So, Ive been wanting to try Lake Ontario for kings the last couple of years, but other obligations kinda killed those plans. So this year I am going to plan a trip early enough that I have to go! Right now I am thinking Id like to take a trip sometime in May, and maybe another one in August, I will probably be launching out of olcott. Will I have to make long runs to find fish this time of year, or will they be fairly close? I have dipsey rods, and downrigger rods that should hold up, but I am a little lost when it comes to running planer boards. Most of my trolling is done in erie, so I am use to running weighted plugs or jets off of planer boards. I hear a lot of people talk about leadcores and copper for salmon. Is it a must to have leadcore or copper rigs in may? Or will riggers and dispey be enough?
Thanks
