We did run over a bait boil, that's when we hooked a quick 3. I literally looked and saw a boil between inside and outside board and immediatly got a fish. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If any of you go out, and find my tot, please return. He is missed. Poor fella was brand new and caught 2 browns and a Laker back to back to back. Then, he decided to stay in LadyO. Throughout the day I kept yelling "tot"!!!?? Tot ??? So if your out there and you hear somebody yelling for tot, just smile and nod. Lol Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If the bite is half as good,it will be worth the trip. 1/4 before and after keg, 1/4 mile before and after piers were holding fish. I watched some of the video and right after piers we had 4 rods fire in 3 minutes. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Launched at Olcott. 15 knot north north/east. Went to keg and rolled back past the piers. Couldn't take a break. Went 26/29. Lost a big one in the prop wash. Also grabbed a Laker on a hot n tot in 17fow. Was an awesome day !!! 17-18 fow. Spoon program was hot. Green/copper. Green chartuse. Green/blue/gold. Seems everything we threw caught fish. All released to fight another day. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I am also new but can pass on the few things I've learned. First off, "investing" in gear is a necessity. This ain't a hook and bobber game. There's lots of solid colours baits but the hot color / setup can change and running yesterday's hot stuff doesn't always work today. Don't buy 10 of the same thing at first, switch up colors. Get a variety of everything from spoons to rod /reel combos. Riggers, wire dipsys and leads ( I think ) are a great starting point and fairly easy to manage. Consider early season on going with a charter. They can teach you fast. They have the experience and show you the program. I opted to learn from a 15 year lakeO weekend warrior and countless members here, but considering the charter trip this year. Fleas... The slimy wads that end up all over your stuff.... You will quickly find out what they are mid season. A huge tip on removal is to bend a loop in your line and "pinch" them off. If you try to pull off like seaweed you will be there for awhile. I also recommend a quick Google image search to see what those nasty buggers look like up close ! Other than that, keep a good attitude and always be willing to learn. Tons of info on here, tons of awesome members willing to help. Your in the right place! Watch the classifieds for gear your after or just ask. I have saved a ton by buying used. And good luck, one rookie to another. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Curious as well. I'm a rook so mine have a few trips. From what I've seen most guys say 2 seasons. I'll follow this to see what the real experienced folks say Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
