For what it's worth, in late April I caught a 21.5lb king off IBay and as far as I can remember that's the biggest salmon I've ever caught in April. I'm talking 45 yrs of fishing Lake O. I also don't fish to the west and I'm sure my results would be different in that case. Not past Sandy towards the Oak. Some mid teens off Rochester and that includes the days when an occasional 30lb + would show up in the summer.
I believe there's only one marine on the creek now and usually full. I would think it would draw boaters from Braddock Bay who are feed up with the lake channel.
It'd me nice to see it open again. I docked there from mid 80's to mid 90's and never had a problem with the depth or low hanging branches but it's been 30 years.
As a vet I just ordered a pass. One question, at an unattended boat launch like Irondequoit bay what do you leave on your dash to prove you qualify for a free launch? I guess you leave the pass, right?l Any thoughts? Thanks!
