They're back! The Orleans County waters of Lake Ontario once again are teaming with big hungry king salmon. The first key area you want to hit are the 85 to 125 feet of water between the "Pump House" - a long troll - to the Little House".  Every time the wind turns to west , schools of matures show up. The fishing depths to rig your lure may range from 40 to 80 feet down. Myself, I am staying with an "O" Frawg spoon program. Yesterday, Ohio anglers hit them - slob to 26 # including 3 double headers! Many good boats ("rec" and charter) are having terrific action in this area. It is hot!

 

The Oak's offshore waters 26.5 to 29.5 lines - that's 280 to 500 ft of water are even hotter lately. The charters Pisces, Irish Thunder and Reel Excitement were heard talking about crazy good action on multi year class king and whopper steelhead when ever safe, calm conditions allow venturing to the shipping lanes. Always keep with the fleet especially when out deep, ok!
