Would've been my guess, thanks! Is it may yet? Lol Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Best knot to connect mono to fluorocarbon? I've been using the FG for my braid to mono/fluoro, Willis for lead to mono/fluoro, and Palomar for mono/fluoro to terminal tackle Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks again! I run all Ande for my mono line too. I had some trouble with my boards roughing up my mono on my coppers and leads so I am changing clips and maybe boards but was also looking at trying Ande Monster as they say it's their most abrasion resistent, however it only comes in bright yellow and blue so that's why I was wondering about line color (and I run their tournament series for walleye which is green, was also considering using 30-40 lb of that for salmon stuff but didn't know about the green color) Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Lots of good info in there, thanks so much! Do you all have a preference on line color as far clear, blue, or green? Do most run straight mono, mono with fouro leader or straight fluoro on the rigger rods? (I run fluorocarbon leaders on all my lead, copper, etc but am going to respool my riggers with 30# and trying to decide what's best) Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pic and price? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Looking for anyone selling spoons, flashers, flies, plugs, etc. In good condition. Fairly new to this and just hoping to start my tackle collection at a better price than all brand new one lure at a time. Let me know what you have! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app UPDATE: lots of responses, able to make some deals on plugs and dodgers so mostly looking for spoons now. Never too much tackle though lol

So is there really no reason to use a stacker release to fish multiple depths off 1 downrigger? Just use a slider with snap swivel to connect to main line and a small offshore tackle clip to keep the slider at a set depth? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I BELIEVE the regs said 15 hook points but I'll re-read it I double checked, it says 15 hook points max per line Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks! I didn't want to start a whole new thread for this so I'll try here first. Was reading the regs to get familiar with them and have a question...regs say 3 lines (attached to rod or not) per person. Does that mean main lines? Ex: if you run a slider off your main line on say a downrigger does that count as 1 line or 2? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

This is my best guess as to where this topic belongs...I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for the help and advice I've received so far in researching for my first trip to Lake O. You have all been very patient and helpful in answering questions, many that I'm sure are basic for seasoned fisherman of the area. Also read some other topics I didn't start or post in and the sportsmenship and respect on here are top notch (not the case with all forums! !!). Look forward to meeting at least some of you on the water...I learn fast, I may be behind on techniques etc. But when I get on the fish I will gladly repay the help with fishing reports!

So do most run line specific for fleas like the blood run or just go higher poundage of your favorite line like going from standard 20# up to 30#? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It seems that spiny fleas keep coming up, I've never dealt with them before...what's the deal? Do they chafe line or are they just a pain to deal with as far as clogging guides etc? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thank you all for the advice and help! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for the info, look forward to it. Hope to meet some of you put on the water, I'm always happy to share reports/info when I get into the fish Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Any recommendations of captains? I'm definitely not opposed to supporting a good charter for the first day to learn the area and use my boat going forward from there Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Been reading a d seeing videos about the kings, lakers, etc at the Niagara Bar around May-ish and want to give it a try. Have a few questions for those of you with experience on Lake O. -What baits are you usually running in this area that time of year and at what speeds? -What are the recommended launches and bait shop (s) in the area? -What is historically the best time of year for fishing this area? (All of may, beginning, end, or none of the above) The salmon fishing over here in Michigan doesn't usually fire up until summer and Lake O salmon fishery is in much better shape than Lake Michigan anyway so I'm just wanting to get out and chase the big fish earlier in the year. I love learning but any help to get ahead of the curve is much appreciated, we have already caught some good walleye in MI/OH this year but I can't wait to hook into a fish that pulls back lol Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Gotcha, thanks guys! Can't wait to join the fishery and hopefully see some of you on the water! I have seen some videos of Yakima Mag Lips being used with success on the bar in may, anyone have any experience with these being good or was it likely a plug for their sponsor? Finally, anything specific you guys do as far as certain classes of fish you release or anything to keep the fishery sustainable? I'm all about conservation and making sure we can enjoy these things for years to come Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What are the typical go to baits for the Niagara bar in the spring? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
