Even if you have running lights on and you strike another boat or a shore fisherman, you have to answer for the incident. That is why spotlights help you know what is going on. After seeing other boats without lights you are guilty since you know the existing situation. Law enforcement is lacking at the night fishing zones so you have to be prepared. It is illegal to shine a spotlight on a boat at night blinding the operator. There is no safe way to operate at these harbors except to be able to stop in half the visibility distance.

Lake Ontario Walleyes are under fished due to health concerns and the availability of trout and salmon. If it is your desire to catch huge Walleyes then you have the best opportunity here except for the Columbia River out west. The most active areas for large Walleyes are the bay of quinte an the Niagara bar. Do not be concerned by over harvest numbers just try for the 34 incher that is waiting for you. Lake Erie does not compare with size any more. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The downriggers are best set up not too far to the transom but more forward where attaching lines are safer and more simpler. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Chart plotters are wonderful in the fog and haze. The problem becomes over reliance and speeding to crash into other boats. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

A good tip when traveling out there is to have a good compass and check for a return route. It gets hazy out there and the shoreline disappears and you can end up in Ohio. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Labor Day weekend resulted in many boats boxing out on Walleyes. The hot spot off Point Breeze was seven miles out NW in the steam boat lanes of 78 to 68 feet of water. The fish are holding tight to the bottom where riggers and worm harnesses. Popping the harness free and letting it rise turned many Walleyes on.

Inboard outboard motors are history now. All new boats are outboards except Volvo or diesels. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
