Rippin'Line

Decided to hit the water by myself. Drove around a few minutes trying to find some bait n marks and saw a some good sized marks 70 down over 8o so i deployed my big balls and sent em deep at about 6:30. The right was at 65 with a cheater and the left was at 45 down. After setting all my lines I look over to my right rigger and the rod tip is dancing but no release. So i released it and pulled in about a 2 pound lake trout. Perfect eater size so he went into the cooler. For the next half hour had two releases on the deep rigger but with nobody home. The dipsy took off on something big 120 ft back on a 2.5 setting and about 50 ft down. Unfortunately after 20 seconds of strong pullling the line went limp and she was gone. Bit ojn a SD hammertime and blue crush DW fly. From then on it was dead. The two releases and landed fish were on a mixed veggies stinger scorpion and a custom green/glow ladder back sutton 44. The browns are still avoiding me. Next time I hit it its going to be strictly a brown program running the top half of the water column. I Will find them!

GET EM! Ill be launching out of Port Bay tmrw evening and Sunday morning. Seems to be I've always had more luck rocketing out towards sodus and starting in 100 then straight out of Port Bay. I've always figure because Maxwell is right there. Anyone else have similar experiences?

I may have some like that, I was given 100's of spoons from my grandpa who no longer fishes b/c of health issues. Alot of the old style nk's and devil eys. i remember seeing some spoons liek that. Is that the canadice killer? haha

Im settignup my first leadcore and was curious on wether it was best to use braid as backing or heavy mono. I read on there that the clip on inline planars can rub off fragments on the braid little by little and that it doesnt affect mono. I know braid can virtually last years but i know that mono weakens with time. So in your opinion whats the best for use as backing. Ill be using 10 color if that makes a difference.

Great Song, nice to see some fisherman like myself love some more intense music! Nice fish by the way

I didnt know there were pures in there. Thought it was all tigers. Even better.

Thinking about taking my first musky trip ever with a friend of mine. Probably going to start out trolling with boards and large thundersticks and maybe a flutter spoon mixed in. Going to hit waneta lake and give it a shot. I've read the lake maxes at 30 ft so i was thinking about hitting about 20 ft and pulling baits from 5 down to 20 down until I hopefully start getting some strikes. Anybody got any tips? It would be greatfully appreciated.

Smallmouths in there are huge and feisty. Hooked one last week we thought was a big nrown that turned out to be a 6 lb smallie. [ Post made via Android ]

Didn't get to measure but it weighed out at 10lb 8oz on hand scale. Trolling a deep diving thunderstick in a gold n black pattern over 20 to 30 ft and 15 ft down. Port bay. 10 am ish. That color pattern took every fish besides a sheeps head on a firetiger. [ Post made via Android ]

i think when it comes to charters you have to satisfy the customer too keep them coming back. In reality whats worth for, supporting yourself and your family or keeping some large walleye.

Heres 1 of 4 fish we boated one morning after coming in from chasing kings. Biggest Pike I've ever caught.

wow that dude is good!

funny thing is before we got to canadice we were talkign about how next trip we should go for eyes. Guess we should have done that right then and there.

Probabaly the hemlock monster. Yesterday was slow for me as well. Had some releases but with nobody home. Funny how these lakes were hot when Lake Ontario was and once the big pond slowed down so did canadice and hemlock.

Skunked, tried everything and could not buy a bite. Spoons all over the water column and 1 flatline with a stick was bout to switch some over to flasher fly combos but then we heard thunder. Weather was bipolar with some rain, then sun, then wind, then cloudy, then wind, then sun, etc. surface temp was 68 and wind up and down ranging from 5 to 20 mph from every direction it seemed like. Some chop to whitecaps depending on whether the wind decided to blow or not. Always nice to get out tho

Thermocline is setting up now. Fish are scatters all over the place. Zachblaine is correct. Best bet is to maximize the amount of baits you have in the water and try all depths. Your going to have to work to get on them. [ Post made via Android ]

Thinking about messing around tonight for some toothy fish at a fast water discharge on the ere canal after dark since I work til 10. Any advice? [ Post made via Android ]

Mnay people are at the Canandaiguia lake trout derby this weekend is probably why there were little boats. Or the storms from last night

I thought old school was when you swam down and caught one with your teeth?

Decided to brave the weather and see what we could find. Marked alot of surface fish that ended up being smallmouth suspended 10 down over 60 to 90 ft of water. Kept slamming em on the flatline with a 4inch rap. Ended up with no trout however. Moved off the bottom to try and find something besides lakers. We did just that. Just they happened to be bass and not browns, bows, or LL's. Fun morning however. Biggest smallie was 4 pounds. [ Post made via Android ]

Ended up going the day after and hooked a screamer on the dispy. got the thing to the boat and snapped my floro leader from my spinny to my fly. Then we landed a steelie 120 back on #3 setting and a small king on a NK NBK. Decent morning of course after the storm went through. We then decided to troll through the bay with deep diving thundersticks and managed 2 drums and two pike with the one pike weighing in at 14lb 2 oz. good day of fishing up til 3 when ac became my best friend.

Went 2 for 6 today. Not great odds but a fish is a fish. 2 hits were on a stinger scorpion dirty white boy and another on stinger scorpion mixed veggies. Also ran dispsies with NK C5 which took nothing and a dippy with a mt dew spin doc and green monkey puke DW fly which took 2 hits. Layers landed were a 2 pounder and 5 pounder. Good day just to get out. [ Post made via Android ]
