We were out of Deans cove on 7/22 fished for about 3 hours only getting a small rainbow down 80 on rigger. But my fishfinder went blank right after we started so we were kinda fishing in the dark. Had to get down 120 ft. to find 43* water. Called it quits went to Bass pro for new fishfinder. On a good note fleas were gone! Good luck.
Yeah that's for sure worse things could happen. Checked price on new probe, not quite as bad as was thinking. Guess I'll learn to inspect my rigger cables better!
Had a slow day out of Braddocks today. After stopping by Mitchel's to get some cut bait got on water 9:30-2:00. Did get a 7 lb steelhead in 90 fow on 300 copper with spoon. Went out to 250 with best screen about 160-180. Had a rip on the dipsy in 180 fow but we missed him other then that couldn't get anything going. Went into 120 for lakers picked one up right away on gambler rig. Then for some reason when downrigger was up cable tore sending my fishhawk probe an ball to the bottom off lake Ontario... OUCH!! Decided it's not our day and called it a day. Still a beautiful day out on the water.
I just bought a uniden vhf marine radio. My question is what antenna is needed for out on lake Ontario? There seems to be many different sizes, want to make sure I get the right one.
Good job everyone! Sounds like you all got into some fish. Hoping to get out maybe later next week. Hopefully the king bite gets more consistent with the lake setting up.
Nice!! Way to go. Do the steelhead hit about anything a king does? Spoons, FF? I hardly get any steelhead, I'm guessing it might also be that I don't fish far enough out.
We fished out of Braddocks as well 9:00-2:30. 5 lakers 1 small king fished mostly 130-220. Was hoping for some kings after playing with finger lakes lakers. Maybe next time.... still a great day to be on the water.
