Roughrider IV

Great day for barn dog but slow across Oswego, fair haven , Sodus today . Very few fish marked this morning. NE wind overnight pushed temp into 60 ft. Friend at salmon struggled for 2 fish today. We dropped one all morning, lots of people struggled. Is what it is. Hope it picks up again.

Watching flags at fair haven, still stiff out of north 2 to 4 a good guess .

Fair haven laying down now.

Nice, we got on the water late, took 3 hits , broke off one on a parrot j plug on full core. Dropped one up high bronze spoon, 22 lb landed on sea sick waddler 300ft dipsey. Hope it lays down for tomorrow.

Thanks for the scorecard, nice to get a feel for the bite before we arrive tomorrow. See you out there!

Wow, that's gotta be one of the best eye days on Ontario Ive ever seen posted. Would you divulge depth of water? Congrats !

Between the skis and Walley , a nice morning of fishing, congrats!

I run the trailer farther back to give it seperation from diver, they see diver then a floater bringing up the rear with less action. I've run these side by side, a segmented 5 core inside and a 4 core outside i always keep the deeper rig on the inside. Easy way to travel rods is I Ty a length from tip to reel for one leader and pick an eye guide to hook second line, just so my floater travels behind diver a couple feet. We used that set up on Quinte in the one rod zone to get more lures in the water. By the way, that pink husky is a player on Quinte. Make sure you check regs for number of hooks per line. I like jr thunder stick , and rouges run in tandem. Lots of combos work.

Whatever diver you use, get the same color in a floater, 3 way swivel, 5 ft leader to floater , 3 ft leader to diver , watch this run beside the boat and leave it out with clicker on reel. I noticed aggressive fish take diver and neutral like floater usually hooked on rear treble. Floro leaders. I've taken doubles on that set more than once.

Got out today , 2 kings, 1 laker, 2 browns, no size today, temp quickly coming up this evening during NE wind . Break at 76 ft coming in at 830pm.

My daughter ran into guy running the tourney at screwy Louie's shop, he told her you can pay half price for under 10 children, if so, why is this not in rules posted somewhere. He blamed people that loaded their boat with children for extra rods. I guess he has not fished with a handful of kids on board yet. We decided not to enter.

Finally some nice water to fish, got out this morning at 6, broke off a good fish on a dipsey, landed a 21 lb king and broke off a fish that got in the dipsey wire. Came I'm at 10, picked up another crew and landed a 19.5 lb king and small brown till 130. Kings on mag spoons down 90 to110. Back at this evening.

Got out tonight and headed north to 200 ft turned around and headed southwest with following winds to fish. Temp is down to 100 ft plus, had one rigger at 132ft, 48 degrees. Decent marks into 150 then blank screen, one knockoff to show for it. I'm here all week, hope temp settles.

Finally got out of the bay tonight , headed n

My grandson loves to CATCH fish, and I love to watch him. My daughter wanted to enter us while we are up for a week, I can tell her to save her money now. Seems to me tourney is losing out on entry fees with the rules in place. I'm also here for them. Good luck guys. I'll post some pictures of the kids next week, hopefully with some fish. Joe G you are a lucky father, the smiles say it all.

Yea , I read that as kids under 10 cannot handle rods. If that's the case, I'm out.

Question, been a long time since entering these things, how does it work with 2 younger children on board. Can they catch fish? They are under 10 years old. I know all adults on board need tickets. Thanks

Excellent weekend of fishing for you. Congrats on the musky, they have great color lines. I missed the lure, you got a bigger shot? Keep up the reports, enjoy all of them .
