I did see somthing of the sort headed up the Hudson River the other day, probably 20+ boats on plane in the albany region all flying the red white and blue Sent from my LGL322DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I remember when I was a kid about 16, I had a chrysler 13ft sailboat. Me and 5 of my friends thought it would be fun to go out sailing on this thing, I ended up getting 5 lifejacket tickets and because the capacity plaque was missing he let the fact that we were overloaded slide. In hindsight it was incredibly dumb, and a valuable lesson was learned. Sent from my LGL322DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

From my understanding its just the king/ coho run thats over at that time, people are fishing steelhead almost all winter long. Sent from my LGL322DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

But I'm also fishing lakes with 120ft max depths so maybe my advice isnt 100% relevant

I fish smaller lakes over near the great sacandaga area and spoons like the speedy shiner, and jensen krocodile slay lake trout. I usually run them 10-20 ft off the bottom but I can see the rigger balls on my sonar, can you see the dipsys on the sonar? I can swear I saw a chart somewhere for how much line you need go let out to achive max depths on dipsys.

What size dipsys are you using? I know the maximum depth on those varies depending on the size. I only got into downrigging last summer and haven't tried dipseys yet. I would say look at your sonar and see where the fish are, keep your gear just above where you are marking fish and that usually does the job. I started out last summer with 2 8lb balls and paracord to try it out to see if I liked downrigging and soon realised it was well worth the money.

Right on

This is my first summer doing some fishing in lake ontario, my first trip was in June out of henderson bay and we landed one for the day. I'm curious though what time of year do they normally stage up in the trench area?
