Thinking of going up to Oswego or Rochester or one of the piers this weekend for my birthday to see about some salmon. Has anyone seen any Kings near the piers or mouths of rivers yet?
According to NY state guidelines you may not travel to New York for a vacation from the states on the travel advisory list. You may say “oh it’s just vacation we’ll get takeout and won’t see anybody” NO the 14 day quarantine is mandatory and restricted to no outdoor and public areas, you must have a residence to stay in and register it with the state. Please understand that this is for everyone’s safety. Don’t be selfish, even if you don’t feel sick you could still be an asymptomatic carrier and spread the virus when you get here.

Hot Jigging bite this morning north of Long Point. Lakers of all sizes, a 24” brown, and a 22” male landlocked made it to the boat. Jigging plastic paddle tails did it in 65-75 fow. Best color plastic today was a pink/blue but all colors got bites. The landlocked has no fin clips, could it be wild? Couldn’t release him after the fight/hookset so I’m hoping it was a stockie Picture below of the salmon headed for the grill
Wow 21 fish landed sounds like you guys had a blast! Thanks for the report, I guess it pays to be on the water early. Could have been a sturgeon I’ve heard of them caught while laker jigging, could have been a massive laker too
I found Jigging on the east side south of long point Monday and today afternoon/evening, marked lots of Lakers in 50-80 feet along the drop off there (I don’t know how action is on the flats near aurora), the ones I found most active and moving and biting for the jigs were about 65 feet near the bottom. Monday they preferred a smaller 4” swim bait in pink or chartreuse/blue, today they liked the white 5.5”
Haven’t heard about this tourney but I’m planning to be out fishing this weekend, so how do I sign up or find info about it? Just googled can’t find anything. Thanks
Wow beautiful rainbow! Great job on the release. I’m curious what the rainbow was caught on and how deep water it was in? I’ve been experimenting trying to target silvers casting/jigging because not setup for trolling, thanks
Tuesday long point 6:30-9pm found an area of active salmon near long point hooked into three landed one 20” they were jumping furiously and shook the hooks biggest one we lost when he jumped right at the boat rail was probably 26”. 3 lakers and a pickerel, one of the lakers was 33” long and didn’t weigh him but was very fat and felt like 15 pounds. All fish came trolling in 25-50ft stickbaits 15-20ft down
wednesday long point 10:30-1:30 couldnt find the salmon again trolling stickbaits to the college ran into two lakers 28” and 29” both very fat were in 20ft of water
Launched at long point at 5:30pm took out at 8pm. Goal was to jig some lakers with paddletails swimbaits. went north to stony point, marked fish pretty much everywhere 10-100 feet on the bottom and suspended. Not much bait marks. Landed 2 average lakers dropped another 2 both bit on the white paddletail. The fish seem scattered and not willing to move for the jigs that much
