There are no fish in olcott. You best stay away.

The Canadian side of the bar is a good option on an East wind blow.

Les, keep in mind those finger lakes have steep contour lines that while your boat is over 150’, the lateral planing of the dipsy could be over 115’. I found the blood run tackle dive chart done with the fishhawk probe to be accurate. Again, minor variance with currents, speed and baits being dragged. -
Best to compare with the ring but may only vary by 5’ max depth.
-
Emptystringer, they are equivalent to within a few feet. Mag vs mag and standard vs standard.

60 mph gusts tomorrow should have that ice flying again -
Ugly stick one piece 7’ light action downrigger rod

All they had to do is use the internet to alert hunters of the overpopulation of moose on the island and let hunters take care of it.

Everyone wants to make sure you have every tool in the toolbox. Something different to try are R&R tackle’s Kodiak Wobbler blank. These have a very different crazy action. The mag version produced very well last year. -
State and Federal employees. Weekends may mean overtime.

Know your depth chart. Distance back to depth achieved starts out 2:1 then will start planing out to a 3:1 ratio with a standard Dipsy. Setting on the dipsy, current direction, boat speed, and bait presented (flasher vs spoon) all play a roll in depth achieved. You would be hard pressed to get deeper than 80’ down with a standard diver size (approx 300’ out). The mag divers will stay 2:1 longer and get you 115’ with 300’ out. Once you know the depth chart, it is simply dialing in the amount of line out to achieve the depth the fish are for that day/time of year. If you are unsure of depth where fish might be you can “fish” your dipsy by setting them out on a light drag so they slowly creep out and then note the line counter if a fish hits. Leader length for me is based on rod length. With the diver at the tip of the rod, the leader is long enough to go around the handle of the reel and back up 1/2 to 3/4ths the length of the rod. If you get out late April into May, start your dipsy out 80-90’ as a good starting point.

You are you uniquely qualified for Lake Trout as a prison guard.........you are used to poop flingers! -
Northportnailer.com. Go to accessories section and click on lure tape. Lots of colors to choose from. -
I rigged a 200’ and a 225’ weighted steel to fill in the gap past an eight color. I won’t fish any junk line longer than an eight color. I can report out this spring on how it is working out. Braid backing for me.

There is a winery/beer breweries that also makes its own root beer. A little something for everyone.
-
I drove by the upper river today and there was no ice coming down that I could see. The boom looks to be holding.
-
Those large metal cylinders are what float the metal cable. The metal cylinders and the cable is considered “the boom”. -
I have used chubs and shiners behind a dodger.

Planning a possible spring olcott browns trip

Check modis satellite image before you go. Some water color is good. Brown mudwater after heavy rain is bad. Sometimes the image will reveal which port to go to. -

The boom has broken a few times in recent memory. I went over the skyway and was able to see ice as far as the eye can see.

The ice boom broke on Erie. This means an earlier spring in Niagara County and potentially a faster dispersal of fish lakewide after the May flurry on the west end.

You get a chance to see some of the local news out of Buffalo there is some great video of shove ice growing like tectonic plates colliding.

The crap just started here in Buffalo. It’s coming.
