You can run them on leadcores or coppers and wire with dipsys as well and I run it where the leader meets the copper or core rather than at the lure itself so that little weight of the instrument the weight is distributed better. At a real slow speed it will make a difference but at high speed this difference is reduced as the copper or leadcore lifts upwards at the lure at the end of the leader and is pulling so the added weight of the unit itself is in my opinion not all that great an influence and even if so would not amount to more than a few ft in any case. If higher accuracy is neeed perhaps a TempTroll would be better but for the price I'm comfortable with the TD for this particular thing.

The deepest area on Honeoye is 30-32 ft. so I'm sure the temps are high but the eutrophic nature of the lake with its high nutrient loading combined aslo suggests very poor oxygenation.....
-
I think Zack is right and usually by now the water temps have been reduced somewhat so things aren't usually as pronounced as this for such a long time. I imagine the weed growth is insane this year too. It is a shame but the lake is very eutrophic and subject to polution extremes as well.
-
Good luck with it Stan. You should get some idea of the rise in the wire from insertion to coming up to speed too as well as the temps although that data will be limited due to the fact that it probably won't be going very deep.
-
I think the difference would be minimal at those speeds.

Stan - If ou have a Fishawk TD hook it up to the copper to tell you where it is running.
-
Ben- Just an FYI - Probably the time to fish the canal would be on the way out or back as it is located near the bridges going onto the Cape (either Bourne or Sagamore bridges) as you will be located on the outer Cape at Eastham and it is an hour or two depending on traffic (less than max now that the tourist season is past)

Keith the way you tell if the 99 percent chimp DNA has been exceeded is when Jim "lip smacks" when he hauls in a walleye or perch

I think they need to jack up lake Ontario to make it a level playing field out there. Seriously, I hope this situation gets straightened out at some point....many of the businesses along the shore can't afford to take another hit....and probably most of the cottage owners as well.

You can fish right off the warf for smaller fish at Wellfleet harbor.

Eastham-Orleans is where Nauset Beach is and also up the road on Rt6 is Coastguard beach and others going toward Truro and they can each be possibilities depending on water and weather conditions. If you want to get bait and Tackle and get the scoop on what is happening there go to Blackbeards Bait and Tackle. (3700A) Rt 6 right near where you are staying. They will know what is happening and where and even how far off shore the stripers are running. Here is their phone number: (508)240-3369 Thye will have everything you could need including a tide chart etc. If you intend to get a charter. see Hap Farrell at Stunmai Charters in Rock Harbor which is about 5 minutes from where you'll be as it is near Orleans the first turn past the rotary toward Provincetown will take you to Rock Harbor and the marina there. The Land Ho right in Orleans has incredible food and some of the best clam chowder on the Cape and one of the coolest bars where many charter captains hang out. Some of the places will be either closed down or in the process of shutting down about now and if the charters aren't operating check out the Land Ho and ask there is anyone is still fishing out there. You might also want to check out the harbor in Wellfleet just up the rode a few miles on 6 toward Ptown. I think they have an annual Oyster or Scallop thing there in October and it is a cool town to hang out

Ben - Not sure where on the Cape you're going but should be action in the Cape Cod canal and depending on water temps etc. Nauset Beach and off Monomoy near Chatham (if you are able to boat fish). Sand eels work work like magic in the rip tides there for the stripers.As nmentioned the seals can be a problem almost anywhere you go

Welcome aboard Ian. I think you will find some very dedicated and capable musky fishermen among the various fishermen on this site and they share wonderful information and experiences with the rest of us. Cancer has touched many of our lives and as mentioned stay as positive as you can as it does make a significant difference. We wish you the best of luck with your treatment as well as the fishing for the toothy beasts and will be interested in hearing about your upcoming adventures

Good going Mike and congrats on the overall. Do you have the place results etc.? -
Although I share concerns about privacy and potential improper use by "big brother" folks should be more concerned about the private use of drones as hazards to safety, interference with aircraft, and the potential for terrorists and "nutcases" to remotely deliver explosives etc. The fact that they aren't being closely regulated and are widely available without any controls is pretty scary.

Mike I suspect that the water temps will go down considerablty over the next two weeks and this is directly related to disolved oxygen levels inthe water and also affects fish metabolism. They are more fragile in this exceptionally warm water right now (with reduced oxiygen) and I suspect that Pequod's method may be all that is necessary by the 15th as that water should be sufficiently cooled down. If not, the aerator combined with just putting a couple cubes in the water gradually every so often should keep the water suitable in a decent sized cooler without a ton of other fish in it using up the oxygen. Just keep the other fish to be kept in a bucket or something. -
For the last ten years I have done the same as Justin...one in the boat one in my wallet.

Was that 6th one a large imaginary fish Brian?

If anyone can get it figured out today it will be you Brian. What is the weed report?

I'm sure that guy was glad you were out there anyway

Pap I don't actually use any of the front releases I tighten them down to the max (carefully) and sometimes if rough water I wrap the braid a couple times around the release so it doesn't slip and release and then I take the boards off as they come in whether fish on or not. If you bring them in fairly quickly they won't "dive" on you. If they do - point the rod downward right at them and they will surface. The flags on my boards are only for visual aid to keep aholes from running over them. -
