Got to lakeside last night. Didnt fish today. Lake quit capping a few hours ago. See 3 boats out now in 50 to 100. Any reports?

I'd be inside. 60 to 80 early and wouldn't get deeper than 150. Big kings aren't looking for bait or paying too much attention to temp right now.

Hitting more out of aggression than hunger. Staging up.

Fished morning and evening trip inside out of the oak. Lake was rough.

Didn't mark much. Everyone else we talked to who fished in tight struck out as well.

Will see what it looks like in the AM.

Fleet out front first thing. Nothing happening or on screen. Lost screamer at 145, then took a LT.

Very slow for us. Boy was it combat fishing at first light. All we got was one skip to show. The east wind from Friday moved those fish somewhere

[bridget]

Traffic out front not bad today. Screen looked much better. Never had a hit or saw a fish caught.

I had been telling a guy from work who grew up near Point Breeze to give me a call this weekend if he wanted to fish. He left me a call last night that he did. Was afraid to tell him how the fishing was. Got out before dawn - not near the boat out Sunday, let alone Saturday. Screen looked so - so in 40 to 50 feet. Set up half way between the pier and water plant with all glows - J-Plugs, Flasher, SD and Spoons and headed east. Made a pass turned around and made another. Saw no fish caught and had no hits. Headed out with boats on either side to 150 to 190 where we had "action" Saturday. Didn't mark a fish. Headed back in and felt sorry for my co worker. At 120 marked a huge bait pod, with no fish. Thank God near the ladders we had a rip on a glow green J plug - 60 down in 65 FOW. Decent 24 lb. dark king ( think the J was near bottom). It was close to 10 and since Bridget and I had to break camp, we packed it in. He was happy anyway. Three days inside and I didn't see any signs of a fish being caught - unreal.

We had 11 hits at the 34 line Sunday but only boated three fish including this 22 pound male king. Bottom teeth starting to turn back and a hook jaw just starting.

We hit em pretty good out front on Fri/Sat in 90-175 on spoons. Sun was tougher, managed 2 decent fish in 75-110 on meat and one East of the chute in 40 FOW on a spoon.

[bondouley]

we got 3 majors and dropped another one sunday morning 20 ft of water right in front of the oak.  j plugs, meat rigs, and mag spoons all took shots inside.  one of the majors was 27.37 lbs

Last night when picking up in the dark at 175 fow, the screen came alive with fish. All over the screen and appear to come from the depths below 150 feet. It was really awesome. There's fish out there, but it seems they are attached to the bottom in daylight. I was running my sounder on a zoom function at 100 to watch the level of my spread better and should have tried checking the bottom more in that range of water.

This was straight out in front of port 175 fow. It's like the fish are staging in the ice water and just not active until the sun goes down. Still couldn't get a hit on the last two riggers I pulled after dark.

I hope I didn't come across as being too pessimistic. Just posting what I observed and what happened.It's a great fishery. Somewhat frustrating after last Labor Day Weekend limiting out a couple days before 11:00 A.M. in that 40 to 80 foot range first thing. That's fishing. Sounds like fish were anywhere from 20 FOW to the 34 line. That's a lot of water to cover. Look forward to going out next week.

fished Saturday evening , only got 2 immatures ....sunday morning we caught a decent steelie and a coho inside in 56 fow 28 feet down in the ice water ...went to olcott sunday night same results 2 immatures in 60 fow 44 feet down ....I would say that the Friday Blow screwed things up ......time to but the salmon gear away for me and get the stripah gear back out

[CaptDennis]

Yeah it was tough out there last weekend but can't wait to see what this one brings. I think it's time to start trolling jplugs right out of the harbor

[bridget]

Trolling glo green J-Plugs this time of year, right out of port is a good bet for sure. Recall one morning setting up like that about 30 minutes before light just as we cleared the Oak wall. Before getting the the second rod out,had a king on. Wind was was whipping out of the south and we were in 200 FOW when we finally landed the dark king.

 

On the other hand at Sodus back in the 90's while we had been doing well with J's in 15 to 60 foot, it was the third weekend in September and with a charter out did nothing for 3 hours. Some friends called me on the radio to say right in front of port they were tearing them up, but at the channel markers in 500 FOW. Made the long trip out now at about 10:00 A.M. and caught fish after fish - steelhead and mature kings on spoons. Go figure.
