Thank you. The information I get here is always appreciated. Mike

I've had good success using dipsey's, but I've never figured out how to reset a leadcore line while running dipsey's on the same side. How can I be sure that they won't tangle when the leadcore crosses over the dipsey on the way out to the end of the planerboard? Any help would be greatly...

thanks:D Mike

Hey I was wondering if anyone here has fished the elbow lately? I was hopeing to get out Sunday but not looking forward to the drive from Hamilton to Port Bruce.

Casey I purchased charts for the areas I fish, sealed them in plastic and placed them in my boat where i'm shure they will never be used. This is nothing but a money grab. Do you realy feel that any of us could give our location off a chart. Lake Ontario is deep and with few obstructions off...

Nope must be the proper paper charts you get from a marine store. Mike

Thanks Dave; I think i'll get one just to be safe. Lake Ontario Police don't appear to be as forgiving. Mike

It appears to have been around for a while. Law states something like (either paper charts or an good knowledge of the waters ). Do you know all the depth changes in all the areas you travel ? I don,t and with the day s of gps and fishfinders Who really does? Mike

The O.P.P. have been warning and ticketing fishermen in Lake Ontario recently for not having paper navigational charts of the area that they were fishing. [:(!] Is this also happening on Erie ? It means purchasing charts for every water body that we fish or travel.:( Any one planning to fish...

Meridian I have launched at many many ramps all over Ontario and my advise to you is NOT TO LAUNCH AT NORTH ERIE MARINA. If you do you will be spoiled forever. I began launching there late last season and was amazed at the great servce these two people offered. You will have no problem...

I also live away from both lakes and have found it frustrating to say the least at showing up to the ramp and seeing 4 foot waves. I have found www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ to be very helpfull. You can select a bouy close to the area you wish to fish and read all the data including the history of wave...

Marshman, Scrimmy Ive just read the post by Scrimmy with his RANT. It is to bad cowards will go so far out of their way to hurt someone. I live far from port Bruce and therefore only get to fish there a couple times a season. It is because of your posts that I'm able to be succesfull . I'm sorry...

P.S. I love my Crestliner 202 Tournament Have you hooked at them ?

Misty some great info here. If you must outfit your boat over several years like most of us, riggers probably should be your last investment. You can cover much more water with a good selection of dipsy's for a lot less money. I use my riggers only when fishing very deep or in tight areas.

Thanks for the input guys. Do you think the fish have moved to the deeper water? Two weeks ago I hit a line of baitfish that ran for miles with large hooks below and above, this Sunday I could not find either bait or fish. Thanks again; Mike

Has anyone fished out of Nanticoke lately? I have tried the past couple of weekends with only minimum success. I've tried between 60 and 90 feet with purple worm harness's catching fish. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Mike

Bassmaster you are correct waving your arms in a crossing manner is an international sign of distress and boaters are obligated to respond. But who is there to police this? Good people will always help. Perhaps the jerks that passed by becaues their lives are so important, will breakdown and be...

It's a shame that we have become too busy with ourselves that we can't help others ! Double H we are all going to be in the same situation at some time, and we all need to help each other. If you call the coast guard on channel 16 you can ask for assistance and they will relay that request to...

Chromeseeker are we little children? Do we need to keep secrets ? Perhaps you and your friends should speak in code. You are missing the point of message boards,they are here to promote our sport and they do this by being an out let for our friends to brag. The bragging promotes interest and...

Heading out early, thanks for the help guys. I'm looking forward to a good day on the water. Hope to see you there. Thanks again, The Drifter.
