Good question. I run SD/ FLY, flasher/spoons, PADDLE/meat. Got a fish hawk this spring and I notice no increase in my success. Hard to know if the right speed for one combination is killing the other ones. This is something that I've never seen discussed. I mean, if you run 2.7 that may be good for FF, but wrong for meat. I have no idea. I just try to stay between 2.4 and 2.7. but even the fish hawk probe setting can be "calibrated' changed, so I guess it is just a reference.

I got some from them last week and tied up some flies. I used 4 inch for primary color and the 2 inch for underlying colors. I think the 2 inch is too short and I wish I would have gotten all 4 inch and used 4 inch for both primary and secondary color. Also, should I make some with how ( for early morning or overcast?) And some with UV for later in day, bright days??? Thanks. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks I'm going to keep trying it at least on one ball. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Longer leads on rough days, thanks I will try that. I have a hard time catching on rough water.

I attached a Yakima spinner to my DR ball last time out. It was very rough so as usual I didn't catch anything that day but I will continue to try it. I have been reading about connecting a dummy flasher to the Dr ball as an added attracter. Has anyone on the LOU tried this? A wiggle swarm flasher can also be used, and they have videos.

interesting. Maybe the solar panel is the way to go. I did find my 9.9 has a charging system after all. But I don't think it is putting out. Voltage does not seem to change much with or without the motor running. .

Yeah I got a lot of work done in the yard and garden today! Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Can you smoke lake trout? It's the only​ way I can eat salmon. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It appears we are looking for an alternative to the high cost of herring. Bought six tiny fillets yesterday for $10. Now I am at Tulley's and just ordered a haddock dinner for $10. Som- ting- Wong! Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Like today June 24. 4 to 5 footers. The raymarine St 1000 Auto pilot worked great, thank God. Marked lots of bait and fish, but no luck. Ran my stuff though them, above them, below them. Fish hawk said my speed was good. Perplexed. I never catch much when it is rough, let's say 3 feet and higher. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I went towards the smokestack. 90 to 100 feet down the hawk said temp was still 52. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

4 to 5 footers. Buddy got sick almost immediately. Had to run him home all the way back to Clarence. So much for the 0530 start. Poor guy. I went back out. Lots of bait and fish 50 to 100 feet down. I was in 125 to 200 fow. Had one and list it. That's all . Could not make them bite. Fished 0930 to noon by the time I got back and re launched. I never catch anything​ when it is rough.

I went today. June 24. Lake was rough. 4 to 5 footers. Saw lots of bait 50 to 100 feet down, in 125 to 220 fow. Marked quite a few fish too. Could not catch them. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just bought a pack of 6 familiar bite. $10. Now I remember why I don't use meat very often. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ok confused. I thought the roemer was attached to the fishing line, and they slide down the thing until they hit the end of the line, likely a flasher or paddle. Are you connecting them to the downriggwr cable instead? Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I used 10 colors of lead all summer and fall last year. No problem with fleas. Weird isn't it? Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I've never caught one that big. My biggest is 17 lb. Sent from my XT1030 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
