What about a heavy mono leader Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] for sure. Wouldn't a gill bet be more destructive than a cast net Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Gill you are right my friend! Will try a different approach. Thanks as always brother! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Kring point is the destination. June 24th through the 28th. I have had luck before in the river up near jack cater state park. This is new territory for me lots of shoals and islands to fish off of but I have no idea where to start or what to use. I am a lake trolling guy but enjoy the islands for small mouth and pike. Drifting with live bait seems to work for me and the crew (my old lady and brother) but I'm looking for any insight on hot spots and technique. I have the trolling gear (riggers and dipsys leadcore and copper) every lure you can imagine but I don't have lots of time to dial in for days. The LOU has a great community of fisherman and I figured what better place to ask from the greatest anglers in the world (gambler,Yankee)[emoji6]. Lucky to have this community tight lines!

I'm wondering if 80lb mono would work for pike. Figured it's low visual. Would it be strong enogh? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks will give it a shot. Too bad you can't use a cast net. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Was thinking of using a cast net to catch some alewife and brine them and use them in meat rigs. Any thoughts? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Awesome thanks for the report ! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Browns were good this year in front of rochester. I do think it is kinda slow but water is cold fish are everywhere and so is Bait. Makes it hard to catch a fish with a full belly. No thermo set up yet so fish can be anywhere. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Was wondering if the launches are closed both sides? I wish they updated the list of closed state launches. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

25$ for okuma classic trolling rods on amazon Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Definitely will drag with waves but it can add some action and also give false releases I'd just use dipsys with steel line. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have big planer boards and run 400 and 30p copper. Use rubber bands to avoid kinks on the copper. They will break when a fish hits if you use the right bands. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It all depends on line diameter. All line has a diameter written on the box. Braided line has better strength with less diameter and also last a lot longer. I use the 45 okuma for everything including salmon. I work 20lb power pro as a backer on most reels copper and lead core. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for the report. I am out of ibay/rochester and have yet to really get time to troll except for browns earlier with success. Do lakers suspend in the water colum at 50' in 100+fow? I always thought they are bottom dwelling fish. Will report my catch later this week. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Anyone still getting browns from the genny or ibay? I'm based out of there and honestly lost on where and what to fish for. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
