  1. Thanks, I figured it would. I was just hoping it would be plug and play, but I guess things change over 20 years. Ha, ha. Sent from my SM-T580 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. My old Mag 10 just wore out. I'm looking to replace it with a new Mag 10. Does anyone know if the electrical connector and slide on base mount are the same on the new ones? Thanks. Sent from my SM-T580 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Thanks for the reality check Earl. I was out in that neck of the woods last Sunday AM and had the same experience. Minus the 2 fish caught. A week ago was trolling shallow near Shipbuilders and the water was so clear I could see every detail of the bottom. Very cool, but no fish. Let's keep posting so when it starts to turn on we all know.
  4. I was in that spot yesterday morning and only marked 4 fish in 3 hours. Not a single hit though. Water temp around 49-50. Trolled from 90 to 140. Marks were in the 130 area. Sent from my SM-T580 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Nice report and nice hitchhiker.

  7. I have two spare boat anchors for sale: a 16 lb river anchor and a 9 lb Danforth/fluke anchor. $10 for each anchor. The Danforth/fluke anchor is 22" high by 18" wide. You pick up, I'm located in Webster.
  8. I have 3 spare downrigger cannonballs for sale: 2 are 10 lb, 1 is a 8 lb. $5 each. You pick up, I'm located in Webster.
  9. Jeremy, thanks for all the posts and guidance you offer to those who ask on this bulletin board. You're a class act! Have a great off-season.
  10. Nicely done Dickey. That's what fishing is all about. Sent from my SM-T580 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Thanks Jeremy, good luck to you too if you get out tomorrow.
  12. Thanks for the report Jeremy and nice catch. The lake is starting to lay down over here so I'll see what the morning brings.
  13. Lucky, you get the award for most unique use of emoticons in a posting.
  14. Hey guys I was out there on Sun the 25th, about Midway between the bay and Hedges. Started in 150' and trolled to 400'. Hooked 4 and boated 1, even hits on spoons and SD/flies. All hits were in the 330 to 360' area with the riggers at 65-75 down. Three were Kings with 2 saying goodbye 10' behind the boat. Nice GoPro video of the fish splashing and a lure flying over my head. The 3rd no show is unknown as he was on the other line as I was bringing a king in. Always a fun event when fishing solo. Lake temps still seem screwy.
  15. Nice catch! Looks like dad had a good time.
  16. Thanks for all the tips guys. Will definitely try the smaller spoons and dipseys and watch my bottom depth. I like the idea of an evening run for browns because it's easier to reach the shallower water from dockside.
  17. Deep water was a rollin' a little too much on Mon AM so stayed in close to join a few others who I assumed were fishing for browns. Never really tried for these and I don't have planer boards in the boat, but we set the spoons far back 60-70' and trolled 8-11' down in the 30-40 fow area. Marked a lot and managed to boat a couple nice ones. Any other hints for fishing for browns without planers? My brother's first trip up for Lake O fishing and I got him on a few nice Kings the day before out in 400'.
  18. It's still posted in IBay, but being ignored by many.
  19. Yep, breaking the 400 fow line worked tonight. 70-75 over 400-430. Green frog spoons and green flies.
  20. Thanks for the report lead. I'll be heading out from IBay this PM and tomorrow AM. My brother is in town and new to Lake O fishing.
  21. Gambler took them off my hands, thanks Gambler! But I still have a question: if the USCG requires you to swap these out every 42 months why don't they offer a safe disposal program?
  22. I recently replaced my expired day/night emergency flares. I contacted the regional USCG office and my local FD and neither will accept the expired flares for disposal. I'd just torch them in my backyard some day but I doubt the neighbors will appreciate the plumes of orange smoke wafting through their yards (OK, maybe their kids will). Anybody found a place that will accept expired flares for disposal?
  23. Yep, I was in the Trophy. Glad you did well out there. So much closer than Braddock's for me.
  24. Dickey, were you east of I-Bay near Hedges this morning? I saw a few other boats out there and we all seemed to be staying around that area. it was hopping out there.
