    Back on the tackle talk above... Probably have caught 80 percent of our salmon on two flies... Original Hammer fly on any green PT or SD, and the white Halo, on a white and chrome SD. No matter how many other green, white, or other color combos we've tried (spoons included) , nothing matched those two for us. So weird... L.J.

    Also... Thank you to everyone here over the years. While I've never meet any of you in person, you've made us feel like part of the Lake O family, and given a lot of great advice and lots of great stories to get the blood pumping before our trips each year. Special thanks when our boat troubles limited us to one afternoon in 2019. It was amazing how many people here reached out to us to offer assistance getting on the water. Good luck, much love, and tight lines to all! L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Well, for the first time in 16 years, we didn't even lose a fish, nevermind catch one. Fish or not, I got to spend the week with my Dad, which doesn't happen often with him in Plattsburgh, and us down in North Carolina. 83 this past July, it was a tough week on him physically, and likely his last trip here. It kills me we couldn't get him one more, but Lake O has given us a lot of great adventures, mishaps, crazy fish stories and yes... and some amazing days catching fish. He can drive me crazy at times, but I love him, and thank him for taking me fishing when I was probably too young to even be on a boat and instilling in me a lifetime love of fishing! Thanks Dad...

    Well, Round 4 we switched up to Mexico. Set up in 50 FOW, out in 125 FOW now. Read fish occasionally, but still nothing... L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Round 3...here we go. Running a 4 spoon set, 45 to 70 speared, over 85-95 FOW. Pockets of the same great screens as last night. L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Well, ended up zip. Beautiful afternoon/night, but zero hookups. I can say there were two spots we marked a ton of fish. 120 FOW - glued to the bottom, but there. As we headed into the front gate, from 95 FOW to 84 FOW, you could have walked on fish, feeding on bait pods, from 40-85 FOW. I mean absolutely stacked. Crazy good. It was just too late for us to work the area. L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Ok... Well, after 3 tries to launch but finding water coming over the breakwater, and a smoking left front brake pad on the truck that took a couple hours to fix... a d a motor that quit at the dock after firing.... to find a loose battery cable... and our overhead rod rack tearing partially out.... AND my 83 year old father falling down in the boat trying to fix said rack... We are finlaay set up 6 wide (4 riggers, 2 dipseys) in 106 FOW... Nothing yet.... L.J.

    No, fished 3 hours. Got bigger as we went. No releases, and my wife got terribly sick for the first time. So, not a great start, but days to go still. Off tomorrow with the big blow forecasted. Tuesday looks great, and the rest of the week fish able. We'll see what happens! L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    HEY all Finally on the water for 2021s big adventure, lines wet, 70-90 FOW just NW of the gate. Nothing yet, a few fish scattered 40-70 on the screen. L.J. Sent from my SM-N986U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Well, considering how terrible our luck (boat issues and fishing) - 1 king two years ago, 1 brownie last year, I figure it CAN'T be much worse - unless we go zero for 7 days. Maybe we'll bring our bad luck to town and flip the script, and all will fill their boats with Kings! That's one of points of fishing, right... dream the impossible dream... I'll try to post our days, good or bad. Maybe together we can find the secret spot in 27 trillion gallons of water! L.J.

    Hey everyone, Getting ready to head north for our annual pilgrimage to the Kings! Being based out of Henderson Harbor and mostly exclusively going out of Port Ontario and Mexico the last decade, that's where we've always gotten our fish cleaned, block ice and any tackle (because, well, you've never got enough, right?). My Dad finally sold his camper, and the place we're staying for the week is near Oswego. So, since we plan on going out of Wright's all week, three quick questions: Is anyone cleaning fish at Wright's Landing, and if not, are the usual spots open in Port Ontario? Any places that sell block ice as well as cubed in Oswego? Maybe every place does, but figured I ask! Best tackle shop(s)? We've always gone to Woody's or Fat Nancy's, which aren't far, but more time on land is less on the water! Any info is much appreciated! L.J.
