Launched out of Myers today at about 830 unfortunately got a late start. I hadn't heard much about fishing mid lake lately so decided to start south of Aes and fish our way north. Set up originally about a mile north of Myers in about 240 ft of water. Didn't Mark much out deep so moved in and glad we did. Marked tons of fish with bait 40 ft down over 70 to 80 ft of water. Set up shop there and caught 6 or 7 fish in 2 hrs of so. All fish came on dipsys divers out 160 with spindoctor fly combo. No fly out fished about her. Seemed any thing behind a flasher caught fish. All fish were Lakers in the 3 to 4 Lb range. Spent some time there and the weed seemed to blow in so we moved across the lake and started fishing south. Fished from Kidders back to T. Falls with simmaler screens. The 30 to 60 ft range seemed to hold most of the fish. Caught a hand ful more fish and then finished the day with a beautiful landlock about 4 lbs just south of T falls. Same thing all flasher fly bite. Anyway packed up the boat and headed back to Myers. Unfortunately boat broke down just out side the soot and I had to be towed back to the dock. Over all not a bad day. Weeds were bad on the east side and fleas were annoying but manageable on the west. Good luck out there. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Heading for Cayuga tomorrow wondering if any one has any good starting points after all the torrential rain. Will be heading out of Myers. I've seen some people been having luck up north long point and deans cove. Wondering if any reports coming from mid lake. AES, kidders area or if running north is my best option. Gonna have a new guy on the boat hoping to show him what this trolling thing is all about. Thanks in advance will report after will report after trip. Thanks again.

Heading out tomorrow wondering if the lake has settled down from all of the rain. Any starting points greatly appreciated been a couple of weeks since my last trip. Will post report after tomorrow. Thanks in advanced Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The biggest thing with any emergency is to give detailed info to dispatch and if your out on the water with a time sensitive emergency is to let dispatch know what emergency is and where you are headed. I would find it very hard to believe that there are not contigincy plans in effect to take care of emergencies. I'm not from the area but I know in my area even just something a simple as a temporary road closure is relayed to dispatch and then alternate routes are planned in case emergencies are dispatched Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I've been in the emergency services for many years and am currently 16 yrs into a career with the city of Norwich fire dept. As a full time fire fighter Critical Care emt. Rest assured if there was a problem the resources needed to help the person in need would get to them. Locks don't stop us. And if it was bad enough I'm sure a jursey barrier wouldn't stop us. The most important thing is to give detailed information to the 911 dispatch when you call. That gets all of the right resources started. I'm also sure that the closed ramps and access points are not a secret to the local agency's and they have made alternate plans if a problem was to arise.

Bring rig back up and reset rig. Release goes on the ball or close to the ball if using a inline release like Blacks releases. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes angle across top ft of line down left side. True depth in the middle Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If you don't think that you are fishing the right depths blowback was the culprit like stated above. Here is a chart to help understand the blow back. hope this helps downriggers defiantly have a big learning curve. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
