nice pictures bug :aok is that lake champlain? ok so I answered my own question, no lol thought clarendon was close to lake champlain for some reason

That is Lake Ontario, fishing for salmon.    I am in western NY.  Here is my first one for the season I caught first time out, before the fish scattered.  He was pushing 20lbs.




Nice boat Rich52, I wish I had a kicker on my boat.  Have to use bags sometimes to slow her down and then when I'm by myself steering becomes real fun.  :furious


Nice fish Vudak!  :aok

I used drift bags for backtrolling walleye or for drifting too. One of those transducers you see is, of course, for my two fishfinders. An LCD and a flasher, the LCD one giving me surface trolling speed. Another is fo a device I hanged off my downrigger ball clasp that gave me trolling speed/water temp "at the lure depth" which can be much, much different then the one at the surface. With the currents and all you might have to go 5mph at the surface to go 2&1/2 mph 80' down. And of course salmon and trout are creature of water temp. In the Great Lakes Temp IS the structure. Very useful gadget.

A spring tourney my partner and I won.

Yeah I haven't been able to pony up and get a probe for down temp/speed yet.  I rely on GPS for surface speed and also angle on down rigger cable to guesstimate the current.  Although today I just got the Fishhawk TD.  :x  You attach it to a line(rigger or spare rod/reel) and drop it down to the bottom  bring it back up and it gives the temps at 5ft intervals.  Hoping that helps me dial them in.   Hoping for a big one this year.  The spring derby they had all top 20 salmon weighed more than the top one from last year.

Much can be solved simply by running multi-speed baits, like Pro-King spoons. Where such a device is really needed tho is when running flys/squids and dodgers/spinners. Those are slow speed setups and dont run well over 2&1/2. I liked running low for Lake Trout with dodgers and flies so thats where it helped me a lot. As did the LORAN cause there were a couple sunken wrecks I'd just as well want to avoid. :huh Calble, rigger ball, connectors, lure, dodger....ect getting hooked up is an expensive disaster.

Took my family to Gulf Shores, Alabama last week for vacation and spent the early mornings and late evenings on the pier fishing with my daughter.

I have a fishing boat sitting in Cape Canaveral that hasn't moved in a year, most likely won't get on it again and trying to sell it.

Between my business and lack of time, I just can't spare $180 to gas up the boat for a 30 mile trip out to gulf current to do some Mahi fishing :(

Yes Flench, they are Reds. I'm hoping to put one on the grill tomorrow night for dinner.

Smaller reds are great. The larger ones you need to deworm.

I used to load up on reds and specs.
