I fished sat in the selkirk/salmon river area with no luck. Sunday we got one small male king(12 lbs) for our efforts but it was a beautiful day to be on the lake. Fished again monday and got one real nice male king (25 lbs). We marked a few fish on sat, less on sun, and almost none on monday. We tried depths of 30 - 70ft. Also ran out to 120 once just looking but nothing out there that looked like salmon. We didn't fish real hard around 5 hrs. each day and in the middle of the day due to travel. I think it's over for this year, I'm done till 2010. Had a good time good luck to all.

Sounds to me like you should lighten up a little on your drags. Just a suggestion but I never have any problems with bent hooks. I only fish two rods though and stop when I hook up. This does two things, makes for no tangles even on tight turns and greatly increases the landed per hooked ratio. To each his own. Good luck fishing.

Is there any cut bait available this year in the Mexico or Port Ontario area? Thanks ahead for the info.

I haven't been up to the big lake in a couple of years. We usually make the annual trip around labor day or shortly after. I don't see any post on using cut bait or "meat" as it was called. I called a sport shop last week and they said because of the bait ban, the old standby in the blue box wasn't available but they had some kind of perch cut bait. Has anybody had any experience with this or is it a waste of money. I'm coming up for a few days next week and would appreciate any input. Thanks. :roll:
