    You can always go with a heavier main line to help float them higher too. A lot of the Rochester boats run 20-30lb mainline for Spring Browns. I don't like it because the thicker the line the more wind it catches. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    We run 15lb mono with a 20' 10lb Fluoro leader in the Spring. We bang bottom in 7' with this line set-up 100' back. I keep them on my outside board when I'm on the shoreline. The bright stuff, specifically the orange and red, will be dynamite for Spring Coho up West!

    Nice thing about the Sub Troll and Depth Raider is you can buy two head units, and use a splitter cable so you can have one in both spots if you choose.

    I've ripped those guys for entering many times. I don't think it's fair, and I agree with you guys. The one still brags about winning a few of those.

    Yesterdays 80* plus temps and that crazy heavy rain/wind storm that blew through in the afternoon had to have done damage to what was left on Sundays image. If you're fishing the Niagara Bar in a few weeks don;t forget about the Spring LOC, 1 K A Day, and Salmon Slam.

    Bruce - Here is a better look at Bay Rat's "My Secret" BPS used to make a very similar color. I saw Bay Rat had something similar, so I had it made in the short shallow.

    Nice job, but Sodus bro?

    As Vinny stated you probably have the bad pulleys. Call them up and they will ship out the new ones that have been on the new riggers for 2 or 3 seasons now. They are a HUGE improvement, and will help with your cable jumping off. It's not even possible with the new pulleys. You mentioned a lot of "prone to" but have any of those parts failed you?

    We broke the pier heads around 6:30am and took a right. We fished the stretch of water from Ship Builders to Hedges. Water color came and went, but the morning bite was insane! 75-100′ back on the boards, and 40-50′ back on our Cannon downriggers. Stud baits today were Bay Rat’s short shallow “My Secret†and “Glow Green Frog.†Also, Rapala’s Brown Trout F9, and a Firetiger Smithwick Rogue. A great mix of small and decent sized fish. HIGHLIGHT of the DAY! In the cove East of Hedges we took a shot on our Cannon downrigger 5′ down 45′ back on a Stinger Mulatto. A 10lb King Salmon comes up to the surface half out of the water, and then heads for Sodus. His run lasted about 10 seconds, and the hooks pulled. Needless to say I was jumping up and down whining like a fool. A few Salmon were hooked on the South shore today from the Oak to Sodus. The 2015 season is on!

    Salmon Fever..... When you lose the first Salmon of the year and you jump up and down and yell in frustration!

    Only place not rough has 2' of visibility. Only small coho today. http://t.co/dRbfHHSVaf

    She's angry, she's dirty, but she's given up 3 coho thus far. Still searching.....

    Is the bottom contour bumpy? Are you fishing big drop offs?

    Bugster - Ken and Laura are great people. Take him up on his offer. We run a bag even if we don't have to for a couple reasons: *Bump the RPMs up while trolling *It'll keep your rudders straighter, and help you AP out.

    Good luck with whatever you buy, but I had to correct the above post. They are NOT made in China. They are made in Minnesota.

    We've had the CannonLink hooked up to ur DT10s for the last 4 or 5 seasons, and we did not experience this. I am not able to offer an opinion on the transducer option as I have never ran that. The CannonLink is discontinued now but it allowed you to run off your Humminbirds transducer, and your riggers were able to be controlled through the Humminbird. Have you tried calling Cannon's Technical service hotline? They are really good!

    Thanks boys! It felt GREAT to get back out there!
  22. Yankee Troller
    West, but I don't think it matters. Deepest we got was 20', and that's where a LT came from.
  23. Yankee Troller
    Good to hear the water was OK that way. We thought the river water would be pinned to that shore. We headed West. Nice job, and yes the Coho are small!

    We canceled our charters for the weekend due to the forecast, and the distance our clients were driving. Well, the forecast was wrong for Easter Sunday. So, we took advantage of it and brought the ‘ol man, the original Yankee Troller, out on a morning shake down. Happy Easter to everyone and enjoy the first fish P - O - R - N of the 2015 season! Nothing was "the man" when it came to baits. Bay Rats, Thundersticks, and Rapalas mostly in natural colors worked on the boards. Blue Sea Sick, Mulatto, and Mixed Veggies on our Cannons.
