Squeezed in a coupla hrs with a bud for my first trolling trip of the season of Lake O

found a pocket of warm colored water & we got a coupla these...

things are only going to get better in the coming weeks!

this is how i run my Sub Troll Probe

Walker release (same as Blacks) then 8" length to my clip to my Probe

then I run a Scotty rigger snubber bewteen the probe & the ball... sometimes Ill run a release off the ball or I will use the top Walker release, depends on what Im running & such of course....

It will vary with each lake.

Lake.O was very inconsistent for us this season,with lake temps all over the place.

Never really developed a hot combo,as it changed frequently week after week.

gotta agree with Skein

early June & mid-late August sucked

even though i was not out much this past season, the Chrome Green Dolphin Spin Doctor was a good producer for me as far as "new" baits go

yeah!!

More Lake O sharks!

usually early March for browns

I am a huge Hendricks fan, but I am glad Newman won as opposed to Kurt Busch or any of the Toyotas. Newman's an alright guy & was long overdue for a big win.

the key to better procrastination, more fishing sites!

nice to have ya here bud

I am a Hendricks kinda guy - any of 'em would be fine by me...

in a few weeks the "list" of things to get on my boat should be complete, weather pending, I hope to be out in early March look'n for trout

I have a bud who has done well with spoons behind Spinnys both off riggers & Divers

never did accurately measure my biggest one... came from shore back in '97 - looking back on it now... maybe 36-37lbs?

27 was my best this past season...

a big brown is my hit list now....

hey everyone great looking site... see a few familiar names/faces here...

name is Mark and "freetime" (16.5 Crestliner) is my boat. After almost 10 years off, Ive been getting back into great-lakes trolling the past few seasons with much enthusiasm. I mostly fish the Niagara-to-Oakville area of Lake Ontario with the occassion trip to Erie

look forward to learning from others here & contributing when I can!
