I will be out there probably Saturday.. I also plan on going to the shipping lanes.. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

SW winds should blow all the warm water our way right? Which will be good for Salmon fishing? Maybe it will push them in our area again? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I launched yesterday evening and your right it was not bad at all. I just wore flip flops!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don't like reporting when I don't catch anything but seeing the lack of reports I feel I should.. I didn't expect to do great because it was an evening troll but I was hopeful with the light winds and calm lake that we would catch something.. I am usually an early morning fisherman but I managed to get out of work early so I gave it a try. I am going to try again on Sunday morning and I am going to try the shipping lanes. Maybe get some Lakers out there.. at this point I just want to put fish in the boat.. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Went out on a evening troll... launching the boat was not as difficult as I imagined with the high water.. I just wore a pair of flip flops to get thru the sinking part of the dock. Both front and rear wheels of the truck were in the water but not submerged.. launching the boat was actually very easy.. just be very careful walking across de the sunken part of the dock. It was very slippery especially with a flip flops. Started out in sallow water 6-10 FOW near Stoney point light house.. We Actually saw fish so we thought it was going to produce for us. We trolled the sallow water for a while heading south with spoons on the down riggers and smithwick sticks on the planner boards. Never moved a rod.... trolled in 20 FOW for a while also with no results.. Headed out to in and out of 30-60 FOW and had stuff on the screen but could not get a rod to fire.. it's got to get better!! This was my second time out this season and we got nothing both times!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wish I could of went with you guys Jim!! (Dam Staff Duty) I am thinking about doing a evening trip out of Henderson if I can convince my daughter to go with me... please share the reports!! I need all the help I can get!! It's getting hard to convince my daughter to go with me when we don't catch anything... lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I am usually an early morning fisherman but we decided to go in the afternoon. I thought it wouldn't matter that much in spring.. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yeah.. We even went out to 125FOW and dragged cowbells in search of Lakers... I just couldn't get it done yesterday!! We had to except defeat and leave empty-handed... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

We didn't move a rod at all... we went out around 1:00pm Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Hauled the boat down to Oswego from Fort Drum( it's the only boat launch you don't need waders to get the boat in) We launched in the afternoon and got a tip that there were Salmon and Browns in 80-120 FOW so we started there... didn't move a rod.. tried the skinny water 15-30 FOW... didn't move a rod.. Water temperature was 46°F on the Surface. The only warm water was the water coming from the river 55°F but it was very stained water and we just couldn't seem to find the line between stained and clear water.. mother nature did not cooperate. it rained on us for a little while but was mostly cloudy throughout the day.. not what I hoped for to start off the season but we will be back.. it can only get better Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I hope your right.. I am planning on doing the same thing except we will be launching out of Oswego. We are making the Trip from Fort Drum so I hope it's worth it!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nice... how much FOW? thanks for the report! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I was catching Lakers out in front of Calf Island in 130-150 FOW in Summer but again that was summer.. I wasn't using Cow Bells. I was using spoons. I don't have a probe so I spread things out in the water column.. One day I caught lakers, a steelhead and a king.. This time Last year I was catching laters in the trench but none so far this year.. Seems like the water temperature keeps changing too much in the trench... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
