started west of sodus temp 50 degrees at 85 ft took some nice kings at 270 85 down on watermelon paddles.Kings are getting dark so darker paddles work betterset them up 85 down and ten feet back with a 36 in leader on the fly trooled about 2 good luck,some bits and dipseys using spoons. -
great trip,i was out also solo today.i took three majors and some lakers and small kings.Majors came on the riggers with watermelon paddles and rainbow flies about 3 ft. backThe paddles were set about ten feet from the ball and ran slow about two mph.The last one was huge close to thirty and took almost a hour to boat.I did not take any long runs just buldoged behind the boat.

hey nick, glad you had a good day. Yesterday was very good for me. I started using my old diamond kings with some glow and green added .i probably could have filled the cooler also but three was all I could take.The fish came from about the same depth.Im going tomorrow afternoon ,short on a crew and every day early is tough.I also have a old setup with dodger fly and silver horde that is deadly on kings over dee[p water.tomorrow later Ill put them out.Only need two rods to fill a cooler.

went out solo and fished 200-250= Got my first strike puting downa rigger.ten pound king on glow white ms green dots.later I was 6 for nine hits.five kings from 20s to tens.one steelie on a mag diamond king glow tape on black dipsey 200 ft. of wire out.All fish came from glow white with green or red dots or tape.It would have been alot more if I could put more rods down with help. One good thing alot of people cooperated on the radio and more caught fish. Share info with your fellow fisherman and the sport will not die. The more people talk on the radio the more fisherman will be out.In the old days everyone helped each other and few relied on the cell phone.

For guys replacing boat floors I would recommend a synthetic floor or presure treated plywood..Coosa is one but there are others cheaper.One thing is you dont need to fiberglass or cover the floor and it will never rot.My 19gls has some weak areas around the seats but ok for now.Keeping a boat dry while out of the water will extend it's life indefinely along with motor preventive maintence.I still have my old out boards and they still run like new.A 1988 120 evinrude,9.9 1981 evinrude and a 1978 9.9 johnson.

pheasant hunting is good if you pay.Whispering Pines has a good deal.i joined there for this fall.We have corrmants here in pultneyville.Maybe a dozen or so and there small.Now my heron that comes to our pond is a huge bird.I bet it's four feet tall and could swallow a 2 lb bass with ease.Im glad you had good luck at erie with smallmouth.It seems there are many small bass now surviving the goby.Time will tell. Good fishing .Also remeber it's not catching.LOL

Thirty plus years trout and salmon on Ontario.

Flasher/fly trolling speed?
john1947 replied to Dipsey's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
the killer rig for us was a small dodger usaly glow with specs and a fly or squid close to the ball about four feet.We put on a cheater about two fhree feet above with a small horde following the fly or squid.This worked very well on deep kings and we also ran it between 1.5 and 2.0 on our kingfish. -
used are cheap if you can find one,make sure they fit your boat
