Well that was very entertaining! Now cant we just buy each other a coke and sing... "id like to teach the world to fish, in perfect harmony.....id like to buy the world a coke and keep it company......" (or there abouts)

regardless of your fish decent salmon coming at 10yrs old, 20...30....or 60yrs old.......... there is nothing like watching that joy and excitement in someones eyes the first time that fish tears line and when something that large hits the back of the boat! GREAT JOB PIKE FREAK and WAY TO GO JLOGGER! And like Panfish said, Hell...fishin is just fun!

John, great report! and as Nick asked, how the heck tight are your divers to stop them from popping open at 4-8mph???? either it has to be letting a little drag out all the time to avoid popping or you better be able to pop it when a fish hits, cause that is tight! OMG......... I have this adversion to running over 3mph, but maybe I need to bump my speed!

Awesome. The browns this year have been amazing and life savers for those not catching silver fish at the moment!

Awesome.... What a way to end the day..indeed! Must have been talked on, after someone called you! Lol. I will keep this in mind tomorrow. Man it has become a dead zone for kings, but we will survive! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished early yesterday morning out of Sodus and using a Hughes report that fish were over a 220'fow I figured I would set up in 150' and head north. Set out a 3 color leadcore with wonderbread, a 10 color with fire frog, deep rigger with pro troll and green fly set 90' to start, mid rigger at 60' with dirty white boy and watermelon cheater, high rigger 40' with mixed veggie and Steelie stomper cheater, and of course my favorite mag diver with white pearl glow SD and blue hammer fly, set back 240' on a #2 setting. Didn't take long (6am) when we hit 200fow and the mag diver takes a rip and we boat the first really nice Salmon of the year at 19lbs! Game on Sodus!!! About 40 minutes later, same mag diver takes a 14lb king and then the diver is silent the rest of the day. Next 4 fish are all steelies, two taken on the 10 color, one taken on the 60 rigger, but the big one.... The 9lber took the wonderbread on the 3 color and put on one great aerial display, jumping close to 10 times before being netted and returned to fight another day. All these fish were taken around the 215-230fow range, as you could see the temp break and partial scum line. Surface temp was about 49.5, with 48 degree water inside and colder water outside. I never went past 240, and found the west troll caught more fish. We got into one nice 11lb king on the 10 color around 9:30am and doubled up with a small Steelie on the 3 color while my buddy was reeling it in. I changed out lures on all the riggers and played with depths, but except for a couple swings and a miss, and the one small Steelie, they were quiet. We needed to start clearing lines around 11am, and so I cleared all the riggers and mag diver, leaving the leadcores for last, since they had produced the best. It was a good call. Just before clearing them, the 10 color takes a small hit and I could tell it wasn't much, but was letting my buddy (newbie) reel it in....after all it's 10 color, so let him have it... Hahahaha... About a minute in, the 3 color takes a better rip and I tell him to give me the little fish and have fun with the bigger fish. Mine was a small skippie king. His gave him a very good fight and I was having a hard time guessing what it was, as it was staying down. Finally got a glimpse about 25' behind the boat, just before it made another couple runs. It was a feisty laker... 11lbs as it turned out. We finished 10-11 on a picture perfect day. All fish between 205 and 230 fow. Little current, but not bad. Not a ton of bait pods, but definitely fish in the area! Great to see the silvers have moved in!!! ~Jason ~ Jason Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

awesome. What depths were you fishing? 80-120 fow or deeper? afternoon bite has not been as good as what I keep hearing about in the morning, but I will be out Sunday around 5am, so I want to set up in the areas you and Wayne have been working. I have a couple of newbies I want to show a good time for!

nice!!

Nice report. I have been meaning to post mine, although nothing to write home about. We fished 4pm-7:30pm on Sunday and went 2 for 2...both coho's on a slide diver set back 200' with a wonderbread stinger. One coho was close to 9lbs and put on a great aerial display. Worked 60fow-140fow...best was around 80-90, although the one coho came in 110'. Being both fish came on the high line, wish I had thrown more flatlines or had my 3 color with me, but that's another story. Had riggers parked from 25 to 75 foot down all afternoon, with free sliders on them and a 10-color off a church board, with only 2 swings and a miss on the riggers. Morning bite seems to be 5x hotter than the evening bite! Nice job!

Wow......I wonder where that dock came from? Glad you didn't hit it. There was a lot of debris Monday as well, did manage to hook up a twig once, but it wasn't a keeper! I wanted to go out yesterday afternoon, but had a baseball game to catch at 5:45. I wonder if you went a little further out.....like 90-100 fow if there would have been more marks???? Jason

Nice talking to you as well. I agree with that alewife run, the near shore browns are probably gorged! However I was hoping off shore bite would be better!

Well it was too nice of a day to not fish the afternoon, so after convincing a couple co-workers to play hooky with me, we hit the lake at 1:30 and I set up in 20fow and started a NW troll while setting up 4 flat lines (2 spoons one side, 2 stickbaits other side) and setting up 2 riggers to start. I didn't even have 4 poles in the water and the starboard rigger pulling a dirty white boy spoon, set back 75 feet, down 14feet over 25fow takes a nice 9 lb laker. So I figured we were going to be fine trolling that 25fow that a lot of people were talking about. Temp on surface was 50degrees and water was very stained, and temp down 15-20foot was 47-48ish. I trolled out to 35fow infront of Ginna, turned around came back into 20fow and trolled east past Bear Creek, no rods moved. Turned back towards Ginna and decided to troll inside to as shallow as 8 fow and besides hooking into bottom and losing a spoon, we didn't move a rod!!!!!! So I decided to point north and troll out to deeper water. I set up the 3rd rigger, threw out a 10 color down the chute and when we got to 85 foot of water, the screen got VERY good. We had marks from 40foot to bottom. We had hooks coming in from as shallow as 20foot to fish looking at each of the riggers parked at 40', 50', and 60foot. I pulled the two inside flat lines, and instead threw out 2 divers, one mag diver with a pearl glow spiny and A-Tom-Mik blue hammer fly and the other a standard dipsy with a green glow crush spiny and blue ice fly. I worked out to 105foot, but not much activity past 100', so I turned around and when we got inside of 90' it was lit up again on the screen. I zig-zagged between 80 and 90 fow both east and west, until we had to pull lines and get back at 5:30, as one of the guys needed to be home at 6. I tried Wonderbread, UV watermelon, Greenfrog, firefrog, steelie stomper, dirty white boy, yellow NBK, Kevorkian, Blue Tuxedo, UV mixed veggie and 42 second spoon, and COULD NOT GET THE LOCKJAW out of the fish. They came, they looked and they swam away! Was glad to not have been skunked, I know fishing at times has still be slow and a lot of fish are still west of Bear Creek, but the screen was getting me upset! Oh well, maybe later today or tomorrow we will try again. Jason

Kyle, like Tim said....one laker is better than ZERO fish and best part was you got the boat in the water and everything (including the new autopilot) ran well! That is ALWAYS a good start! Talk to you soon Jason
