Yesterday pit if bear creek we landed 4 kings in 150 feet down 80. Raspberry carbon, hulk and green jeans spoons. Fat Nancy protroll with stud fly got us one. 

Nice fish!! I saw the same out of bear creek. 140 to 160 were best screens. It was mostly a spoon bite for us.

150 feet east troll. Steady pick of kings and cohos on hulk RV on 10 color, raspberry carbon RV on 300 copper, fat Nancy with stud fly out 250, and even picked up a nice 10 pounder on a gambler rig parked on the bottom....that was a first for me.

Lots of bait at 80 feet. Anything outside 140 to 160 was blank.

I love my Fish Hawk and have used them for a very long time. When my son and I purchased our current boat we purchased a new X4 and this would have been our third year using it. 
Saturday I used the probe for the first time this year and the unit showed 3.8 degrees down temp. Other than that it was functional. When I got home I went to their website and that very condition was number 2 on the troubleshooting list. Bad temp sensor, no remedy, buy a new one. 
I contacted Fish Hawk and they did give me 25% off but I can’t help think that if it’s a common product defect that they should have done more. I ordered the new probe this morning.  Am I being unreasonable?

Exact same thing happened to me twice in 4 years. Both times they gave me the discount. The fella on the phone said to avoid storing them in direct sun light. The refraction of the sun heats up the internals and fries the thyristor. 

But yes, it seems a problem this prolific needs to be addressed somehow...like maybe not making the body transparent perhaps?

So just cut and reconnect then? Are the cords longer?

Anyone know where I can find an extention cord for a cannon mag 10? Based on my battery location and in hull tubing I need an extention cord to go between the rigger and battery ends about 4 feet long. I made my own with 10 gage wire and covered with a corrugated tube,  but I'd Ike to get something that is a bit more waterproof and looks a little less redneck engineered.

Thanks

Ive never jigged for salmon, but I'll give it a try. I planned on a 6 rod spread. Riggers with high and low dipseys

I want to take a trip to the bar in the spring. Never been and all I  hear about it is its a bucket list trip. Looking for info on launches, depth,  baits etc. I have a 18 ft aluminum I troll all summer with out of bear creek.  Ill be driving from just east of Rochester. 

Thank you

Dave

Looking for a place to get 8 reels rewound with 20 pound mono in the Rochester area....

I fished lake superior for lake trout a couple months ago. The food quality of the lakers in superior is far better than onatrio. I guess the colder water and food sources makes all the difference.  We caught steelhead and lakers and could not tell the difference in color or taste of meat. 

That being said, I believe smoked lake trout is as good as any other smoked lake fish coming out of lake ontario. 

630 first rod in, UV hulk Mag 50 down in 100ft.  635....fish on while setting second rod. 18 pound female.

Moved on to 50 ft after an hour of blank screen screens. 15 minutes double on green meat rig down 30 and nbk on 5 color.

That is all

Its what I feel like the day after eating the Bill's Mafia sauce covered wings washed down with a Genny Light...its a different kind of screamer

Left at 330 straight to 200. Blankety blank blank screens. 50 degrees was down 50ft. Moved headed NE, nadda. Moved in to 115...holy crap.

400 copper with a 11in silver paddle and meat head takes a rip, dipsey out 220 with green meat takes a rip. Get those rest and 300Cu with C14 gets a 20 pounder. Green meat gets smasked and I lost the whole rig behind my snubber.

400 copper has a flounder pounder mag RV, takes a hit, 45 pound braid backing breaks. So...if anyone catches my copper line I just want the spoon back.

Rigger at 65 with raspberry carbon gets a teenager. 

A great night, cant wait for tomorrow.

The color of their gums. Coho are white compared to black in kings.

Jesus...now I really feel like an idiot. Thanks for the help everyone

Lake flipped last night.

Little bit rough this morning, dropped in at 250, no hits until the 29 line. ,one Skippy 2 matures about 19 pounds.

No spoon bite for me, gold 42nd took a hit but no takers. 

Meat on a 300 weighted steel took 2 kings,

Warhammer glow meat rig took the other mature on the 100 DR

A bam fly with a 2 faced pro troll went on a 240 dipsy, mature broke the leader.

 Didn't really see any bait until about the 29 line either.. 

So hold back the laughter, but what is the 29 line? Thanks for the help.

Its not much better tonight. C14 on 300 copper 1 little guy in 250. But...im washing the dust off alot of gear. 

We just slipped into 110...few big hooks at 90.

Fingers crossed. 54f at 91ft

Awesome looking fish 

Great work and great fish!

my new favorite spoon!  steelhead love it all day too

Raspberry Shadow is just as good. I love them all.

49 degrees at 70, 55 degrees at 60

2 hours tonight in 115 feet. Raspberry carbon down 68 gets 2 kings

Not alot on marks or bait tonight, much different than last night.

Bear creek yesterday 3 for 6 in 120 feet. Carbon 14 on copper and meat were my most productive.

Thats 7/23 not 7/13

Took a buddy of mine out today after his cancer treatment to get him thinking about something other than his condition. On the water at 430, got to 120 feet saw a constant stream of marks at 80 and set up. 300 copper with mag carbon 14 gets a 12 pound brown. Green meat rig on fat Nancy flasher out 160 take a good run. Black meat rig on fat Nancy out 180 gets a solid hit...saw on my go fosh cam....so awseome. 

300 copper goes again, 20 pound king on the deck. Raspberry carbon on rigger down 60 gets a 12 pounder.

Temp was 58F down 70 in 120. As soon as I got outside 124 feet blank screens. Moved back into 120 feet the screens light up. Alot of fosh were high around 30 feet all afternoon. I tried to stack my riggers...I got alot to learn there...big mess.

Back at it tomorrow.
