Legacy

Succesful turkey opener! Not the bird I was looking for but it certainly tastes the same. Straight from the roost had a few hens pass through the decoys with at least 5 jakes. Very surprised to not see any big toms in the group.

‎4 hour trip on saturday lead to a Lake Ontario super slam boating a King, Laker, Brown, Coho, Steelhead, Atlantic, and a bonus smallmouth. Crazy morning to say the least with 40+ bites and 30+ fish landed. 10 fow and never far too from home (Newmans Point to Cowsucker Creek). 12# Blood Run fluorocarbon leaders with DW ss off the riggers and a mix sticks off the boards did all the damage. 2-2.2 gps and trolling direction didnt seem to matter.

Good stuff!

Mother nature put us a little behind schedule this year but finally dropped the boat in the water for the season on friday. Sunday afternoon conditions seemed perfect for a shakedown cruise and of course get a few lines wet. Leaving the pier heads I noticed a big "chocolate milk" plume out of the mouth and as far as the eye can see to the east and alot of fishable green water every where. After a quick boat ride we snuck into 10 fow and setup. Our first fish of the season was on before the line even made it into the release. We spent about 3 hours working a half mile section west of the plume. Solid action off the boards and the stickbaits color or size didnt seem to matter. The riggers were firing with a DW ss nbk and a Stinger black fin. The bite was mostly Browns with 5 Lakers and 4 Cohos mixed in. We landed 23, lost a few in the prop wash, and also had a few knock offs. Couldnt asked for a better shakedown!

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes!

The fish were successfully delivered to the pens yesterday. Anyone interested in helping with the feeding schedule please email Capt Bob Holden [email protected] Thanks!

Im switching over all of my downrigger rods to Ugly Sticks (1101) this season. Running Ugly Sticks for copper rods really turned me on to them. They really deal with abuse well!

I wouldnt bother with leadcore unless you are fishing over 20 fow. 25' leaders of flouro

okuma 45s would work well for both for you

9' ugly sticks are nice http://www.atommiktrollingflies.com/uglystick.htm

Key West what a great place and I have 1 word... Teasers!

Happy Birthday Tom!
