KING ME

You are correct gill-t I followed and watched that warm water also. Also if you followed the Lake Ontario surface currents all summer long no matter which way the wind blew the currents always eddies and then broke dead north off rochester/sandy area then they would turn east/west middle lake.

raven - exactly my point< 26 days without seeing another boat in sight. !2 to 25 mile run out to waypoints and after the first 5 to 7 miles - no boats around. Averaged 20 to 25 fish on everytime out there except once and that day was 12. Honest fish on - tight lined- rod pumping - releases don't count. Our ratio was 2 to 1 average for every 2 steelhead a king would come to the net. yes i think salmon catch numbers down this summer but i feel a number of factors are involved. bait bait and more bait bad winter more pressure on fish - more people fishing, more knowledge (internet etc.) Screwy inconsisent weather list goes on Here is some food for thought.... Let's say that on any given day there is 50 "cacthable" kings in a 2 square mile area. a pack of 7 boats bungee corded to each other working that same 2 mile area averages out to 6 or 7 catch-able salmon per boat. now spread those same numbers out - 4 miles=100 catchable=12-14 per boat my above point is that way to often pack fishing happens and people get lured into it or an area. Which leads often to less productive numbers.

We fished the Canadian fence line off rochester from mid July thru late august and the kings where out there the whole time mixed in (deeper) than the steelhead. Bait was always present and the water temp didn't fluctuate that much as the inside and mid waters did. Some days 60' down other days 100' but the kings stayed there in same few waypoints the entire time. Most days we never set a line or trolled shallower than 425 feet of water! We burned a lot of fuel but that's where the fish where. Talked with a bunch of boats and always same report.... King here or there, one good day on them then three bad days. Not the case way offshore. Different world. When in doubt or searching go north lol

thanks Brian
