Thanks! just ordered an orange one!

Ok thanks

When you say 3:1 do you mean that every 1 foot of wire out it sinks 3 feet? I know there are variables..do you mean 3' when using a flasher and fly to?

anyone have a more recent report?

I like that fish gripper, where did you get that?

Are there any particular unique requirements of a vessel on Lake Ontario as far as regulations go? I.e. safety requirements if I should be boarded?

I have installed a twili tip on my dedicated wire rod

so what is the hassle with running wire? I am new to wire and am just gettting ready to rig up a 1000' wire rig. I know that you have to wind it on under tension. I have 7 strand wire.

Question, is it common to run a spin doc behind a dipsey? also, how common to run a spoon behind a dodger or a spin doc?

no copper for me unfortunately, but from what I am guessing side planers, even inline are out for sure. I will run 2 lines off of riggers and 2 dipsey setups and maybe a lead down the shoot.

Oh man well being my first time I am not gonna be right in the middle of the pack I can tell you that for sure. Will hug the outsides and try for some tragglers until I get more comfortable.

well that is good to hear I guess! Will have to look into this 60' depth reasoning. I know that they will "start" to be stacking up outside of the ports/rivers etc about that time here or there.

Yeah, I hope that when I get there mid August the thermocline will be more stable..

Ok..Well, I am pretty much going in blind. never been there. I hope to hear some reports before I get there though! I also have no temp equipment

Which direction did you go out of the shoot?

what was your leader length

Bears? that is exactly where I am going, Trumansburg

Anyone know of any good ones in this area?

exactly what I was thinking.

I have been a member of this site for awhile now. I have been lurking, reading, posting, asking questions ,reading reading and reading. What a great site and I am very appreciative of everyones willingness to share their knowledge. I cant wait to get out there mid August. Trip planned, making final preperations on the Islander and gear. Will I be totally ready..no way...Will I be confident enough to give it a go..hell yeah!
