Am I in an alternate universe? I drove up to the ibay launch last night and all the docks and immediate area are ice... How is anyone getting into the channel? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Would you consider a rapala j-11 small, and j-13 medium?In response to above, I had considered spoons but didnt think trolling at such a fast speed they would have the proper action. Thanks to all. It's all very valuable to me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have fished Waneta in the fall for the past 4 seasons and have only 1 catch and release to show for it. I am NOT discouraged. This is what I love about fishing. Learning and mastering. Because I only have 1 fish to show for the days I've spent there, I don't really have an idea of what size bait is more effective there. I'm guessing the musky run somewhat smaller there? Would a Storm Flatstick be a reasonable size bait? I have quite a varied size and type of lures. I cast in the very early morning until I'm bored/exhausted and then troll. Trolling speed has averaged 3.5mph. My next outing I will try a faster troll. Looking for any input...

No question a spoon bite. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That would be cool. I've never seen one. How big were they? And were they handling them or dumping them in the water? Quite a few of them?

Launched in the river solo at 8am and started setting lines on the way out. Immediately after dropping the 2nd rigger I had a King on. Before I got that fish in the 2nd rigger line was screaming. Boated the 1st fish and brought the other to the back of the boat where it popped off. Set lines again and got a 3rd flatline out with a jointed firetiger Challenger. That line would go on to have 3 Kings on and lose all 3. Each time the hooks were bent over. Those have got to be changed. EVERY time I made a pass by the pier heads or into the river I was hooked up. Went on to boat 5 Kings ranging from 18-24 lbs, and 2 browns. One gorgeous 8lb brown, and a small one that was foul hooked. All revived and released. This was easily the best solo run I have ever had and I can't imagine that the 3 or 4 other boats out there this morning weren't enjoying the same. River temps at 60 degrees, and lake as low as 48. Magnum orange/black Moonshine did most of the damage this morning. Also took a fish each on DW superbread, and DW magnum Firefly. 7 for 11 Today was the perfect setup. Almost no boat traffic, cloudy, cold temps, and a bit of rain runoff. It was as if every King left in the lake was headed in.

Absolutely yes. Went 2 for 4 this am solo. Boated a brown and 24 lb female king. Lost a screamer. Early on was hooking up nearly every pass by the piers. Saw many hookups on other boats. Should still be good for a week or 2.

So hard to come by a fish in that class. Good for you guys! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great steelhead! Gotta make them enter before going out. Its a given youll land a pig like that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Really enjoyed your reports this year and look forward to next years! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Never fished that mid day slot before. Not too shabby!

You got that right! I will never go back to manuals. When the bite is on and like previous summers dropping down to 100+ fow...no more thanks.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hmmm. Glacier speed. I think Ill stick with my new Walkers. Those ARE fast. To the classified section they will go. Any ideas on what a fair price for a pair with swiveling bases would be? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Have not tested on the water yet. Fast retrieve? Any idea on the age of them based on pic? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

There it is... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Bought a new to me boat that came with a pair of these. Very nice condition. The booms are 4 foot long. Cant find any label on them but assume they are some variant of a mag 10 electric? I just got a pair of tournament electric walkers and am wondering if the consensus is that these are better? Oops the pic didnt load. See below.
