    Just wanted to share an experience from this weekend. We donated to the tackle Gods and Lady O this past Saturday in the form of a probe. Though humbled and pissed, we went to Narbys in Oak Orchard and bought a new one. Ran it the next morning and it had a problem in that it would record temp but not speed. Lots of troubleshooting etc but long story short, went back to Narbys and Sharon took it and made some calls and hooked me up with Trevor from FH. Gotta say he was great. Sending me new probe no questions asked. It is rare that you find such an incredible product and an equally incredible customer service team. My hat is off to both Trevor / Fish Hawk and Sharon from Narbys. Great people in the fishing community!!!!

    Wire all the way. I use torpedo 19 strand. Great stuff. Just be sure to read previous posts about dipsy storage, because any little kink in the line will produce a weak spot and it will break. Just always keep tension during storage on it and you will be fine. Avoid hook sets, sure spool it under heavy tension as well. Tons of old posts about this on here that helped me out.

    Well the good news is that we had some vicious Dipsy hits this weekend. The bad news of course is that the rod holder wasn't up to the challenge. I was looking at the Big Jon Ratcheting holder . Anyone run them or have other thoughts for a dipsy rod holder? Thanks!

    Out this am with bunch of kids. 2 for 6 with lots of oooops moments . Lol 8 and 13 # kings. 250-275 fow was our best area. Two large kings came unbuttoned on dipsey FF. Carbon 14, meat and dipsey / FF did all the work. Dipseys out 290 and 300 Then the chumming began and we headed for port. 42 degrees down 120 over 250.

    Dan, Love the videos! Awesome. I saw on one of the first videos that you released a fish by trailing it behind the boat on some sort of a rope. That looked really slick. Could you share how you do that ? We have been struggling with release techniques. We pretty much release everything but want to make sure the fish survives to fight another day. Thanks for any guidance on your techniques. Adam

    Garrymny- Definitely is a learning curve. Keep in mind that you must be doing something right if you have caught fish. Your biggest problem may be current. You could be in the sweet spot heading NW, then turn around and head SE and you may be 2 mph different at your lure. Just do your best to replicate what you are doing when your rod fires. Keep a log. One other piece of advice...save your change and buy down speed unit - Complete Game changer. And yes, this is a very expensive hobby LOL Good luck

    Sounds like you are doing alright for yourself!! Way to go Running meat in our spread in the ice water has been our biggest producer this yr and last of mature kings Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks for the report. Did you use meat at all?
  17. Pa223
    coming up this weekend again. Three weeks ago, meat was hot. Anyone still doing any good with it?
  18. Pa223

    Trolling Fly usually trolled behind a spin doctor or flasher usually 20 -30 inches back. NBK is a popular spoon (natural born killer) PM Sent

    I have also had luck in that situation by pegging the throttle for a couple of seconds. A quick boost to 4 mph or so seems to get more hits . I assume it is same as above in the fact that the bait is thought to be escaping

    Great teport. Thank you and congrats again on huge solo run Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I was out in front of the devils nose in 200 to 300 fow this weekend. steady pick of fish with the weather it probably will still be good.

    I gotta give you credit. I read about all these solo trips and am amazed. I'm a relative newbie (this is my 2nd yr) and was out this weekend with 4 guys. Big kings are a huge challenge to me even when I have three other sets of hands and you solo guys get it done alone. Amazed Great job!!!!! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
