The only info I have for the organization is there facebook page.  Cops 4 A Cause.  

After our morning out with cops 4 a cause the wife and I headed out for some evening browns. After two hrs washin spoons I set out for lakers again. 150fow in front of the plant produced again. Yellow dew deathtrap pullin mag bullfrog gambler rig was on fire and out produced my froggy cowbell pullin bullfrog mag gambler rig. Theres has been days cowbells do better but then days deathtraps won’t stay in the water like yesterday.  Ended with over a 12 lakers in 1.5 hrs. Biggest 21lb and 19lb. Rest 10-15lb. We had 2 triples and multiple triples with only ne and the wife on the boat. Got pretty intense! Wish I could get browns like I do lakers.  Guess my brown game got pretty weak over the winter as all my buddies loaded the boat with em.  
     On a side note! Fellas if u bring dogs on ur boat, check your bilge pumps from time to time.  Tied to the dock before i went out i went in my cuddy to 6in of water.  Checked my center bilge pump and it was pluged with hair and line. While I was out with the kids earlier in the day I let them drive and they were playin with switches and think they shut the other two bilges off.  Quite the learning experience!

Thank you fellas.  For next year I’m sure there will be info for anyone lookin to get involved. 

What a great day to be on the water, and for great reason also.  Caught wind of a benefit goin on this morning last night at 8pm.  I reached  out to Casey From DirtyGoose Sporfishing, and asked if there was a need for another boat, and luckily there was. The benefit was to support children of fallen officers. This was the first year for the event and after the outcome I’m sure It will be around for years to come.  There where only 5 boats this year but I’m sure next year that number will be at least doubled Or tripled.  
       I was accompanied with two young men that wanted action! Facing 2-3ft waves they wanted to try goin out a little bit for lake trout.  Took a little bit to get them dialed in but  we ended 1-5 and Jackson landing a 12lb laker. The rest of the fleet stayed in tight and the browns finally showed up in mexico.  Biggest fish of the day was a Brown 15.8lbs that was caught on the Dirty Goose and that young man won himself a free mount.  
   Great day to be out and can’t wait to do this again next year!

What is preferred lead off the downrigger ball when trolling cow bells.  I've gotten Lakers in the past but only when fishing for spring browns on long leads.  

I  stager leads on my 3 riggers. One 10ft 20ft 30ft. Couple times when bite slows down I’ll pull my center rigger and only run two and sometimes bite picks back up. 

Bein fairly new to running my own boat out of Mexico I’m constantly learning more and more about the lake and the fishing. The struggle has been real for browns out of Mexico. Very little color in the water and the browns in numbers no where to be found. All week I watch the weather, mainly wind direction and speeds.  If there was only one weekend I could fish browns this spring. It would most likely be this weekend. Hard west blow since yesterday lasting till Friday morning should push some good colored  water our way and stir some sediment up. Who knows.  Maybe some silver will get blown our way!
   What do you all think?

Some guys I know ran right out and got the medical marijuana card when it became available here in PA. Little did they realize it is Illegal to be a medical marijuana user and a gun owner. The government is giving people what they want and in return.  The goverment gets what they want.  

I’m sorry to hear you are selling the new boat. Definitely a rough situation you and your passengers went trou. Should you change your mind and wanna go out sometime, my offer still stands from last year. Just got my baha in the slip two weeks ago and will be up almost every weekend. Good luck with everything 

Two weeks ago was my first trip I set out to STRICTLY fish lake trout bein theres no colored water in mexico for browns. My first 6 hrs I put 14 on the deck. And every trip after, similar results when targeting them. Brian “Gambler” gave me a run down and it works. He knows what he’s talkin about. The LOC Boards don’t lie and he always has multiple fish on them.  He’s not just tryin to push gear.  They work and work great!

Great report Rick. Hope we see some silver soon on the eastend.

Did you use your bottom tracking on your new downriggers for the Lakers

I have. And it worked great. I have a 15lb ball on it so there isn’t much blow back. Also used the jiggen mode and set it for 3ft jigs in 5min intervals. That little action on the ball has been giving me good results. I love the optimum. Definitely made a mistake returning the other two to replace my mag 10HS’s

Great work. U did great for ur first trip. I spent an hour inshore for browns without a bump. Didn’t find any good color in the water so went offshore for lakers. Then had my fill of lakers there and targeted suspended fish in 170FOW with no luck.  Most of the charters are out in Laker territory becouse of the lack of Browns. U did about the best I’ve heard of for browns out of Mexico this weekend.  Like Bill said.  Wait till you have a screamin silver on! You will be hooked. 

Fished untill 11;00.  Took 6 lakers. 2 of them came on yellow dew mag deathtrap pullin a mag bullfrog gambler rig.  First time running a deathtrap.  Much less drag then cowbells and there’s definitely a place for them in my laker arsenal.  I quit targeting lakers after the 6th fish cane in.  I’m  Itchin to hear a screamin drag so I packed in the laker gear and set a 6 rod spread with spoons and FF’s and bumped the speed up to try and target the fish I’ve seen in the 80ft area.  Trolled an hour without a bump and called it quits. Got somemore west winds in the forcast. Maybe next weekend I can get my first brown of the season. 

Started off the morning in tight for browns. After two hours without movin a rod packed it in and ran out to 160FOW for lakers.  5 lakers in the last 40min. All over 10lb. Great class of fish.  4 came on froggy size5/0 cowbells and bullfrog mag Gambler rig.  Gonna give it another 30min and turn up speed to 2.3 and throw out some spoons and FF’s.  Lot of fish suspended in the 80-90ft area.

Shot me a text when ur at salmon country so I can put a face to the name. My boat is downstream from the launch. Cant miss it.  I’m sure I’ll b up that weekend as well

I’m heading back up Saturday afternoon to fish Saturday evening and sunday morning. With all the rain hopefully theres some color in in the water.

Hoping the brown bite turns on soon! I'll be back down in less then two weeks fifishing out of Mexico this time for 5 days. I planned on fishing west of catfish for browns or east of the salmon river up on the sand beach areas. If the Brown bite is super slow again I may trailer the boat west and try to get on some Kings! 

Great video. Glad I watched. This pic is from last Saturday lake trout fishing while trying to maintain down speed of 1.4-1.8.  Surface speed was bouncing from 0-.3

Drive by a lot of the marinas west of Rochester today and it’s pretty spooky.
Guessing if unless water comes up at least a foot 75% of the slips will be useless

Pretty spookie on east end as well. If water level starts goin down I’m gonna pull the boat. I bumped something last Saturday in little salmon river. Luckily no damage or vibrations but others weren’t so lucky. 

Very nice class of fish. Great work

Glad you hooked up. I never strictly targeted Lakers till this weekend and had a blast doin it. Saturday morning I struggled first two hours. Got info to head further west and paid off. Today we got 6 and first one came while settin the last rod. 16#. Most of my lakers came on my new Cannon Optimum while on a jiggin cycle just off the bottom.  Absolutely a game changer!

Feels great when the boat runs good and you have no issues on the shake down trip.  Feels even better when you can’t keep fish off the lines! 

Startin day off right. Before my 3 rods were out hit a laker just shy of 16lb.
