When I got out to the lake it was nice and calm. I fish out of a small 16 foot tiller and with the good reports and my two newly acquired clamp on riggers for the boat I decided to shoot out to 55 fow and see what was happening. Worst case scenario I slide back in for browns seeing that I never fished out a little deeper before and didn't know what to expect. I was fishing solo. Planned on sending down the two riggers and throwing out a stickbait on the surface to possibly pick up a Coho. The Third rod never made it in the water. I had non-stop action the whole evening, mostly lakers, one steelhead, and my first ever Lake Ontario Kings the biggest going 19 pounds .

Ran two stingers, one DWB and one Frog both took the fair share. What an incredible evening, well worth the hour drive to squeez a few hours of fishing in. Bunch of lakers in the 8-12 lb. range. the two other kings in the low teens.

Yes the first mate does take good pictures, he's not camera shy. Gps track wasn't to bad, expect for the figure 8 I did with the big King, lol. Prob wouldn't get away with it with a walleye spread out but the short leads on the downriggers are very foregiving.
