You didn't happen to find my gander mountain rod with a penn spin fisher 750ssm and green power pro?

Thanks Gokudl3

I only go through a pack when I go out for the weekend but I was hoping to get some from the store or something brine it like eggs seen a bunch of different ways on the web and have enough for a few weekends and cut a few dollars.

You don't think it's worth the trouble? Stick to flies,spoons,ect. Idk in my experiences live or dead bait almost always prevails until I bust out the fly rod

I am trying to cut down on the cost of buying herring. Does anyone know where I can buy fresh herring at a grocery store or bait shop and I can get a deal or brine it myself? Thanks for any replies

That's another thing I have been adjusting I have the drag set tight to where I have to give it a good tug to pull line out. I have a lund 16 ft not really the ideal Lake Ontario boat but we have two penn fathom master riggers off the sides. I felt the tug and fought it for about a minute and it came up without my bait head broke right under where I pinched my last sleeve on my cut bait rig also when I made this one I added a bead with a glow blade in the front. This was the only one I had action on also have the lowarance elite 5 dsi and it was marking well this happened.

I have read many things about how far I should be setting what I'm running off my ball. I currently have two 12 pound torpedo shaped weights and been running them 15' off the ball with a flasher and fly or cut bait rig. I have a few dodgers but haven't used them much, been sticking to the flashers more. We headed out of Wilson and olcott the past two weekends. We been staying in the 80-120fow and save everywhere we mark fish but have been unsuccessful in hooking up. I had a hook up for sure but I made my own cut bait rig and tightened the sleeves to hold the glow baits and must have damaged the line because it snapped off in about two minutes. But any helpful tips for distance between the flasher and ball or what I could be doing wrong. Also we don't have a kicker only an electric trolling bow motor 55 thrust or run our motor idle between 2.4-3mph and troll with the waves

We went out Sunday but it went from choppy water to some real big rollers didnt have any luck running a green glow flasher with with a dreamweaver DW-Plug with a herring strip in it and off the other rigger a white crushed wonder bread flasher and with a cut bait plug no luck. Ended up getting two 12 pound torpedo weights and have been heading out of olcott running 75 down in 90ft marked scattered fish when we came in a guy that must of came in way earlier who was a real talker said for every 6 boats 1 were on fish. He said at the ledge on the bar there was a 30ft area that was just stacked with fish but alot of boats and the water was even worst there. Looking into temp probes now right now just going off the fuzzy line where our fish finder says. -Jonah
