they started getting heavy on the wire around noon.we spooled up the rigger rods with 200 ft of 40 lb big game mono and they were clean when we brought them up.fleas never stuck to the 40 lb.
