Hit the water for a chilly 1-1/2hr with my girlfriend. 7:45-9:15an Shes very new to fishing! Only her second time on Lake Ontario! Water was 40-42° we worked 12-20 fow. We had a double in front of the pump house in 16 fow. One on a planer board with a blk and silver rapala and when we were bringing that one in we got another on a downrigger down 7 back 50 with a Michigan stinger scorpion spoon. DOUBLE!!! We got one more heading back to the mouth in 14 fow on a 0 dipsy our 20’ with a orange stringer spoon. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

After Mother’s Day dinner dad and I headed out for a quick evening run. Set up In 20’ and got a good sized brown to the boat but then lost it, on a dipsy out 20. Then we got nothing for a while. Trolled north to 70’ and then angles back to the mouth and caught 14lb king on a smaller dispy out 100. In 60 fow. Then a few minutes later got our first FF king of the season on a wire regular dipsy on a 0 setting out 80 in the prop wash. Great way to end a great day!! Thanks mom for being amazing!!

Trolled west out of the mouth at 6am but six running spoon and 4” rapala. Caught 2 browns in the i line planer with blk and gold rapala and lost one more big fish on the same set up. Then boated my biggest brown to date! 13-4! He came on a dipsy down 12 feet with a silver uv stinger. After 7am didn’t move a rod. Tried everything, bumped out farther then back in changed the presentation and quit around 9. But a great (but chilly) morning on the water for sure! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

4/28 oak orchard
Benfolkhero posted a topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Started before the sun was up today and fished west til 9 in 35’-70’ out best depth was 45-55. Went 9-10 with 2 nice Kings and the one we lost was a king on a good run. All spoon bites. 1 on a rigger down 30 and another on a 0 dipsy out 100’ (I live dipsy strikes!) the rest were all lakers. A couple big ones we pulled off the bottoms the others were 5lbers all over the water column. Gotta love any day on the water!! (We realized Wednesday forgot to put on the life jackets after this pic and then quickly put them on. Whoops just too excited to fish lol) Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Finally got a flat lake!! Started out at 35’ and got a 15lb king on an black and silver rapala 110’ back on a inline planer and we lost a fish On the same set up a few minutes later. Then got another 15lb king on a rigger (first day with my new magnum metalz riggers!!) down 30’ in 40 fow on a wonderbread stinger. The we got 2 lakers in a row on a dipsy our 120’ in 60 fow on a dw “three days at sea” We cover back in and got of brown in 40 on the same dipsy And we ended the day bringing up the riggers and there was a laker on each so I’m not sure why they didn’t release or how far we dragged them lol. So we went 7-8 on the Morning so nice to get out! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Oak orchard 4/8

Hey maybe this is a simple question but I can’t find the answer anyplace so I figure ask the pros!! so I was fishing with my father and my son. And we were taking about the “rod limits” we usually fish 6 rods 2 riggers 2 divers and 2 inline planers. I bought my son his first trolling rod (7’ ugly stik big water and Okuma cold water 203) and he likes to run whatever catches his eye right up the gut. Does he get his own “3” rods? So we could fish 9 rods If he’s fishing with us? Or because he’s a kid are we bending the rules have too many rods in the water? Idk if there is an age where they start counting. Thanks for any help!

We had a nice quick morning... I have been trying to catch coho salmon cause they are the best to eat but I’m struggling! I’m like a 99% catch and release guy but I would keep cohos! Caught this nice brown on my dodger fly coho rig lol. Does anybody have any tips to get the browns to stop hitting my coho rigs lol my son says “dad were catching fish who cares” [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
