    I have a cannon 5HS rigger that I converted to a 10HS. I added and extendable boom, and upgraded to the new style pulley end. I replaced the factory plug (pin broke) with a 6 gauge quick disconnect that is approximately 8 feet long. It comes with a Berts swivel track base, the original 24" boom, the double rod holder (only one is installed) l, and a cannon cover.

    Fish are still there. Decent numbers can still be caught east towards Oswego. The fish are still setting up and preparing to stage. Don't be afraid to drag bottom and fish the marks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    My "standard" for FF setups is 12-15' If I'm not getting movement then I'll drop one back around 25' and shorten the other one to 6-8'. I'll let the fish tell me what they like. If the fish are tight to the bottom i find the shorter leads work better for me. Just my .02 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Fishing out of FH was overall slow. We were spoiled in 2012 and 2013 With double digit number almost every trip. Last two years have been tough. Really had to work for fish. They were there but had to take full advantage of every opportunity. IMO the Amount of NE winds this year really affected my port. The fish did show up just later than usual Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    When running Ontario or any deeper body of water make sure you are using 50hz and also it helps to change your gain from auto to manual and adjust it to see more of what you are looking for. The adjustment is in lower left corner Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    It's not just Sodus, slow reports out of FH too. I've been mating out of Pulaski and one to two fish seem to be the normal. On one day someone will have a 4+ fish day but it changes people everyday with no consistency. Fish are there just can't get them to go Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Another quick trip as we were back at the dock by 10am, but we managed to take a decent one this morning. Fish hit a white green dot chip hammer fly on dipsy out 310 over 180 FOW

    Depending on the year some had electronic chokes. My father had a similar issue and it was the choke hanging up. You'd never know it by looking at the choke but once we replaced it he's been good. Any merc mechanic should be able to at least test the choke to rule it out

    Copper itself is heavy and has a sink ratio of anywhere from 4 or 5 to 1 depending on the size/weight (32lb or 45lb) of it. 600 foot of 45lb copper reaches depths of approx 120 feet. 7 strand stainless is also referred to to 1 x 7 wire meaning 7 individual strands of wire are spun together to form one piece. This is most commonly used for fishing with divers (dipsy) etc. the advantage of this is the wire tends to cut through the water better and does not collect nearly as many fleas as braid does.

    Another short trip today. Start to finish - 4 hours. Had 3 people aboard today 2 of which have never seen Lake Ontario. Brian was a minister from Denver CO and has never been on a boat before . Goal was for Kings only. Worked waters from 100 - 220 due to early quitting time. Had some decent marks from 130 - 170 anywhere from 75-100 down. Had 51* down 95. Ran two meat rigs, 2 flasher / fly combos, and Mupped spoons. Never moved a rod for the first 3 hours. Switched over to cowbells and even tried lakers wth no takers. Went back to "my program" and made one more pass before calling it quits. Pulled the copper and Both dispy rods first. Then went to work on pulling riggers as we trolled in. Rigger one was in the boat and as I secured the hook the only rigger left hooks up. Ended with a teenage King. Fish hit UV green/Mountain Dew chip with green fly down 120 over 135 FOW. Great way to end the trip and they were thrilled as it was the biggest fish the minister has ever caught. Just wish we had more time and it was a major that Lake O is known for. Sometimes in not about the size.....

    How far (deep) did you go

    Loosen the clutch knob so the spool can move slightly at the same time you pull out in the counter. Sometimes the teeth are "jammed" by the pressure

    Probe the deeper waters. Heard some solid reports outside of where you were today (250 +)

    I agree. I never did get an "official" weight but it was just bouncing the 30 line on my boat I'm one of those guys that is conservative with my numbers without a "true scale".
