Can't remember the name but it had cedar oil in it, maybe from field and stream or somewhere similar. I also know some guys that use one for stable flies for horses which you can get at tractor supply, fly shield or something with shield in the name

Thermacells don't work for the flies, there are a few insecticides that do hold them at bay though

Yellowpike, I used to do something similar when fishing lake ontario for lakers.  we attach to our canon ball a piece of stiff wire bent such that two "ears" hung approx. 18" below and to the sides of the canon ball.  when trolling the wire ends would tick or drag bottom, lessening the chance of a cannonball getting snagged, which I have done and definitely don't recommend  :(  

kicking up the bottom definitely works on bottom hugging fish  :)

don't know about any motels. we stay in a campground right buy the launch

My buddy and I fished Erie for the first time this year on the 4th. Caught 8, the biggest being 29" and smallest 18". 4 on harnesses and 4 on sticks. Fished off the point in 54' to 80'. We thought it was slow for this time of year but I guess almost everyone is having the same type of fishing.

I do dock in olcott for the one week I fish there. I'm sure it's someone else you've seen. I don't have the name on my boat. 18' Lund fisherman

I just put an ulterra on my boat. I thought I was satisfied with my old co-pilot just wanted the spot lok and a 24volt system. Fished for stripers the last 2 days and I must say the stow and deploy and auto pilot are sweet. Can't wait to try it on Lake Erie.

Could have seen me. I know I've seen King Slammin!

Been fishing Lake Erie and Ontario for the last 5 years. Walleye and perch out of presque isle in Erie and salmon out of olcott. Been a member of LOU for about 3 years and happy to see this new site. Hope it's half as informative as LOU.

tight lines,
