Launched at Dean's before sunrise and first thing focused on fishing in close, primarily 25 feet or less. Set a rigger and it fired before I had the second rod set. First fish was a 29" Laker full of steam. The rest of the trip was hit or miss action as multiple times 2 rods would fire, then would be quiet. Sun came out strong midmorning and thought the bite would quit but found a pocket of active fish and kept circling the area and the fish kept biting. Ended up landing a batch of healthy Lakers from 24-31", and 2 decent Rainbows. Spoons on riggers and short cores were the best producers today. Felt like a midsummer morning out there today. Looking forward to more great days ahead.

Fair Haven 5/1
Reel Doc replied to Reel Doc's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Still learning the ropes fishing Ontario so I feel very fortunate to boat my first shallow King last week and then get into 2 for a newcomer yesterday. After dealing with those 2 flying around behind the boat I believe he is hooked on fishing Ontario. Glad to hear you were out and can get out again soon. Let us know what you find out there!! -

The past couple Summers I took my son and his high school buddies out on Cayuga lake for some afternoon wake boarding followed by a little trolling. His one friend Devin enjoyed it so much he was ready for more, so this morning he joined me for his first Ontario trip. Pretty chilly most of the morning from a SouthEast wind but it didn't make much wave so we were fortunate compared to those fishing farther West. Colored water extended out past 30 fow in some areas. Slow early with a few small Browns, then this 14 lb slob Brown, (the picture doesn't do the fish justice), crashed the party followed a little later by these sassy Kings. 1 King snatched a stick, otherwise all spoon bite with Orange/Green patterns dominating. Finished up with my regular trusty copilot taking her first swim of the season! A great day on the water!!

A beautiful morning at the launch, but out on the lake that SouthEast wind was nasty for most of the morning. The surf wasn't much of a problem but turns could be tricky with the gusty winds broadsiding the boat. Took some time for the fish to cooperate, but by 8:30 it was game on! Some solid Browns but no monsters. Then while finishing a 180 turn, the rigger rod started singing! Had a great time working the King in on a light Ugly Stik set up. It did the "shark-in-the-water" hover about 15-20 feet behind the boat 4 different times, and when I tried to bring it to net range would peel off 50 feet or so. Fifth time was the charm as it was finally played out. Found a few more Browns, all but 1 taking spoons off rigger or 2 color along with this stick snatcher. A great morning to enjoy some fishing!!

A gloomy start this morning but the first chance to hit the water in quite a while so my first mate and I were determined to make the most of it. Out of Dean's by 7:30 and despite surface temperatures around 39 decided to give some flat lines a try in the shallows. Not surprised when nothing fired so slid out beyond 75 and set some Flasher/flies off dipseys to complement the rigger spoons. The lake trout were hungry from 18" on up to this over 10 lb brute that despite a stout fight and a quick weight check swam off like nothing happened. A great morning on the water.....glad to get out early as by the time I was home eating lunch the skies opened up for the better part of the afternoon.

Reel Doc replied to JJBat150's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Thanks for posting this. The report is very positive for healthy fish counts in both lakes. Looks like the new diary contributor on Hemlock had them dialed in!! -

You had a great February day to be on the water and if fish cooperated that's even better. Try posting about water pump replacement on "This Old Boat"
