    Yesterday only hooked up in 60FOW. Today nothin in 60 all hits in 80FOW. I fished from 20 FOW trou 100 and thats where i got em. But everyday things change of course. I didnt use my boards at all. Well i tried to send one out but while letting it out it came of the mast line and went floating away. LOL

    just got back home from my weekend trip. Fished 6am-12. Ended 6/7. I started right where i left off last night and got right on the fish. 80FOW in front of the plant. Riggers down 40 and 60 and dipseys runnin 120ft out on 3rd setting. All spoons again and colors were fat nancy,sodus buckeye,and a rainbow spotted spoon. First 20 min both riggers went screamin and lost one. The other was a 16lb king. A few min later two dipseys fired and we finally landed a double. Two nice browns. We looked like true professionals handleing the double unlike the rookies we are on the previous mess. LoL. Another small king and two lakers followed. Awesome trip can’t wait for next trip.

    Went back out from 3:00-7;00 in front of the plant fishing in 80FOW. Ended the evening 3/5. 1 king 15lband two browns. Had some excitement thou. Hit a triple and all reels taking drag. Me and the wife “as rookies” made of mess of everything and only landed one fish bein the only king. All spoon bite. Camping tonight and hitting it again bright and early.

    I am leaving in a few hrs for my first trip to Lake Ontario for 2019. Last year i did well for my rookie year from catfish to the plant for spring browns.seems to be alot of posts of members hitting some nice kings in a little deeper water(40-60FOW). Just lookin for some info of where to start to look for some kings. Last year all my browns were from 10-20FOW and didnt connect with any kings. I know the BASICS of lookin for a temp change and color change and work that area for browns but without the thermocline setup what do you look for to get on spring kings? Thank you guys for any input

    Last year was the first year i have fished Lake Ontario and i did very well with spring browns the few trips i made. (for a rookie with limited gear) I am leaving in a few hrs to fish all day tomarrow and Sunday for my first trip of the year. I will post while I’m out there and hopefully i hook onto a few.

    Good stuff. I’m packing up and leavin in a few hrs for my first trip to Lake Ontario. All these posts of early kings is getting my blood pumping.
  10. Hachimo
    Nice catch. It’s looking like its gonna be another great year on Lake Ontario. Seeing a good amount of early kings
  11. Hachimo
    Sounds like a successful trip. Thanks for the report. Pending on weather i will be making the 3hr trip north to finally start my year this weekend
  12. Hachimo
    Im planning my first trip this weekend. I usually launch out mexico and fish from catfish to the power plant. Good luck out there and please post how you make out.

    Good fishing, the kids look like there loving it. Is there gonna be another video of this trip?lol. Think i watched all ur videos 3x’s over durring the long winter months. Keep em coming

    I really appreciate the pics. I will probly end up mounting the mast’s on the bow and take the reels and mount them on the handrail. Last thing i want to deal with is rods tangled on the planer line and chancing a copper setup goin over board. Thanks for the imput guys
  15. Hachimo
    Well i couldnt wait for that warm day to come so i went outside in the cold and got one side done. I was gonna angle them one more click upward as i went up with the three, but instead I kept them all at the same angle just spun them on the rail a litle more as i went up with the 3 so the rods arent right above each other. So when i stick my 3 rods in, each tip is about a ft higher then the last and about 18” to the left. My only concern is that is this setup gonna work where my planer mast is? Just seems my line goin out to the boards is gonna be against my rods. Any thoughts on my setup here? I never fished with any kind of boards but really want to get this right, not only for browns and salmon but walleye on Lake Wallenpaupack thats 10 min from my house. Maybe best to wait till the ice is off and run the boards and adjust rod holders accordingly

    Well, with that new fish hawk unit i can almost guarantee to have lots of fresh salmon to be served at the reception.
  17. Hachimo
    I agree Gambler. That would make a great wedding gift. Feel free to pm me for my address and you can send it out lol.

    After fishing my first year last year on Lake Ontario. Ive been debating myself if i should spend the money on a new fish hawk bein I’m a weekend warior 3hrs away from in NEPA. After reading all these response think I’m gonna imvest the money amd get one on the boat. I figure i have 10k imvested in my old 25’ trophy and all the gear to get started to catch a few kings a year and i did pretty well last year puting 2-3 kings a day every weekend i went up without it. But i fished the marks with my riggers and watch speed on my fish finder but spent many hrs with no success. Theres that WHAT IF my speed at 100FOW is faster or slower then what im lookin for. If that fishhawk can help put 2-3 fish more a day by dialing speed and finding thermocline then $700 isn’t much compared to what i spent on everything else. I also am on a budget bein getting married this upcoming August, but will have one on the boat by June.

    I just recived them yesterday. I got them on ebay for 70$ shipped for 6 of them. They are Amarine brand. They got some weight to them and seem pretty heavy duty for $11.73 a piece. Only issue i had was the bolts were 1/4 to long becouse my rail is a little smaller then i thought. Put shorter bolts in and the first one mounted nice and tight. Next warm day I’ll mount the reat and get them adjusted. Thanks guys for all your imput.
  20. Hachimo
    Yea i was kinda think of that. To change the angle u gotta take them right off cause the screw is imside to make adjustments. Definitely see that not happening in 2-4 footers.
  21. Hachimo
    I agree. Hope evryone stays safe and property owners and marinas have minimal damage if any. I’m new to Lake Ontario bein this will be my second year on it and it seems like a pretty big deal to me. Where do i look for the webcams on the lake? Is there a link on this sight?
  22. Hachimo
    Thank you guys. Yea some paracord and clip is gonna go on for insurance. My copper combos are worth much more then all then all the rod holders. Sk8man. Ive had some issues with stainless Bolts and cast aluminum/steel housings. Crank to tight and your pulling threads out. I’m guessing there worth a try if you had them that long on your boat. Worst case scenario they slip and dont hold true on handrail. At least with a clip on reel i wont loose the combo. Thank you guys. I’m gonna order them and give em a shot

    I have a 1988 Trophy 2460 Hardtop. I’m lookin to put 3 rod holders on each sode for my new planer masts i put on. I’m lookin to put these clamp on rod holders on my side handrails. They are cheap as i dont have the money for a nicer setup for this year. Already spent enough on improvements for this year. My question is do you guys think these rod holders can handle the hit from a king. Plan on havin a long copper and 10 color leadcore of each side, if i want to try something different from riggers and dipsey off each side. I would hate to have an equipment failure and loose an entire combo. Any one have experience with these rod holders? I will be secureing the handrail so that wont be an issue. I’m adding pics of the boat handrail and rod holders. Thank you for any imput.
