    Permethrin is another active ingredient in ultra shield. No thank you Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Ultra shield is NOT approved for use on humans. Contains powerful carcinogens it is also not to be used around any body of water as it is a powerful aquacide deadly to all water critters. Read the warnings on the label and on line. Be careful with that stuff Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Unfortunately the St Lawrence drains Lake O to the Atlantic. Has no effect on temps out west Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    The only product I have found that works on the ankle biters is buggspray. You can buy it online at amazon or eBay. Make sure you order the biting fly formula Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    400 for sure. That gives you extra if you ever ( hope not ) need to reterminate after a break off Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I hear you about the probe. I make sure it's not on bottom long. I just run the weight to the bottom till cable goes slack and get it out of there fast also my counter on the rigger seems to agree with the bottom depth within a couple of feet. It's nice to know exactly what your gear is telling you is correct My snt uses a coated cable which accounts for the difference in cable length to reach depth Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Not sure about fish hawk. I run an old cannon snt. Maybe mine is off I check its depth reading every year by drifting in neutral and running my weight to the bottom and check the reading against my sonar. The temp reading on the probe agrees with surface temp on my sonar. I was concerned about the difference in our readings. I know I need 120 feet of cable out to reach 100 ft with a 16 lb torpedo Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    With 115 foc out on a rigger with s probe. I would think you were fishing well above 105 ft. What kind of angle do you estimate you had on that rigger cable ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    We fished around that area yesterday I am curious about the temp readings. We found cold 40 degree water down 90 over 150 had to fish 75 to 85 to stay in 42 to 47 We saw lots of bait but very few fish Lakers near bottom Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    We were at Stony this AM left the dock at 5 AM it was a tough bite today. I think the super cold day on Tuesday drove them deep. We landed 3 lakers early. But there were far fewer marks than last week. Tons of bait pods with very few marks around them If I had it to do over. I would have gone down to Mexico and gone out deep. We stayed on the water till 3 and threw everything at them. They just weren't there stay with it. The learning curve is steep but you'll catch on. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I noticed that the fleas I was picking up last week were bigger than usual so I would guess that they were the spiny b----'s They stuck like glue and it took several slaps on the water to dislodge them. They also smell very bad and were all over the boat from flying off the line. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    This thread got my interest going. I reached the DEC and got some info on these critters. There are two species in Lake O. The spiny waterflea and the fishhhook waterflea. The spiny is the bigger of the two , reaching over 1/2 inch in length The black spot is their single eye. They can reproduce asexually. Which is a good thing considering how ugly they are. A few in any body of water can become a huge population very quickly and they are here to stay Also , the spiny migrate to deeper , colder water during the day and return to the surface at night to feed. The fishhook stay near the surface always Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The fleas were present up by Stony Point last week .They seem to be bigger this year ,which may account for the ability to hang on to 30 lb test line . I found a picture of the little B----'s Not very pretty are they ?

    I hold the netting material against the shaft of the net with my finger . It keeps the net from spooking the fish and the net from fouling the hooks . I have used this system for years and it works for me . A gaff is great if you plan on keeping the fish , Not so much for catch and release . I have a nice gaff I use for ice fishing . Would like to see the law amended for use while salmon fishing on Lake O .

    First trip for 2017 This is by far the latest I have ever started on Lake O . Finally got out yesterday . Went out of Stoney at 5:30 with a newbie , retired army . Went straight out to 140 fow and set up . My go to cut bait rigs on riggers , FF on dipseys and a spoon down the chute on a 10 color core . First release on cut bait and landed a 10 lb oil can (LT) . Half hour later a 10 lb king was in the boat on meat . Broke one off at the release and had a rip on dipsey . Lots of charters working the finger . The whole Saiff fleet was out there and I believe Moby Dick and Gene Bolton . Didn't see a lot of nets moving on the charters . Stayed in 140 to 160 fow and marked a bunch of bait pods with marks all around them . Found 42 degree water at 90 feet . Riggers set at 75 and 90 Looks like it's going to be a good year .

    The shipping lanes are sometimes very hot. Nice catch. You're right. IF the wind cooperates. That's a long run and a seaworthy boat is a must. Have surfed back from there on some nasty waves Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    When were the fish caught ? Been fishing east end since the late 70's and it's been my experience that the major salmon staging around Henderson doesn't occur till mid August Lake trout ( yuck) are always available if you care to target them Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. chinook35
    You have to fish where the fish are. This time of year it's the west end. They start migrating eastward in late July. Except for the wall in the shipping lanes ( long run) the Henderson area won't see numbers of salmon till mid August Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have used the 7 foot 2 piece bwd ugly sticks for several years. Tried one 7 footer about 10 years ago. Now I own 6. Love the shorter rod. And they handle big kings just fine Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have posted my recipe on this forum before , but here goes . I grill my lake trout on a cedar plank . When the fish turns flakey I remove from the grill and throw the laker away and eat the plank
