Great day on Lake Ontario with this group from Central Pennsylvania. One fella's biggest fish ever was a sunfish, so battling a 20lb King Salmon was something he's never done and boy did he enjoy it! Big guy today was just shy of 24lbs taken on Familiar Bite. We started in 150' of water and trolled NW to 300'. We had a decent screen, but we took mostly 2yr old Salmon and Steelhead. Received a call from my buddy Tom Boddy that there was a good chew in shallower, so we trolled South into 105-135' and put a hurting on matures!

 

Our normal meat rigs kind of rotted today, so with the high sun we tried some new rigs. That new Familiar Bite De Javu Whip Flasher was [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91][emoji91][emoji91] [emoji91]! Hot spoon today was FishUSA Glow Roy Boy by Team Dreamweaver, as well as Shelly's Snack. Our Cannon Downriggers were firing from 70-115'. Divers early were good at 175', but later in the day 225-250'. A-Tom-Mik Mfg. coppers in a 300' & 400' length each took fish.
