We went out and had tons of marks on the ff but we just couldn't get them to bite. Went 0 for 2 after a couple hours of fishing, then our fishfinder decided to quit....
-
Yea Elmira is a couple hours SOUTH of us, a bit far to go for some tackle. We'll fish with what we have and hope for the best.
-
Thanks for all of the help. Does anyone recommend any south shore launches? We usually launch out of Emerson park at the north end but if there are any southern launches we'll go there.
-
We are new to trolling this year and we are limited on our medium/small spoons, would using magnum sized spoons affect our catch rate?
-
Hoping to go out tomorrow afternoon and fishing into the night. Will we have better luck on Cayuga or Owasco, and what are some depths you recommend fishing in? Really hoping to catch some fish as we haven't been having any luck on lake O. Thanks in advance.
-
Don't mean to hijack, but does anyone think the lowrance chirp is worth the money? Also the elite-7 is more expensive than the elite-5 but is it worth it for 2 inches? Thanks
-
Tomorrow (9/13/14) we're planning on heading out of Oswego and wondering what our best bet is for catching fish. Kings, Cohos, Browns, Lakers, anything. What depths and FOW are working best with what colors. I don't know about "fishing the marks" because we have a sonar unit that doesn't like to work in any significant depths.
Thanks,

Nice. What did you take the rainbows on?

Green and purple flasher flies

I was just out and the lake was very flat. We went out and caught 3 steelies. Decent fishing for us, good luck.
-
looking at the weather right now, don't think its fishable...we're going to Cayuga,
-
about 60 was our best down depth today and we found fish from 65' of water out to about 180 fow.
Thanks very much for the info! We just hope to be at least half as successful as you! Nice fish!
-
well, turns out waves are 4ft already, only going to get worse. Headed to Cayuga instead.
-
We're really looking to catch fish tomorrow and we're thinking about Cayuga because of O's small craft advisory. We are pretty new to trolling and want to know how deep are the fish and how many fow are you fishing? Thanks
-
I'm gonna head up and try it out, I live 1 hour away too. I have a 20 footer cc that is built as an "offshore bay boat", so it handles waves very well. If we have to, we'll sit on our buddy's sailboat and drink coffee until the waves die down.
-
ok got it! we'll keep in touch.
-
Did you get that new boat fixed ?

Nope, that's going to be our winter project. We are fishing out of our 20' proline cc and trying desperately to catch some salmon. We are going to be out on sunday morning.

Did I meet you and your dad in bass pro a week ago ?

wow! yes you did! we had to leave quickly because we were late for something, but you told us about using the flashers and flies. thanks, by the way.
-
Thanks for the spoons! Seller replied quickly and sent it out within the hour of payment!
-
How much for the spoons? I have no idea how much they are worth and I don't want to insult you.
-
Don't feel bad....there are SO MANY details involved in successful trolling for lake Ontario salmon...I'm sure you are only a few thousand $'s in equipment and a few hundred hours of experience away from catching them consistently...
If it makes you feel any better, those guys you hear on the radio catching them, if they were on your boat working with what you have..they would be lucky to catch one as well.
About all the advice I can give you for today is, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. What you are doing is not working...change speed, direction, lures, depth, set back, etc etc etc.....change things until something works, and take note of what detail made the difference.
Thanks, we'll get it soon
Geckoguy, any better luck this evening?
Actually, we headed over to owasco lake a caught a nice 24" lake trout!
-
I have a 20' proline center console for sale. It is a great boat and handles Lake Ontario like a dream. Very solid boat. Includes lowrance elite 5-dsi fish finder/gps, 2 cannon uni-troll downriggers, and a 1989 Evinrude 120 hp engine that runs great with new lower unit 40 hours on it. Also comes with a trailer. Asking just $4250
-
We're out here fishing near all the other boats an listening to others catching on the radio while we are out here catching absolutely nothing, don't know what we're doing wrong
-
Thanks, I've gathered info from the fishing reports section and we hope to catch some today
-
Thanks, I assume 80-250 is depth, but how far down should my downriggers be?
Looking for 17-19 ft fishing boat
