Low Baller

Go for it, but way the options of investing a grand or so into a small craft or if a bigger boat is doable. Just keep safety priority 1 Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Damb dude, awesome video man! Made my day! Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good info for all. The whole purpose of this thread is not just a few bragging rights. It's geared to helping out the weekend warriors like myself. Cayuga is one of my favorites. Always looking for that bucket list Atlantic, and it's great practice for lowering the learning curve before trying to mix it up with the big dogs. An educated mariner make good allies, especially in the O when sh**t can get bad quick. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You're right, last yr was great. I like to fish the gap between the inside combat and the fleet. Furthest I've gone is 180 out of Mexico. Guessing about 12 mls. Always making sure I maintain visual with other vessels in case of mechanical failure. Next weekend is anniversary so I'm trying get one run after that before archery. Hunting steel is my favorite.

Keep at it Wallychaser, I'm just a Sept king chaser. Took alot of driving and disappointment. Learned a ton from a few guys willing to help the little guys. Some on this thread. Try dragging a pair of moonshine spoons on bottom marks. Worked well on the stagers last yr. Just thinking out loud, lol. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

Thanks for taking me fishing guys Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Damb dude, I'm assuming you stayed in the kiddy pool at 50 for the browns. Anything over 3 is too hectic for me. From the pics being posted I'm guessing 3 to 5' rollers Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's to bad, I feel guilty for saying go for it. They changed forcasts every 12 hrs it seems. Dorian's back wind isn't helping, always a crap shoot. The disadvantages of being a low budget baller, speaking for myself. Be safe get the kid some breakfast. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hello Chief, I have a planing fin on my 25 tiller. Helps alot, and actually slows me down slightly at idle. Biggest problem I run into is current. Any suggestions for the low budget guy that doesn't run a hawk. I try to tack the current depending on wind direction. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Very nice! That sunset pic is beautiful, I'd have that blown up and framed. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You should have been with me last Saturday afternoon. We had a big male give us the okidoke at the net. Took out a rigger and a dipsey. Guy's in another boat thought we were waving mayday and came over to check on us. Fd up. Glad he checked though. Funny sh**t Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Alot of fish in close if you're up to some combat and caos. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll be here pouting. Get it done, be safe, they're just fish. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I already made other commitments so the lake will be flat lol. Go for it, send pics Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeh, I'm not liking what I'm seeing. Might be another 1 and done for me this yr. WNW at 10 - 15 knots. That's a guaranteed 2-4' ers. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

She's a 98 16 voyager deluxe . Tiller trolling can be trying. Hand cranks , planer mast etc. I don't have speed at the balls so it's a guessing game. She'll idle at 1.8 to 2.0 on surface speed. I listen to the cables, watch the degree of blowback and the 2 sonars. My old humminbird is angled to watch riggers and surface speed. The helix gives me structure as well. Some times I read following fish and then slow down, speed up or turn slightly to entice. Like they say, every squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Last year was the 1st time I limited solo, but conditions were good. I just run the gear and pass off rods now. Team effort. Alot of work but really cool when it comes together.

That's what I call a small craft advisory. Lol Don't leave fish to find fish. Love to target what silver I can reach, if all else fails,go in and pissm off for a few swipes. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for checking in. I torture myself every September. 4 1/2hr run for me but I'm used to driving for work. This is yr 12 for me and the misty harbor. Tried to graduate to something bigger but it's not in the cards. I'm almost glad, my step pop gave me his rig about 15 yrs ago. He only used 3 yrs, he passed 4 yrs ago and was a hell of a fisherman. I don't think he intended it for what I do, but I know he's laughing his ass off. If any of you guys ever need a body ,I'd drive up just for the ride. Can't tell you the adrenaline rush that guys get when we hook up. Good sh**t, but I'm always humble. Love reading all the threads during the late season. Alot of good folk on here. Keep it tight!

Keeping an eye to the sky for this weekend. I'm seeing E wind 5 to 9 with spotty showers Fri and Sat. N 7-13 on Sun. Any imput is appreciated. Spent enough time in the parking lot last weekend. Thanks in advance! Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app
