Water a little rough 1to 3. A lot of bait in 50 - 120 . No releases. 220 - 300 bait up high and one ea Brown trout, steelhead,laker and sm king Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Left the dock at 6:20 and set up in 90'. Trolled out to 250' first steelhead at 7:45 on a black and orange 28 spoon. Did 8 steelheads, one 15lb laker and one 10Lb King. All spoons. Last fish was at 12:15 and did not move a rod until we went into 140' -160' of water at 4:30. 17-1/2 lb king and a hour later another 17' king on Black and purple and NBK spoons. Sunday left the dock at 6:00 and did one steelhead at 8:00, stayed to 9:30 and left. We had a down rigger fail and wanted to drop it off at Screwy Louis. Tried to upload picture, but they failed. ANY Help would be appreciated.

5/31 On the water at 6:30, went to 25' and set up. First fish at 10:00 on a NBK and then the rest where steelheads 15' to 20' down on a black and orange with a copper back. Last fish that day at 1:00 PM. Did not move a rod for rest of the day. Went in at 4:30. 6/1 On the water at 6:00. Set up at the chute and tried the 18' water in close. 7:00 moved to 100' and started setting up and before I could set the last rod (one out four) Orange and black fires 25' down. 25" steelhead. Reset first rod and second rod fires evil eye chartreuse, black and silver. steelhead. This goes on for 1-1/2 hours then chicken wing fires 35' down. King 13lbs. Boated the fish and headed for home. All the action after the first fish was between 160' and 200'. PS. Misterclean I saw you out there and tried to radio, but not sure which channel you where on. I stay on 72.

We tried Flee Flicker and nothing but twists, 30 Lb works great. Trilene or Ande they are both good.

That was a great video, He showed you not only how to use the boards but also lures and set ups.

I also am thinking of a new unit I have a Lowrance 113 , picks up bait and fish, but I am looking at the Hummingbird 1199 hd. I want the side scanning and may add the 360 as well. We are also looking for bait , so if you cover more water, should see more bait. We also fish in depth of 16' up to 800'. In 800 we are only rally fishing done no more then 130'. The lowrance works OK.

Ultra Sheild? Who make it?

I lost two probes last year, due to stainless steel cable failure. I bought Pro Line Braid for down riggers rated at 250# test where as SS is 135#. Has anyone been using this product? At $325.00 for a probe and shark weight, I am a little cautious.

Thanks,I guess black is a good color, but I will have the the other colors as well.

What is a good Dipsey color to run, I have always ran green, but I read where black is the best color to run.

How about the east end of the lake? Any classes closer to Albany?

I say no to Big Jon, Had two booms snap with only 8Lb weights. Lost a probe. Only two options are Canon and scotty.

Well, not that you guys where much help. Looking at a Seascout for forward and side scanning. Does anyone have one of these units?

I am sure the charter guys have some equipment to find and follow bait. Considering the time and gas we spend for trolling seems like it should be productive. $ 10,000.00 is still a little pricey!

Does anyone have either forward or side scanning? I have a 2009 Lowrance before the HDLs,(down only) Looked at Furno models but they start at $ 14,000.00 and have a 3' sonar transducer. I fish a 24' 1999 Thompson 240.

Looks Like a great time, Hope the fishing is still good this weekend.

What is the best fish finder out there? I have a 2009 Lowrance with 12" screen and GPS. I added a broad band sounder. But I still can not mark bait or fish when underway. Also what about side and forward scan?

Thanks to all who replied. The 6' between the dipsy and flasher is also good to know.

Looking for infro on how to set up a dipsy. What size? How far back do you run the flasher and fly? Do you use wire or mono? Never ran one before, seems like a lot of kings are being caught on them.
