Nice catch. Let’s see that toe! We should start a wound thread... Last week, last fish of the morning, a solid 18, one of the treble hooks in the jaw, easy peasy removal. Cept the spoon/hook fly outta the jaw and land point first in back of my left hand right in/on my vein! Pulled the hook and the red stuff starts flowing. Luckily a little pressure n she was good in 5-10mins. Hate to think what woulda happened if I’d gotten the barb! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We started 630am in about 85-90 outta Mexico. Downtemped in 135 saw 49F 105 down? Something like that. Plotted a course to the deeps. Finally 1030 high 2 dipsey braid 250 back over 330 feet takes a hit get 18.5 for the wife. Went dead again for some time til stealth rigger 110-115 down took a pre-teen in 280 maybe. Couple more small fish on w/long release that was it til 2pm down off the Mohawk plant. Both on spoons. Getting me some Humble Pie tonight! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

These fit in tracks. Universal sorta fit for riggers. I’m running manual Penn 620 looking to add another pair to my setup. Anyone got one or two? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wrights Landing had plenty parking around July 2-3rd the first time I fished there. Fyi for out of towners like me the inside of the breakwall (minus the actual launch area) is NOT a No Wake Zone. But...beware the clueless kayakers milling about the light house and outer breakwall/light. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

FishnChef, call me back, tried to message you. I've got an 1850 Super Hawk too, I'd like to see some more of your setup if that's possible, too? I can see a little in this picture, but would love to chat, take those holders off your hands. Check ur messages for my number. Thanks bw

I'm in Himrod, NY 14842 but will be passing thru Erie, PA on Sunday Aug 2 or Monday Aug 3. Can PayPal now and pickup then if works for you? I'll take 4 nice SGs...

Sat afternoon shift had my father in law onboard for the first time. 2 bites, 2 matures, 13.5 & 18.5 both still swimming. Unlike the morning and Friday am/pm shifts, both came on the divers targeting 60-65 feet. First fish was in 220’, the 2nd larger and darker fish came in 320’ as we tracked on a path that produced big bites in deeper water for us last Saturday. Dick did well minus picture posing. He’s getting better. I call this first one, ‘Who needs a hug?’ Both fish on bright mag spoons with a crystallina type finish and honeycomb back. Unsure of brand. Came in a grab bag with sharp hooks. One darn near gave me an IV in back of the hand on Sat am. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Next in line for a couple SGs. I’m near Seneca Lake in NY fyi can pickup if nearby. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

With supply chain shortages I got one Penn Warfare 30LWLC from FishUSA. It’s larger than I realized for my 1000’ wire setup. But. I do need a reel for 300’ copper. Anyone know how much backing to run for a Warfare 30 with 300’ copper? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sometimes I answer my own questions. Is that a bad sign? I found the nylon drag washers and nylon insulating washers at Fish307.com. About $30 total for 2 riggers worth shipped. I’ll report back with the results. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I pulled my Penns apart a couple weeks ago. It seems the drag washers are nylon. They seemed in OK shape but one of them was definitely giving up a few shavings. I cleaned all the washers in a very diluted Simple Green solution and reassembled. The Penns still dont work as smoothly as I’d like them. The weight kinda holds there then all a sudden goes racing down! I guess Ill go shopping for some replacement washers at some point. Anyone know a good place to find parts?
