  1. If this isn't a sign of luck to come, I don't know what is! Tired little guy landed on my finger! Then a fish hit and I didn't see where he went... hopefully not downstairs!
  2. I believe they are Okumas, the black was hard to see against the water though so I went to home depot and got some neon teflon tape... they had orange, green, yellow, and pink... Theresa was with me, so, well, now I have pink rods lol
  3. Arrived at Da Bar, only boat here. 53deg surface, 51deg down 45. Screen is pretty blank.
  4. Better days are comin Kyle! June is going to be slow this year though! Nick
  5. Uploads are going slow tonight, but here is the first fish we caught today.
  6. Sorry I haven't been keeping up with our non fishing reports! We've been driving all over NYS trying to find a replacement cooler for the swim platform. Finally found a 120qt that should fit at Gander. Yesterday though we did get to visit the Niagara wine trail on the Canadian side. After being stuck in bridge traffic for nearly two hours, we stopped at two wineries... Caroline Cellars and Pillitteri. Caroline's has good icewine for a very low cost (by icewine standards), while Pillitteri has some amazing red wines although very expensive. They didn't have the shiraz I loved last year, but we found some at the duty free shop on the way home. The sangovese icewine was pretty spectacular as well! We also stopped by Niagara-on-the-lake and ate at our favorite restaurant, Corks. Their fish fry is spectacular! And since Theresa got her braces off last month, we had to stop at the chocolate shop to get her favorite, a candy apple covered in nuts!
  7. Looney, I'm a firm believer in the sooner you get to the rod the better. Some fish are hooked hard and no matter.what won't come off. Others that aren't hooked well will shake the hook with any slack. A lot of the hits were on the fixed slider down 140ft and the fish would scream to the top, so I had to real like crazy to keep up!
  8. The blowback didn't seem much worse once I passed the 120 mark actually. But I'm guessing the blowback om turns was what was making the rigger line tangle with my dipsey when the fish hit and shot to the surface.
  9. I'm confused (happens a lot) Is it the best six fish out of the legal 12?
  10. I have only marked maybe 5 good hooks the last three days. I figured they must be down deep and I heard from contacts they were catching some deep.
  11. Another fiesty king. Everytime we get a fish on that deep rigger it gets into our wire diver for some reason... getting very annoying!
  12. We caught a big one, but havin a REAL hard time gettin it in! No matter which way I turned he just kept turning towards me. I think he just wanted to say hi?
