Rough Water Tactics- What works?
garrymny posted a topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Hello all. My Buddy is coming from Idaho to fish the 21st through 29th. Looks like we may have to fish some rough water. I Never had much luck with anything over 2 footers, although I try. Don't know why. It seems really hard to fish divers when its rough, I do know that. Any tips you can provide will be appreciated. I think it kills the bite, or he presentation of my lures. Thanks. -
I tinted my windshields with the film I bought at Walmart. I took the plastic sides off and installed the bug net ones. Boat came with both. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Downrigger counters
garrymny replied to FishingSkrip27's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Makes sense. So if I stop the boat, the sonar will show pretty accurate how deep the ball is, so I can then see if my counter matches, got LINE OUT. I understand that once I start moving the display will no longer be accurate. Ok, so now the question: if a hook shows on my screen is that accurate? I assume I will need to see where the tip of the return is? Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

you did great! Thanks for report. My buddy comes from Idaho Friday night for a week of salmon fishing. Hope it holds up....weather and bite -
Interesting Gambler! Do you think you are more apt to catch the smaller Kings on a spoon, than you will on a flasher/fly, or meat rig? I assume this is what you are saying. And I assume the reason it will result in killing the small ones is because of the long fight, or dragging them without knowing. Is this correct? Thanks.

I have been using Mack's inline spinning attractors, with spoon about 3 feet behind and I like them, no drag. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Also, I can see my weight on my fish finder, so I know how deep it is. I have to set my fish finder frequency to medium chirp to see it. So you can use your fish finder too. If you see the ball is at 80 feet on the FF, but the counter says 60, just disenhe gear, turn until counter reads 80, and reengage. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

I would spool out wire until it is 3 feet below the bottom of the boat, and read the counter. Do the same with 100 feet out. Then disengage the counter gear, turn it until it reads correctly then re engage. I just ordered new gears for my counters ony 10 As. $2.99 each from Cannon.

Well I don't use them since I just lost my second and last one last week! Wire line snapped. UGH!

your "less" is my about my max! 6 rods. I will keep all of the above in mind for the staging kings, and also going out farther for youngers .

July 4 and 5, my FF got so hot you couldn't touch it. Expensive unit, and apparently Lowrance has no repair capabilities, so this alarmed me. So I built a shade for it and put reflective material on the boat window. See picture. This worked great. Unit is running much cooler. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
