[woody 184]

Very nice

[Fishtails]

Nice Nick !!  How good did that feel....lmao.  Screaming drags have been tough to come by this season, but that's all gonna change right fast !  Good fish bud, get another one so ya have a pair of his and hers  

[TOP SECRET]

Rod I think you're right. With all the hooks we saw today, next weekend may be hot.

[Finders Keepers]

How big is that one Nick?

[TOP SECRET]

My scale read 15lbs, it was a fatty, but not real long.

[Finders Keepers]

Still a nice king!! I haven't heard a good drag rippin' since May!!

[TOP SECRET]

Yeah fishing has been tough... but I have faith that it is going to pick up very very soon!

[TOP SECRET]

Signs to know when it is King season:

Day 1: water warms and black flies hatch. Seem harmless, ignore them.

Day 5: Black flies arrive, begin to devour human flesh. Swear you will never fish this lake again.

Day 7: you are fighting a screamer, while your wife hooks up another bag for your continuous blood transfusion, due to the flies chewing on your legs while fighting a king!

Welcome to Day 1 my friends...

Wrap a wet towel on the antenna and see if it works deeper

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ill second the wet rag or towel,anybody got thee hummingbird 360 working today ?

[TOP SECRET]

Wet rag doesnt seem to help much. I ordered a new antenna, pretty sure the rca cable connection is corroded.

[John Kelley]

Go get 'em, NIck!!  Wish I was still out there, slammin' the salmon with all of you!  Love living vicariously through all you and everyone out there's reports.  Sounds like the big fish are about to set up, when the warm weather finally hits!!  Good luck to you and the wife!!!

Abes (now called Warehouse) has a dock to park at while you eat.

Drats, wish I had read this earlier! Although not sure it would work with the stop beads on my Scotty.

[rlconverse]

I have scottys have not tried with the auto stop beads i belive it would work tho I didnt want to do anything to the cable to make it possibly fail. I tried the topredo cable with not very good results

[TOP SECRET]

Let's go fishing!

[TOP SECRET]

Same story as yesterday. A lot of hooks with bait, but no one can get them going. 51deg down 40 over 200fow.

Lots of bait in the 20-40ft area.
