Yeah the boat traffic is definitely picking up at an earlier time. People were waterskiing within 30 yards of us at 9am ... the boat traffic seems to cause the fishing ( especially for silvers) to shut down very quickly Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks for the report Mako! We ended up going out that saturday and ran our program through the 40-60 ft of water and couldn't buy a fish. Talked to a guy at the launch who did really well with the Lakers trolling the bottom. Has the rainbow/salmon fishing declined in recent years or is it just me? It seems like big rainbows were "easier" to come by in years past. Have you noticed similar things?

Hey guys , thinking of keeping it close and going to Skaneateles. Anyone been out there recently ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Fished from 530am - 10am. Went 1-2 and that one was a small 6 lb king. Fished 80FOW to 200 FOW and threw the kitchen sink at them with little success. Moved in to try for browns and thats when we caught the king ( 55' down, 70FOW). We were in the process of picking up for the day when the rigger fired....

Good to know. When they give the width ranges, are those pretty accurate ? It seems crazy they can accommodate almost an 8" swing in width with the same cover.

Thanks for the suggestion! Just checked out their website and it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Not looking for anything super fancy , just wanna get out of the sun Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Does anyone who has or had a Tracker Targa have a bimini cover for their boat? if so where did you get it ? I'm having a hard time finding a place to get one. Thanks!

Nice work ! were you on the south end ? I was out there trolling more of the middle section of the lake and we didn't mark much of anything ( mostly east side south of brutis) Got 1 small brown.

Has anyone launched at Emerson park recently on owasco or at the state launch on skaneateles? Wasn't sure when they were going to put the floating docks in at skan.

Very nice ! I’m glad to see the silvers starting to become active ! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Great points and the screenshots help as well. Thanks again for the pointers. Once this weather decides to break I’ll be trying out the adjustments. ! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

thanks everyone. Ill check the transducer and increase the scroll speed to see if that works.

I currently have a Lowrance Elite 7 and I've tried many different settings but cannot seem to get the sonar to show nice arc's and the downrigger weights. Does anyone have any tips for what settings are optimal for trolling ? Thanks, Alex

Awesome. Thanks guys !
