I know the first owners of that boat very well and to bad the boat couldn't talk to ya cause it could really teach you about trolling the finger lakes ( its seen its fair share of trout slapped on its deck already). ... All the guys that have commented already know alot about trolling to so take that all in and give it a try. .. I would suggest starting out with a couple wire dipsys rods and running flasher and flys or spoons build some confidence and go from there... The original owners of your boat liked it so much bought another Arima just a bit bigger.... And if it helps make a decision on the name their new boat is also Called Skippin School III.... Here's a pic of there newer one.... Mike Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished out of Watkins with Joe , B Fuller and his son hoping to get into some of the same fishing we had last weekend.. We ran cores coppers dipsys and riggers.. We set up in the south end and fished north fishing for quite a bit before getting into a few fish. ... Fishing was definitely slow today, think this front shut them down.... We did a few Landlocks and Bows and let Bobbys son handle them all.... We tried to locate some active fish but lake got rough and decided to call it a day... Went 8 for 9 all salmon and bows .. All fish came on riggers cores and coppers all Bobbys special spoons he painted up for me to run... Thanks again Bob for the spoons and all the hard work and commitment you put into all your lures.... Mike Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well we were leaving the slip out of Watkins when a thunderstorm was aproaching as we could hear in the distance... Checked out the radar on my phone and instantly turned around and went back to the dock and batten down the hatches....It was one of the best lightning shows I believe I have ever seen and the rain came down in buckets for a good hour.... The guys from Hills Valleys and Streams in Elmira ny were troopers tho waiting it out with me til 830 ish and we headed out.... There was quite a bit of debris in the South end already so went a bit north looking for some cleaner water... Set up shop running cores coppers dipsys and riggers.... Well after that huge storm front was thinking it would have messed the fishing up a bit but I was wrong.... We started off instantly with a nice Salmon on the 231 dipsy, boys where fired up after that beauty and we get set back up and not 5 minutes later 12 color core going back quick give that one to Chris and turn to get the net and 300 copper goes peeling drag and Danny grabs that one just in time for port dipsy to fire and its getting crazy quick nets Chris's fish and hear the 400 copper take of (QUAD) .... We end up only getting two of the fish out of the four nice laker and beautiful bow.... The fishing continued good til about 11 and then it shut down... We went 13 for 16 and the guys kept some fish for the grill.... Mike Hector falls after the crazy storm this morning....

Thanks guys !!! Sitting at the dock waiting for this amazing thunder and lightning show to pass ... Just struck the the tree in front of the dock as we were dozing.... We are all wide awake now... lol Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ran out of south end this morning with my Dad , my son and my girlfriend.... We ran cores coppers dipsys and riggers... We started hitting fish instantly on the coppers cores and riggers , small salmon and decent little browns got that reset and 400 copper and 7 color start rippin at the same time (Doubled up!!) and we get a nice laker and salmon to the boat.... Troll a little farther north and we have a big smash on the port rigger and before I get to it its already wrapped up in the dipsy but after some quick help from my son we get her unwrapped and to the boat... Trolled north and started getting into weeds that weren't there yesterday so went out deep and got our laker program going ... We ended up the morning with a couple real nice lakers and a Grand Slam !!! We went 10 for 13 with some real beautiful fish... Packed up at 930 and we were at breakfast by 10.... .. Mike

Thanks guys....Ya it was an eventful morning and also got out again with Joe this afternoon we got into some great silvers again and a few lakers pulling off another Grand Slam, think we went 12 for 13 but lost my X4 probe due to a kink I didn't see in my rigger cable, oh well its only money right... lol.... Couple nice little football browns here in the pics.. Pic of the first one slipping out of Joes hands and one of me fighting a bow... Mike
