I use that tecnique for lakers on simcoe.
You hang the jig 10fo of the buttom and put the rod in rod holder , boat motion more then enough to make fish interested , as soon as you see fish comes to investigate you start to reel in the line , i dont know why but lakers love to chase it , so you keep the speed fast but letting the fish to close in on it and boom !
Some days they will chase it all the way from 110ft to 20ft.

But you got to have a flasher or realtine scope on a side (like my elite 7 )
Thats there you keeping the eyes on
-----
Thats the pic frim last year.
There is fish on the buttom , and my jig on top (and more fish higher )
And on the right is the real time sonar (amplitude scope)
----
Catch ratio is im getting 4 lakers , while guys trolling getting one or two.
Will be keep trying
I guess if i launch the boat in Markham the same fishing techniques apply ? Its closer to my home - so i can spend more time on water ðŸ‘
Went out on sunday from st. Cathrines. Not much luck for me.
End up with one laketrout on 170fow.
Caught on jigging )
So probably its gonnatake a while for me to start catching on lake ontario

Also my boat having a speed of
3.7 - 4km/h on idle. Is that ok ? Or too fast?
Hi guys , on sunday went fishing on lake ontario (first time ever ) launched in st. Catharines and had not much luck , many boats was trolling in 45fow so i tryed to , worked from 20 to 120fow , no luck - tryed downrigger , planners , flat line - is there something im doing wrong ?
What concerns me is i never marked a fish on my sonar in those depths.
So i started to explore all the way till 170 fow , there i got some marks near the buttom - so i took out my jigging rod and few minutes later end up with a lake trout.
But my plans was to target a steelhead )
Any advice?
Thanks
Didnt had any luck with humminbird.
Got a Lowrance elite 7 HDI.

And ill tell you its the best $$ i ever spend. This thing is AMAZING !
Not sure about HDS series , as far as i know they gread only if you running a sidescan package.
But the price is killer
My father is not into fishing at all , insted im taking him and mom fishing , and he always working the camera and taking pictures 😂😂
----
But my grandpa loved fishing and thanks to him i DO , sadly he passed away in 2003 and we moved to canada , and i took my first spining rod witch he gave me with me to canada as memory of him.
Will post a pic when i have a chance
I would stick to gasoline on outboard.
Savings will be minimum, plus the cold strart is tricky on propane. Never the less its not realy optimal for the engine - regular gas give you lubrication when engine running , propane does not - on the long run you will get a ring issues (like a taxi cabs)
Plus if you runout of propane (perhaps you had a leak ) - you'll had a hard time finding a person on the water who have a bbq tank ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

And you might have a chance to launch your engine cover to the earth orbit in case of some fealure 😂😂😂
Hey guys , i have a silly question
