    Yeah, it was just a play in the process of hooking US! I mean, what better than a female you might find loving and caring, AND fishes with you! A fishing buddy right outta the blue! ...and then...and then...along came junior, along came the housework, along came shopping... For the life of me, I can't figure out why she wants to do all that and give up fishing with me:blink::blink:...huh?...I'll be darn....well;..I wonder what's fer supper when I git back from trollin today?

    If your sonar has dual frequency, the wide cone usually 50 or 83 khz will pick up the rigger weights as a steady line where you set them at. From there you can see a fish come into the sets as a line that moves up or down into the zone of your sets, known as a "streaker". The angle of your transducer and the level of your boat will dictate how much you see of your rigger sets. I have mine on split screen, and I see all three weights trolling as far down as 100 to 110 feet before losing the deepest one due to blow back or current on the 50 khz side. The 200 khz side can see the track of the weights only faintly at any depth. That is where I like my transducer angled. See the weights on 50 real plain, just make them out on 200 while trolling normal speeds of 2.4 to 3 mph.Mark Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have seen the streakers coming in and usually it means you could be fishing a bit out of the fishes hang out temp. I have seen them climb from depths and go down through the riggers from above and keep going off the screen way down. If they hang behind the set for a bit, sometimes a speed change will trigger a strike. Sometimes a presentation called the mupp set where you pin a mag size spoon 6 - 8ft above a 28 size spoon of the same pattern will entice a strike as the fish peels away off the mag spoon and sees the 28 size as a smaller straggler and right over its head as it dives off. A second chance meal, so to speak. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    You have downriggers, you can stack divers or a copper on the cable above the ball and reach depth with your longline. But another report says most bites are coming out of temp right now. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yes, big boards best and otters I would suggest not pinning down a specific depth to fish for all things. Yes you can fish 80 feet with 400 copper, but someday those fish may be deeper and then neither will hit the mark. Just my opinion, but the 400 in 45 and 600 in 30 will cover it all to 100 ft. on two different planes running at once. Now you have flexibility and if you want both to run at once at 80 let the 30 lb out 450. Now you have 2 coppers running different planes and separation but same depth. Consider different times of year when 80 feet is not the presentation depth. You will have less options in your equipment with two 400 setups.

    Yes..way offshore. 450 and more. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Well, its entirely possible to get down to 140 with the right equipment, but that doesn't mean necessarily finding feeding salmon there. Fish the bait in the early morning offshore. If ya see bait consistent in higher water column I would fish that. Salmon don't always hang in 46 to 52 degree water and neither does their food. I wouldn't worry what the reports are saying too much about temp and stick with reports on catch. It will all change in a few days anyway.

    I like my 300 in 45 lb and the 600 in 30 lb. The 600 can be let out any length and sinks 18 feet every 100 out. The 300 I run knot at the water line for 60 to 65 down depending on speed an lure type. The advantage of different tests is having both coppers running at once and they are on different planes to help eliminate tangled equipment. I count passes of the line guide for the 600 out to shorter lengths. Two coppers cover everything that way for me down to 100 feet. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Better be careful...that's why they are called "junk"...yours might end up in the "junk" yard...Without the cables attached! On second thought...offer to take her out for rocky mountain oysters!..that should make ammends, or might reinforce the swine annotations...Hmmmmm?

    It was a grand weekend for the offshore kings! Nice fishing Rick!..part of the thrill you're missing in those waves with that Trojan, is riding in a 24 foot center console with the skipper at the helm! You get your wings after that! LOL! Yehawww! I passed Capt. Mick out near 27 line, he called me and said we were flying! Great photos you got!..nice job my friend! Mark Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I know!...I never would use braid like power pro...but over 3 years now, I have run wire next to fireline and fireline "FUSED ORIGINAL" in 30 lb was less flea collection than wire. Wierd right!?.. but true. Check a spool of it sometime, feel the line. It is slickery! Small walnut size clumps will stick occasionaly, but one slap on the surface and gone! If my friend tcon Tom comes on here he can attest to it. The stuff ran equal time in same water during the Sandy Shootout and it excels over malin 7...it just works..fused...not Crystal type.Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    If you get a chance to pick up some fireline fused original 30 lb...try it instead of wire or mono. It works like wire but without fleas and no stretch like mono has. I am considering change to fireline on all diver rods. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yup, they were bad on the 30 lb malin 7. That rod ran at least an hour before the retrieve. About 2 feet at the diver. Everything else was clean...zero fleas on 30 lb Ande rigger rods.Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Excellent job John!..you did very well without a net on those big slobs!..so much can go wrong when boating a big salmon by yourself...and more so without a net!..congrates on the 30+ and the mount will have a good storyline to tell for years when everyone is looking at it hanging in the den!
