Henderson / Stony Creek 2020

Do you have an e z steer on your kicker?  I am tempted to go solo but think I could only do it if I rigged something up to be able to steer from the helm

Yes it’s and e z steer system. I got it used on here. I believe it was actually for an I/O to kicker, but made it work. Definitely helps.

Went out of Stony this evening. Dropped lines at 5, pulled em at 8. Found good temp and marks... only took a white fish and a dragged a small laker for a little bit. Best screens over 125 fow give or take. Getting a little frustrating.

Went out Stony this morning till found 200', came back towards mountain. Only found 1 little guy, 500' copper on a spoon over 145'. Found the research vessel Seth Green on the lake end of mountain dragging nets. Went in shortly after as it was getting "Ontario ish"! Lol

This is a pretty good site, weather and wave forecast...

I use the sail flow app.

Fish weather app. Can see real time buoy and winds from active stations and the forecast has been pretty accurate for me so far.

That is funny. Your app shows the same thing as sail flow

It's going to be bumpy tuesday.  I would expect 4 with the occasional 5-6 footer.

Sounds like the first time I went out there, funny how my days off end up being great weather.

Do any of you notice a difference in catch when the weather's like that?

Some of my best days have been when the weather is snotty... I think I prefer not getting beat up all day though.

 

I am heading out to Henderson Harbor this weekend and spending the following week out there. I've heard the salmon have been hard to ignite so far.. has anyone been doing anything with browns or steelhead around the trench/mountain/finger?

[Fireredcannon]

Well my plan is boat in the water around 5ish tomorrow, I'll keep everyone posted on how that goes.

Our best days seem to be when waves are in the 1-2' range.  Flat calm can be slow and 4'+ just isn't fun.  I think the 1-2's are best because the light gets broken up AND we can still go wherever we want so can work good water consistently.

 

My buddy just sent me pics of a 30lber he caught in front of the big river earlier this week.  I'll be joining him this Friday for a week of fishing.  Can't wait!   Good luck everyone!  Hoping things turn on soon.

Left the henderson ramp at 545, like glass running to the cut. 2ft on the other side that quickly turned into 5-6ft with some bigger maybe 8s decided there was no way with a 165 tracker, friends girlfriend found out she gets seasick easily lol

Was pretty snotty out there yesterday too in the morning. It really calmed down later in the afternoon and early evening.
