  3. Nice job of catching!
  4. Nice job on the eyes and the bonus steel!
  5. Welcome to the website Derek! Lots of boats will only troll in one direction. If you are catching fish in that directions, why change? You can catch fish in any direction the wind is blowing. Most people use a GPS for their trolling speeds. GPS speed only tells you how fast you are going on the surface. One of the keys to being successful is having the correct down speeds while you are trolling. Some people(myself included) use an underwater speed and temp probe to know what the down speed and temp probe is. The down water temp is a very important part of success. You will hear lots of different answers on what chinook prefer for water temp. I look for them in the 42-48 degree water. In the early morning and late evenings, you will get them in 54 + water. If you do not have an underwater speed and temp probe, you can judge your down speed by the bend in your diver rods. When you catch a fish, look at the tip, in relation to the reel. Try to keep this same bend when you change directions. Watch your GPS speeds going into the current, and going with the current, and you will see your rods bent at different positions. Here is another speed tip. If you are making a turn, and an outside rod fires, there is a good chance you may not be trolling fast enough. If its and inside rod that fires, you may need to slow down. Once you complete your turn, adjust your speed. You also need to take into account the water current. The quickest way to shorten your learning curve, is to hop on a boat with someone who has been doing it for a while. See how they run their spread. If you have questions about something, ask. Dont just show up to fish.
  6. Nice job Dan! Looks like a nice peaceful day on the river.
  7. That looks like one of those Lake Ontario fish. I hope there will be a lot more of those around in the next few years.
  8. Nice job Adam. It only takes one to get someone hooked. Nice job on the hand net job.
  9. Nice clean looking rig Jeff! Yah....the light on the post in the parking lot kind of looks like radar.
