Sorry, the person who took over the social media aspect for the weekend put it under the WHI Facebook page. I'll update the 1KADay and the Salmon Slam pages first thing in the morning. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Why fish Arch: Why fish DON'T Arch:

Just spoke with Kevin, and he doesn't see a need for you to be there if you'r lucky enough to win a day. It was just something he included so the winners could be part of the whole deal and atmosphere.

1000' will fit no problem as stated above, but if you want your counters to be accurate use backing and fill that spool up. It's easy to do if your're spooling up 2 wires on LC's. 1. Spool the wire up on a reel. 2. Add backing and fill the spool up. 3. Zero the LC on the empty reel. 4. Reel the full reel onto the empty reel and note what the LC says when all the backing is on the new reel.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

We had the same problem, and so did a couple of my buddies. We just used the canvas covers when trailering. Fixed the issue. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pretty much! I told them I didn't want to Brown Trout fish Saturday afternoon when they told me that.

When we stumbled upon them we weren't looking for them, but as the day went on and we dialed them in we saw them on the fish finder. Some suspended fish, but a lot laying on the bottom. Picture perfect to what we see and how we fish on Canada for the Spring tourney. Kings mixed in with Lakers. We had that stretch to ourselves with 3 other boats on Saturday that we called in on it. It was nice! Sunday there had to be 30 boats working that water. This is why we fish tourneys! You learn so much fishing different areas of the lake. It really makes you a better fisherman! We've only ever had 1 good event in April up in Canada, but we learn so much fishing skinny water Kings and it paid off this weekend.

April 25th – Another weekend with clients from Maine. They came for some April Brown Trout action, but the brutal winds all week really put a lot of mud on the shoreline. After a half hour of trolling through mud Captain Craig pointed the boat out to deeper water where we found the green water outside of the mud in 25-40’ of water between ship builders and Webster park. The minute we hit that green water we doubled on Chinook “King†Salmon! We swung back around and doubled again! The rest of the day we dialed in a Salmon program in that mid water section that would grab us over 20 King bites! On top of that we hooked into and played with 20+ Lake Trout and Brown Trout. One of our BEST Spring days off Rochester! Once we dialed in our Salmon program it was very similar to one we use in skinny water during the Spring Scotty events in St. Catherine. On our Cannon Downriggers we ran spoons back 40-50’. Glow Mixed Veggies seemed to be our best spoon hands down! We ran our center rigger the deepest back 40’, and the corner riggers 5’ above it back 50’. Our wire divers were out 40-50’ on 3 settings. Glow mixed veggies and a Yellow Tail like custom spoon were going consistently on those. Over top of the wires we ran 2 slide divers 25’ lead and 60-80’ back on a 4 setting. Similar spoons on those. Off our Otter boats we ran deep and medium diving Reef Runners. Glow/Green and Barbie being the best color combos on those back 125’. For hours it was all we could do to keep rods in the water! What an amazing day and boy did they get spoiled on KINGS! April 26th – Well, the Maine peeps came for Brown Trout and that’s what they wanted to target, so we ignored the Salmon, and targeted the Browns for the day. It was a stellar day from Ship Builders to Hedges in 10’ of water. Firetiger sticks did work! Many fish, but the biggest we landed was 6lbs. 100’ back off the boards for the sticks, and 50’ back on our Cannon Downriggers with bright spoons.
