Out this morning. Temp was down at 90 feet. Went 3 for 6. 3 small teenagers. Lost 3 majors. Dipsys were hot. Out 320 on a number 2 setting. Definetly more Marks on the sonar this morning than I have seen all week. Current is nasty. East troll is best. When going west I was doing 3.3 on the surface to maintain 2 at the ball. Charter boats out of Oz crushed them this morning. Salmon fishing is definetly getting better and better by the day. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Rumor has it this west blow we have had the last 3 days has pushed the mother load in. I will be out early tomorrow in the morning and will update. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks glass water outdoors. I must also say my wife loves to fish also so I am a very lucky man!! Our whole family fishing together is priceless 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

We started this morning and temp was down 70. West wind started blowing 10 to 15 mph and the temp came up to 40'. The winds seem to be working the opposite way their supposed to this year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Temp came up higher as the morning wore on. Temp was at 40' when we pulled up at 12:30. We couldn't keep the skippys off in 100' of water. Very frustrating conditions. Lost two majors at first light then the cold water blew in and all bait and targets disappeared. 7 hours of washing lures. Did not see any other boats move a net. I've been coming up here the last 12 years at the same time. Toughest conditions by far that I have faced. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Cold water has blown back in. Temp is now at 50'. 2 for 5 this morning. Nothing big Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Bout time are you fishing east or west of the chute?? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Unfortunately we trolled for 6 hours yesterday afternoon till late night and took a big skunk. All the fish and bait were gone that we marked. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Fish are here but you have to work for them. I have caught kings mostly 150 and deeper. Not a lot of targets on the sonar. Temp is at 60 feet with most of our kings coming from 65 to 80'. Riggers have been hit with spoons. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

150 looked the best on my sonar as well. If the bait is there so are the fish. I will be working that depth the next few days. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Fished Fairhaven this evening. 4pm till 8:30. 2 for 3. 2 small teenage kings and lost 1 major at the boat. All 3 were hooked up in 200 feet of water. Temp was at 65'. Screen was pretty void of bait and targets. 2 teen kings on glow spoons and the major was on a dipsy out 275'. Hopefully will get better. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

BAITNH, you can message me on here and Ill give you reports. Im up the 11th until the 27th Lots of west wind coming up plus warm temps should start to set up the water column this week. The kings are there, we just need a thermocline.

Yes we are staying at the same place. I'm arriving on July 11th. I hope it sets up. Looks like lots of west wind coming up this week so hopefully it will start! I don't mind Brown trout fishing but I would much rather be chasing kings!!

its hard to believe that at the end of June your fishing in 15 feet of water. Strange conditions this year. Ill be up next week for 3 weeks out of Fairhaven. Guess I'll break out the Brown trout equipment again.

Any signs of a thermocline setting up yet at all Mr clean??

I have a 19.5' Islander with a 9.9 Merc kicker. Unless your running ethanol free fuel in your main tank, get a small 3 gallon plastic tank and use the ethenal free fuel for your kicker. I had to have my carburetor re built 3 times from running it off of my main tank. I even loaded my big tank with the ethanol treatment additives and it did nothing. As soon as I switched to ethanol free fuel I had no more problems. 3 years now and no more carburetor problems. My kicker runs like a charm.

Well I don't try to make wild turns. Just the usual slow turns. After last fall I have decided to only run copper off my boards.

Missdemeanor, I have tried to run my 500 copper down the chute many times. But for some reason I keep tangling with my dipsies. I run a dipsy on each side. Usually a number 2 setting. Any ideas how to avoid a tangle??

Best for me was White green dot spinny with either Atommik ultra green glow, Hammer live lime, or big fin crinkle glow.
