Does anyone use/know if the Traxstech Ball Retriever will work with Scotty 1116 downriggers? My concern is whether or not there is enough clearance for the stopper beads to fit through. Thanks in advance. Dave

Mexico fishing report
cuz replied to Logger Gen II's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Just got off the lake in Mexico. Had 3 kids between the ages of 6-11 and it was a little too bumpy for them. Tried to hold out as the lake was starting to settle, but didnt want to ruin their experience. We did have some good marks in 120fow tight to the bottom in front of catfish. Temp was waaaaayyyy down, 105 down over 120 was 48 degrees. Pretty much 75 degrees from surface to 85 down. Back at them tomorrow morning. Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Heading up early enough tomorrow to hopefully hit a night bite. I'll be sure to post, good or bad. I know this time of year guys are tight-lipped with all the tournaments and impending fall derby, but I have no problem sharing any info to help others out, that's why we're here.

Hey Hachimo, what depth were you running your riggers/dipsy's at? We were up the same two weekends as you, but stayed in tight, 10-20 fow, and did well with the browns. Coming up Thursday-Sunday and was thinking of sliding out a little deeper. As of now the lake looks like it's going to cooperate(Friday may be bumpy). -
Struggling at Mexico Pt & Oswego
cuz replied to wallychaser's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Hey Hachimo, I'm the guy from South Caanan that spoke to you Saturday evening at the dock. Sounds like you had a good weekend. We went out of Oswego Sunday morning and ended up putting some decent browns in the boat. We didn't tangle with any kings, but the browns kept us busy. I read your post about riggers being hot, then suddenly dying on you but the dipsies start firing. Keep in mind that with all the boat traffic, it will make the fish shy away from the boat, hence the dipsies become more productive because they are down and out from the boat. Lengthening the distance off the ball may help to keep the riggers firing for you when fish start to shy away due to boat traffic or high sun. -
Usually the biggest issue in the spring is floating debris, especially when motoring out in the morning.

Out of Mexico 5/6/18
cuz replied to trbean's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Nice job! Good to see some salmon around, hopefully its a sign of another great year in the Mexico area. -
Launched out of Mexico around 10:30 Saturday morning and headed west, setting up at the "A" frame. Didn't move a rod until we got a little West of the plant. Water temp prior to the plant was 42-44 degrees in the 15-20 fow range. Once we got west of the plant, water temp jumped to 53-55 degrees in 20-30 fow and the fishing turned on. Ended up 5 for 8, with one cookie cutter and 4 quality browns. 3 fish came off the riggers on spoons, 2 off the boards on sticks. Anything green uv or glow seemed to be our best baits. Turned out to be a pretty good shakedown run for us. Hope the fishing continues to be good throughout the Eastern basin this year.

Everything that has been posted is absolutely true, however, the weather can also change. One thing I've learned during my 15+ years is that Lake Ontario is a fickle lady. She can go fro dead calm to nasty in very little time, and vice versa. Also, it is difficult to predict the weather/waves accurately several day out. Don't give up hope, but a backup plan is never a bad idea either! Good luck if you get out.

Mexico Bay browns 4-1
cuz replied to John Kelley's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Thanks for the report! Great catch! Heading up this weekend. Saturday is looking like a camp work day due to wind forecast, but Sunday looks promising. Would you say you had more action off the boards or on the riggers? I know typically the boards out produce the riggers this time of year. Just wondering. Thanks in advance.
