So I tried out the Fishhawk TD last weekend.  Put out a slider and attached the TD.  After 20 minutes or so we bring it back in and hit "view" like it said to do and keep hitting "view, view, view, view," etc.  It reads "5' x temp, 10' x temp, 15' x temp" etc. clear to 100'.  (I don't remember the temps but its not important.) The problem is we were in 60' of water.  Isn't it supposed to stop reading at the total depth?  Like 5', 10', 15'........and stop taking readings at say 55' because that is as deep as it went?

I just bought a used TD and haven't tried it yet but will later today. I'll let you know how mine works, Does seem odd that at 60 it reads 100.

I'd say anything less than 5 colors. Could be 1, 2, 3, or , 4 colors of leadcore.

Thanks, make sense now.

Small orange dodgers and small orange spin doctors work awesome.  Run them off of short cores.  The bite has been awesome down west from the reports.  

Hello, What is a short core? Thanks for your products, been slamming the Lake trout.

Oh that's odd. Someone screwed up on the design eh. I have a 16' deep v, will I be able to tie off to the dock while parking the trailer? I fish mostly by myself. Guess maybe it's it's time to find a retired fishing partner.

Last I heard it was closed. Any change?

I'll take it if it's still for sale?

Post your report is you go! I am thinking of going out Saturday morning if the brown bite doesn’t pick up on the big O 

Didn't make it out yesterday, my nephew bailed at the last minute. Hoping to get out Monday/Tuesday. If you are fishing Canandaigua today please post your report.

It was clear as an aquarium last week at Hughes and we weren't catching anything form 8' thur  18'. Moved out to 25' and the water had a slight tint and that's where they were. We marked fish in shallower but no takers.

Sure thing, I'll post a report. Where have you been fishing on O? I may go out of Hughes Marina on Friday. Caught a couple last week there.

You should be OK at that end of the lake. The steep  hills there block a lot of the wind until you get a few miles down the lake.

Thank you Sk8man. I Have not fished there since the late 80;s and don't remember how the wind works there.

Planning on fishing the south end of Canandaigua on Thursday, wind forcast is 10 to15 mph SSE. I have a 16' Deep V. I'm not sure how the wind effects the lake. Am I good to go? or pick another day?

Fished out of Hugh's this morning for about 2 hrs, only caught 1 Brown in 20' Had 3 short strikes. I used the right ramp ( Facing Ramp from shore). I had no problem but I have a 16' deep v so not sure about bigger boats. Black and silver jointed Rapala is what worked, also used perch color Jointed Rapala, it was the short strike lure. Water was crystle clear with less that 1 footers out to 30' depth.

Yes. Though the docks weren't in as of last week.

Thank you

Anyone know if the ice is gone? Can I launch at the south end with my 16' Aluminum Boat?

If I remember correctly it 5.00 to launch. Yes the town of ontario. You can purchase as many as you want but each ticket is for the day you request or just stop on your way. I've been told that you can pay across the street but I've never seen the harbor master there. You can also get a season pass for 100.00. These are last years prices.

Merry Christmas!

That may be useful I think. What would the total be with the chart board?

My recommendation would be a Humminbird HELIX 7. If you stick with the CHIRP/GPS model they're sub $500. I could have it shipped to your door for $474.99. For another $100 you can have the Lakemaster Chart card added which will give you a great map for Lake Ontario and its surrounding lakes. It will also allow you to do things like Shallow water highlight and depth highlight.

Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with The shallow and depth highlight?? What does that do?

I have a $99 Hummingbird and want more than depth and 3 sizes of fish. I fish Ontario for Trout and Salmon inshore less than 150' and also fish Finger Lakes. I do some jigging and would like something to help with that. I have a 16.5 Deep V so want something 7" or 8" because of room. I'm not set on Hummingbird but that's all I have used. My budget is $600.00 or so. Would appreciate Ideas.

In the meantime we have a wounded Bear running around.

Church Tackle TX 22's or Walleye boards work well. I even run 10 color leaccore and 300 coppers off them. I'd stay away from the larger TX44's for that use.

I was looking at the walleye boards, thought they may be too small to pull them. I'll order a couple of them.

Thanks Doug

Looking to get 2 in line boards for spring inshore fishing for trout. Which boards are best for this? I'll be pulling diving stick baits and crank baits
