It comes up really fast, especially if you are tight in 80-90' of water. You can see in above picture how close the contour lines run. Just be careful and pay attention. When the kings start staging they will be tight but you can do fine off the break and not be so nervous. One thing though please pay attention to other boats and try not to pinch someone on the inside as if they are running wire dipsys there isn't time to clear everything. I have been pinched in and locked up a few balls. there also is a hump in the 140' of water a little ways off the mountain that goes to 107' and then drops back down. It doesn't show on the updated map and isn't that big but can really surprise you. I have it marked so I raise my riggers at the last second if I'm running any below 105' of water. Most times I don't worry about the dipsys, I usually run them 100' or higher. One more thing I'd like to point out is running copper. It really works but in my opinion isn't something to run when combat fishing. People are not expecting it and will turn Behind you causing a disaster. I love copper but only deploy when Ive found a pod of my own fish with no boats around. When the trench heats up and there is a ton of boats I sometimes elect not to even run my dipsys if I don't need to, but this is just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Here is a better picture of the mountain or the wall as some call it. It's a great spot to run tight on the break with spoons on the riggers for Brown Trout. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The "mountain" is sometimes called "the wall". I always call it the mountain just because I call the shipping lanes troll the wall. Anyway if you take the 120 or 130 contour from the lighthouse it will take you along the mountain and if you stay on it you will eventually end up at the finger. I should add there usually is some major currents at the tip of the finger Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Mark, I was gonna ask if you also if you still have your Lund Baron or if you sold it. The last I talked with you was when I had my 2 penn Yans for sale at Harbors End a few years ago. This was the one docked near you. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Shaking off a lamprey maybe. Are you running spoons or flasher/fly. I would run one rigger down 115,one at 105 and one down 95, size 1 dipsy, #2 setting...245 the other 275. 400 copper on starboard board, 300 copper with mag spoon port.

I'm out right now, it was bad this morning but starting to lay down. Bad day for me, I've been all over, not marking any fish, temp is down about 50', got a few lakers which surprised me as all our lines are high. My buddy got 2 cohos but everyone else I've heard from is targeting lakers. Im gonna troll back into trench and call it a day, Good luck guys Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I couldn't fish this weekend but talked with a lot of my friends that made it out. Northeast winds have brought in really cold temps, and drove most of the kings to more stable temps, and unfortunately the forecast says it will stay that way til Thursday. We will cross our fingers for this coming weekend. Good luck guys. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

In this picture I'm running a mag dipsy on inside rod at 225' on #2 setting and the longer outside rod is a #1 dipsy with 275' set at 3. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Copper is about 20' per 100' of line out at 2.2 mph, but just like lead core it is directly affected by speed...if you are running 2.8 it won't be as deep. There are charts on copper line to depth that you can Google, Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have this saved in my phone, it should get you close, although I don't believe you are as deep when over 300' of line is out on a #1 with flasher fly, Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
