I agree with you here on this! I do the same thing. I take the time to re-rig my tackle while the rigger is still coming up. I have the older mag 10's and they work just fine for me especially if you do the maintenance and keep them well greased so they work smooth! I have one with auto-stop and an older one without the circuit board. The one without the auto-stop I have plenty of time to keep an eye on it as it nears the top and I just shot it off before it reaches the boom. My other riggers are all manual cannons.

I agree with everyone else. Regular line to the dipsy then I use flourocarbon to the lure from the dipsy. Never had any issues and catch more fish with the flouro Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have been out fishing with some friends and his boats have done the same to us and had cut us off different times making us change course and get into snags! They are not that well liked among the guys I know. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wasn't a bad day of fishing today! We launched fairly early outvStony creek public launch. The water is still high but still doable with high boots. Took us a while figuring things out but once we got things figured out we landed our first walleye of the day around 8am. Then finally the second not until after noon. After landing that one we managed to get all the lines tangled up and took half hour getting everything untangled and didn't loose any lures. After getting all the lines back out we landed a3rd walleye but smaller. But this time it was later inthe afternoon and the bite seemed to have stopped do of to the finger we went to try for Lakers. We ended the day with 3 Lakers and put 2 of them back because they were small and let them grow bigger. All in all a good day!! . Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

His luck out there this week Baitbucket! Guffins bay is right out in front of my house. There are some good fishing out in the bay and some nice muskies also if you know where and when to fish them. I like to walk out during the winter and ice fish when the ice is safe but it hasn't been good for that in couple of years in Guffins. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Awesome thanks ! I checked out Chaumont bay lainch last night and it's pretty high also but may be doable with high boots Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Recommendations for a launch near Henderson or Chaumont My buddy and I are planning a trip finally this coming Saturday and need a good place to launch his 25ft sport-craft. He just had a new mercury e Tech 9.9 kicker motor installed and bought a new Fiskhawk x4D with bluetooth that I will be putting on his boat for him by this weekend. How are the water levels at Henderson State launch. I hear that hip boots may be needed to launch from there. Has anyone with a larger boat like the sportcraft launched from there recently? I will check out the Chaumont state launch on my way home. Any recommendations to launch a big boat this size safely? We want to try and target the browns if they are still biting and walleye and possibly some Atlantic if they are a possibility. Heck anything that will bite. Thanks Bob

Yes and the levels are suppose to keep rising over the next two weeks before they start to subside of course weather depending on the amount of rain we get also. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Todd is correct there are Johsons shoal out in the bay and you need to know where it is or you will hit! Jigging for walleye off the deep end of it can be productive though where it drops off to over 25ft quickly. I personally have had better luck out farther past Pillar Point between Reeds bay and Everleigh point trolling with spoons for the eyes. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sent you a pm Pap with his number Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pap, If you need canvas work done up here this summer Paul Norton in Chaumont does great work and pretty reasonable also! I think he even comes to where ever your boat is to do the work. I have his number if you need it. I am going to have him do some work on my boat canvas real soon also. Bob Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks everyone so far that has given their advice! Looks like the poll is towards the fish hawk! Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Any preferences in which system or systems are the best or cheapest deal but still get a good system? The fish hawk X4 runs around $650+ depending on were you but it. The Depth raider Drx-10 system is only $450 on ebay. Then there are the older subtroll systems. My buddy Joe that's not on this forum wants to add one to his boat but not sure what to get. If he can get a decent used system for around $250_300 he is game or may be willing to pay the $450 for a new depth raider system if it's worth the money. Any input on this from the guys that use these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bob Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
