    Thanks, I’ll check that one out

    My browns were stuffed with gobies last week

    Wow, that’s awesome. I couldn’t motivate myself to go out this morning with the N wind forecast but sounds like it was calm early on. Congrats on a good king bite

    Drop shotting minnows?

    Thanks for the report

    I hear that and has been my experience as well. An hour drive isn’t as bad as many others have to do but it still stinks losing a day with a wasted drive out.

    South shore guys, what wind report do you find to be the most accurate? The shoreline seems to have its own microclimate and never ends up being what my report says the night before or even as I am driving out in the morning. In my experience, anything more than 8 knots from the north is a no-go for me. I’ve been using windfinder.com but it failed me last weekend.

    Nice ones! Cant wait for them to be in the bays.

    Kid definitely didn’t need any coaching on that one. Well played.

    Just watched the video. That kid did a great job fighting that king. It’s hard to hold back the excitement when a king hits and have the patience to take your time tiring it out on light line. ….ask me how I know🙄

    Spoonfed- that’s the exact program I started with until my rigger leader snapped on a hit. Seeing that it got hit 4’ down I put my 1 color out with a spoon instead on an 3rd board and got 2 more off that one.

    Thanks for the input guys. I ran all 3 off of my inshore side yesterday instead of spreading them out and took fish on all of them. Definitely helps the confidence when I change up a routine and it works.

    The plain nightcrawler is easy to overlook with all of the other options available but I have had days when jigs and blades wouldn’t get hit but a worm and split shot drifted on the bottom took fish.

    This was my modified Icicle that I had colored last night. It worked and I am calling it the Hurly Bird…My other 3 producers are on the deck pic.

    Took the morning off to try again and was met with swells big enough to make me hurl. Dirty water didn’t produce for me even when the water temp went up 2 degrees besides 1 hit and run. Was getting discouraged but sucked it up and changed up colors and hit some fish in clear water mid-morning around 10:30. Started off working in 5-10’ with a Smithwick, rapala and a modified Icicle. Icicle on my rigger down 4’ hit first and snapped my leader on the strike. Too choppy to retie so I tossed out my 1 color core with a Sodus Buckeye. No more hits for 2 hours. Moved out to clear water but still under 10’ and hit a pod of fish. Every rod went off within 5 minutes and had to net 2 at once. Third one hit as I was untangling hooks. Decided to put two lines back out as I was packing up to leave and the leadcore went off again, this time was a noticeable heavier fish. The drag on that Okuma goes from weak to locked without much in between. Had to tighten it to gain on it and of course it turns and snapped me off at the leader. 10# leader lost me 2 spoons today but great to land some quality fish.

    Awesome day, congrats. Heading out solo on Thursday, what was your surface temp out there?

    I definitely don’t recommend trolling with a 2 stroke as I did for a couple years and constantly had to replace the spark plugs. With your smaller 4 stroke you will be absolutely fine but may want to throw a small bag over each side if you aren’t slowing down enough since 1 bag will pull the boat to that side pretty hard. I have an electric trolling motor with auto pilot to stay on course that I run at low power (3 out of 10) to conserve battery charge and usually can get about 5 hours out of it and I have a pretty large gel battery just for that motor.
  19. greenhornet73
    Yes my trolling motor has auto pilot so the planer boards won’t be a factor

    I’ll be fishing solo this spring while my buddy rehabs his shoulder so I’m limited to a 3 rod setup. I rarely do well with this when fishing alone and am wondering if my lines are spread too far from each other with a planer on each side and one slider off one side a few feet. I’m wondering if it’s better to run 3 off one side to mimic a school or tighten my spread a little. Any recommendations?

    I was about to get into airbrushing even though I didn’t want to put in the time. Definitely holding off on that project for now.

    If it’s too rough on the main lake I’m sure Irondeqoit Bay will have some perch action if you are West and Henderson Harbor if you are East.

    I don’t know what size fish you typically get but I absolutely love my Starfire ML rods on my downriggers for walleye, small lake trout and rainbows. Most fish I get are in the 2-6 lb range but have also used them for 20# king salmon on Lake Ontario. They aren’t fancy new rods but I haven’t found any that are strong And have enough action to enjoy catching small fish along with larger ones.

    I caught one of my biggest walleyes ever throwing a Little Cleo off the fair haven pier for brown’s and thank God it happened to be on May 1st. 30” and 11lbs. What a rush with a 11’ noodle rod and 6# test. Only walleye I ever caught while brown fishing but one of my best fishing memories.
