X2 - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

As far as my spools go, there's room for more cable then you'd ever want to wind on!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm still pretty new to the game, but was told by a good friend with experience to run 2 riggers and 2 dipsys to start with and get the hang of it. I think it was a really good tip... I definitely tangled, mishaps and got frustrated just running that much. Also, depending on the weights you choose and current, you're gonna get some blow back. I've had my 10 lbs weights out 175-185 for lakers before. So definitely 200' of wire. I just respooled one rigger with 300' so I can snip a reterminate if I get a fray or pigtail. Got some 13 lbs weights for this season, I have manual Penn riggers on my boat so hopefully I won't have to put them out that far and crank em back in again! Penn riggers have a mounting plate they slide on and off. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yes the bouys are visible, through the channel and all the way out. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

Drove by it Friday night, closed. You couldn't even see the cleats above the water. Launched out of Stony creek Saturday and the piers were an inch or so above the waterline. That was a nice sight. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Went out for a quick evening troll off the finger. Launched out of Stony. Skunk. Used a fish hawk TD when we got there. The temps where a steady decline from the surface to the bottom. Marked bait pods towards the end of our evening, 60-90 down over 130ish. No big marks. On the way out we had come across marks down 60-80 over 90ish. Should've slowed to see what the graph looked like. On the way in we saw the same thing, so we slowed down to get a better read and marks continued invluding small bait pods. Should've fished there? Who knows! Just wanted to throw an update on here. Happy Father's Day to all those dads out there! Tight lines. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

You end up having any luck today? I'm going out tomorrow, don't know where I wanna launch yet. An update would be greatly appreciated. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

Thought the same thing!!! Just didn't comment! It must be genetics, big ones on jigstick! 🤣 - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

I used Amish snubbers last year... my brother hung up the weight and the rubber pulled out of the zip tie but spectra held and he and my dad retrieved everything. Very happy about that! He tried to repair it, but couldn't. I just picked up 2 more. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

CK3080 It's all good, I'll make him up some new lettering for his next one... The Craptastic or something!!! Also, now I'll miss my chance to put a poo emoji or mr. hanky on the bow at night. I was planning too! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Got off the phone with the DEC a little bit ago... good looks and advice Sk8man! The provision for salted minnows are for people/companies with commercial bait fish licenses. Personally salted minnows fall under "dead bait fish" regulations and can be used only on the same body of water, within the travel corridor just like fresh bait that went belly up. I was told that this was done because some people were salting in such a way that it killed the viruses and some people weren't effectively getting it done.

The language seems to say that in order to be "commercially processed" it needs to be labeled with 4 items: the packager/processor name, species name, quantity, and curing process. It mentions nothing about having to be bought or sold. I'll try to copy and paste it when I get some time on the computer. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Oh boy! Thanks Les. Will do. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
