Thanks for the info Kevin.

Hi Kevin

  How much line do you run off your board releases and do you put any weight on the baits?  Thanks for the great reports and sharing of info.

Great job guys! Thanks for report.

You better check on a place to stay now.  Most places up here are already full for the eclipse viewing they are expecting hundred of thousands of tourists. 

You could always call them.

I went to my GLS220 from a 20 ft cuddy and have never looked back. It’s way safer and more comfortable on LO   The only downside is , it’s much harder to single hand. Launching and retrieving can be a challenge solo   But that’s a price I’m willing to pay 

I know what you mean doing it solo.  I have a few times and especially if the wind is blowing it is difficult.  I wish I could find someone who is retired like me and would like to go once in awhile.  I just moved into the area and don't really know anybody.  The fishing should get pretty good here soon.

Size of boat can become irrelevant. For years I fished out in the 600-700 ft area in my 13 ft. Boston Whaler but it was all dependent on conditions and there were times when the weather report suggested it would be good only to find when i got there to the lake....impossible conditions to go out at all. One particular time I was out in the deep stuff and a storm came out of nowhere  from the west with lightening and huge waves building and raining like hell. It had been beautiful all morning too. When I finally reached the channel all the big boats were struggling to get back in the 12 ft. waves. The people on the Sodus Point pier were clapping and cheering me on as it probably looked to them that I was in someones dingy I had about 8 inches of water in the boat from the rain but I made it in (white knuckles and all) but it was a huge lesson to me as even the 32 ft or larger boats were in just as much trouble as me getting back in.  You have to choose your conditions no matter what sized boat but keep in mind regardless that the weather out there comes with no guarantee and can change quickly. 

12 foot waves in a 13 foot boat? That's almost unbelievable.

Excellent report.  Nice job fishing.  Thanks.

Good report.  NIce calm night.

Can' t ask for better conditions than that this time of year? Good job and good report. 

Good job and nice report.  Nothings cheap anymore (hunting and fishing trips never were!).  Looks like you made the best of it though.  Can't do much better than that.

At this point I dont think they care.

Catch any fish yesterday?

I also found the spring brown season to be very good.  Nearly every one had a lamprey with some having two or even three small ones.  I think some of the programs were suspended during the pandemic.

Trolled out of Mexico today for 6 hours 30 - 70 ft of water.  1 king a little over sixteen lbs.  Only hit.  Hardly any fish marked hardly any boats out on a friday afternoon lake like glass marked almost no fish.  Report of not many fish in the river.  Looks to me like a very bad year?  Been out for 3 weeks fishing?  Getting late in the season now.

Good report hammer thanks for the info.

There were charters fishing in front of the river.  They could be doing well early/late in the day.  As I stated we fished mid day but I'm retired and live close by so I was just doing a recon trip to check it out.  We marked very few fish and the reports on the radio were not promising.  Just honestly reporting what we experienced.  Will be going again after the weekend I'll report my findings then.  Good luck to all.

I fished out of mexico the last 2 days for 3 hours each day(middle of the day). Fished from Selkirk up past the big river in 40-80 ft of water.  Not a hit either day.  Only marked a very few fish each day.  Saw 1 fish boated each day one in 40 and 1 in 60.  Not many fish at all in the river.  They seem to be running late this year.  Looks like quite a bit of rain coming next week may be whats needed to cool things off.

Great job getting the kids out fishing! Until next time.......

Good job keep up the good work!

Bigger is better!

Sounds like a fun morning.  I went out of Mexico earlier in the week just for a trial run more than anything just got my boat running good after working on it.  Went towards the plant and fished for three hours 3-6pm in water from 80 to 120 ft.  Never caught a fish but the main thing is it was a nice day and the boat ran great.  Marked a few fish at the 15 - 20 foot range? Also had a couple of small marks on the bottom. I know this is a poor time of day for laker fishing but I did expect to do something. Gonna try the other side of the bay in a week or so the salmon should be showing up over there pretty soon.

Thats some great information. Thanks for sharing.

wow! great job.

Wow! I'm impressed thats some day of fishing. Great job!
