    When we use copper we usually go with a spoon or meat but that generally depends on what the fish are hitting in our rigger and dipsey spread Many use FF as well Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    IMO it’s not so much the type of line you are running when it comes to speed it is more the lure. As example spoons tend to fish better a bit faster than say meat as example. So once you get your gear dialed in on the riggers (and firing) then you should be good for your junk lines. Not sure if you are running on planers or down the chute but using the right copper and lead ore length at the right time of year matters. In spring for browns as example you may want short lead cores but will need 7 or 10 colors as the fish slide deeper in the summer I use 300 coppers all summer with good luck but many get deeper with longer with great success. Agree completely with above. If you have down speed use it as that will take currents into account Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Fished Thur through sat Thursday took us a while to dial in No kings Thursday but plenty of Steelies. Fish taken on spoons mostly off riggers and 7 color w spoon. Largest steelie 13# came off of diver out 2OO With meat rig Free sliders had action as well Fri took a 21# laker off spoon in 90fow first thing and headed north. Found kings 220-240. Largest 18#. Mostly spoon bite 60-70 down but bite died around 8. Headed north found some more steel at 400. In around noon to 120 and played with lakers for a while who were more than willing. Just pIcked up Gamblers death traps. Holy cow. Ridiculous. Great attractor. Going to order a cpl more today sat fished bald eagle tournament. Fishing on fire All rods took fish. Insane bite 200-225 fow down 55-65 from 530-8 then slowed. Slid north and found solid kings in 400-425fow gear going around 80-110 down. Had horrible luck with dropping them for some reason but that’s the way it goes. Finished middle of the road in tournament but had incredible numbers of bites sat. Huge shout out to Nick Rusin at Rigged Sportsfishing Charters and his crew for putting in the tournament and all that helped with tournament. Great day and really ran smoothly.

    Agree with above. As for the meat there are lots of ways to go. Sharon carries 2-3 brands at Narbys if you want to get started. After you get used to running it you can experiment with doing your own etc. agree with others a lot of preference here but most agree that meat flat out produces on some days Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    So true. When I got into this game I was absolutely shocked at the price of good swivels. It’s kind of like the joke that says “why is divorce so expensive? Because it’s worth it!” Well same goes for swivels LOL Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    we use the uni to uni knot for leader to mono (leader about 10') then an albright to the snap swivel then to spoon. I must say that the leader question is a debate in itself I know many charters who use straight mono and clean up. But nobody seems to debate the flea issue lol

    great report thank you
  16. Pa223
    for kings we use straight 40# big game leader down or up according to the season 12# floro up until about June then bump up to 15# we run the heavy line due to the fleas and never have any

    You know I started fishing lake O on charters out of point breeze with my father in the late 80s. It’s kind of interesting that I recall everything was very tight mouthed and guys didn’t seem to be willing to talk as openly about successful strategies etc. perhaps I wasn’t in the right circles then but it is truly great as this post describes to have such valuable information on this site. I know that everything has the potential these days to go private with social media, but this site really has the ability to help all from the novice on up. Thanks to all and congrats to all on a great season Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
