scotch and sodus

Thank you very much for the input. There are a lot of things i will take out with me the next time i go. I love to fish for lake trout. But most of all i love to smoke them and eat them. Call me crazy but i love the taste. 

Thank you gentlemen for the info and the giggles. 

For some reason im having bad luck losing lakers as soon as they break the surface out away from the boat. Is this something im doing incorrectly? Should i lighten my drag more for these soft lip fish? i usually use spoons with treble hooks. any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks for the report.I seen you going thru Locke yesterday,nice looking rig.

Thank you 

I went out of long point today. My depth finder showed 2.7-3’. Had no issues with my 20’ bayliner trophy. Didn’t find any browns but we had fun with some lakers in 160fow. 

Has anyone been to the launch recently? I’m headed over there on Tuesday and was wondering if the water is up and launch is clear. Thank you in advance. 

Now the 11” paddle that has no fin to kick it over should have to go around 2.3 - 2.4 before it spins. Is that Correct?  And I have seen some people say to run it like a dodger where it slides  side to side. I have never used these I got some in an old box. 

I picked up some 11” flashers and have heard they need to spin and don’t spin them.  What are the pros and cons of these choices. T

She is just getting started but is really hitting it out of the park. She started selling some here recently and can’t keep them in stock. She keeps the price low and the quality high.  $8 for stick bait and $7 for the 1.5 square bills. Hopefully she can get a bunch doe and do some swap meets or something. She is only 19 and trying to find her way in this big world. 

Thank you she works very hard on them. If you would like to see some others @hookedluresny on Facebook

I can see why someone would use the KBS paints they are some awesome looking colors, but I did see both the spray on clear and the brush on epoxy which is used on lures for hardness. Some awesome looking pics. With their colors for sure!!. I’ll stick with createx and wicked colors, only because that’s the paints that I learned with and now have an idea what the consistencies are supposed to look like before using!!! Thanks for sharing. Once I get my self to a better painter than what I can accomplish I’ll try other stuff but for now just practicing the basics.

We use wicked color and createx as well she just uses the KBS Diamond clear coat for finish only. 

My daughter uses KBS diamond it is automotive clear coat. She hasn’t done to many spoons but the stick bait and crank bait look awesome and are rugged. Look it up on you tube. It isn’t expensive but worth it in the end we believe. 

That looks better than alot of them. Thank you for the response . Do you think depth is an issue there. I remember it to be pretty deep in there.

Has anyone been to long point launch? Is the water really low ? Thank You In advance. 

They are doing some work out front maybe the are going to improve the launch side as

well. 

Im just getting started in this type of fishing. I have two downrigger rods and a couple bigger spinning rods to get started with. I would like to have 6 rods all together to have a good spread or the option to have a good spread. I am planning on going to the Brewerton fire hall event. Would there be rod and reels there as well? Also what is your opinion of what combos to have for a new guy. I already run 2 rods per rigger and just picked up some divers and also have big planer boards, but have not used them yet. Thank you in advance this group is awesome as far as the help and support you provide. I hope there will be a day when i can give back to you all.

i thought about singles but i do not know about them on a spoon. i should rig some to see if i can see a difference.

What launches are open over that way?

Thank you for the advice. I will look into theses suggestions. 

Just finished these up and was wondering what size and brand treble and snap ring would you use. They are 4.5” long. 

Where are you launching out of? I’m thinking  i may get and do some fishing. Can’t take anymore winter. Lol

What size hook and snap ring would you run? 

I run Deep Sixes all the time.  They pull the same as a Dipsy, but they aren't directional.  

I just didnt know if they would pull to hard on my main line planer boards. I would like to use them on there because they are not directional

Could you run deep 6 divers off a planer board line? Or would they pull to hard?
