  7. Welcome aboard! Please allow me to provide a few recommendations: 1) Book a charter or two 2) watch the weather closely 3) invest in a speed/temp system if you haven’t already (fish hawk, etc). Good fishing! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Great report, and great fish, Gep! Save me a spot at your dock come October
  9. Usually 3-4 hours depending how big the fillets are @ 180 degrees.
  10. Lake Trout are very good, when treated properly. When the fish gets in the boat, it should be bled and iced immediately. Most of the "gamey" or "fishy" flavor that LT's carry is from poor handling. As for smoking, I prefer to dry-brine my fish (2-3 parts brown sugar: 1 part kosher salt) for about an hour, and as mentioned, any discolored meat should be trimmed. Smaller fish tend to be less gamey than their larger brethren, and are preferred when keeping for table fare. There is no such thing as trash fish, just trash cooks.
  11. If you find you're still having issues check the fuel pickup tubes. I had an issue last year when running over 2300 rpms the motor would shut off, then run fine on low RPM. Turned out to be a bunch of dead bees in the fuel pickup
  12. Here's a video that shows how to run a "stealth diver." Make sure you are doing it with braid, and not wire.
  13. I'd like to give a shout-out to the folks at Fish Hawk for their great customer service. I was having some issues with my X2 unit, and they were able to make it right, and keep me in the game. Nice to know there are still companies like them out there.
  14. Do you have any pics of the Charter Specials?
