    These cases can be avoided sometimes by usage of an air horn. It is loud and gets their attention.

    Yes, Dr Weidel’s alewife assessment for the year is now complete.

    We had a really good bite offshore today. Kings,cohos and steelhead.

    The down current was pushing out last weekend. That is why it was cold in there. New day tomorrow

    You failed to make Detective. It’s in the thread title. The green can is off the Niagara near the mouth.

    X2. Debris fields are visual “tells” that indicate an area of current wadded up a bunch of stuff and shoved it up against the bank. Bait and plankton gets pushed by those same currents. As stated, if debris is too thick, fish the edges. If just feathers and driftwood, go through it. Usually fish are up high and feeding in those areas

    The Protroll site has had blinkers for sale.

    Yesterday I tried Off deep woods spray on my legs and spread some catmint around the boat that I had growing in my yard. Flies were much less than the day before and the Off worked well enough. I think I was bit twice all morning. The catmint made an absolute mess of the boat.

    The baitfish population thanks you.

    Usually nicks are from wire. Perhaps you had your rig get tangled with another? The other possibility is the fish swam forward after hitting your rig, got the line tangled in the main line ahead of the flasher or the other wire rig before tripping the release. I caught a steelhead on Erie Sunday that showed itself by jumping behind the boat. The problem was it swam ahead and stayed ahead. We knew we had a fish on but no way of telling which rod. Three minutes later the outside board moves back.

    I agree with Vince, you need to examine some stomach contents yourself. Let me know when you are ready.

    I won’t take my boat there either. Those gaps in the concrete are going to pop someone’s tires. My brother has cottage down there so he gets the season pass. Not sure what they charge to use the fish cleaning table. Nice set up for fish cleaning though

    Yes, I think that is right. I put the surgical tubing on the release arm. With the line through the tubing, the line is probably protected as it passes through the housing to the other side. I probably should have read the directions better lol.

    Doesn’t Suzuki make the Mercury engines? If so, I would think any Merc dealer could help.

    Thanks. With the 10’s of millions of walleye in the system, nobody should be shy about posting a report. Lots of fish for everyone when they get here. I don’t think they have reached the Catt in any numbers as we noticed there were only 4 boat trailers in the Hanover lot when we stopped in to the fish cleaning station.

    Interesting. I imagine the max scent stuff might be even better. Keep the reports going. Thanks for posting!

    Right, the arm with tubing clicks down onto the line. The sharp pointy thing helps secure the line when the arm/tubing clamps the line and is located in the central housing where the line passes through to the other side of the diver.
  25. Gill-T
    A word of caution if you are clamping on mono. The little pointy triangular rumble strip that helps secure the release pressing against the line will crimp and weaken your mono. I ground those sharp rumble strips down with a dremmel tool and increased the release hold by putting a small piece of 3M double sided tape down so the release arm pinches the line down into the tape. No slippage.
