Netting Techniques- lost 3 today -bad technique
fisherdude replied to garrymny's topic in Tackle and Techniques
here is one i like to do when the king comes a long side of the boat, the driver slows down and the king will start to go faster then the boat and will move away from the side of the boat . the rod man reels down the driver speeds up the net guy is in the back corner and the king will comes to him . so it can be netted from behind . all in the timing .. -
Sodus 7/ 22 solo trip again, went 9 for 9 today all spoon bite . started in 140 fow water trolled to 200 fow turn around trolled back to 150 fow then back to 200 fow did two kings pick up and ran out to 400 fow set and trolled to 560 fow ,the bite was pretty good out deep . stringer uv spoon did the job for me . riggers 75 to 110 with cheaters . nadda on dipsy for me ended up pulling it was getting turn around with the rollers / chop . had no tangles tho with it, did have a big king cross the dipsy rod and was able to take the rods and go under the other. spent 12 hours in the boat , was a awesome day. hoping my buddy will go tomorrow for some more action ... forgot my camera and my phone is shot time to replace it

Sodus 7/19
fisherdude replied to fisherdude's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
ryonybony ...sounds like was short a mile or two from being on steady fish . really didn't have a good starting point so i just wing it . was good lake conditions to ran out to 400 ft too . Les.... was thinking going out of Hughes but was to cheap to drive the extra miles and pay to launch so i op out for the long slow ride to the lake . hey Bob is going to start to think you have some thing to do with these tangles you guys are getting . just kidding bud good luck next time out .. -

Sodus 7/19 went solo for my first trip to ontario day . showed up at the public launch at sodus pt 5:30 . got under way at idle speed to the lake , that was 30 mins to the end of the chute . made my way out to 120 fow ,set up with spoons on the riggers and a pro troll and fly on the dipsy , the fish hawk was reading 52 degs. down 50 ft . so i park one rigger at 65 down and the other 75 ft set the dipsy at 180 ft of wire and ran my down speed at 2.3 to 2.6 . didn't see much at all on the sonar , no bait or fish till i hit 180 to 190 fow . the first release came on the 75 ft down rigger around 220 fow ended up landing a small king . then i washed spoons and flies out to 360 fow ,seen bait and marks here and there but got nada .turn around working south east when i hit the 190 fow range had my second release . landed a smaller king than the first one . at 12:30 it was warm and muggy so i called it a day . it wasn't the greatest productive day for me but better than a skunk . salmon on the grill for dinner .

i would think if it is life or death they would do a air lift at either launches . our first responders are top notch -

keuka 7/16 went out with my buddy and his son to see how Keuka lake fishing would be . left from Keuka state park at 5 30. we went 5 for 8 today all lake trout and were release to bite another day. the fish were small ,2 lb to 4 lbs . they all seem to have empty bellies . there is a big difference from Cayuga lake fish to Keuka lake fish . there was more face book time for my buddies son . we hardly mark bait but did mark small schools of fish all the way to the point . by 10 30 the recreational boats started zooming all around so we called it a morning . the water fleas were just about none . surface temp was 73 . we ran two rig rods with suttons and mi scorpion spoons one high one low with each rod doing about the same amount of hits . gps speed was 1.7 to 2.4 .

the flea gobs come from bringing in the lines and have to strip them of fleas . the wire rods cut threw the fleas and they fall where ever . when i was waxing up my kicker i notice the water intake had fleas in the small holes of the screen wasn't plug but made me think the kicker must had to drink a few , the kicker ran two 12 hour days i look at the i/o intake holes they are bigger and didn't see any fleas there but the i/o didn't run much .

Luck ?
fisherdude replied to JoeFro's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
yes that is lucky , did the rod holder brake ? i guess you didn't have bananas aboard the boat -

sounds like Les just found your problem. the braid is spinning on the spool , witch makes it look like your drag is slipping. i put elec tape on the spool so the braid seats into the tape , or you can use 50ft of mono line then the braid .

nice bow and brown Les and Mark, glad you guys got out for some quality time . we stayed mostly on the east side to the middle of the lake where we did so well for the past few weeks . it was a job with the wind, water currents and fleas . Deans Cove is pain for sure . we spent two days out of Long Point the state did a good job with this launch with as busy as it was easy in and out there .
