These work well for fixed slider rigs. https://capt-chuck.com/shop/fishing-gear/dreamweaver-legendary-elberta-clipr-fixed-slider/

I run sliders most of the time. Usually just light spoons with a 3 to 4 foot leader.I have had a few doubles doing so.When the Silver Bass get thick you catch a lot more of them than eyes on them. I have run harnesses on them also with luck but they tend to tangle more.I fish solo often and a couple more lures minus the extra rods help.

Did you check your gas vents to make sure they are not blocked ?

I have been over that secret bridge Quite a few times.

I use to use this one from Sturgeon Point but it is no longer live. http://www.lakevision.com/camera_2.htm There is also this one near the mouth of the river. https://iceboom.nypa.gov/ Not the best but better than nothing. I agree also would be nice to have better cameras.It's like 50 miles one way for me.It's a drag when things are rough like yesterday.Wind forecast didn't look to bad got there and it was rough.Made for tough fishing.

Where is the sign that said launch closed ? I didn't see that when I launched at 2AM Saturday morning. The excavator was up on the hill where they are putting the sand they are dredging out. They had poles in the middle where they haven't dredged yet. Channel on the left side was plenty deep for my boat.

You shouldn't have to re drill anything.Re tie if yours are not 9 inches in the front and 14 inches in the back on the rope.Some guys add a second keel I haven't don't know how much it helps.Big Jons don't pull real hard like some of the other boards and one side always seems to pull better than the other depending on the wind and the waves.Some guys use 200 pound power pro for there tow line instead of the dacron orange line that comes with the mast.Your releases will slide down it better and it doesn't belly as much because it is lighter and doesn't absorb as much water.

If your talking about Big Jon Otter Boards 9in. on the front to your knot and 14in. on the back.

Had no problem getting out of Sturgeon last night. Just had to hug the left edge going out.

Thanks Jim

Well what is the status of the launch ? Are we good to go? Thanks Youngblood

That's why I use wire.If I want fight I go to Lake Ontario and catch Kings.If I want food I go to Erie.I catch plenty of Eyes of my riggers with no weight or drag and they still don't fight.
