250 was good today

Another great day on Lake Ontario making memories. Max and his crew from PA enjoyed some line burning King Salmon and high flying Steelhead action. The bite was a late morning early afternoon bite for us. We found a great area yesterday afternoon and went back there this morning. Those fish might have still been inside eating, but by mid morning that area started to fill in with fish. Team Dreamweaver's Glow Roy Boy, Martel, Midnight Special, and Rod Father worked on our 60-90' Cannon Optimum Downriggers. A-TOM-MIK coppers from 300-500' took fish thought the day. The 300 was pulling a Shelly Snack and fired most of the day. An A-TOM-MIK Pro Am shred behind a Seneca Special and Familiar Bite meat were firing on the 400 and 500 copper.

Had a great group of guys from Ohio this morning. We scanned out to the 27N line with our Hummingbird electronics where we finally set down and deployed rods. Never had a great screen all day. We marked one pod of bait offshore, and it was loaded with marks. Top spoon in the morning was a FishUSA Martel on our 70' Cannon Optimum downrigger. Later in the day it was Rod Father in that same part of the water column. Our two biggest Salmon of the day both came down 150' on our Cannon Optimum downrigger. Familiar Bite Herring was down there hunting for us after the morning bite. All in all the clients had a handful of nice Salmon and Steelbows to take home. They were also gifted a beautiful Brown Trout that was lost offshore. It was never fast and furious today. We enjoyed a slow pick of fish. Unfortunately, we had a case of the dropsies and short hits.

June 20 - A good client from Maine has been asking me to take him to Lake Erie so he can check that lake off his bucket list. When we found out the Spring Tightlines Salmon Tournament was cancelled he jumped on the open weekend. So, here we are fishing Lake Erie. First things first we want to give a shout out to Damian, the owner of Bay Rat Lures, for dropping off a "care package" to our hotel. He said "you're gonna need spoons" and since they're all on our other boat we didn't have any. Those Bay Rat Lures 3.5 spoons saved the day! Reports earlier in the week said the lake flipped and fishing was tough on the NY side. We were met with very flat conditions and a blazing [emoji274] today. Captain's we communicated with to the East of Barcelona this morning were dealing with a tough bite. The Captain's we talked to in Erie, PA, however, were crushing it. Spoons seemed to be the ticket for them so we got on the NY/PA fence and deployed a spoon program. Leadcore and jet divers were working for the Erie Captain's, but we had neither. What we did have was snap weights to 6oz. A good client from Maine has been asking me to take him to Lake Erie so he can check that lake off his bucket list.

June 21 - One last hurrah before we get back to screaming drags next weekend. We set out around 5:30am and stopped at the log cabin West of Barcelona Harbor in 45' of water. The Humminbird said there were fish below, and it didn't take long to get a nibble. Boat control was tough with the wind direction we faced in the morning. Our program consisted of Bay Rat Lures@ LXDs 200' behind Off Shore Tackle Company OR12 inlines. Some on 10lb mono and others on 20lb braid. On our Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers we ran worm harness probing the bottom. Our second fish hit during a little tangle, but I'll tangle lures again if it means a double digit walleye will hit! It took a Bay Rat LXD in the Machine color. That same set up would take a second hog belly Walleye about an hour later! Sticks did us well in the morning while there was a slight chop on the surface. As that went away the Bay Rat 3.5 spoons behind 3oz Offshore Guppies started to produce better. Size was down from yesterday minus the two trophies. Scroll through the pics to see the lures that did us well this weekend. Those three Bay Rat spoons were great for us with the Raspberry Lemonade (left spoon) and the Raspberry Dolphin (center spoon) doing most of our bites behind 3 & 4 ounce snap weights.

If it's dual frequency try using 200khz while running. Use 83khz while fishing. See if switching to 200 helps on plane.

No idea.

No

Made one last trip with friends before we kick off the 2020 charter season for the second time next weekend [emoji1787]. Made a run to get away from the pack early this morning. Thank God for Humminbird radar! We started 12 miles West of the harbor in 80' and it was fast and furious. We worked 60-100' most of the day. Our Cannon Optimum's fired from 40' to the bottom. Wires were firing in that 40-60' as well. That nice Atlantic Salmon came on 5 colors of FishUSA Stealthcore. Our 10 color cores were good as well. Mostly spoons for us, but A-TOM-MIK UV190 and Hammer Lime Live took fish regularly on our low divers. We currently have two morning slots left for the summer (May 31, July 4). If anyone's interested in a charter give us a shout. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What unit? What Frequency are you running?

Ugh.... Ya, we dealt with that a few weeks ago.

Why can't you get your boat out if you don't mind me asking?
