Without a doubt the best slug I have come across is the federal Barnes expander, they were discontinued and replaced with federal trophy. They grouped in the same hole at 50 yards. My daughter used them on her buck this year in 20 gauge and they work very well. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Out of Henderson it is about 17 miles to the lanes. Go past the south end of Stony and Galoo Islands and the wall is about a mile to the East and a bit South of Galoo. I am sure you can find the wall on your charts. It really helps to have a a plotter with the charts on it to stay right on the wall. Be careful or you will loose gear. I think it is about 24 miles out of Sandy. This summer the fishing is good everywhere, but in summers that are tuff you can still find the salmon out there.

It is a long ride but it was way worth it. We are going out again on Labor Day in the trench and I hope it is as good. Unfortunatly the boat i usually go out on is out of the water for the season so i am limited to a few charters for this season. If you do go to the shipping lanes stay tight to the wall. We were killing them but the boats the were too timid did not catch anything.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/4 Time on Water:4:45 - 12:30 With lots of running time Weather/Temp:80's Wind Speed/Direction:sw Waves: flat to 4ft to 1ft Surface Temp: Location:Shipping Lanes out of Henderson =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 26 Total Boated:19 Species Breakdown:Kings, Browns, and Lakers Hot Lure: Mirage Fly with green flashers Trolling Speed: 2.8 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 110ft Lure Depth: 92, 82,72 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS First time to the lanes with Capt. Ron Stien. What a day! We started right off with browns and lakers and the salmon started about 7:30 and just kept coming. We had doubles and triples with different species on each rod. The biggest Salmon was about 23#, but lost a bigger one at the boat. The biggest Laker was pushing 20#. The Browns were pretty small at about 5#. A day I will never forget. ====================

I am also new to the HH area and will update on this string as well. We have had good luck on lakers and browns so far this year, but have not hooked up on any big kings yet. The trench runs between the high rocks and stony island. The finger runs off of the tip of stony island and shows up as a hump between the trench and the open lake. The fish seem to stack up on the lake side most of the summer. I am not sure what is refered to as the hay stack. Good luck to all. Matt K on the Horst Play
