Yankee Troller

It all depends on the water quality, or lack of quality, you're fishing. On Lake Ontario the waters from Rochester to the west can usually be found to have some color to it. When in colored (green/brown) you can go up on your main line and flouro leader. East of Rochester can present very clear water conditions, and this would force you to go much lighter. We are fortunate to fish a colored water scenario most days for BT. We can get away with 15lb mainline leadered down to a 10lb flouro. My buddies in the East are using 8lb main line and 6lb flouro leaders. Also remember, if your colored water is tight to shore a heavier mainline will float your plugs a little more to get them in tighter. When fishing plugs line diameter makes them all run different. Keep everything on board consistent to take that variables out. We run only McCoy fishing line on the Yankee. They make some great stuff that I have built a ton of confidence in. Their mean green mono and their flouro 100 is really good stuff!

I use both every year. I have buddies with Traxtech. Obviously I love my Cannons, but if Cannon went away I'd go with Traxtech.

You need to go play with both and then decide. Both will be at the Niagara show.

Great job Chad! Looks great!

We have some great local captains who will be sitting on the panel Tuesday, March 7th giving YOU an opportunity to blast them with questions about fishing the Monroe County area during the Spring and early Summer months. 1 question = 4 answers! When - Tuesday, March 7th @ 7pm Where - Irondequoit Fish and Game Club Your Panel: Captain Bruce Stenglein - Captain Bruce has been fishing the world class waters of Lake Ontario since 1977. Hooked Up Charters is based in Rochester, NY on the Genesee River. He has fished from the Niagara River to the mighty St. Lawrence River. The Genesee River in Rochester, NY is the home port for Hooked Up Charters. Captain Jeremy Sage - Captain Jeremy has experience fishing from Oswego to the Niagara River. He's won professional tournaments, and ALWAYS seems to catch the big fish at the annual Rochester charity event held in early May. Although his "home port" is Oak Orchard he does spend his Spring in Rochester. Captain Jerry Snyder - Captain Jerry fishes a touch East of Rochester in the Spring, but he has a very different approach to targeting fish this time of year. I think many will be surprised at his techniques targeting shoreline Brown Trout. Captain Sam Zucco - Captain Sam is a full time charter boat captain out of Rochester. He's been fishing the waters of Lake Ontario since 1978. Every season he's gets started early, and he's one of the last boats out! He's the president of the Genesee Charter Boat Association, and sits on the Monroe County Fishing advisory board.

Tom is spot on here.

I wish you were fatter so I could buy it.

ABSOLUTELY!

Thanks rolmops!
