Hi Rob

I got out this morning to it was a little later than I would have liked 7:00 am. I did ok went 5 for 6 the biggest being a 14lb King, a couple real little kings, a nice coho and a 11 lb Laker that was a surprise. I was in 80-140 fow riggers down 40 to 75 got most of them on a fishlander spoon it was blk & white with an eye and some tape on it. I got the laker on a white spin doctor with a howie fly blue and purple off the wire dipsys. I caught some of your chatter on the radio and it did help thanks. I would have said hello but I had 2 totally new people on the boat so I was running my butt off doing everything LOL. Rob I have a depth raider and ran at 2.3 to 2.8. Most of the time I was at 2.4 to 2.5 does this seem right to you?

i run a subtroll, 2.2-2.4 was working for me. ive found it runs slower than other s+t units. glad to hear my rambling helped out.

scotty, all i can say is you missed a good one today.

Double whammy today. An "under the weather" boat and family obligations. Sounds like the whole south shore is lit up right now.

Sounds like everyone else did well today...and our numbers, 11-for-20, weren't too shabby, either. But only three of them were quality silvers, and from the hit/miss ratio, well...frustrating to miss a couple of rips on the wire, then finally hook up with a shaker off the rigger. Not that I'm complaining; beautiful day out there.

We had three lakers today, too, which surprised us 'cause we were trying to keep the speed 2.5 at the ball. Overall, same pattern, depth, rigs described above. Most of the fish came on a West troll and the "pack"...maybe eight or ten boats...seemed to get pushed to the West as the day went on, so I'm guessing some surface current. The copper rigs were relatively quiet, though.

One question: Rob, which channel have you been sitting on? We stuck to 68 this morning as usual and the only chatter we heard was a couple boats asking for radio checks. Tried to call Joe on Reel Drag a couple of times with no answer, too. Thanks.

our port channel is 72. i remember reel drag yesterday looking for you on 72.

First time I tried to use the VHF on Saturday( brand new with the boat) it quit on me, so I was without the radio on Sunday. I really didn't want to mess with a brand new boat but I dug into the dash and found the fuse on the VHF blown. I replaced the fuse, cancelled the new radio at the dealer and was back in business for Monday. Fishing at Olcott on Friday.

Hey Joe,

I figured it had something to do with the new boat

Nice looking rig...reminds me of someone else's. I remember when we bought the first "Nothin' but Net", Keith H. and I went through three radios before the dealer installed one that actually worked. I was hoping to find out when I called you if you'd done anything off the boards. It was about all we weren't throwing at them.

Good luck off Olcott. We'll be out probably one evening this week, then again over the weekend, weather permitting. We'll stick on channel 72, this time. After four years at Sandy, you'd think I'd remember. Must have been hitting 40 last year put the kibish in my memory.

Let us know how you do at Olcott.

Keith I didn't run boards on Sunday, but I took fish on everything with equal catches on the cores, copper, riggers and wire. Just an awesome day for us. We started off the nose and were pretty much all by ourselves with most of the fleet fishing east. Then as the morning went on everyone was moving to the west, I went to the east right out front and did very well to end the day. I would have stayed out until dark but had a party to attend( big family, lots of birthday parties) the wife just won't listen when I say I'm not going!!! Joe
