Blind squirrel/fired up/rodmaster july 25th report - BLOOD BATH

[KING ME]

 Today Capt. Rich and myself had the pleasure of having Capt. Mike Pastore of Rodmaster charters aboard the “fired upâ€. Prior to fishing with this Lake Ontario legend I thought the name “rodmaster†was for the number of fish he catches for his clients, well there is a second reason. Neither Capt. Rich nor myself could believe this guys ability in landing fish…..the best rod guy I have ever seen. He landed mature kings in RECORD time one after another. Great guy with not only a vault of knowledge but unbelievable rod handling skills. Mike you are welcome to fish aboard the “fired up†anytime!

 Now for the blood bath report , ABSOLUTELY  the BEST SALMON bite we have ever seen in july and we all have been doing this for over 20+ years!

 We left dock at 5 a.m. and headed out to our fishing grounds.  Since we were not on a charter and there was no money, reputation, or pressure involved in our day we all decided to keep our work load to a minimum. Only run 6 rods – 4 riggers with 2 wires…No coppers, cores, torpedo’s or even cheaters or free sliders!!!!  Well we where so wrong on not working!

Starting setting rods at 5:35a.m in 150 fow .

 

2 riggers 55’ and 65’ down with 42 second spoons. Port down and out 73’ down with white green dot echip and twinkie meat rig. Starboard down and out 42 second spinnie/fly. Wires 210’ on 2.5 setting with white green dot spinnie/meat other 250’ on 2.5 setting with same spinny/sushi fly. All He#@ broke loose and had 9 kings in 45 minutes.

 

 We continued to work 150-200’ in a one mile area and pound on the kings till 9:30 when we called in another captain to cash in on the blood bath for his clients. During this time we moved off our waypoints for him to work area solo. We spent this time on an hour and a half sight seeing tour so Capt. Rich could show Linda an underwater island.

11:00 BACK ON our waypoints and back to the king action. Same lures just fished dropped down some in water column. Continued to catch mostly mature salmon with only a few teenagers and 1 steelhead in the mix. Watching catching Capt. Mike and linda reel in salmon all day till we pulled rods at 12:45 and headed to dock. We kept afew bleeders and matures for the smoker and for the pig roast we attended back at marina. Other than that all swimming to be caught again another day. We tallied fighting over 40 kings and 1 steelhead in 6 hours we spent actually fishing.

 

The fishing was incredible to say the least but so was the entire day and experience. All four of us had none stop ball breaking and laughter the entire day. By far a day I will never forget the rest of my life. Thank you Capt. Mike, Linda and Capt. Rich.

That's an awesome report. I wish I had a few guys to head out this morning but everyone is either tired or beat up and they wanted a break. It's only gonna get better and better. Keep up the good work
