H.I.H.
West of there,Bronte & Port Credit is really heating up(larger avg sized Kings than the Niagara area currently).
Know of a couple 26's taken the last couple days,mainly a spoon bite.
Us canucks are taking Kings out over 180-250 fow(west of the Bar),with the bigger Kings(20-22 lb avg) coming 100-120 ft down.
No specific pattern,one day it's a spoon bite,the next a fly bite.
Mix it up each day until you figure them out.
H.I.H.
Same regs apply to the Cdn side,2 rods per angler in the boat.
So you can use 6 rods.
Here's a map with a basic idea on where to fish(anywhere from Fort Mississauga to Hamilton).
You'll see the boats......................
Just the odd King(12-16 lb range) skooting around on the Cdn side currently.
A far cry from this time last yr.
It might be a very tough bite for the Scotty tourney this coming weekend.
Adding a extention to the net handle helps greatly with those 8,10 or 12 ft leaders off the diver.
I'd rather put up with the netting issue with a long leader than looking at the diver rods,wondering why they wont go....................
I notice not many guys use net clips to hold the bag out of the way while netting fish off the transom??
XR10 X Raps(the hot colors) were very consistent off the cores last April/May in the SW basin.
Change those stock wimpy hooks to #4 Owner ST 41's(same with Bomber longA 15's).
Excellent sticks,but they only last 2-3 Kings,then their punctured or totally destroyed.
