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

Sk8man , What sensitivity settings do you have your unit on to show the downrigger weights that well ? I’ve got the same unit and can’t seem to find that sweet spot. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice catch ! I was up on the north end and it was all lakers for us. Fog definitely made things interesting to start Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Do you have any more of these for sale? Id like to get some for this weekend if possible. I live in Syracuse so i could come pick them up. Thanks!

I've got plenty of trips booked haha ...just a slow learner apparently ... maybe if you put us on less fish i would have more time to ask questions lol

sean- Thank you very much for the information ! This very helpful. I think we were too deep for a majority of the day ( with some other mistakes that im not aware of). Thanks again, Alex

Got out to owasco this am and started out about half way down the lake on the west side. Trolled up and down the lake , middle and near Shore and tried every color and size spoon in the box.... ended up with one dink laker. This isn’t the owasco that I remember. Was anyone else out there this weekend that did any better ? Lake was definitely very cloudy from all the rain this past week. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thats great to hear! i was a little concerned with how light they are. We'll be out there Wednesday morning so ill keep an eye out for ya.

Had similar issues over at owasco this morning. trolled for 3 hours without a rod to fire when last week went 4-7 in 3 hrs. Had a few bites but nothing was hanging on.

Great report and catch ! thanks for the information! Are you fishing out of a starweld? Ive been looking at those and was wondering how they handle the larger waves up there?

That's a gorgeous fish !! Ive had one hit my entire life on skaneateles that was identical to the way he described it in the article, only to have it last about 5 seconds before snapping my 10 lb test line. There definitely out there and if you put the time in you'll get your shot at it. I went out there Friday night and ended up working 2 Lakers to the boat that were down 60 ft between 18-20 inches... so essentially dinner for this fish.!

great report and even better looking fish. If the weathers not just right for ontario ill definitely be heading there this weekend !

We started trolling at the north end in about 110 fow and right off the bat caught a real nice laker ( pictures to come later). After that it was silent for the rest of the morning. Ended up going for bass around 9 am and caught tons of rock bass. Overall not the best day but the laker definitely made things better.
