  1. I'm looking for your input and recommendations for what pole(s) you've had gook luck with for running dipsy's with steel line. I'm going to set up two poles with Okuma 45D line counter reels with 1000 feet of steeel line. I've looked at the Okuma's, Diawa's, and Shimano poles. As you can guess the reviews are favorable from each of the manufacturers. So now I'm turning to you as users to give me your recommendations. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

  2. Hi, I'm a little late to the discussion, and it's great to see all of the winning combinations from everyone. Can you share the leader lengths between the flasher/SD/PT and the Fly?? Any helpful information for spring browns (May 2014) out of Little Sodus Bay. Thanks and Boat Safe Egoody
  3. Thank you all for replying. I know what you mean about the daiwa 47h's. I have 7 of them myself, but I wanted to try something with line counters. It's good to hear the favorable reports on the okumas. Egoody
  4. I read reviews and opinions for Many items. I bought two Okuma cv-45d level wind reels last fall. I've only used them a few times and would like others experiences before I buy more. How do the drag's hold up, does the level wind guide wear ok if I use spectra braid, how about using wire with them? I know it's still a while before I can get back on the water this spring, but the plans are already set for Litle Sodus Bay this coming May. Thanks for any info. Boat Safe Egoody Fitzwilliam, NH

  7. I've stayed at catfish creek 3 times in the last 1 1/2 seasons. Accommodations are very good. Rates are reasonable and include dock . Check out their web site and give Wally and Cheryl a call. Boat safe Egoody Sent from my XT881 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. What makes the dipsey work as opposed to riggers when the riggers go slow? Do they have some kind of action that will attract fish? Sent from my XT881 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. I'm new to the flea problem. I'm reading where some folks are spooling with heavier mono. Are they less of a problem on the heavier weight mono? How do you clean them off the line? Are they a problem on steel down rigger line? Thanks fo any info you can give. Boat Safe Egoody
  10. I recently placed an order with the walleye tackle store, but some how my address given them was wrong. I emailed them and they called me right back letting me know they would get the correct address on my shipment My thanks to walleye tackle and Rick K for taking care of the problem. If you need tackle or gear, contact them. They are great to work with. http://www.walleyetacklestore.com/ My thanks again Egoody Fitzwilliam, N.H
  11. Guidewayneo-thank you for your information. Seems there are so many choices, this will be a good starting lure choice. Boat safe Egoody Will monitor 68 & 69 to catch the chatter.
  12. Thanks for the information, i'll try these once I figure out what the old chicken wing is. We'll be fishing out of catfish creek starting aug 14th for 4 days. So till then. Boat safe Egoody
  13. Great fish Picts.... Can you share your lure choice for these beauties? We'll coming out to lake O in mid August to try our luck. Boat Safe Egoody
  14. Thanks everyone....can't wait to get on the water Boat safe Egoody
  15. Great fish you caught!! We're visiting from NH on May 1st for five days. Planning to fish Mexico bay and westward towards Oswego. I hope we do as well as you did. Safe boating Egoody
  16. I've had the 10xts's installed on my 1800 sport angler. I really like the auto stop feature. I did have a problem with the cable jumping off the front roller. I called cannon and their tech rep was excellent. He sent me two new roller assemblies without question. Like others are saying, it's all about your personal preference. Now the question manual vs electric. My vote is electric if it fits your budget. Good luck and boat safe Egoody
  17. I bought 2 Chamberlain stacker releases last year and liked them so much I picked up 2 more to replace all of the Roemers I had been using. Very easy to set up. I really like the ability to Adjust the pole to release tension as well as the tension to release the fishnstrike, they also pop free from the rigger cable when I'm bringing up the ball on the electric riggers. You won't regret buying the Chamberlains. Fish USA had the best price I could find on line. Safe Boating Egoody
  18. I really look forward to all of this great information from you all. I'm travelling to lake Ontario from NH on May 1st for a week. We're fishing Mexico bay area towards Oswego. I would love to get into some kings along with the spring browns. I bought a new Lund 1800 sport angler last year and I just love it. It,s outfitted with a pair of STX 10 downriggers which makes going deep pretty easy. I read the browns are pretty shallow so I plan to run flat lines. What are your suggestions for depth and any spoons, stix or flies. Years ago I ran some tandem flies on steel. What about speed, I can only get down to about 2.1 to 2.4. Now for kings. Where do I start? I picked up a few 8" pro trolls and dream weavers with a few flies, I also have spoons from NK mags down to 1" Long speedy shiners. Thanks for any ad all advice you can provide.
