Thanks everyone! It’s truly great! Was out the past few days, with my kids and cousins... did some damage on the perch. Got over 100 total. Best haul, yesterday, 72. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

Since I was little my family always called it the green boat. I had extra vinyl from lettering my other boat and thought, why not! Everyone that knows the boat knows it as such, and now you do too! Lol!!! - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

Yes I’m at Morgia’s, been here since I was born. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

For your rigger rods, you can strip off enough line to put on 200’ or so of 30lbs test... just what you’ll drag through the water column while attached to your rigger. If it’s a diver set up, you’re going to want to go with wire. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

This has been a long time coming, but I’ve finished the major repairs and upgrades on a 1966 aluminum Starcraft my grandfather left me when he passed. I grew up fishing in this boat around Henderson Bay and the Black River Bay with my grandpa and family. It’s such a sight to have it moored in front of the cottage once again, waiting for it’s next outing. New floor, paint job, new used engine with controls and electric start. An older depth finder from another upgrade on my other boat. I gave it a sea trial this afternoon and all is working and ready to go. Can’t wait! - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

Good, bad, ugly... Out this morning got to trench around 7:15. Trolled from the pill boxes past the mountain. 44 degrees down 90 ft. 1 skippy and 2 releases with nothing home. Spoon and flasher fly. Picked up and headed towards finger, found fish hugging bottom in 90 fow on the finger, dropped down for them, 52 degrees, no one wanted to play. Picked up and headed out to finger, 41 degrees down 115. Nothing for us out there. Pulled lines at 11:30. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Reports? Good, bad, ugly? I’m planning on going out in the morning. Will report whatever happens out there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

There it is, looks like a finger coming off the lighthouse. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

I’m not an expert (in my 4th season). I was told by my guru to start with 2 riggers and 2 dipsies. Get comfortable with that... deploying, redeploying after a fish and so on. Try to minimize tangles and I’ve had a few!!! Add as you get more comfortable with the spread, on your boat, when you’re in charge. Add a copper down the chute. Take it slow. It’ll come. The above post is a real good one! Good fishin, GBL. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Let's try this... And it worked!!! One of my students had a drone and got a bunch of fly over footage, and we had a gopro for the underwater releases. This is just a little of what we got. I have a photo-media student that is going to do a full year project on TIC next year. Let's hope my results are close to what happened this year!!!

Ok, good to hear. Thanks for the update. And, we got tech’d last year, same spot. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Is that huge log still there? It was near a buoy once you came out of the channel and hit the flats. I haven’t been there in a couple weeks. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

I just realized that I never posted my results of Trout in the Classroom. As I mentioned before, we started with about 150 eggs. I took around 35 students and 4 teachers to the Fishkill Creek in mid-April and released 108 Fingerlings!!! I was shocked by our numbers, I didn't think we'd get that many to survive. I'm excited to try this again! Tried to load a video... didn't work. Will give it a go tomorrow. TIC underwater release.mp4 TIC underwater release.mp4
