Sounds like a perfect maiden voyage! Be careful with your addiction. It could lead to purchasing 100 different spoons and still feeling the need for just one more!!

Great job! Always fun and satisfying getting a good fish on a solo trip.

Cheaters are a line about 4’ long that has a swivel on One end and a spoon on the other. When u are trolling w the riggers the main line will bow back between the tip of the rod and the ball. You take the swivel and attach it around the line going to the ball and then u toss the lure out behind the ...

Thanks for the replies. I was starting to question my rigger set ups.

I seem to get more action on my cheaters then I do on my riggers. Also, I can have the rigger at 30 which puts the cheater at 15 yet if i raise my other rigger to 15 and put the same spoon on I don’t get the fish like I do on the cheater. Any ideas why? Ball spooking them vs the stealth of the cheat...

The port of Johns have been there the last few years. Thinking maybe they are having issues with the regular bathrooms Even though they are just glorified Porta potty’s. But enough about mother nature calls. How did everyone do? We struggled a little on Friday to get going with the waves in the morn...

Whole lotta water out there this year. Without the docks it’s Going to be a little challenging at the Port Henry launch when we come in to weigh those derby fish! Good luck to all!

The launches are busy but not too crazy. I' ve fished out of Port Henry and Westport during the LCI and never had much of a wait going in or out.

Although I won't be able to make Norm's Derby due to the death of a real good buddy, I thought a little plug for the derby was in order. Norm runs a very nice low key derby with prize money given and some bragging rights bestowed on some of the winners. But the biggest winners of the derby are the k...

I just heard Norms and Ditillios are all out of their size 4 Mepps! Awesome fish.
