  1. Better than most the Las few days and if you think thats super slow you haven't been fishing mexico long enough [emoji28] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. I have a sphar 1212 id be willing to sell Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Its a fish under your boat heading in your general direction of travel Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. I have one auto inflatable for myself since I fish solo at times and a couple of regular ones that I have for anybody I might come on board or I guess as a backup for me I just need to make them more available and I need to make myself wear the inflatable one more often if you watch for sales the auto inflate one sometimes you can find a decent price Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Whistles and light sticks being added next time im at my boat! Im gonna bungee a vest behind each of my front two seats and cargo the spares along the side Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. high position aiming down-ish sounds good to me. You just watch out with that super awesome aiming system. I can retaliate with high intensity mountain bike lighting to the rear
  7. Your gonna need to jack up the radar on a mount extension or put the spot light off the bow. The light would impare the signal at least a little and in exactly the wrong place (forward). Ive seen others with them right off the bow, granted a remote turning system would be needed if you want to aim it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. I'll just add that fish out of temp can be cranky. Where fish in temp can be a little more workable. Not always though. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. I love the fish shoes. He's all in!
  10. you know the weird thing is that it seems to go off the rails for like 2 weeks in July then it is quite manageable after.
  11. Back when they first showed up i thought i had heard (or read) that alewives wouldn't or couldn't eat them because of the spiny features. I always thought of them as a negative because they clog your line AND compete for the same food as the alewives. I guess that info (or at least my recollection)was wrong. Thats good to know that they are a food source for alewives. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Its a damn shame Cortland doesnt make the flea flicker line anymore. I got lucky and bought a 2500yd spool of 30# just before it was all gone. Im still working with it and have 1000yds left. Im gonna cry when its gone. I barely get anything on my rigger lines. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. too clean...needs crap hanging out of all of the storage spots lol.
  14. Based on what I'm seeing I wouldn't rule out Wright's landing yet. as of now while the marina is closed the ramp and the parking for the ramps seem to be okay The future is uncertain though but this season is probably still okay something to look into for you Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. For now the word seems to be that its fine. Comments are about the final plans which remain to be seen.
  16. I see others posting differently about launching (not the marina). If its not ideal but workable, let them go there. Don't draw them to Mexico unless its true. I've seen your posts (in general) so I'll say I'm not sure which is which. If I'm wrong I apologize, if you are poop stirring please don't.
  17. All's fair. Shipping riggers is tough. Sellers choice.
  18. In case this helps. I have his weights in 3 sizes. One thing I have taken to doing is putting a very slight kick in the tail and making one specific to each side port / starboard. It helps for deeper conditions fishing in some current. I had a pair of 12#'ers get together 1 time in cross current fishing deep. No big deal, ended well. I put the kick in the tail and never had an issue since.
  19. Good question....not a bad watermelon type pattern. @Hachimo didn't look until now but this pattern...keep! Stinger NBK is a king /brown killer. Go Mag too!
  20. You did good and your intentions and actions were awesome. Kids will be kids, dads will be dads and the whole of us will continue to obsess over (and enjoy) a sport that makes us nutty at times. If it didn't make me nutty I wouldn't want in on it every year so bad!
  21. Calendar. June +/- is always a challenging month. Equal spread of preferred water temps always spreads the fish. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. This! …….and when a deeper rigger fires, put the shallower rigger at the deeper rigger location and set the original deep rigger to the shallow position. If you want the same lure back in the deeper spot, when both are set, pull the deep one, move the shallower one deep and reset the shallower one. I learned a while ago that passing riggers (especially with flashers) can be dicey. Admittedly I tend to set my lines further back which makes it more of a potential concern. Perfect conditions and shallower-er, no problem (wider transom helps) Deeper you go the hairier it gets especially below 80 ish feet, especially > 100. My port and starboard shark weights have a slight kick in the back fin to make them plane out just a little. My center rear rigger (when I run it) is my shallowest rigger and set last. I may loose some time with my philosophy, but I don't tangle rigger lines or weights anymore so I think my time spent saves time in the long run. I really only tangled rigger balls once....fishing deep with a narrow transom boat and shark weights without the kick (plus a solid current below). I tangled lines plenty of times (in the past) and made lots of balls of twisted fuzz.
  23. Anyone do this on a Fishmaster? I'm thinking about it. More for the rocket launcher, lights etc than radar
  24. I wouldnt try to get towed in with that but for how you describe the use, as long as your bolts have full or at least 3/4 thread engagement you should be fine. If it rips out then you have bigger problems or take you family swimming in some crazy conditions. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. Noooo…..hopefully it changes. I got shut down this weekend because my wife and I were one step too close to someone who got this covid crap. I was supposed to come up last Thursday. We bailed just to be cautious and our potential connection tested negative....finally on Monday. I still have yet to float my boat. When I do I might troll until I run out of gas out of spite!
