I will either be launching out of Sampson or Seneca Lake ST. Park. We will be in a white lund explorer and be on ch. 68. Good to all, see ya out on the water. Tony (Slapshot)

I will be coming out to Seneca to do some Laker fishing. I will be coming form Buffalo and have never fished Seneca. The only reason I'm heading out that way is because a friend of mine just moved out there and heard that the Laker fishing is pretty good on Seneca. So, any advice as to where to launch, start fishing (trolling or jigging) and most importantly what to use? Thanks for the info. Tony (Slapshot)

I need help!! I have read past reports on mupped rigs. However, I still do not know what I am doing or how to rig one up. Could someone give me a step by step direction as how to set up a mupped rig, as I am CONFUSED or just that dumb. I my defense I am still new and learning all the different techniques. Thanks to all can help me and just think spring is on the way and I'm gettin the itch. Thanks. Tony

Can any one tell me if it's still worth going out of Olcott, The Bar, or Oak Orchard? Or is the close to shore Salmon fishing it the lake over? Thanks. Tony (Slapshot)

I haven't heard of any news or reports out of olcott. I'm looking to come this weekend an troll outside the harbor. Any suggetions? As I am scratching my head as what I should do or where I should go. Any reports of fish entering the streams? Thanks!! Tony(Slapshot)

I would like to ry my hand at landing a musky this year. Can anyone offer places to go and what to use? As I drive by lake erie in the fall I see guys out there trolling. Where would be my best bet to land a musky, either trolling or casting? Thanks. Slapshot ( Tony)

Thinking of heading up Sunday, can anyone offer any info. as to how deep I should set up and what colors/ spoons or flies to use. Thanks and hope to see some ofyou guys out there geting thosebig ones. Godd luck and thanks. Slapshot

When stacking your downriggers which is longer the bottm line (1st line in) or the top line (2nd line in). The bottom being a SD/ fly combo and the top being a spoon. Can you tell that I'm still learning!! Thanks. Slapshot

I wanted to plant an area with clover, etc... How big of an area would you suggest or need to be effective?

Tim, Besides the spoons I also ran a mtn. dew SD with a NBK fly 135' out and a white on white SD with a purple mirage and neither fired. Ran various spoons, riggers set at 70, 60, 50, 40 out over 200 - 250' of water. We hooked our small one to the west and made our way east. Tony

Tim, thanks for the info. We did get 1, small, about 5 #. I think I need more practice on the Lake. How did you do today? We got ours on the 42 second spoon, that I purchased this morning. Tony

About how far out is that? Also, with the weather, I have an 18' LUND Explorer. Do you think I'll be O.K. out there? Thanks and good luck tomorrow, maybe I'll see you out there. Tony (slapshot)

I'm going tomorrow with 2 first timers, could someone suggest where to start and at what depth. Thanks. Slapshot

I do not have a GPS unit, can anyone tell me approximately where/ how far out the 24N / 25N line is out of the OAK. Thanks! Slapshot

Does any one have a picture of a 42 spoon?

I'm thinking of heading up on Sunday. In your guys professional opinion what port would be a better place to start? I am also taking my brother-in-law and dad out salmon fishing for their first time. Thanks Slapshot.

Try Rainbow Sports or Fishing & Hunting, located in in North Tonawanda on Oliver Street.

Finally got the boat ready and work is cooperating. Thinking of heading up to either Wilson or Olcott? Can anyone give me their thoughts on where you think I should start to have a successful trip? Thanks and good luck to all. Keep on fishin!!

Can anyone offer and information as to the use of superbraid with slide divers? I heard that superbraid does not work with slide divers. That the diver will just keep sliding down the line. If so, how do you stop the slider form sliding down the line? Thanks!!

I bought a couple of the slide divers and would like to try them for the first time. I have used dipsey divers. Currently my reels have braided line on them for the dipsey's and slide divers. I believe that this combination is also good to use, so I've been told. I'll find out this year for myself once I get out and test the slide divers on my super braid.

I am sort of new to the whole salmon fishing techniques on Lake Ontario. I've fished many of time on Lake Erie for walleye. However, we know have 6 OKUMA Convector Reels, 2 with braid and 4 with 20 # Big game clear line. I would like to pick up 2 more reels that are a little cheaper but are of good quality. What would you guys recommend? Thanks.

I know that there has been alot of info. about what to use as far as stickbaits or spoons ans colors. My question is, what size is most commonly used, smaller or larger baits? Thanks,

I know that this subject has probally been brought up in the past, but since I am new to this site and salmon fishing in the spring (which I have never done before). I will ask any ways. What are your thoughts on using J-Plugs in the spring at the bar? Are they worth it? Also, I wanted to comment on the which two spoons questions, great info., I guess x-mas will come early this year since I own none of the spoon mentioned. Thanks to all who reply to this question.

Thanks guys for the info.

I am new to the salmon fishing on the Big-O as my buddy and I just purchased a boat. Its all rigged, as we did some fall salmon fishing, but we still have a lot to learn. Anyways, if you guys could offer some information as to what month to start fishing? where to go ? and what tackle and bait to use? I appreciate all of your info, Thanks, and good luck fishing in the coming year!
