Well, After the last 7 years of fishing for the big one and trying to top our first Lake Ontario King that tipped the scales at 26 lbs...we finally did it...this Hog came on board on Friday afternoon last week and weighed in at 33.5 lbs, 40 inches long and the tail was 11 inches tip to tip... and was caught the day before the Big Fish derby in Olcott...of coarse...I dont think we have ever experienced such a thrill as we did that evening as we watched that thing take a Dipsy, Spin Doctor and Fly set at 120 out on a 3.5 setting and strip wire until we stopped her at 600 feet...30 minutes to get her in the net and now shes off to the taxidermist...what a rush! This is why we fish! My buddy Tom Frigo happened to be the man to suffer the battle as he was closest to the rod when that thing slammed the fly...he had only been Salmon fishing one other time with me and we limited on Kings in the 15 - 20 lb range...then we hooked that thing...Tom thinks I'm one hell of a fisherman but it seems like I do better when hes on board! Maybe he's why im lucky!

Fished Artpark on 10/25, Water below the plant was brown. Above the plant slightly greener. Hooked three fish landed one big laker. I didn't catch any steel, but I did see two small ones landed on shore. I'll be back out in a few weeks.

Hey Jason, if you need a fishing partner some time call Bob (Alan's friend) 646 9724. Still have that seat pedistal you want to sell? Have ya been out lately? Like to bring my 16" Starcraft up there, but I could use advise on how to fish. Hope to talk to ya soon. Have a Happy Thanksgiving'

small stickbaits. gold/orange j9 rapalas are a staple trolling the lower Catt and harbor for steel in the fall.

Thanks for the comeback, my paartner said it was going to be bad weather so we cancelled, but will keep that in mind for later.

Looking to go out Tuesday to troll for steelies in the creek or at the mouth weather permitting..Should I troll with spoons and spinners or three way with egg sacs? Any advice would be deeply appreciated..GO BILLS

I preferred the Zebco 202, haven't lost a fight with a bluegill yet. Can't go wrong for the money. You know what I mean tightpockets?

Fished 5-8 PM, east of the red can, 130-200 fow, surface temp from 49.5-51 F. Wind 15-20 out of the west. Ended the day 4 for 10 and lost 2 right at the back of the boat all fish between 8 and 15 lbs. Fish came off of the downriggers, and dipseys I believe they were split 5 and 5. Red coyote with green atomik fly and Mt. Dew. Spindoctor with Atomik No-See-Um off the riggers 45 down. Purple frog and Watermelon NKs off the dipseys 105-135 back on a 2.5 setting. Trolled with the wind today and saved a little gas.

[[ Nice job young man. We were out there during the day, caught two small cohoes and lost two kings. I lost a great fighter at the back of the boat. Really enjoyed the fight.

Nice job Justin, Alan and I (BOB) didn't catch anything yesterday. Alan let one break his line. Marked tons of bait and fish, but they must have had lockjaw. Later Bro...........

I would say the further East you go from the Niagara the better right now. Last week there was a lot of ice in the lake from the river. The warmer water seems to be East. Irondequoit Bay area has been hot. CBish had a good report from Oak Orchard yesterday.

Thanks for the come back.

I'm looking to get out at the end of the week for brown trout and would like to know where my best luck might be? Olcott, Wilson or Oak Orchard where would be my best bet and any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Happy Easter.

How shallow would you troll the shoreline?

Hey amigo, I fish out of the Fort quite a bit, either there or out of Olcott. Welcome aboard

Thanks for the reply Adam. Hope to talk to ya on the radio this spring. My name is Old Amigo. I just sold my 21' Trophy just like yours last year. Couldn't get anybody to fish with and was to big to handle for myself. Hated to do it cause I loved it. Can't wait for the spring derby. Tight lines buddy........ Adios

Been having bad luck the last couple of years out of Youngstown on the bar. Perhaps this year will improve. Usually fish the spring and summer derby's. Hopefully going to the coop Sunday for the instructional seminars. Anybody know where the coop is? Thanks for looking and hope to enjoy this site for a long time. ADIOS
