Had some fun yesterday with my nephew Dominick and his cousin Mikey fishing the big pond for salmon. We had 13 strikes for the morning, but had a case of the dropsy issue going on. Only netted 4 fish, with 2 being undersized steelhead, and one nice one with a 20 lb king. The highlight of the day was at the end of the time, when a double took the stage, and then a third rod went, and then a fourth rod went, and only the big king came back to the net. In the end we had only 2 of the rods of the 6 we started with left in the water. I field tested a new prototype 11 inch dodger attractor by Trinidad Tackle for my friend Stan Kulak, who graciously chose me to try in the lake for the kings. Although we couldn't bring a fish to the camera with it attached to its mouth, we did have two very good kings strike the twinkie meat rig being towed by the dodger. Both unfortunately pulled the hook and still swim. The king spun about 300 feet of backing off the reel on a 400 foot copper wire rig and came unbuttoned. The other was taken on a 42 second spoon off the downrigger and that one went to the fish box! Sent from my SM-N900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Not horrible. Easier to flick off in the water, but I'm using 50lb. Mono splice in the rigger rods. I shelved the wire dives for long coppers also. Sent from my SM-N900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We limited out today on king salmon! A double was the highlight. No biggies, but nice fish all 15 to 16lb. One screamer got away that was likely the biggest fish, but after peeling line for about 400 feet it came unbuttoned. 10 hits and 7 fish to the boat, one was returned, a small steelhead. Great day on the water offshore at the 27.5 to 28 line. Everything took fish flasher flies, twinkie meat, Moonshine geezer, and seasick waddler spoons. Down riggers, out riggers, long copper 400, 500, no divers were out though. Started at 70 down for 46 degrees,, then later moved to 85 down. Riggers at 50, 80 and 90 all took fish.

Nice update Les! Love the show and watch every episode with Cher. Marciano is our favorite captain, she thinks of Cararo as "Dick Dasterdly" LOL! also she hasn't got much like for Greg Mayer on the Frenzy. I have my picture standing at the stern of the Frenzy in the Oregon Fleet marina from October 2015.

Thanks Les! Yeah not often enough for both of us! Love my best fishin bud! Sent from my SM-N900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My son Chris and I had a great day out of Point Breeze. We had 4 kings and a Coho in the box at the end and returned a few juveniles. A few hits nobody home also. Stan Kulak's 9 inch Trinidad Tackle dodger out fished the flasher and spin doctor once again! The coho hit the green dodger and Atomik fly combo, and a small king hit the black dodger and bug eye fly combo on a 300 copper. The spiny and flasher flies were silent on the wire divers all day. Most fish came on moonshine mag spoons however, and the largest being 14 lbs. A box of 5, and 3 returned, and a double with kings was the highlight!

Steve and I had a beautiful day out of Point Breeze, Lake Ontario today. We ran only 5 rods, 2 rigger spoons, two wire divers, and the center rigger deeper with Trinidad Tackle 9 inch dodger that Stan Kulak sent me for my experiences with the new attractor. I ran an Atomik tournament fly matching the color of the dodger at 70 down and 2.5 to 2.8 mph. It ran beautifully with the fly and a 20 inch leader. A very slight bend in the wide end gave the dodger a wide swing that had the fly moving very enticing. Once putting it down to hit 70 feet, it flew off the release at 62 feet and I thought it was a false release with the scotty pinch pad. Not after I picked the rod up and it started yanking and screaming away from us!...weighed in at 17.75 lb! 2 more swing and misses with the dodger, but then Steve also landed a king on the Trinidad Tackle dodger and fly! We boxed a total of 5 fish, one was a nice steelhead on a Moonshine Seasick waddler mag spoon, also had a lake trout released on the same, and 2 small salmon released, along with 2 that pulled the hook, and a few hits nobody home. Some great fishing for about a five hour tour! Most fish came from 150 to 180 fow, some from 250 to 275 also. Riggers parked at 30, 50 and 70, wire out 125 and 150.. 2.5 diver set with flashers and flies, but were least productive today. Get you some of those 9 inch dodgers from Trinidad Tackle and you won't be disappointed! They are going in the lake everytime now for me! Sent from my SM-N900P using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Excuse me...if you are the skipper of your boat, and you are getting within 100 feet of another boat running anythjng, then you might be the one who needs to allow more room to the side. Obviously if they are running long lines then you need to stay clear of the rear by 2 football fields. Keep your eyes open and you shouldn't be running over someone's boards and tow lines. It's quite possible your dipsy presentation set on 2.5 is wider than the boards being run by someone else, but if you can't see them like a board, then I guess it doesn't matter.

Les, brontosaurus?...you should have been born a T rex. Eat the weak inconsiderate finger flyers! Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy horsepower.... I've never seen a sad person in a boat haulin' A$$...!

When it looks like that big, maybe it would go on a hook as bait!..hate em! Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy horsepower.... I've never seen a sad person in a boat haulin' A$$...!
