Ducks have the slobs. You can cross river between carlton island and south shore fish drop and load the boat think it's called Hinckley point. It runs north to red can.
I'm doing the same every report looks good except weather channel calling for 10 to 20 mph wind. Rest say less then 10. I have come out twice and got blown off. That's getting old.
Us to! one Skippy sat went west of plant today had a monster on wrapped up a dipsy line and then came at the boat was gone just as fast. Got to rough out deep called it quits around 11.30
Selling my like new 800x renegade it has 3000miles of not beat adult owned. I bought last winter rode it once. Its all studded knee pads,skid plate. I knew original owner it was a cruiser with his wife. Asking $8000
Last time I was out I also have no probe. I was trolling east at 2.4 with bags out turned west 1.9 and ball and dipseys were cranking. Couldn't figure it out cable was at 50 deg never had a hit going west. Turn east 3.6 put bags out back to 2.4 fish on!
Friend of mine first mates said it was great early then the heavy west wind that pushed the warm water in killed it. I don't know if that's the reason but makes sense I guess
What should of I had done I don't have a fish hawk. Besides reeling everything in and running West and reset. Should I just keep both bags out to get cable back to 45 degrees and forget about GPS speed. Or add more length to ball to makeup swing?
Tried the 44 this weekend. Pulled 177 ft of braid with the bigger dipsy not mag with the ring. Put it out 40yds and it stayed at 2 o'clock behind the boat except once it pulled back toward boat think I had a fish on but was netting a fish and it went back to 2 o'clock after.
First new to the game fished out of Oswego Sunday would troll east I would need my troll bags. Turn west speed would drop to 1.9 so I would pull my bags and be doing 2.4 or so east no bags 3.6mph. West seemed like I was flying dipseys pulling drag rigger out 50deg?? Current?? Second I had a temp change 250ft 60 ft down over temp line I kept marking fish but couldn't find anything they would hit what were they?
Don't know never had a hit I don't think I did anyways. Owner hooks on my spoon so? If fell back and pulled close to the boat when I was netting a fish possibly had one on.
Ran the two 36" was perfect! What a difference going west I needed no bags 2.5 .2.6 running east 3.6 put bags out 2.4. 2.5. The boat control was great No pulling. So now I know what I have to get.
Got up with my sister sat couldn't go out. Hung at motel and played with tackle. Got up yesterday 3 am and was at the ramp in the dark. Started with two mag dipseys 1 rigger and a reg dipsy behind a tx44. Started in 160 ft setting up tons of boats out and west of where we were so I went east. It was nice having my sister drive while I worked rods. Finally got into some fish on the one mag dipsy out 315. Gave the first to sister ran another 112 ft before it stopped. After the chaos trying to hand line a 25.8 male that almost didn't get fit in the net. She was shaking and we were both happy we caught one out of a bass boat.. I reset the rod and it went off in my hand while I was playing with the drag another 20 lbr. After the chaos again, reset dropped the rigger 40 ft and it went off and rod hit me in the head. #3 high teens female that kicked my sisters butt. Couple hrs later flat calm hot,i made a pass out deeper rigger popped again another 21lb male now the lid on the cooler won't close so made a 1 more pass and worked our way to the ramp. I learned allot still have tons to learn but had a great day running 3 rods planner rod got the boot after a fish took out the dipsy and made a mess.
Bought one of the tx44 in lines had a regular size dipsey with the ring 177 ft out on 0 ran great. Going to get another just so I can get the away from the boat.
There walkers 10lb max don't know if they will handle 12s but it's only 2lbs so if I get a torpedo in a 12 and don't let it hang out of the water I should be ok?
