  6. Wow what a hot one! Out one a father and son trip. My dad built a mast, side planers and two pole holder trees so it was kinda a gear testing day. Started out at 6am screen was lit up at 100fow thought my graph was broken but I think the salmon were feeding during the night into the morning so we dropped lines in at 100. Side planers worked well took some time to get use to sending out the lead core and copper but I got the hang of it now. Worked 2 ten colors on the out side with one ff and other with just a spoon also two riggers with spoons and a 400 copper with a spoon later the rigger had a spin doc. All fish today caught on the copper on carbon 14, 2 lakers a brown and a salmon that I lost . I hope I was using the ten color right not one hit on them and the riggers never fired. 25 boats scattered all over between the genny and I bay worked 100 to 200 fow. All in all a great day! (Besides getting stung by a bee 3x out on the lake so weird). Everything worked right my dad is a genius when it comes to building stuff! I will post pics of our set up soon. I really hope I am running things right not sure if people run ff on core or copper so didn't know what to use so I mixed it up. I think I lost the salmon because we couldn't slow down past 2.5gps speed need to adjust throttle. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  9. Tough bite recently but I think most fish are in 100 to 200 fow now getting them to bite is the hard part. Plenty of bait and plenty of active fish last week but with thisweeks weather pattern I think it will be hot for Fri through the weekend. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. Man this makes me feel so much better thought I was just unlucky. So what's the next best thing to lowrance. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. I have been dealing with lowrance customer service for the last 10 days. I have to say they are absolutely terrible. Long story short they charged my account double for an advanced replacement without my authorization of a total of 900$. Later that week I was charged an additional 884$. After calling every day for almost two weeks I finally have my money back. To make things right management wanted to offer me an insight map chip for east coast fishing they send me the west coast one! I have to say be careful with these people I am really thinking about never buying another navico or lowrance product again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. How do you catch the muskie and walleye ? Do you troll for both ? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  15. Need to find a way to staff them on my small boat Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. So I was in need of good planer board. They are expensive and I was not sure if I was able to make my own. My dad is great at making stuff and found some semantics of a 3 board planer. He ended up giving it a shot. After reading some bad reviews on the riveara and walker boards at 100$ a piece why not build your own for half the price. They came out great let's see how they run!

  17. Great thanks a lot! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. Trolled out of I bay headed east. First 3 hours nothing, ran 2 spoons on riggers and 1 dipsy with flasher spoon. Fish scattered because of wind change water Temps may have been mixed too. Move rigger down from 90 to 110 over 120fow and the first king hit 18 lbs 34inches on Neils limit, strange how it hit as soon as the rigger moved. Second one came on the flasher spoon dipsy at 70 feet over 120fow 15lbs 33 inches. Only two kings caught but my first ones of the year! Need more west winds!

  19. I have a boafang uv 5rv2+ a small hand held ham radio. I am wondering how to program a boating frequency to it. I believe it's channel 16 but this radio needs to be programmed with 000.000 not just 16. I know I probably should just get a marine one but I want a portable ham for home hiking and boating.

  23. Hit the water around 230pm beautiful day! Just me and my girl. This was her first time doing this type of fishing so I didn't know what to expect. Started out in 90 fow riggers down 70 and 60, dipsy around 50. Rigger at 70 with moonshine hulk was the first hit small laker put it back down to 70 within 30 seconds line was crushed by something big handed it to my girl and don't ya know it was a nice brown! Stayed around 100 to 125 zig zag pattern hit 3 small kings all loving the hulk . Monkey puke (favorite named lure) took 3 lakers. Did check out 200fow not much going on but did hit a small king on flasher fly. Overall great day to be out fishing 8 for 11. Need to zero in on a big king.
