Spin Doctor versus Pro troll E chip Just curious guys. I have always had better luck trolling Spin Doctors with Atommik flies for kings. I have caught very few on the pro troll E chips. Does anyone else have the same luck or am I doing something wrong with the E chips?? I try to notice what the charter boats are using but it seems to be a about a 50/50 split on what they are using. Just curious what everyone else does.

yes i meant copper.LOL thanks. I will be giving them a try shortly

I agree with Gator. I have bought many spoons from him and they are by far the best quality spoons I have in my arsenal. Always got my order with a few weeks. King of sting is still the best spoon for late August and Early September for staging kings. I came across a few post quite a few months ago on face book that he had suffered some kind of medical emergency and was in the Hospital. Not sure if thats what is also adding to the issues. its to bad it has come to this and he has taken money from so many

Brass stingers Just curious if anyone on here uses or has had good luck using the brass stinger spoons??. I came across some at a fishing show and they were really cheap so I bought them. They are all of the current popular colors just done on hammered brass.

I have had all the same problems as sid. I probably spent another $600 on spare parts and probes for that pos sub troll I had. Lat spring I finally had enough and tossed it in the dumpster and bought a Fish Hawk. Best thing I ever did. It works totally awesome and without a doubt helped me catch more fish. Its simple to use and way less parts to break of fail than the sub troll. Do yourself a favor and buy a Fish Hawk.

Thanks for the info! I was fishing mid July this summer in about 80' of water and the browns were on the bottom. I couldn't buy a bite unless I had the spoons at least 50' behind the ball. (I was running 12 pound fluro leader). When I stretched them back about 80' the bite was more consistent. I was just wondering what everyone else does in the summer when fishing for Browns with set backs off of the riggers. I also had good luck with running dipsies off of the bottom for them as well.

How far behind the ball do you run your spoons for Browns in the summer?? I was running them about 40' this summer and had marginal luck with them

I do the same. Even works with mid summer time surface temps. Just don't leave them swimming in the 70 degree water to long.

Bout Time I was up the last two weeks of July. I took 4 kings in 90' of water. Biggest was 26 pounds. Don't be fooled, those are kings on the bottom. If you find bait at a certain depth and its close to being in temp, the kings will be there. Those depths were also loaded with browns!

The full moon could be messing up the bite. Will be back at it in the morning. Hopefully they are hungry. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Tough day fishing. Only 1 steal head. Tried trolling east to moon beach. Not much happening that way. Marked very few bait or fish. Will go west tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Grey Ghost. Will be out tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Anybody having any luck off of Fairhaven? Just wondering how deep the thermocline is. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have found anywhere from 2.1 to 2.5 down speed. I have never caught anything tolling faster.
