Another quick trip before work this morning. Lines in about 5:20, pulled lines at 9. Nice steady bite the whole time out and finished 11-16. Mostly a spoon bite on the riggers today. Divers with ff took 4 shots and a meat rig took a nice one for us. A lot of screaming reels this morning.

We did the inside thing . Found a pod of fish and worked it . Off the water at 9 . 

 

4 good kings and a coho plus a few more rips . No particular bait was the one . Spoons and Gary D rigs all took shots . Divers and riggers . 

 

I have a copper back doctored 42 second Mag that has catches fish each trip. .

I don’t remember anymore but I may have to experiment a flasher trailed by a tube body that I use for laker jigging to try a different presentation

Great pics, this weekend is looking decent so far. FYI,  I Google Gary D, all I got was a port site. 🤔

Hey Clark, I’ll be fishing in front of Port Ontario Saturday until noon.  If you’re out there I’d be happy to share intel or God forbid you need any assistance, give me a shout.

How were  the  water fleas??

[wallysackett]

Weren’t those Gary d rigs supposed to be available for purchase commercially by now??

[HB2]

That was the plan . I was supposed  be retired by now but my services are in demand . 

 

I met with a plastic guy that went nowhere . And see some guys who are small lure manufacturers put an awfully lot of work into it.  And there will be labor intensive . And I see Bayrat go out of buisness so I'm apprehensive . And I don't have the time right now . 

 

But I still use them and they work . 

[greenhornet73]

Bay Rat went out of business?! 

[HB2]

That's my understanding 

[greenhornet73]

Wow, that’s a shame

I met the owner of MC Rockets some years ago when we were up in Quinte fishing the ice and he had small microwaves in his apartment that he used for whatever plastic he was using to make them. Not sure if this helps or not…
