First time we've had our grandsons up north alone. Trying to give them as many experiences as possible. Gardening, boating, baseball, 4 wheeling and of course fishing. I snuck out this morning at 3:00 when they crawled into our bed. They were very interested in the nice walleye I brought home. We also took them to a Hearts For Youth fishing class I'm involved with. We have 22 kids signed up this year and meet weekly fishing off docks and shorelines. I cook a shore dinner for them on the last class which was a big success last year. Many students returned again this year! Today they caught bluegills, pumpkinseeds, perch and a bass. We put all fish in a cooler(live well) and release at the end of the outing.

Trout
Kevin J Legg replied to just me's topic in St. Lawrence River Fishing Reports - 1000 Islands Fishing
Very rare but I caught a brown years ago in 60 fow and know people that have caught lakers and even a few salmon have been caught. I fish in the Alex Bay Area. I've also heard some salmon may move into the Big Salmon River by Malone. Certainly not able to target them but there are some caught incidentally. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
With rain and high winds in the forecast combined with the high water and closed launches on the lake and River the spawning bass may get a break from angling pressure. With the early opener spawning bass should have been vulnerable this year. High water and less pressure due to weather conditions may lead to a good spawn this year as fish will be able to move into shallow spawning areas. Less hope conditions lead to favorable spawning even with the early opener. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Mexico Trip 6-7-19
Kevin J Legg replied to Hachimo's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
We put in at Stony and fished from 60-135 fow and screen was empty. Ran riggers, wire dipsys, and lead cores and nothing. Pulled boat and launched at Mexico with similar results. Marked almost nothing today and saw only 1 small pod of bait in 75 fow. At least we got out but it did get choppy this afternoon. First skunk of the year!

Fished out of Stony this morning. Fished shallow for Browns early and only picked up 2 whitefish. Moved deeper to 50-60 fow and marked bait on bottom. Picked up a king and a laker down around 15-30 off 3 color leadcore and mini dipsy off boards on spoons. Also hit one brown in 35 fow. Only one whitefish off the riggers today. Two fish had 4-5 large alewives in there bellies. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

2 birds were gobbling across the field from me and others roosted in trees so I didn't get to my blind. Eventually had 9 birds in the field and a tom walked 10 feet from my empty blind with two more gobbling in the woods behind him. They eventually moved out with hens so decided to leave them undisturbed for tomorrow morning and move to different blind. On my way to the car I walked right up on four birds and shot one right near my car. I'll be in that blind in the morning! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Walleyes movements in eastern bassin
Kevin J Legg replied to Andre wallyandre's topic in Open Lake Discussion
This is great! Interesting to see how far they can travel. I agree with Prof T, wish they would do similar study on the SLR. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Mixed bag today
Kevin J Legg posted a topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
The Browns were slower today only hit 6 that we had to work for but we made up for it with a laker, 3 walleyes, and a northern. Some alewives and gobies in their stomachs. Spoons and sticks off boards and riggers in 10-15 fow. Found one small area of colored water that produced for us. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Well, I had two Toms sneak in silent and took me by surprise. I guess they didn't like my strutting decoy as they started putting and moving. I must have rushed my shot as they both flew off unscathed. A thorough search found no indication of a hit. Now my wife is one up on me.[emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Saturday morning 8 of us fished Quinte in 4 boats in the morning and caught no walleyes. Many boats out and we only saw one fish netted. Afternoon bite improved somewhat but still only landed 8-10 eyes. What a difference Sunday morning! 8 man limit of 32 fish by noon and most 17-22 inches. Mr Walleye caught one 11.11 which we released. Went from famine to feast overnight. Most were caught in 28-35fow on worm/ spinner bottom bouncing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I've had one of my best springs ever on Browns. Fished Mexico about 5 days and Stony Creek 3 days. Limits most days with some small Atlantics and nice lakers in the mix. Mostly fishing 7-12 fow early and moving out to 15-20 fow later. Mix of sticks and spoons off boards and shallow set riggers. I would say don't be afraid to move if it's not happening. Stay out of cold clear water and move till you find good color and temp. Morning bit is often shallower and slide out if bite slows. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
