Yankee Troller

Thanks everyone. That's a great pic. If you could send it to me that'd be great.

75 boat field and Team Yankee Troller for the win at the Spring King Of The Lake! One hell of a start for Team Yankee Troller on the 2019 tournament trail. We went out today with an open mind not knowing what the big blow Saturday did to the lake/fish. We quickly dialed in a program and had a good pick for a few hours in the morning. We only had 10 Salmon bites today, and landed 9 of them. We tossed our fish in the cooler and only ever knew what the smallest fish was. We had no idea we had the weight we did until the fish hit the scales. We put 86lbs on the scale, which was 4lbs more than second place. That was with a 12lb fish as our smallest. We also weighed the wrong fish for big fish and that cost us about a grand. For giggles we weighed our biggest after weigh in, and it was just under 21lbs. We fished 50-60' of water for most of the day. Two fish came on spoons, and 3 were Familiar Bite meat fish. The spoons were a Stinger glow mixed veggies and a moonshine apple seed. One fish came off FishUSA 5 color Stealthcore, one on a diver, and three off our Cannon Downriggers. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

They're here every spring, but the numbers I've seen this year are more than I've ever noticed.

I've never seen so many Loons in one area. I wish they were more vocal Sunday morning.

This was our last weekend in Rochester chasing Spring Brown Trout, and we spent it with a great family! We got both days in and the kids were troopers in yesterday's NE blow. This 7yr old girl and her slightly older brother reeled in Brown Trout without much help from the adults! Hot sticks were Bay Rat Ghost Wipe and Ayu. Hot spoons were Sea Sick Waddler and glow frog.

Why support a Canadian company when Familiar Bite is made near Buffalo and is an American company? Familiar Bite will have Pacific Herring, Atlantic Herring, Alewife, and Ballyhoo available this season.

Saturday Boat 1: Both boats ran today. Jamie Perkins and Mark joined me on the Lund. It was a good day with multiple species coming over the back of the boat. We went 1/3 on King Salmon, took a Coho, a Laker, and hooked multiple Brown Trout. Most of the Brown Trout were small today. The Salmon we landed was 16lbs on the scale, and it ate a new super slim from Team Dreamweaver called the Rasta Goose behind a Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers. Boat 2: Captain Craig Hajecki and Justin Botting ran the Yankee Troller with long time clients Ray and Kurt. They had a multi-species day as well, and took a nice King Salmon right at the end. Their Salmon choked on a Bay Rat Lures Green Frog short shallow. They also got into a little nicer class of Brown Trout. Sunday Boat 1: Who says an East wind and a poor moon phase means they won't bite? We fished the Webster shoreline today. Water was clear on the inside, but we pulled fish from it on our first pass. When we turned around we took a deeper line back West. That 20-30' range would be where we spent the rest of our day. It was LOADED with big Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon! Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers out 25-35' pulling Team Dreamweaver SS in Sea Sick Waddler and Coyote Ugly. Our Cannon Downriggers were going down 15-25' with a Sea Sick Waddler and a Gold Tuxedo. On the surface it was mostly Bay Rat Lures, but one of our Kings at a Smithwick Black/Silver. The Bay Rats that went today were Black Flash, Ayu, Yankee Troller, and Citric Shad. Boat 2: Captain Craig ran the Yankee Troller again today with the help of good friend Randy Calus. They fished near the mouth of the Genesee River looking for more of a shark bite this morning. They went 0/3 on Salmon, took 4 small Coho, and landed some very nice Brown Trout!

Honestly, I use them all. It depends on what depths you fish. If you like scratching the beach the S3 is your man. The other two are good a little bit deeper.

No, it's sold.

I don't usually go off dive charts. Dive charts are only good for the day and conditions that data was recorded. typically with the Chinook divers I'm only running them out 5 to 20 ft this time of year anyway.

Fished new water today and had a great day once we found the patch of water the fish were holding in. Our Biggest Brown Trout was about 8lbs, but most were small. Our Fat Nancy's Tackle Shop Streamside rods make even a 15" Brown Trout fun to catch! Along with all the Browns we took 3 Coho and 2 Rainbows. 95% of the bites were board lines back 80-120'. Bay Rat Lures in the S3 model is all we ran today. Colors that went today were Citric Shad, Can't Afford It, Free Willy, BT Candy, AYU, Ghost Wipe, and My Secret. These guys were great sportsman and tossed back all but 3 small ones for the grill. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Another great charter with long time customer Al Kohut and gang. The morning started with a Spring King that chewed a Bay Rat Lures Citric Shad S3 on the inside board back 120'. The first one of the season is always exiting! After that we picked on a plentiful class of small Brown Trout in that 8-12' range. We slid out to the 15-20' range and found some better Brown Trout later in the morning. Finished the day looking for another Salmon, but we found nothing. Best Bay Rats today were Citric Shad, My Secret, and Ghost Wipe. Couple shots on the Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers and Cannon Downriggers both pulling Team Dreamweaver SS's. Sea Sick Waddler and Chilly Willy each took one.

Certainly not a great experience there. How's the unit now?
