Set downrigger weight down on the botom and troll along can be a lot harder to do in the fingerlakes with the steep drop offs but the idea is to stir up the mud attracting fish. Problem being since the intruduction of zebra mussels it can make a mess out of your rigs. Back in the 80s we used to drag copper along the bottom with victrolla reels and large Suttons of phlugar spoons old timers called it making corn rows. Nothing beets handling a large lake trout off the bottom on single strand copper wire. I still use old window weights as downrigger weights when I'm in close dragging bottom helps keep my rigs of the bottom but keeps them close.

I like it there the people are friendly. I only kept my boat there for the last month and a half but plan to be back next year. I didn't get my new to me boat until the 1st part of September. As far as changing my port name I couldn't figure out how to do it. I struggle enough just posting things to the site. I've tried numerous times to become a pro member and always get lost. I had to open a new a count on my cell phone because I forgot my password Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Water is dropping as we speak and will really drop in the next few weeks. They have removed the bouys from the north end of the lake to prepare to drop the lake level. I keep my boat at frontenac marina and they called me Friday to tell me it was time to get it out or I might not be able to Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes made me happy to not get skunked. I really couldn't have asked for much more. Kind of a trial day today. It suck I'm gonna have to put the boat away 3 weeks after getting it. Oh well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Slow. Stayed north today fished out front of deans cove from about 11 am until about 3. We caught 3 fish. All fish came on flasher fly combos color white was the ticket. Marked a ton of fish suspended between 30 and 90 ft of water over depths as deep as 250 ft. Not a seller day but had a good day. Today was the first trip with my new to me boat. So spent a lot of time learning things about the boat. Will have the boat in the water until last week of hollowed so hopefully will get some more time in in the next few weeks.

Anyone on here have a sea ray sundancer that they have rigged I would love to see some pictures. I am in the final process of purchasing one. I know it isn't optimal fishing boat but think it will meet my needs for both fishing and cruising. Thanks in advanced. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would also like to give a big thanks to LOU member 58 johnson. He was willing to go get his boat and then come get me and tow me to the launch. He wasn't even out on the water. Thank you a gain sir Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for the encouraging words. I definitely know it can always be worse. Should have known it was coming the last 3 times we have been out have been stellar. I know one thing I'll never leave a stranded boat I'd tow anyone. The amount of times I've been towed in far out number the amount of times I've been doing the towing.

I looked at all 3 the garmin lowrance and humminbird and think I'm going to go with lowrance or garmin. I have been hearing a lot of bad comming from the lowrance about them just shutting off. The bass pro shop was all Garmin and basically said you are wasting money with anything else. Looked at the echo map 7sv Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What is everyone useing for a fish finder. In the process of rigging a new to me boat and would like to put some new electronics on it. I have about 500 to spend on it. I've always used hummingbird but I am not afraid to try something different. Any help would be great. Would like it to have built in gps to.
