Lunkerhunter Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Last year I bought a new boat and started to learn how to fish out on lake ontario for salmon. With some help from some awesome friends i was able to pick it up pretty quickly. This year has been shaping up to be one heck of a year with 2 fish pushing 30 pounds already. I can only hope this pattern continues throughout the derby and I can get my name on the board. it is pretty awesome when you have a fish peel close to 500 feet of line. Lake Ontario has one hell of a fishery thats for sure. here are the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Nice kings!!! Any reason why you've got your dipsy setup so high off the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 hey bill, just noticed that. no reason really .hahahaa probably didnt realize it was up that high. i havent been getting too many on my dipsy's. would that affect it? You'd probably gain a few feet by bringing it down a little, but I can't see that being the reason why you haven't had it fire yet... When I'm out there I run a pretty standard SD+fly setup on both mine... Setting #3, as far as as it takes, lol. I still don't have confidence in them to be honest but it's fun fighting those giants on braid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I run mine at that level and even a bit higher only to try and make them stand out a bit more from the other set ups (lead core, riggers) Kind of mid way between a rigger and a board. Shakers on the dipsey rod with +200 feet of line out can be hard to detect and i run 50-50 spoon to fly set ups on these rods. The higher rod gives a bit more sensitivity to something dragging - it's also one heck of a wake up call when a big one slams it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nice work boys! Our divers have been HOT! More fish on them than anything else. Almost always kings. Set them back over 200ft on a 3 setting and see what happens. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnsled Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Awesome fishing!! Nicely done Andrew and company. I've been marking lots of bait as well but nothing like I did on Sunday, screen was full of bait for the longest time. I'd say there was just as much bait last year as well.

I lanched out of grimsby and trolled around 120 feet and only got bows and a small king. we were using NK28 thinkin maybe i should switch to a SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
