What do you have for temp in there? We got 53 down 120 over 400.

Thought we were gonna smoke em this morning.  Had 3 in the box in the first half hour before it totally died on us.  All the fish came just east of port over 200ish.  All spoon bite for us.  2 steelies on a UV wonderbread on a rigger and a 10 color with a salmon viagra.  King took a laser spook off a rigger. 

Finger Lakes Tackle blue bank breaker was tops followed by a mag stinger glow ghost.  I'd have to double check my logbook, but I do believe those two spoons took fish almost every trip.

Just popped 2 cohos, one on a 100 dipsey and the other on a rigger at 60. Both on FF

Do all the stocked kings have clipped adipose fins?  Are all kings with adipose fins wild?  I wish I knew this before, I would would have paid attention to the fins.  I will now for sure!

Screen was lit up when setting up, blank now. 54deg down 90, better temps at least!

Nick did the temps come up at all during the day? 

Best of luck this week!  I live vicariously thru your live reports while I'm stuck at work. 

We ended up 2-4.  We worked 100-140 all afternoon.  As the sun got lower saw a lot of bait and quite a few big hooks.  Slow fishing, but a gorgeous sunset!

We just got set up in 110 foot, just west of port. Popped a little king and a brown down 100 on a ff.

This is the screen I have fished today, and that pic was at 12:30 ! There are pockets of Bait with hooks, but it's too much bait and the fish are feasting. This evening could be epic ? Very soon the waters will be turning red.

We saw the same thing, it looked like fish soup!  Totally maddening seeing them rise off the bottom only to drop back down.

I wasnt quick enough to get a picture, but we had a brown bat land on the planer board mast this morning for a second.  I thought that was pretty neat!

Thanks for the post Ben. That blue bank breaker from FLT made its way to Davey Jones locker as well. We had a slam that took the leader on a dipsey. 2-5 with son landing ImageUploadedByLake Ontario United1437842837.691076.jpga nice bow. How deep were you this morning. I think we past you on the way in.

We fished 170-190.  That blue bank breaker has been by far and away our best spoon all summer. 

It was shaping up to be an awesome day till we saw the storm coming and decided to play it safe.  We went 3-5 on kings.  Lost 2 good kings on dipseys.  200 wire with a chrome 2 face spinny/bloody death and 240 wire with a 42 spinny/42 took fish.  Rigger @ 75 with a mupped finger lakes tackle blue bank breaker went twice too.  Cant wait to get back out in the am!  

We just lost a king because of the fleas! Ugh!

Looking forward to your reports!  Good luck!!

I had some fleas this am out of sodus.  Maybe an inch or 2 at worst.

We had a slow morning. 3 small kings, and a steelie. Kings on a 65' rigger on a blue bank breaker, steelie on a 10 color took a mag glow stinger. We marked lots of bait and streakers but just couldn't get em going.

We went 3-4 this am.  Just west of port in 160-190.  19 lb king, 10 lb laker and a skippy king. 

Your best bet is to get them from ticketexchange.  There is a tab on the website under tickets.  Season ticket holders get first crack at single game tickets.  They went really fast this year. 

What kind on motor do you use?... A kicker or your main motor. I ask Because i wonder if noise plays a factor

75 merc 4 stroke

For what its worth, last weekend we had a steelie take an Orange crush on a free slider on a 25 foot rigger.  I could easily see the spoon, the slider leader was maybe 6 foot. 

Why is Scotty riggers not an option.

Mostly price, and I've never seen them in stores locally.

I am tired of my manuals and am looking to get a pair of electrics.  I've narrowed it to either cannon mag 5s, or big jon sportsmans.  Just looking for opinions on them.

Sampson is open, I launched there Sunday morning.  As for the fishing I managed one pike.

Unions springs is wickedly low as well, be tough to put in there. Why is the water SO low this year??
