  1. Distance from your ducer to the DR ball is the depth your reading.. not the actual depth of the ball. My ducer is mounted mid ship. On low frequency will 100 ' of cable out my actual depth is about ten feet shallower that stated on my 585... I adjust in my mind accordingly. Thats why I believe running a split screen is helpful. If I see fish on both sides.. I suspect they are clost to depth im reading because the narrow hi frequency is seeing them. If only on low frequency side definitely not under the boat and up to ten or more feet different from numbers shown on screen. . If your transom mounted you numbers will be closer to actual but not exact. Phew. My head hurts
  2. Ok Captain Gill.... whats the difference between a dock cleat and a boat cleat???
  3. Devoe is a "slick" dude LOL
  4. Silver Fox was joking ... I was just trying to shed some light on the color spectrum, and light penetration. suggesting using reds and orange down 60-75 ft. If you apply the scientific theory, reds and oranges are black at those depths... so if they are hitting reds at 75 ft., all the better, but they aren't seeing red like in the top 20'... just food for thought........
  5. I guess u r not a proponent of the Roy G. Biv approach to color presentation?
  6. I do no believe u will get 5 or 6' feet per color... probably more like 4 imo.. and alot of "depth" experts will tell you leadcore flattens out after ten colors or so.. so if thats true blow the dust off ur coppers... 200 n 300 coppers are my favorite on the boat.. easy to use,,, church boards of big boards,,, trout or salmon.. so versatile,,, jusy my opinion.. good luck.
  7. We were just discussing this on the dock last week... "goin again" a member here, had info on the sinking. I could be mistaken but i believe there were two boats together, don't know if both went down.
  8. East is least for sure.. but if you do fish it, cover as much of the water column as you can and then cover/troll as much water as you can.... no real secrets here... bring alot of beer and listen to the Warren Haynes channel on Pandora ...........
  9. Don't use peanuts on Lake george... skulpin/darters are not a frimary forage bait there Trailer up to Bolton Landing... Launch at Norowal marina. head into Northwest Bay (straight north) and fish in front of indian creek and south to Bell point. Fish the top ten/fifteen feet with sticks and small spoons (suttons/stingers) off boards if you could. Lakers are preying on smelt that are spawning in that creek (or any other small creek on the lake). Stop at the Outdoorsman sport shop on the way north (diamont point) Gary will hook you up (btw smelt are illegal to possess on LG) so forget live bait. good luck
  10. spring browns are ferocious eaters and will hit most anything that is properly presented... with that said size more that color has a bigger impact on success, and size can change day to day depending on the forage that is availible. IMO so break out the wallet and stock up!!!
  11. you can rig the inline to releaese and then you can half hitch a rubber band on the main line then through the rear of the board so it wont slip. then release the board at the boat leaving the rubber band on the line. reattach in the same place when you redeploy.
  12. Stay in Oswego, if you get a blow off at least you can still fish the harbor, which is very productine this time of year. http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-oswego-new_york-NY613 No knock on Screwy Louies... I stay there myself when im in FH working on my boat. Branden is a class act.

  14. Is the ice cream sandwich glow? And is the cup glow? War machine. What is the cup?
  15. Awesome.... we'll be there
  16. I tie a overhand loop knot on all the leaders and have a heavy snap on every paddle on the boat. and yes I have been yelled at by Brian.
  17. Just a question... why early april for browns? yes you can catch them then but you at the mercy of weather and cold? its late winter in my opinion. Just waiting a few weeks into May will warm the water and weather and assure you great fishing... IMO
  18. Inertia vs.jigging action! Hmmmm. Lets debate this. Lol
  19. Thanks everyone. ... all good stuff. Lol. Like everyone, I can't wait for some warm weather. sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. Al, you can be sure your position at the top won't be threatened,,, you guys are pro's!! LOL Rascal, I mean Hank!! I will hame more time for sure. Thanks again to all you guys, Stop by "Club Red" and say hi. BTW.... Red Dock has a reputation for good times and that is well deserved. Good people, great times, a small community for sure. But when its time to fish, and when there is money and stiff compitition on the line its all business for sure. Its a great combination i must say!!
  21. Thanks to all... bittersweet feelings for sure. Thirty years is a long time doing anything, but it was the right time to go. Another chapter in life begins. Danish beer sounds just fine :D Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. 44's = browns Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. All the info is good as it gets in terms of spoon n stick selection. But I believe the most important thing is matching size more than color. Spring browns are ravenous but tend to get hung up on certain size baits. Size matters! IMO Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
