Yankee Troller

Nice! Figures it wold work out that way where you couldn't get any good pics of you holding them.

Rule of thumb at 2.7mph according to Mr. Langtiene Spoon = every 100' out achieves 22' of depth 8" paddle = every 100' out achieves 20' of depth Currents will affect this some, and most times we troll a little slower than this. Especially with flashers in tow.

I guess when a big fish to you is something we toss back to get bigger that's not hard to put a net under. Watch a King going ballistic in the back of the boat during a tourney with $25,000 on the line get into that bad boy!

My favorite color diver!

Heard they are fishing them in 60-110'. Some days West is better than East, and others it's the opposite. Combos are working better than spoons.

LOL.....those guys are crazy over there!

Grab the Tuna Toms drags, but unfortunately he wont be selling anything to anyone for another 15 days according to his website. Once you learn how to do one you should be golden.

Kickers look gay on trolling boats! Not to mention they get in the way of netting hanging off the back of the boat.

That'd be a stupid move! Are you sure they aren't putting in a launch where the new city docks will be (North of Cheeburger Cheeburger)?

Landshark.....maybe if you worked during the day instead of LOU'n we could have grabbed a bite to eat last night. You only need 8hr days if your actually working!

Don't question a "Pro" Mike!

It's tough to say. W/NW winds blow in warm water. E/NE winds blow in cold. It's been or gonna be both by the weekend. Don't pass up t he inside waters. If they aren't working point her North until you get a screen under ya.

1 used Penn 345 reel with 150 yards of 50lb backing. In good shape. Worm gear and pawl were recently replaced. $75 Pick up in Rochester or at the Oak.

They are Cannon's.

No hard feelings here either Ivan. BTW....there were a couple close to 10s that rolled by as we picked lines. It blew up fast.

So what yopur saying is a dumb Salmon is worth more than your life? Your family is OK with yoiu risking your life for a dumb Salmon? Not to mention you put others at risk when they have to go out looking for you in wicked conditions all for a dumb Salmon. Do you get the point? It's a dumb Salmon! Sit at the dock and meet some new friends, or go support a local tackle shop. Just becasue we have a larger boat doesn't mean we can lose respect for Lake Ontario. Not to mention your more likely to break and ruin your equipment you've worked so hard to aquire. Reguardless of a 4 hour drive it's not worth it.

Hahahahahahaha......The Yank was pretty clean after that ride in. A lot of water splashed up on her. I can't even imagine what it would have like in your center counsel!

Mel and I went out to do a little derby fishing. Although the wind was whipping we figured we’d give it a go. We were greeted with 2-4’s which were fish-able. We set down in 60’ of water right out front and deployed our three Cannon Downriggers and two wires. As we were setting up it was building, but the screen looked promising. It was tough to keep speed. I slammed the corner rigger down to 55’ with a Stinger Chrome Green Dot E-Chip/A-TOM-MIK shredded Sweet Pea, and then let out my wire. When that was done I went up to the helm to get the speed right as Mel had just set the center rigger with our Moor Sub-Troll on it. As I was taking her back from 2.5 to 2.0 at the ball I hear line ripping. I turn to see my corner rigger stretched backbehind the boat. I yelled over the whipping wind at this point “babe you want to catch that Salmon!?!?!?†She jumped on the rod with a big ol’ smile on her face and brought it to the net. It wasn’t a derby fish, but we quickly realized those 2-4s are now 6-8’s and growing fast. We tried to fish through it, but it just wasn’t gonna happen as it was building. It wasn’t long and we were pulling lines and heading in. There were some big dogs out there on the ride back in, and I was a little nervous as that might be the biggest water the Yank has seen. When we got back to the dock I was informed by Paul C of Free Spirit that a guy in a 17’ Lund was next to him when he picked up and ran in. We were 10 minutes behind him, and never seen the Lund. As we sat at the dock wondering what happened to this guy there was still no sight of him. A good while later Paul sees him putting into the mouth of the creek and confronts the guy. Apparently, his big motor died. Paul told him he was stupid to even be out there when it was 3-5’s and the old guy tells him he is 70 years old and he doesn’t care if he dies out there! Some people are just amazing! Anyway, the W/NW winds were pushing some warm water in there, and we had 74 degrees most of the way down the water column. The screen was good when we picked up in the 55-80’ range.

WOW.....what a tank!

Boo! There is a lot of time to fish still! This early bow season is pissing me off! It's like we have to scramble in between hobbies now.

Yeah, 2x or stronger. We have been using a VMC Spark Point 4x this year after we were unable to get the Owners. Very impressed with that hook. I have to believe your prolly a little tight on that drag too.

Nice job!
