Yankee's 4th of July Weekend at the Oak - Plenty of fish P*O*R*N!

[Yankee Troller]

July 2nd

Who doesn’t like a father son trip!?!?!?!? We let Lady O calm her emotions this morning and dropped lines about 9am. Sloppy, but fishable. Crazy currents! Anyway, bite was good from the get go. Everything was going. Team Dreamweaver Martel’s, Moonshine Lures Carbon 14, and Familiar Bite were going on our Cannon downriggers from 65-125’. Our divers out 225-250’ were going with A-TOM-MIK ultra green glow and purple mirage flies. Lost a few nice Kings, and put back some quality Steelbows. Kept the clients limit which consisted of 3 coho, 2 Kings, and 1 Steelbow. 

 

 

 

 

July 3rd (morning)

Great morning at the Oak. Done early with this group from Ithaca. Familiar Bitetook our biggest salmon of the day, but the new UV A-TOM-MIK flies in glow mirage and pro am were studs. Our Team Dreamweaver Martel’s we got from FishUSA were flying on our Cannon downriggers. A pair of 24lb brutes really made the day! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 3rd (afternoon)

WOW! If this Salmon bite lasts the next two months it’ll be a year to remember! The afternoon trip started with a triple right off that bat, and it never let up. Multiple doubles, and some really angry matures whacking divers. A-TOM-MIK UV sweet pea and pro am were studs tonight. Familiar Bite took its share as well. Our downriggers parked from 75-125’ down, and wires out over 200’. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 4th

Another great day on the water. UV A-TOM-MIK pro am and mirage flies took top honors on our divers out 200-250’. Our biggest fish came on Familiar Bite on a deep rigger. Great class of Steelbow out there and all classes of Salmon.

Yes, it was an Atlantic.

Thanks Rick, I sure wouldn't mind seeing more of those fish in LakeO. Do they get bigger than in that photo? Do they fight like a king? I'm not saying do away with the Kings, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings seeing more Atlantics swimming in LakeO!!

That was 29" and loose eggs were falling out of her on the deck of the boat. I've seen bigger for sure. Some fight OK, but most don't fight well. They are a waste of resources on Lake Ontario to be honest.

Great looking fish. Best we did tuesday was a 15.5 king and a few other teens/steel. Do you happen to have a pic of that Martel pattern?
