    When fishing Wautoma or Putneyville are we talking depths of 20-30 ft or deeper??

    Just wondering if anyone has been doing any smallmouth fishing on Lake Ontario from approximately Hamlin to Sodus Bay. Years ago the smallmouth fishing use to be very good in that area of the lake but has not been very good as far as I know for the past 10 years or more. Just wondering if anyone has any reports for smallmouth fishing in that area of the lake. Thank you!

    Launched at Westpoint Marina around 715am and on the lake fishing around 745am. Had a good morning of fishing today. We had 9 fish on total and landed 6 of them and 3 others got off. 2 of them were small and the third was another large salmon that we lost at the boat; he wrapped the line around the downrigger cable when he was 5ft from the boat!! The biggest salmon was 17 pounds. The one lost at the boat was probably just as big! Caught most of them between 8am and 930am. Fished 80-120 foot of water with 50 degree water down about 45 ft. So only had to fish from 30-55 ft down. All fish on spoons off of riggers. Had out one dipsy with no action.

    I appreciate the information. With the strong NW winds today I am sure warmer water will move back in and pile up on the south shore. I see down temp at 35 ft this morning was 49 degrees but I am pretty sure that won’t hold thru Wednesday with the strong west/northwest winds. But will start around 80-100 and see what down temps look like. Thanks again!!

    When you were fishing that 140-180 fow, were you fishing a north/south, south/north, east/west, west/east troll? Was one direction better than another. Planning on getting out this Wednesday out of Braddock and any info you can provide would be helpful. Have not been out in about 3 weeks. Thanks! Mr Kato

    Captain Rick, I watched the video, Thanks for the report!! You did not indicate where you fished but I am assuming it was out of the Genesee and then east toward Irondequoit Bay and maybe all the way to Webster. Just wondered if you went east and not west if in fact you were out of the Genesee. Looking forward to more reports. I wish the future weather forecasts were more promising. Mr Kato

    Rich, I am in Erie and thought about stopping at the Fish USA store on Monday March 2nd. Looks like they only have 6 of the colors in stock now: ayu killer, chrome blue back orange belly, citric shad, lacy tiger, leech, and my secret. i know you like the Citic Shad. Woukd you recommend any of the other 5 colors? Thanks Mr Kato

    Bill, Thanks for he report. Fished out of Braddock Bay on Wednesday. Could not get out early but out at 845. Fished til about noon. Not a single release. Fished anywhere from 80 out to 180 between Braddock Pt and Lighthouse Pt. Screens looked better in 80-120 ft but not able to get a release. Still THOUSANDS of dead baitfish on the surface, Mr Kato

    Great day of fishing in mid-December!! Thanks you for the report. Were you fishing out of the port of Rochester and then east?

    I appreciate the replies. If there is only a foot of water in several spots in the channel it might be tough getting my boat thru. I can always travel to Oak Orchard. Water might be deeper there. Thanks again!

    I know that the lake level is down 1.75-2.0 ft from its maximum (246.16) in mid July 2024 and is now at 244.36 ft (Oct 31st reading). With the lake level being down nearly 2 feet over the last 3 months, I was wondering if anyone has been out thru Braddock Bay channel recently and what the depth of water might be in the channel. I was thinking of doing some near shore fishing for browns in November but did not want to spend the time/energy launching my boat at Westpoint Marina if I can't get thru the channel to the lake. I have a 21 ft Crestliner with a 120hp outboard and 9.9hp trolling motor but if water level in channel is low I might not be able to navigate safely thru the channel. If anyone has any recent information on depth of water in the channel I would appreciate it. Thank you. Mr Kato

    Thanks for all the tips on what baits you are using. In your reports could you provide specifics on what depth of water you are fishing and at what depths are you setting your riggers? And are you fishing east/west of the Genesee? Just wondered. Thank you!

    Looks like you were out early by the photo with the sun just coming up. How far down were you jigging? I was out today from about 10am-130 and got nothing. Water temp seemed all messed up between Braddock and Lighthouse Pt with 45 degree water down about 40-45 ft in 70-150 ft depth. I am going to have to try this jigging. Is it best early in the morning or late at night? Mr Kato

    I fished Sunday 7/21 morning/early afternoon (10am - 2pm) out of Braddock Bay in that 80-110 ft range and marked tons of fish but could only manage one 14 pound king. And to get a decent down speed (2.5-2.8) we had to troll east/northeast, not west or northwest. To get a down speed of 2.5-2.8 trolling west or northwest we had to crank the surface speed up close to 4 knots! Just wondered what you were seeing in that 150-220 ft of water. Guess maybe we should have gone out a little farther instead of staying in that 80-110 ft range. But maybe the time of day also made a difference. Mr Kato

    Similar to the above post: would be interested in knowing the type and size/weight of the igging spoons. From some of the photos from this post and a previous it looks like the color might be white with some black markings on the spoons. Any info you could provide would be appreciated. I have often thought about trying that technique. Thank you! Mr Kato

    Just wondered how long of a lead are you running on your spoons on your 70/80 riggers? I fished Sunday morning/early afternoon (10am - 2pm) out of Braddock Bay in that 80-110 ft range and marked tons of fish but could only manage one 14 pound king. Was running about 15ft leads on my spoons off of the riggers. And to get a decent down speed (2.5-2.8) we had to troll east/northeast, not west or northwest. To get a down speed of 2.5-2.8 trolling west or northwest we had to crank the surface speed up close to 4 knots! What directions were you trolling? Or what direction was best for you? Thanks! Mr Kato

    How are the spiny fleas the last few days? When I was out there earlier in the week (Monday/Tuesday timeframe) they were real bad. Lines full of them. Any tips on how to keep them off the line? Mr Kato

    Whaler1: I am heading out tomorrow out of Braddock Bay. Were you fishing off/near Braddock Pt? If you can provide any info that would be great. Depth, speed, lures, etc. Thank you! Mr Kato
  23. MrKato
    Was that 2.3-2.5 speed you referenced surface speed at speed at the downrigger ball?
  24. MrKato
    What depth of water did you fish and how deep were the riggers set? - Mr Kato
  25. MrKato
    Zach, That's quite a laker!! Congrats! What port did you fish out of? Just wondered. Mr Kato
