Does anyone know of the Owasco lake launch closes for the winter? -

Step by step copper and leadcore spooling instructions
greenhornet73 replied to Legacy's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I’ll have to play around with my set-up and see what works better for me. I have one leadcore rig that I have only tried out here and there over the last 2 seasons and haven’t had as much success with it as my other rods. -
I just bought a Piscifun Salis X 300 and with 90yds of 40#braid held 8 colors of lc. I haven’t used the reel yet but it feels solid and smooth. Something to consider since it is a less bulky reel than a 500 or 600 model.

Step by step copper and leadcore spooling instructions
greenhornet73 replied to Legacy's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Doesn’t the long leader defeat the purpose of the leadcore? Why not just use a 3 oz snap weight on braid or mono. I thought more than 15’ of leader loses the ‘whip action’ of the leadcore to the lure. -

Everything aligned for once and I was able to get my first and last trip in on Lake Ontario. The docks are removed from the lighthouse launch but I was able to launch by myself no problem. The rest of the trip went smoothly and had a chance to wash a bunch of plugs and spoons while no fish interupted that effort sadly. I fished between 10-40 fow and found the most marks in the 30’-37’ range but only a couple small pods and that was it. Could have been the fish spooked out of transducer range since I was in skinny water but ran a downrigger, a small diosey and a planer board and traded in a leadcore occasionally. It was a beautiful day to be out, a fish would have made it a perfect trip.

The shore bite for lakers starts in October where you can access steep drop-offs from shore(80’+). The brown and landlocks are usually crashing the surface at that time tight to shore. For many years I always used fresh floating egg sacks and 1 Oz. Egg sinkers and always caught trout. Last couple times I went everyone was using sawbellies and egg sacks were unheard of. Still did my thing and caught lakers when nobody else was moving a rod. The bite continues right into February but never fished later than that because I’m usually fishing through the ice by then.
