GAMBLER

I'm going to purchase a 400' copper set up and a 500' copper set up. I will also pick up some more flies and spoons.

Is the parking lot still fenced?

Even if a flasher is not firing, it should be left in your spread. Flashers suck fish into your spread from a distance. They may not hit that rig but they turn away and see a spoon and crush it. Without it in your spread, that king may not come into your spread. The OLD LOGIC of flasher/ fly rig are for August is out the door. Too many people still go by this old logic. I start running flashers in May and leave them in my spread all season.

Larry, Forcing Spin Doctors? Spin Doctors have a speed range of 1.5 - 4.5 on the fast setting and .5 - 1.5 on the slow setting. If you can't get hits on Spin Doctors in a current, try changing the setting. With a speed and temp unit, you should be able to get a Spin Doctor to work. If the speed at the ball is 2.8 in slow current and 2.8 in a stronger current, the Spin Doctor should work them same. Just adjust your boat speed.

I start out with on flasher in my rigger spread and atleast one on a wire.

Fished Conesus last Friday with a buddy from Hawaii. Casted along the weedlines for a couple hours with only a couple of follows. Decided to start trolling and nailed a 42" Northern on a point. The fish came in 22 FOW. The pig took a Bomber Long A deep diver in firetiger. I will post the pictures when my buddy emails them to me.

That is a juvenile king. That fish would spawn next season.

Rick, I thought TJ had a buyer?

Next years juvinile kings and steelhead will be out there all the time at this time of the year. You will still find some spawners lingering out there too. Most tribs. get late runs of kings. Usually the Genny sees a second good run around Halloween. The steelies don't hit most tribs until Halloween also. Go out there and fish in the section of water above the thermalcline. The steelies can be anywhere in that slug of water but for the most part, the kings are down near the thermalcline. Good luck.

Is this the boat that is missing the gas tank?

You can get a lot of ladder backs at the NK sale in the spring. Captains Cove in Oak Orchard has a very large selection.

Nice job LTtroller.

Nice Brownie. What a way to end the season!

FISHBANDIT, Off of Sandy, the 27 line is 450 - 500 FOW.

Tom, I hit with the lower unit in the middle of the marina not the channel. Good luck Tom.

Yes. They are starting to come in from off shore. Most of the summer, they are off shore with the steelies.

They will get dark but they will hit the streams before getting dark. Nice Coho's Andy.

Took the wife out for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon before getting the boat ready to be pulled for winter. Started fishing in 100 and the screen was blank. Trolled in to 75 fow and fished that for 2 hours. In that 2 hours we were 5 for 7 with 4 kings and one laker. The one king was a 30+ female that took a NKB mag 70 down over 75. All the fish but one came on the NBK mag. The other came on a green Spin Doctor with an Atommik Green Hammer fly. All the kings were 22+. The laker was dragged around for a while before I noticed this fish kept following on the fish finder. The creek is really low. I hit bottom with the trim up 1/2 way in the middle of the marina.

Usually Dave does respond to a post about his derby. I don't know if someone has told him about these posts in the past?

Jimski2, I'm just looking to get numbers not a slob. If we pick up a wall hanger, it will be an added bonus.

VC-17. The blisters need to be fixed first. You might want to have a coat of some kind of Vapor lock put on your boat also.

Sponge, The charter captains pay the same price as us rec fisherman to enter this derby. I see 7000 people entered the LOC Fall derby. I would love to find out how many of that 7000 were rec fisherman. If rec fisherman did not enter the LOC, the LOC would not be what it is today. Dave Chilson needs to rethink this. If he cares about his derby, he better listen us rec fisherman. Every person that voted for Rec names needs to voice there opinion also. Maybe Dave will read this and reply.

That's what the call up Sh*t Creek without a paddle!

Thanks for the advice kingfisher06. I don't really want to go over the boarder to Quinte. Too many hoops to jump through.

Does anyone know of a good Lake Erie Icefishing Guide (for walleyes)? I would like to take my father out and get him some Eyes this winter. If anyone has info on a good guide, please pass it along.
