With my wife and son and my mom niece and nephew it's not like we got an early start but I searched for some marks before we set the lines. They were anxious and before you know it and before I knew it we were in 55 FOW with balls dragging and dipsies banging bottom we were hooked up. Nice bow and laker on the first north troll with the waves. As the eclipse approached the wind lied down and we hit another laker on a rigger. Trolling south but again wind had stopped. While we brought the third fish to the net a laker on rigger the 200' copper on a board started peeling drag. I grabbed it and knew it was a good one. The kids all had a chance so I gave the rod to my wife and let her bring this one in to the net. We ended up 4/4 over 3 hours the last bow was 3.8 lbs and hot around 1:15 just as eclipse was beginning. We swam after to cool off and and watched the eclipse with welding goggles (13 protection). It was a sight to see, without the goggles we would not have seen anything. We could really look at the sun for a few seconds and see the eclipse and then look away for safety sake. We panfished during the eclipse and could not get bit. Heard crickets and cicadas as we were close to shore when swimming during the eclipse it was evident there was something going on. Sun was less intense and it felt cooler. Awesome day spent with family. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I came across a diagram of these lights and cannot find an answer as to what it is in my internet search, so in the spirit of Longline's fun quizzes, I thought I would propose the question to the LOU members. Thank you for playing along.

Thanks Captain Rick, it's been a long time. I learned so much from you and your father and brother, some good times had with you guys. Now I am sharing those good times with my son, it's pretty cool!

Breadman this is the better picture of Sunday morning. I took it while I was waiting for you. You did not see it because you were probably still riding down route 332 or warming up in the Sutter's bathroom.

Hey Great Lake Lure Maker, what size are those KW's? Also do you mean black and purple in your abbreviations? Also who came in first place by the way? My money was on Iron Duke.

Breadman and I went out in my boat for a quick morning trip at 7:30. We wanted to jig for lakers but the wind was howling out of the south so we trolled. Set up near the pump house, trolled south to Menteth. We had one hit on a wire diver near the white Wegman's house but that one came unbuttoned. We turned north at Menteth and hooked up again on a wire diver. Small laker but a keeper around 22" and skinny. We headed north into the wind and only had a another wire fire around german bros with a small bow around 17" let him go. Pretty colors starting, pretty rough water the whole time, back at the dock at 9:45. We had the south wind blowing giving a following sea at our back on the ride in. I was WOT and hit some big waves that made it fun. Although I did slide in close on the west side to ride the rest of the way in in some slightly calmer water. Did not see another boat until on the way in, there was blow boat race near the yacht club and some bass or perch fisherman in the shallows of the north end.

Hi Paul I waved to you when you came up to Pelican Point, I was in a Sea Ray with a blue top. We trolled, tough bite, fleas, weeds, blank screen from Pelican to Long Point, Menteth to Black Point. We reached the condos and turned out to the middle to go back north and ffianlly put a 6 lber in the boat on wire diver. We had another one on heading north near Long Point and one of our guys dropped it.

The manufacturer webpage for your vessel shows track mounted on the gunwale. http://starcraftstarweld.com/showroom/1800-series/1800-pro Check out Traxtech layout pics, putting your riggers forward of your transom will make it easier to work them. Kneeling on the seat or box at rear to work a rigger mounted to a board could be a pain. http://www.traxstech.com/Page_26.php

I took my son Liam out this afternoon. We were on the water around 4:30 and it was so nice out there. We trolled three riggers with flashers, 47, 57 and 67 feet down. We had good marks in the north end on the east side. Switched colors a few times and Liam picked out a a combo from the box and wouldn't you know wham. He got to reel in his first rainbow. It wasn't big but it was fun and he agreed to release him to grow bigger. We were back at the dock at 7:00.

Headed out with breadman for an afternoon trip. We set up 2 riggers, 2 wires, and 2 coppers. We started in the north end heading south on eastside we passed sk8man around 2:30. Flasher flies on the wires had been working for breadman for awhile so we had some of his favorites out there and I ran spoons of the riggers and mix of spoons and stickbaits on copper. We got our first fish on the eastside on wire 125' out with green dot pro troll with mirage fly around 3:20. We kept east circling back north to our waypoint and ended up finding the dragon wall hump. I haven't hit it in awhile and breadman had never seen it. Depth there on the hump is about 26' when you are trolling in 65'-75' before you hit it. We didn't lose anything but spent some time cleaning my lines and my balls and reset everything. Switched to flasher flies on the riggers now and the coppers. We circled west and then headed north again when we got to another hump west of Rocky Island again 23' of water under the boat and no where near the Dragon Wall. We were marking fish and bait 35'-45' down and 65'-70' but after two mishaps with the structure we moved west. The fleas were bad as mentioned by sk8man and fbog, lots of cleaning out there but we were marking fish. We head south on the west side from German Bros. to almost Tichenor Point, think we saw fbog trolling east away from Tichenor as we worked south. Gave up on west side with the blank screen and headed east again. Popped another rigger as we headed northeast at 5:00 on the wonderbread flasher mirage fly combo. Al worked the rod but the fish got the best of him behind the boat and came unbuttoned. We reset 13' back and 55' down and continued east. We began heading north on eastside again marking bait and fish 35'-55' down. Rigger goes again with wonderbread mirage combo. Now it's my turn, and we flop a nice 6 lb. lake trout on the deck. The time was around 6:15. I kept telling Al about the best solarlunar time was while we were fishing but I ended up having the time wrong but we did well regardless. I need to pick up a couple wonderbread spin doctors for the cloudy days out there. Wind picked up out of the northwest around 6:30 and rain by the time we had the boat back at the dock by 7:15.

Lively1 you need to to take a day out with another fisherman and watch what they do. I have been reading this thread and you need to see how someone else fishes.
