Low Baller

Hey Hornet, hope you're doing well. I've learned alot from reading Sk8man's tricks. As far as stacking, it works great when conditions are right, but gets real ugly when it's not. For instance, in the finger lakes everything has to be tweeked for dealing with smaller fish. I've drowned my share of dinks. In The O, it turns into caos with kings. But I'm a small craft, so I can't risk to much or it becomes a safety issue. I did drop a slider on a rigger cable this past Saturday and wound up drowning a dink Atlantic. Wanted to see what the smaller fish where hanging at 40'. Keep it simple. Just my opinion. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sorry Walleye, didn't realize that pic would pop up front. Was just trying to lighten a bad situation. Been there too. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks guys, ran out to 120 this morning for a couple hrs. Marked alot of fish, but no takers. We both decided to bag it with the east blow. Content with our trip. See you in a week or so. Get after them! Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I put them on swivel bases bolted through. That way I can swing them in for service without leaning over the boat as far. Works wonders. No standing on this rig. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Finally got wet by 2pm. Punched out Ty's ticket. 1 to 4s what a ride. Went 3 for 4 by 6pm. One took out a dipsey and ran away with $40 worth of gear. Fished off the stacks 90 to 140. Riggers at 80 and 90, FF's all day. Dipseys 150 and 180. 1 dink Atlantic and small coho were bonus throw backs. Great trip. See you tomorrow!

I'll be there with cowbells on tomorrow morning. We're still hanging out at Mexico, gonna take a peek at 2pm see how she handles. If I can run to catfish I'll be in the money. They're definitely catching today. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Hornet, it was a little bumpy but worth it. Just want to fish, hanging out with the club at Mexico now. Waiting for the break. Big boats are doing well at 100 on some fresh fish. Alot of the stagers went through the estuary yesterday. So they say? Be safe,they're just fish. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hey newmike, another pa runner with a short rig. Out of the Reading area near blue marsh. Run a 16 with a 25 tiller, hand cranks, etc. Been doing it for 12 years now. Tough fishing, but very rewarding. Keep your head on a swivel out there. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good deal offshore. Rig's looking good. Missed out on the spring browns, but the labor day weekend run is on. See you soon. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's it,can't take it anymore. Uncle! Took 4 of the grandkids out for pa opener, kids had fun but I can't even look at 8" trout anymore. Great reports guys, hoping to make a run in 2 weeks. Sent from my SM-G900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app
