Do you guys usually flatline spoons also?
Last year I had a few trips where spoons were hot and my sticks weren’t productive. I put spoons on the boards and attached a split shot 20-30ft from the spoon on the mono and they started producing hits as well.

I fish out of Little Salmon River. Usually find myself setting up in front of catfish creek and trolling west to the high rocks. I run sticks on myboards and spoons off the riggers down 4-5ft. Early April I’m in the skinny water (10-20FOW) as weeks go by I get out a little deeper then dipseys join the spread. Was planning to get the boat in next weekend but with snow and ice at the marina gonna b the last weekend of march at the soonest for me to get her in. Good luck. TightLines

Welcome to the site. Lots of great members here that are always sharing info. This site got me hooked on Lake Ontario and gave me the knowledge to put meat on the deck. Stick around the site and I’m sure you will have many more great days. Good luck this season.

That stinks but gald you found it.
Yea me to. Sucks to spend the money on starter but the new owner will have a goodworkin backup starter and outdrive. Lol

Got the new starter in and still nothing. So I unplugged the relay and jumped it there and it turned over. Ordered a new relay. Wish I checked that before I spent $100 on a new starter.
thanks for all the imput fellas -

Okay I read For the Love of Copper Twice now, but this discussion prompted another question. Why are many in favor of in line boards rather than conventional pole mounted ones?
Just my opinion.
I don’t like big boards. Used them on my trophy and had one dive on me. Thought it was gonna take the mast with it spent hrs untangling stuff while everyone around me was filling there boxes. I’m a rookie with boards and still learning. When I bought my baha I went fishing on it with Capt. Jay and he was runnin inlines with 3 copper per side. My baha has planer reels but after seeing how easy the inlines were, I went out and bought a few.
I thought they would be a pain having to detch them and reeling them in but there really not -

Did you short across the solenoid? I would do that prior to replacing the starter.
No I didn’t and already had the starter out before that was mention.

Ditto on the " ground " ! Check and clean all electrical connections ! sometimes it is very simple ! Let us know how it turns out ?

I had to learn this the hardway Kevin. Lost 400ft and 300ft of copper on the rods. But managed to handline a 24lb king to the boat. The wife took video of the nonsense

Negative on that statement!!! Out your shorter copper on the outside!!!! The longer deeper copper goes on the inside!!! When you hook up on the shorter higher copper, in theory the line should be above the longer deeper Rod. As long as the fish does not dive deeper, and into the longer copper. Also if you want to change the outside rod, if you run the longer copper outside, it will catch the inside, shorter, higher line. You can’t think that copper is the same as flatlines, or short cores!!!! Good Luck!!

@HachimoIf your running 2 copper per side, put the 400 on the outside and 300 on the inside as it will tend to avoid tangles as the outside 400' hooked fish drops back and "tends" to head toward center of the pattern and the 400 will go "over" the 300.
This is a battle ive been fighting in my head. I think logics. That 400 copper is deeper then the 300. Therfore if u have 400 on outside, he strikes he deeper then inside rod. Therfore u bring him to down the chute he will be below ur inside rod. Had a mess two years ago runnin copper with long rod on outside, short inside. Never again
Spring time with mono lines, yes u want ur longer lines to the outside so they can get around the shorter lines on the inside while u bring them into the chute.

Its simple. Go to my dock and jump onboard and observe the chaos! And dont forget the observer pays for fuel!!!!
last year due to corona I believe they didnt have observers( at least thats what I was told cause I was askin around to observe for Pro division of oswego pro/am) if thats the case they probly wont have observers again this year. I’m fishing more tournaments this year including Oswego Pro/am. I have a friend and his son that fished with me last year, but if they can’t make tournaments this year, you and ur son are welcome to be part of the “Winning Team”!!!!

I bought two 4 packs of magda45’s with rods off ebay 5 years ago for $225 each set of 4. I was new and just starting off with a minimal budget. Been upgrading my cooper setups, leadcore, and dipsey combos throughout the last couple years. Still running the magda’s almost every weekend as downrigger setups for browns and kings and haven’t had any issues with them yet. Maybe I just got lucky with all 8 of mine. Well worth the money IMO when your just starting out with a budget.
Good luckMike

No will not be any spring fishing this year. The fish discovered the st Lawrence River and left the lake until they decided to run up the rivers late fall

Been wanting a Fillet board for the back of the boat for some time now, but after pricing them decided it I’m just gonna make one. So far so good. Made it 42”x18” with 4” sides. Just gotta get two bases so I can slide it into my double rod holder. I know alot of guys make these. Any ideas what to use for a base? Was thinkin a flush mount rod holder for the gunnel, but there to big to slid into rod holders.

Is all your copper off the back during summer or do you continue running off boards regardless? Do you run a spread of depths? Sorry to be so inquisitive.
I run inline boards all year. Two on each side. For example. I’ll run 400’ on inside boards then a 300’ on outside.
“For The Love of Copper” by legacy is a great read. read it a couple years ago. Gonna read it again for a refresher
