  1. Hans:

    After reading your post, it seems as if I may have inadvertently reported the wrong location of the catches. For all of my trips this season, I have trolled to the area west of I Bay and between Genesee River and Russell Station. Yet, I give my report with a title "I Bay report" simply because of where I dock my boat.

    I am aware that the waters are much deeper on the east side compared to the west side. I believe the area is called Shipbuilders. Your experience tells me that I should try to venture out to the east of I bay.

    Only if my deaf ears could listen to the radio, I might find you out there on the water last night. Grin.

    We started out in 100 FOW per your recommendation and saw tons of bait and fish. Two riggers down 40 and 75 feet. When I put down the first line in, it got hit within minutes but nobody was home. Trolled up to 140 and saw nothing on the screen. Trolled back to 100 FOW and marked more fish.

    Just right after the sunset, the reel started screaming as I burned my thumb and cut my finger trying to slow down the fish - another rookie moments. Landed a 12 lbs King on spin doctor with atomic green crinkle fly.

    Bottomline - I gotta get me a Depth Raider.

    Tight lines.

  3. Excellent report!

    I went out last Saturday against your advice and got skunked. Fished for at least four hours in 3 footer plus. My spin doctors on both riggers were tangled each time. A buddy got sea sick and lost his breakfast.

    On the way back, we saw a school of fish (2 foot long -got to be trouts) jumping out of the water just like as if it were surfing the waves. Awesome sight but no catch either!

    I guess my lesson tells me to not go out trolling on rough waters.

  4. Went out for a short evening from 6 p.m to 9 30 p.m. straight out of I bay. Lake was calm before the south wind picked up at later in the evening.

    2 Kings. My biggest yet - 22 lbs and 16 lbs taken out of 200-215 FOW with downriggers about 90' to 100' down. The 16# king fought harder than the 22#.

    This is my first season and King Salmon fishing is the real deal. Thanks to those of you especially UPGRADY who have shared tips which helped me a great deal with landing these brutes.

  5. 7/7/07 has proven to be a winner! Went out from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. North of I bay.

    Cream of crop! 4 for 5. One King, One Brown, One Coho and One Laker all taken between 100 to 180 FOW with downriggers out between 60 to 90 ft. NK 28 firetiger and Monkey Puke.

    When trolling back to port, saw tons of bait in 90 to 100 FOW. Got hit and l was unable to reel in the fish right away due to white cotton stuff on the line. As a result, lost the possibly my biggest catch of the season.. :evil: This is my first season and I wasnt sure if this pile up on my pole were due to the fleas. "This one got away" doesnt cut it and Im now off to the store to buy more NK firetiger lures. :devil:

    Will head out again tmw a.m.

  6. welcome aboard! Isnt this website awesome!

    My 20 years plus fishing experience from Long Island DOES NOT apply up here! This is why I pay attention carefully to this website.

    You may see me sometimes on my Wellcraft V-21 with sailfish logo on both sides and I am docked at Sutters.

    Tight lines!

  7. Boat: Wellcraft V-21 Steplift

    Location: Irondequoit Bay - Sutter Marina

    Despite my nickname, Pike Hunter, I target mostly small mouth bass in the Big O and Pike in the bay. I grew up in Long Island chasing Blue fish, flounders at Great South Bay and I go for Tuna whenever I ride on my couins's off shore boat. I lived in Rochester for nearly 20 years and have started fishing 6 years ago. The freshwater fishing is a lot tricker as compared to fishing in the ocean.

    My goal for 2007- having just bought a trolling motor, I will be spending more time chasing trout and salmon this season.

    I find it very worthwhile to learn as much as I can from the gang on this BB.

    I wish you all a safe and successful fishing season.

    Anthony
