Mexico Bay Boat Launch 3/20/2021

[Browntroutchaser99]

Hi everyone, I just joined Lake Ontario United. I’ve been fishing this lake for about 3 years now. I drive up here 5 hours every free day off that I can get from work!! Here are a few pictures of a couple of brown trout that my buddy and I caught this past Saturday!! The large one which I’m holding weighed in at just over 18 lbs!!! It was caught on an orange Michigan Stinger Sodus Point Buckeye spoon!!

Thank you! The water level was a bit low, but my boat was able to get off of the trailer okay.

18#...
The biggest I've ever caught (in about five trips over 10 years) was just under 8.
Nice fish.
We're headed up again 4/18 for a week out of Catfish Creek.

You released that fish, right?
I'm looking for a wall-hanger!

That last picture is awesome, that one gets my vote for next years  reg book, the green shading is awesome.

Where at Catfish Creek are you staying?

[rswanson330]

Catfish Creek Camps.
Its a fishing camp on Catfish Creek.

We stay in a mobile home, the boat is in the water on the dock...
Wake up and head out in the morning.

Just curious, because I've stayed across the creek at Camp Crystal for the past 25 years until buying a home on Sunset Bay Rd. I know Wally quite well. 

[rswanson330]

Let me know if you're going to be fishing the week of 4/18-25.
The camp doesn't (or didn't two years ago) have internet,
So I won't be posting much.
But if you're going to be on the water that week I can let you know how we're making out.
Purple sticks were the trick two years ago, seeded watermelon spoons prior to that,  brown sticks prior to that.
And there were a couple years where we couldn't buy a fish.

We've run into kings this early...

But only a couple times.

They were always partial to a black, white and pink spoon for whatever reason.

I'll post what I can, I may have read that they have piped internet into the camps now.

OK sounds good, 2018 we absolutely had the best spring king year ever, they were through out the water column in 50-90 fow and wacked whatever presentation we put out, good luck to you and hope this year is better than last..........Pete

You've done well! that's my biggest brown to date 18 lbs. after 30 years of fishing Lake Ontario. Good going guys and welcome to Lake Ontario United, lots of great people with the same interest. Very helpful and knowledgeable gang. Hope this is a great year for everyone!!!

 

[Tony K]

Yes Pete I’m in Bills trailer. Looking forward to meeting you. Keeping my fingers crossed we get some water. I’m a newbie but creek looks awful low. Nice job on the fish guys that’s a beauty !! Anyone know if the docks are in at Mexico launch ?

[Tony K]

Oh yeah and congratulations on the new home Pete !!
