Yankee Troller

Fat Nancy's in Pulaski had a ton of bulk RD heads. Give them a shout.

Ditto on what Tim typed.

We had 2 GoPros going. So there should be footage from our boat.

I'd like to have a $250 one, and a $100 one. If there are more teams interested we can expand from there.

Bump

Great job!

We've done this at times.

Is this sold?

Right now! It's only gonna get worse from here on out until late June at best. It should pick back up in July and August.

Spring King of the Lake Friday's practice was decent. We found a patch of green water right off the mouth of Port Dalhousie, and the fish were piled in there! Similar to the shallow water program we left in Rochester, but the stud was a Hawg Wild and Froggy Glow spoons. Riggers 40-60' back, 5 color lead, and Slide divers 25' leads on a 4 setting back 80'. Only three tourney boats found it, and after trolling around the Canadian side the rest of the day we felt that was the deal. Saturday we headed to the green water off Port Dalhousie, and boy did it shrink. We still pulled 10 bites out of it, and boxed out. However, the big guys we took in there on Friday weren't there. All we had were cookie cutter 10-15lb fish. Knowing the winners of Big Fish Friday came from the bar we figured we'd go try to upgrade there. Not to mention the tourney teams fishing the bar should be settled in nicely and show us where to go. We fished the bar the rest of the day and picked away at a few fish, but nothing of any size. After day 1 we were pretty much out of it, and sitting below the half way mark. Sunday we knew we needed to swing for the fence to have a chance. We know what a big fish program is, and that's what we rigged up. Typically, big fish eat A-TOM-MIK flies and Familiar Bite meat! Only 1 rod had a spoon on it, and that was a 10 color Stealth Core. On the set-up 7 rods went in and before we could get the 8th in 6 of the 7 rods had fish on them. It was like this for the rest of the day! A-TOM-MIK Big Fin Glow was a stud behind a Green E-Chip. Familiar Bite also took a ton of whacks behind big and small flashers. We had riggers going from 50' down to 175'. Wires out from 200 to 275'. It was a slaughter fest! At the end of the day we came in with one of the heavier boxes for the day, but it just wasn't enough to climb into a check. Wilson Harbor Invitational We fish this tourney with clients. They fished it one year, and they've been hooked ever since! They showed up to pre-fish Wednesday night and fished with us right through Saturday. Wednesday night we fished off the bar and did OK. 10 color Stealth Core with a Froggy Glow and a Wonderbread took a few Salmon, but the bite wasn't HOT. We were dealing with a slight East wind, and we figured that might have them shut down a little bit. Thursday we headed back to the bar. We put down a heck of a spread. A little bit of everything. Spoons, flies, and meat. It was a King-A-Thon! At least 35 Salmon hooked, and about 15 Lake Trout. We stayed busy, but there was nothing special about these fish. All the same cookie cutter fish we had the weekend before. Our meat program was solid! We were running some of the new Familiar Bite Whip Flash paddles and they seemed to work well! Friday we looked for larger fish knowing our numbers would suffer. It started off slow, but we found some water and ended up plucking a LOC Derby fish out of it. That fish took a Frost Bite on a high rigger. We definitely found the fish we needed, but knew it would be a grind. Saturday was tourney day and we were pumped! For once the fishing was good at the WHI. We worked the water from the day before, and slowly picked away at them. Our stud for the morning was a Familiar Bite Whip Flash on a 225 diver. Later in the day we had to get it out to 275' to get it to go. Even though that deep stuff was our numbers deal the big fish of the day came high again and on a spoon. Our 19lb Salmon took a Wonderbread spoon on a 10 color Stealth Core. At weigh in I knew we were 1 kicker fish away from winning the deal with our box. I didn't know it would be that close, and that a lot of great teams struggled. We would end up in 2nd place for the event, and just a few pounds out of 1st! Big Coho

I think Lucas Falkner of Make the Turn Charters has one. So does Jerry Felluca of Runnin Rebel.

The Helix is a great unit for a great price!

Those are those Erie fisherman! They seem to think they have 4 rods on each board still and run them waayyyy out there! LOL

I was not aware that we raised that much. That's AMAZING! I think it would be a good idea to get the info on here as to how company's can get involved. Lot's of people on here can take this to their HR representatives, or business owners, to try and grow the event.

Morning trip - We had the Palmers Food guys on board including the president of the company. Great group of guys, and VERY appreciative of their experience. They were spoiled in the 4 hours they fished with us. Fished from Hedges East and had a great pick of mostly Salmon with a few LT's in the mix. We worked 40-60' of water with 50' being our best. Riggers 20-40' down with 40-60' leads. NBK's and Glow Green Spooks were our studs. Cracked off a good one on a Reef Runner Bare Baked Coral as well. Big fish took a Green flasher/A-TOM-MIK Ultra Glow Green on a 10 color core. We went 7 for 9 on Salmon and had 2 lakers. Afternoon trip - Our afternoon guys were from Excellus, and one of the guys was the new owner at Bathtub Billys Bar. They also were spoiled in the 4 hours they got to fish with us. They couldn't believe the size of the fish, and how much fun Lake Ontario can be. We fished the same water from the morning. Our divers out 125' on 3 were studs with Frost Bites. NBK's were still going on our riggers 30-40' down with 40-60' leads. We went 3 for 7 on Salmon and took 3 LT as well.

If anyone would like to ride along with a tourney team and operate a camera Friday and Saturday this weekend at the WHI we are looking for 4-6 people. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sorry, the person who took over the social media aspect for the weekend put it under the WHI Facebook page. I'll update the 1KADay and the Salmon Slam pages first thing in the morning. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
