  1. Take a 5 gallon bucket and wrap a string around it at the bottom of the bucket, then measure it. Then take the string and wrap it around the bucket half way way up the bucket and measure it. How much difference do you have in the lengths ???? And every revolution it’s getting a little bigger diameter. The math is probably really close with 80 feet of cable out.

  2. Good job. Thanks for the report. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  3. Yea I thought it would be cool one time to have 500' on a rigger that was only suppose to hole 250' Lol
  4. Sounds like you have too much wire on your spools. If your riggers are designed for 150’ of wire and you out 250’ of wire on them the counters will no longer be accurate. Your balls will be deeper than the counter says. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  5. You may have been too deep. Last week we marked bait out to about 130 FOW. Didn’t mark much any deeper. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. ive run the same meat on a rig for 12 hours and several fish. when they loose there scales or the fish quit hitting the rig Ill change the meat.
  7. the weight of the boat helps a ton, but the best way to avoid it is to troll into the wind or with the wind.
  8. I’ve been running 14# fish weights with mine for 2 years. No problems yet. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  9. There are no Walleye in Lake Ontario!!! Land shark is off the team! Just kidding. There are some walleye there but there all blind. Go to Erie there are way more of them and there not blind. There are a lot more Walleye on the other side of the fence in Ontario. The habitat on that side is more walleye friendly and I think they never have to migrate to the south shore to find enough food and water temperature. Erie on the other hand is shallower so they migrate to follow the bait and cooler deeper water. Making them easier to pattern. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  10. Welcome aboard. Where on Erie do you mostly fish? Wilson bay. Tuscarora state park has the cheapest dock rentals that I’ve found, there 21 a night with electric and water. There about 12 miles or so? from the bar by water. The fishing out front of Wilson is on fire right now. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  14. Would you consider making me a couple? If so what would you charge me for them. Very interested!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  15. We also went out of olcott this morning. Was setting lines by 6:15 had boated 5 fish by 7:30 with a few throwbacks, fished out front in 100 - 130 FOW down 40 to 80 down, all small walleye spoons. They were short hitting the magnums all weekend and wouldn’t stay buttoned up. They inhaled the small spoons. We fished Friday Saturday and Sunday morning, boxed every day but had to work at it. Tried flasher fly, meat, plugs, and everything else I could thing of, small spoons were the best. We even caught 1 king on a worm harness. Lol. All in all a great trip. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United Would also like to give a shout out to a guy that goes by the handle ( Batters up ) great guy! Pointed me in the right direction on Friday. Thanks man.

  16. I don't think captains cove offers electric? at least they didn't last year.
  17. Thanks for the report. I’ll be fishing out of Olcott Wednesday night thru Sunday. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  18. They didn’t when I was looking at them. They have a slip clutch is what I was told. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  19. I saw them in person at a show. They are well put together. They didn’t cut any corners. I’m a mechanical and electrical engineer, and have a machine shop in my garage. They also had a video playing of them testing them. In the video they were lifting 100 lbs of weight up and down about 15 feet (in air at full speed) very impressive. That’s my next set of riggers!

  20. Those little 4 bangers run for ever. I would definitely get it running and see what you have. And if you decide to go with a out board at least you could sell the inboard and out drive for something if you know it works. As for the 90 hp outboard, if you go that way, I’d sell it also. That’s a lot of boat to be pushing with a 90hp. I would think a 150hp at least. I would concentrate on getting the one in the boat running. Points and condenser, distributor cap and rotor, plugs and wires. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  21. Good luck fellas. Keep us posted. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  22. I’ve narrowed it down to, Wilson, Olcott, or Oak Orchard. We’ll be staying on the boat so the marina has to have showers. I’m not sure there are showers at Oak Orchard? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  23. That’s sweet. Wish I could paint lures. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
