Scalloper 1

I will be fishing out of Henderson from Aug 5-9. I plan on taking one morning to try to get a walleye as I have always wanted to catch one but never seen one. I have a 20' Duckworth. I am leaning to trying Oneida for a morning unless there is a decent chance near Henderson where I may have a good chance at catching a few. Any areas close to Henderson or Oneida? Depths, baits? Thanks

I was just reading the name on the "Fishing Hot Spots" chart. I did see the "Wall" your referring to in the shipping lane. So how are these areas producing now? The Wall (shipping lane) and the Trench.

I have the Nobel Tec Time Zero Explorer I use on commercial vessels for scallop fishing and the option to lay TDs over the charts are on that program. I have not checked on my Garmin yet

Wall???

Yes, The area from the "Trench to the Wall" just west of Stony Point 116-150' of water

I have caught 1,000s with a Sabiki rig in the ocean at depths of 2-275'. We just put a 1 lb bell sinker on the rig. Those rigs will catch about anuthing from a 5" elwive to a 6' poorbeagal.

Is there any salmon or trout in this area this time of the year? I will be in Henderson Wed-Sun

guffins,

Many of the plotters we use have the ability to overlay TDs on the charting screen. This is much more useful then lat long on many levels. I will dig a little deeper into my Garmin Ultra to see if that feature is offered.

I have looked and looked.  If you can find an old fishing hot spots map, they had the TD's on them.  Funny thing is, a lot of fisherman don't even know what TD's are.  We use TD's extensively here in the eastern basin.  I know I may get hammered for this, but Bill Saiff III introduced me to the system and how it aligns perfectly with the structure of the eastern basin of Lake Ontario.  Furuno GP-39's will overlay TD's and give you your numbers too.

As a commercial fisherman for almost 40 years here in Maine. TDs are what we always have used for the same reason Bill S mentioned.

Is there a place where I can purchase charts on LO showing TDs?

I plan on taking the wife out for 3-4 days 5th-9th this week. How have the kings/steal head been biting? I was there July 10-11 and did very well but I haven't herd how the bite is recently.

Thank you sir.

I am bringing my wife out Aug 5th-9 to fish out of Henderson. I have a 20'6" Duckworth. I will be fishing for kings and Lakers mostly but I have always wanted to catch a walleye. We don't have them here in Maine. Are there many caught this time of the year?

Thanks in advance

Kayaker,

That was it. Thanks all fixed.

Sounds like your braid might be slipping in the spool. Did you use tape, mono backing, or other technique to better secure braid to spool?

I think your right that does sound like the problem now that you mention it. And no I did not put tape or mono backing. My bad

I bought 4 of these new this year 2 for riggers and 2 for leadcore. The two i just recently got for rigger rods are giving me trouble. I loaded them with 50 lb braid and 15 lb Big Game for a leader. The first trip out I had almost no drag with one of them. Yesterday I had almost no drag with both and no clicker while they were creeping out line. So bad I could not begin to load the rods. I messed with them and had a slight improvement of maybe 1.5-2 lbs of drag max. I went into my shop this morning to remove the line and return the reels.But, this morning both reels seeded to work fine. I am planing a trip to Lake O in August. I will try them again but I dont want any issues returning these if I drag my feet. I also am concerned they may not work properly when I go on my trip.

Have any of you had issues with new Accudepth reels? 

I did find a site that sells upgraded drag washers but I am reluctant to tear these new reels apart and chance voiding the warrentee 

Its everything I had hoped for and more. It gets up on plane very quick and its very efficient. So far I have 130 hrs on the main engine and 25-30 on the kicker. I had it 14 miles out in the ocean and it handled the seas perfectly. I have been pleased with the dealer. He did everything he said and for a fair price. I am taking it to Lake O August 9-12

I know the kings run up the rivers in the fall attempting to spawn and I see there are organizations that strip fish of their eggs for the hatchery. But are there naturally spawning king salmon in Lake O or is it all supported by stocking? 

My buddy is looking for a boat like this. Dave, I passed on your information. I will never own another glass boat.

I just bought a new 20' Duckworth. Wish I would have seen this steal.......

Download the Navionics app on your phone, just as good if not better maps than you will find on most mapping cards.

I have had Navionics for years. The "Fishing Hot Spots" was what I was referring to. It explains what different areas are called. Like the "shipping lane, the wall" as well as other fishing areas.

Is there a fishing chart that shows these areas? We have them on the east coast for the ocean.

Also make sure the motor turns freely if not it will cause all kinds of issues.

If you real serious use only single hooks for starters.

I have 6 of there reels. The drags IMO are some of the best but on two of them the drags are not working at all. They have not been used in a few years is there something I can do to get them operating properly?

So I was thinking put one bait out say 20' off the ball then set the stacker out 10-15' hook up the Buds then let out 15-20' of line and stack that one just above the ball.The "Stacker" with BudsDiver without the weight should go out 10-15 feet out from the ball
