Sandy afternoon with Coyote K

Did the afternoon run with Ken and Brandon . Ran out to 200 and headed north . After losing the probe and weight 5 minutes in , we trudged on . Anyway , we were 3 for 7 hits . 3 kings , one skip. Gary D rigs w/ white flashers on dipsey At 150 and 189 were the ticket taking 5 of the 7 hits . Ended the night with a double . I dropped two nice fish . Awesome night on the water . Nice to go on someone else's boat and be successful on my rig

Braddocks 8/12 pm

I have used a lot of different hooks and my favorite are eagle claw 374 for the money . I keep coming back to them . Fish get off , that's the way it is , there is no explaining it other than maybe thay aren't taking it good and are nipping at it. Some days you loose a lot ,some days you don't loose any . That's why it called fishing -

The last few times out I have not done well in water lest than 150 ft except for small fish . I see a lot of bait and some fish , but Not finding kings I like to target . I seem to be doing best 180 plus . Try putting a T 41 atomic Ultra glow fly behind that white 11" flasher 35" .- 1 reply

I run 65 braid on one side and wire on the other . Many times the braid outfishes the wire . And after losing a diver , pro troll and the rest to probably a kink yesterday AGAIN , the wire is going in the trash , all braid . I see no difference except when the fleas are real bad , but I'll live with that .

Well I did not get into the Sandy creek shootout figuring no way could I compete with My boat and primitive equipment . But We fished that morning and did quite well as we found a good pod of kings that were biting . We easily had a 75 # box . I don't know where we would have landed . And we ran two rods most of the morning and were having breakfast with my wife by 930 .

After a bust yesterday with a Cancel and A guy who could only fish 2 hrs we head back out today with a double team with Coyote K . Started in 80 with all kinds of bait but no hits . Decided to head out deep and glad we did . 300 ish was the best for us . 65 to 95 down . And again my braid dipsey out fished my wire . I keep hearing how much better wire is . Well , I ain't seeing it . Went 3 for 8 . All good fish 2 hits on spoons . The rest were white flashers and my Gary D rig I think I have finally perfected .Got bit off twice . That I need to fix . One time this summer I did not catch a fish on it . I don't think I have the next great Salmon bait. After 3 summers of testing I now know it .

How do I start?
HB2 replied to Gregger300's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
If I were you I would run one flasher each on each rigger fishing the marks As deep as try the fish are . 25 to 35 lead 20 apart vertically . And a mag spoon On each dipsey set on 1.5 back a long way or fish the marks And I love my white flashers . White rocks . And turn a lot , s curves so you lures are going the right speed at least some of the time . -
When we get a strong east wind for a day or two the wind pushes the surface water west while the current flows east and pulls the cold water from down deep to the surface . It can be as cold as 42 Dec this time of year surface temp . This is my understanding of how this happens Fishing is bad inshore and to find stable water you will have to go 3 to 15 miles offshore . The fishing can be quite good out there . I head north and drop lines when surface temp reaches around 65 And head north .

Maybe you can reel 150 ft of 30# over the braid with Albright knot . Then a 25 tippet of 20 Flouro to the spoon or straight 30# to a flasher . 30# braid is strong enough but will catch a lot of fleas if they are bad . You will just have to check and clean them often . Good luck

Wire Diver Question - How much to spool?
HB2 replied to Lightbringer's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
First wire diver I had was 300 ft of 30# wire ,backed up with an Albright knot to 100 yards of 65# power pro braid and then 20# mono to fill the spool. Caught a ton of fish on it with 0 problems . But I trust my knots . I feel there is more chance the wire breaks because of a kink you don't see than the knot breaking . -

I think the high water the last few years has had an impact . We have had stellar fishing the past few years Coincidence ?
