Great point. I purchased 2 new Cannon dr (Mag 10 Stx) pre spooled with 150lb stainless cable and have had problems with both. What brand are you using

I got two Cannon DigiTroll 5 for 3 years now. Whatever line it came with, probobly 150lb as well.

-----

On old boat I had 2 walkers , probobly made right after WW2 lol. Got them used, never had problem with cables.

In fact I got cable on my prop in tight turn , spool it up on my prop, stall the engine and f@@ked up my gunnel. Cable still in tack 😂😂😂

Also managed to loose a 12lb dr ball and fish hawk sending unit due to "new" cable installed in may[emoji51]

Not sure but it seems that guys with fish hawk the only ones who have problems with cable. Wondering now if sending Unit is the problem some how :/

Any ideas ?

My old riggers had cables that about 10 Years old and never lost a ball ://

I fished Aug 6 & 7 off of PC. Fished deep, 200 to 300 down 80 to 110 ft. Caught 10 steelhead, largest 18 lbs, on a spoon program. Mag bloody nose and carbon 14 did the damage. We need some rain and anything but an east wind to get the salmon going againIMG_0840.JPGIMG_0840.JPG

Sad news

People have to think safe first of all.

Thats why im not going out on my own.

Hey , took little trip to st. Cathrines today. Water is open , boat ramp is accesible as well , but no boats on water. How you think - is it make sence head out this early ?

---

Local Guys fishing from pier , catching some.

So ? How you did ? Any luck ?

Good luck!

This weekend ill be fishing in lindsay (sturgeon lake ) , but ill go to jordan harbour during the week )

Was at bronte last thursday , not many fish there , things are way better at st. Catrines (jordat harbour )

Would recommend to spend extra 30min driving to there

Went out from oakville (bronte rd) , came at 1pm , not much action till 4pm.

Trolled from 50fow to 220fow.

Got two small steelheads , one came on rapala tail dancer 30ft down (flatline ) , another on rigger - yellow/gold spoon 40ft down.

-----

Slow fishing otherwise.

😔

Usualy not.

My boat goes 3.7kmh in idle, when you switch in neutral for 10sec - speed falls to 0.8-1.2 kmh , so there is still tension on lines. If you run heavy spoons or frashers - tangle can happen. Stick baits usialy floats bu nature

---

Just try your combinations and you can work it tangle free

Went out at 9.30 - trolled 30fow , hokked one fish , after 12.00 stopped marking any fish , trolled from 20 to 60fow - nothing.

Went to 170fow , was getting marks on buttom , finaly hooked a lake trout on jigging (no luck trolling ) ,

At 5pm came back to 30fow - marks started to apear , end up getting one more steelhead about 7pm ,

Kind of slow day for me today

-------

Trolled stickbaits (deep ones and shallow ) - flat line 180-240ft out

One line on rigger - 100ft out , 15ft down.

-------

Switching to neutral for 10sec every 5min - lended me the second fish

-------

Bright colors works better , all strikes on baits with yellow and red

Had same story at jordan harbour yestarday

----

I have a sily question - what channels people use on lake ontario ?

Thanks

I would say yes.

49f - dont think one degree makes big difference

---

Still had good marks , but doesnt seems very active

Went out May21 again , and its DEAD

Same tactic , trolled 20-50FOW with speed from 1.6km to 4km - had one strike - nothing else.

----

Will be back saturday

Good one )

You dont need much, there is always a waves even with no wind. ðŸ‘

48F on the surface as my sonar shows ,

Motor is off , usualy im using my ipilot to keep me on the spot , but that day weather was nice with no wind at all

Went out from marina , near jordan harbour , 10$ to launch the boat - pleny of parking - very nice place ,

-----

Trolled 30-45FOW, right on the edge of muddy river stread and clear lake water , 2.5-3.5 kmh , one flatline - 200ft back , one line on rigger - 15-20ft down - 100ft back

-----

5 rainbows ,

2 salmon ,

2 lost (no hook set )

1 snap the line

-----

Was very agressive if you put in neutral - 5sec every 3min, or change depth on rigger 2-3ft up or down

On flatline Let the line out a few feet once a while.

------

No luck on planner boards.

-----

Thats the catch from sunday

Yap

I use that tecnique for lakers on simcoe.

You hang the jig 10fo of the buttom and put the rod in rod holder , boat motion more then enough to make fish interested , as soon as you see fish comes to investigate you start to reel in the line , i dont know why but lakers love to chase it , so you keep the speed fast but letting the fish to close in on it and boom !

Some days they will chase it all the way from 110ft to 20ft.

---

But you got to have a flasher or realtine scope on a side (like my elite 7 )

Thats there you keeping the eyes on

-----

Thats the pic frim last year.

There is fish on the buttom , and my jig on top (and more fish higher )

And on the right is the real time sonar (amplitude scope)

----

Catch ratio is im getting 4 lakers , while guys trolling getting one or two.

Will be keep trying

I guess if i launch the boat in Markham the same fishing techniques apply ? Its closer to my home - so i can spend more time on water ðŸ‘
