    Henderson launch is good and lots of good hooks out by the wall and finger and plenty off bait fished 4 hours tuesday am in 4 footers solo not even a bump off think front shut them down . Did well sunday evening and monday morning out of Oswego on the 140 curve caught fish 130 down due to temp was deep and broken . Screen and temps were way better at henderson but if they have lock jaw its tough to put them in the boat temp break was around 90 feet and very stable . Talked with one old timer told me he couldnt even catch perch !

    Henderson temp break? Heading out to lake o was going to fish henderson just a much cleaner place then Oswego but sounds like temp break has gone deep does anybody have a recent report of temp around the finger area was up at 50 2 weaks ago and caught 6 kings there i dont mind fishing deep but dont want to go out to the shipping lanes to find temp.

    I make a point of never rushing them to the net just keep them swimming a couple feet under the surface when he is ready they will swim right to you to many hooks pull with them thrashing on the surface .

    Sorry note familiar with that area but the end of august and sept kings will be staging so any major river running into the lake should have kings holding at the mouth of the river waiting to go spawn .If you follow this sight you should find some helpfully info if all else fails book a salmon charter in you area to help speed up you learning curve good luck.

    Once you catch your first fish fillet that bad boy and cut your own meat strips from the hide thats what i do and works for me .

    Go out of Oswego and fish just outside the scum line to the east its in the 120 to 200 area find the temp break and fish just under it there is fish there to be caught make sure you start at first light due to early bight . Dont chase the fleet find your own fish you will be better off.

    OSWEGO AND HENDERSON Looking at heading back to the big lake if weather looks good for a 2 day trip whats the fishing been like out of Oswego and henderson areas ? I no that shipping lanes can be good this time off year but looking to try to avoid long runs is the mountain and finger still good or am i better off going out of oswego to hit the deep water there .

    I use braid main line and floro leader and a dipsy or torpedo to take it down set depth with line distance between diver and planer

    Ok i think everybody is over thinking this i run 2 riggers and 2 divers down the chute as well as 2 of the sides. all you need to do is have 1 rod slightly longer then the other and by 2 church tackle stern planers let long center way back and use longer rod and stern planer as a trolling bobber then set 2nd chute rod out a 100 feet closer to boat and use stern planer and place in rod holder. i just place them in rod holders that are built into boat and there is no need to clear them if you are fighting fish off riggers or divers off the sides off the boat . If you need to get them out off the way for a large fish just free spool them way back with clicker on and they stay out of trouble .You will need to clear short center chute rod if long center fires but this system works great and i have taken many nice fish off this system .O fish usa sells them for 20 bucks each i love mine and you can see them in use on you tube . good luck

    great job you are hooked now i no all to well as i still miss fishing for giant tuna .I lived in nh and fished for a few years from there and once we went out of green harbor mass and releized very quickly it was the place to be its full of life there . Try snapper blues off kites and troll fresh machs behind islander lures they work great and they will keep you out of the dog fish .
  25. hard knox
    Sounds like fun sorry to hear the big one got away no that feeling lost a few bluefin tuna in my day it sucks ! Some times your better of to really put the heat on them if there hooked good you will lose less fish then if you fight them for a long time less chance of them spitting the hook .
