even on wire line? My dipsey directions say using 20lb mono it will reach 80 feet.. I would think using wire would be deeper?

So here is a question, I know it has been discussed before. Can you honestly release the kings this time of the year, say kinds in the 20lb class? I was chatting with a guy who seems to know his stuff. He told me that after the king fights so hard and coming up into the warmer water etc they are pretty much gonna die. He stated that even if you do let it go and see it swim away, the stress of the fight builds up acids? in its body and it will soon die? Just curious to hear from someone that may know more. On Sunday while trolling in the Mexico Bay area out about 7 miles or so I saw a beautiful king, in the 20lb range floating belly up..

I was told that 250' of wire out on a 1 setting would get me to 100 feet. does this sound correct? Also, do the divers come wit hthe power ring already? I used them the way they came right out of the box minus the settings

CaptSpike you have a pic of that Coho?

thanks mudflat!

yeah, you boys nailed it right there. AS I was trailering across the bridge into Northville (Great Sacandaga Lake) I was thinking to myself man I miss Lake O! I had a great trip. Learned allot, already trying to finagle a way to get back there in the next few weeks! My plan of coming a few times a year is gonna change I can tell you that. I am already looking into a safe place to leave the islander on the trailer for the second half of August thru second week of September next year! Already know I am getting a Fish Hawk x4 in the spring, a second wire dipsey setup and a couple doxen more flys and SD/dodgers..I fished with 3 flys and one king unfortunately still has one swimming around in its mouth

good luck spike! go get em

Just got back from my first Lake O of many trips to be made I hope. Hauled the 3.5 hours with the RV and boat at 7MPG. Next trip will most likely be finding someplace to bunk down for the night in the Mex-Oswego areas. Dont need anything fancy, but something clean and ability to park boat in a lot for 2 overnights. any recommedations would be appreciated

I must have been fishing too deep with the rest of the pack.

tat sounds just like my day today. Went out to the pack in the 300ft of water. Long story short, took a 24lb king on my 250 wire mag dipsey froggy SD and blue crinkle atomic fly. my first ever king and it didn't disappoint! Sat we hit Oswego.. Lost a fish I had on my rigger down 250..O dodger green tape creen crinkle fly..broke my leader at the second run. Fished Mexico Friday, Oswego Sat and back to Mexico today..one decent king in the boat. loved every minute of it. was my first time out and learned a ton. Forgot to mention that upon launching out of Mexico I got t omeet Willy C! Funny stuff right there, just backing the islander in the H2O and a guy comes up to me and says "are you Adk1" haha..sure am..hey there, I am Willy C!

I will be there tomorrow around 10 am..will be on channel 68..adk1 is my callname

I had tite locks. I remplaced them with Berts Adjustable rod holders. I love them.. Well, havent used them yet but will this weekend!

so is that a fish to throw back no matter what or can you consume it? I would most likely throw it back
