I want to thank everyone on this site and the Buffalo area specifically. Just bought a Crestliner Raptor 1850 in June and after a short learning curve I've been doing well out of SP. Went out Tues and got 4 in the boat biggest was 9 lber. Wed did great before the wind picked up boated 8 with the biggest about 6 lbs. only one pencil. Kept two for dinner the rest went back in. I've been fishing straight out of SP in 60ish ft of water trolling with Walker 107 divers 123 ft back with a trolling spoon and crawler 6 ft back on 15 lb fluro leader. The trolling spoons were a couple of medium sized salmon spoons that I took the treble hook off and put a 30 lb. red Cajun Line small leader with beads and 3 Gamakatsu #2 octopus hooks on. This was way cheaper than buying a Thundermist trolling spoon set up like this. I think all total with the hooks and spoons I have $4 into them. Anyways thanks again and I hope to be a frequent contributor.
