Hit the same area as yesterday and started off absolutely terrible... Went 0 for 5 to start and then I broke the ice and brought in the 6th hook up to show the guys how it's done. Laker. Brother got another laker shortly after and we finished with another nice King! 3 for 9 today and back in for lunch. Storms coming this afternoon through tomorrow so should mix things up again... Challenge accepted Lake O!

My youngest brother, Darryl, is out visiting from Colorado this week so I wanted to show him how we do things out here. Mission Accomplished! My Dad, two brothers and I finished with a Grand Slam after 6+ hours of trolling in Thick Fog! Went 21 for 27 and boated Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and yes... Early Spring Kings on the East End!! Boated 3 of them and lost 3 others all on Light Tackle 12lb test. What a great day to introduce him to Lake Ontario! Kept 5 Lakers, a Brown, a Steelhead, and 3 Kings. You know it's a great day when it's hard to bring in your big boards due to too many releases in the water!! Haha Me and my little dude, Hunter, with today's catch.

Took a quick trip out today with a young man who just turned 8 from camp who has been dying to go out with me... His parents let him come and boy was he excited. Just look at that smile!! He's hooked now. Beautiful day and tried hard to get him his first Walleye ever but went 0 for 3 on eyes and of course landed both Pike that were on the line. He just could not keep the rod tip up toward the end of the fight and was so anxious to SEE the fish and when that rod tip dropped it's automatic almost every time... Fish Gone. The one was a few feet from the net and I was about to make the reach for it and I caught a glimpse of the rod tip fly by my leg downward and before I could help him raise it the fish got off. Was a good 8+lber too. It hurt me more than it hurt him... I can't stand losing eyes but he would just shrug his shoulders, look at me, and say "we'll get the next one, don't worry". What a day for patience practice for me... Haha! Great time with the little dude he had a blast!

Losing hookups on big board releases
FleetTracker replied to MadPerry's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Agreed. All my short cores are Saltists and long cores and coppers are Seagates. World of difference. -

Losing hookups on big board releases
FleetTracker replied to MadPerry's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Bingo! Always sink the line deep in the release on your cores. Cores also inherently lose more fish because you may think you have fish tension but what you're feeling is the weight of the core itself. When reeling in cores you need to be a bit more aggressive then you typically would. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Where are you fishing? Mexico? Get ahold of me a couple days before your trip Señor. Will let you know what's going on based on recent trips to put your colleagues on fish. I'm up 15-25th this month so will be out a lot. Lakers are in the top 30' of water column way off bottom right now. Not sure it'll be the same story in 2 weeks but I'll let ya know.

Absolute Laker shellacking today. Me and my Buddy Bill (dertracker) pushed off the dock with my little boat at 5:30AM and decided we had enough with the Walleye and time to try something different. 3,4,5,6 color cores off big boards and riggers at 15' and 25' all day over 60-90fow. Went 23 for 28 on some huge Lake Trout and caught one confused Smallmouth. All spoons. Absolutely beautiful day for fishing and a fire drill on the boat with two dudes. Doubled 4x and tripled once. One of those days you'll remember for quite a while... Time to ice our reeling shoulders. Back at it tomorrow.
