Kings, like any cold blooded creature, are temperature oriented. Until the surface temp nears 42 or 43 kings will do very little and be very difficult to catch. Once the water cracks that magical "42" kings will be found chasing bait. Look for the warmest water you can find, with color and bait and you'll find very hungry kings.

Honestly no. But this year wasn't a great year to experiment. From May in Wilson to June-September at the Oak the king fishing was insane. They bit everything!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I ran it last year. For about 3 weeks the fleas were horrendous and the braid was almost unusable. Before and after that period though I was pleased with it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
You can put upwards of 6000 hours on it without much concern. Use good oil and change it regularly. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I just completed this awesome custom reproduction of a Lake Ontario king taken in late August. Fish still has a lot of its summer chrome but it's fading fast to the golds and bronzes of its spawning uniform.
In my opinion this is the most individually unique and colorful time of a salmon's short lifespan.

50# Blood Run or Gamma fluoro. 1/0 ADDYA treble with a 4/0 octopus. Best setup I've found and I've tried about all of them. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
The golden staging kings of September are nice but I am partial to an early August king for the color and body shape.

If that's "not in your budget" what do you think it's going to cost you to learn "the hard way" on your own??? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
If you REALLY want to shorten the learning curve you should consider a "teaching charter" with a reputable captain that is also a good instructor. $600-$700 and your learning curve would be shortened considerably. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
No that's Nick you're thinking of. My source is American. American born, American made. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Nope!!! Not what I'm talking about Jerry. I'm talking about a new supplier of cut and brined bait. Bait that is far superior to anything currently on the market. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
If another meat was made available that was far superior to anything currently out there who would be interested in it? I know there are a lot of "loyalists" out there so I'm wondering who would be willing to make the switch to a superior product. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
