Nice photo. That's the way to spend a cool spring day. Your efforts paid off.

I'm going to try a wire diver rod this year and have a couple questions. Can you repair broken strands on the 19 strand wire, or the seven strand, or is the line trashed once you get a break in it? On one of the above posts the info was that the 19 strand wire was softer and you could use a regular rod tip. I'd like to use my lead core rod rather than use a seven strand and modify a rod tip with a roller or twili tip. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Chowdaire: what are your go to colors on the maglips? Thanks.

Thanks, guess I'll throw in the 8's just to be safe.

Plan on making the trip to Lake Ontario soon and am getting the tackle ready. I have flashers and spin doctors in all sizes but want to minimize my tackle if I can. Are the smaller 8" flashers and spinnies something you would run in the spread at this time of year, or just use 10" and larger? Also general color patterns would be helpful. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the feedback.

Does anyone use a marine GPS App for your phone or tablet? Rather than buy a GPS plotter, I was thinking about purchasing an App, like the Navionics.App for my tablet. Would appreciate any input as to suggestions and comments about using them. Thanks.

Freebird 18: Thanks for the very helpful info on the Brad's Super Baits. I won't be able to try them on Lake Ontario this year because of the travel ban. However, I'll give them a try the next time I go to Lake Michigan. Thanks again.

Great catch for a couple of hours. Were you running the Brad's Super Bait straight or behind a paddle, spin doctor etc.?

Great video!

Hope you got the check for the two 14lb. fish weights. Let me know if there is a problem. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and the info. Was thinking about getting a Fish Hawk. I agree, mongolian beef is a great spoon. It has its' day on Lake Michigan too. Thanks again. Jim

Harvey, Check is in the mail today for the two 14lb. fish weights.

Harvey: Can I get two 14 lb. fish weights. Let me know total cost including shipping and your address. I'll send a check ASAP. Thanks

Glad you were able to get to fish with your Dad. Any special spoon combinations or colors that were working best? Also, do you have a speed/temp probe at the ball to compensate for the current? A day with your Dad along with fantastic fishing is priceless.
