Yes, be sure to run a high quality ball bearing swivel between your main line and leader. Spoons and flashers to a lot of spinning and twisting that could weaken your line via line twist if you were to do a line-to-line connection. On the business end, I generally run Spro Power Swivels w Coast Locks in sizes 2, 4 or 6 depending on what I’m running (meat rigs vs FF vs spoon). The smaller the better IMO Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Regarding the wash down - I bought a 6-7’ section of 2” (I believe) flexible tubing from the hardware store. When I need to rinse the deck down I fit it over the livewell fill and let er rip (I’ve got a bow well and a stern well, which is convenient). It doesn’t have a ton of pressure, but it’s enough to rinse the blood off in a pinch if you fit your thumb over the end of the tubing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hi Bluegiller, The USCG defines "underway" as follows: Any vessel is not at anchor, or made fast to the shore, or aground. Rules are rules, don't want to see any one get a ticket, or worse.

All, please remember to abide by the cold weather PFD laws effective now until May 1. "Anyone underway in a boat less than 21 feet in length anytime between November 1 and May 1 must wear a securely fastened life jacket. This includes canoes, kayaks, rowboats and motorboats Commercial vessels are exempt. NYS Nav. Law Section 40.1(e)." https://parks.ny.gov/recreation/boating/documents/PFDLawsofNewYork.pdf

Out of Oswego you gain roughly 100' of depth for every mile out. Keep in mind, east end weather can get sloppy in a hurry.

Fair enough.

Guys, let's please remember to be sensitive to naming FLX tribs.

The 2116's are awesome, and I've had good luck with my 1116's as well (approx. $1,200 for the pair). I prefer them to the Cannon Mag 10s I had on the boat before.

Nice fish, Mark! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
