Great report. I must not have been near you guys.....did not hear you cheering! 8^) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I did not make it out quite that far (to about 360ft)....did see a couple of boats out further...until the fog rolled in! Nice job finding them with the mess the winds left us with. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice job! I started unhooking the same way for lakers, skippy salmon and smaller steelhead. I notice a much shorter revival time and healthier swim away ....and a cleaner boat (no laker crap). However, I did have a larger steelhead that was not completely played out throw a tornament rig and embed the hook in my knuckle last year (had to cut it out)..so be careful.

Solo trip this morning. Discovered my GPS was dead in my Humminbird, so no autopilot to start. Started in 80ft of water trolled north. Found a slight thermal break from about 53 degrees to 50 degrees at about 100ft. It was pretty warm (47) clear to the bottom, but managed a couple salmon (8-10lb) and a several small steelhead (3-4lbs). Had a salmon and steelhead double at one point….would have made a good YouTube video….solo, no autopilot, switching back and forth, rod over rod……can’t believe I actually landed them both. It shut down about 7, so I headed deeper. Fish, caught on riggers (down and sliders) and 300 copper; wonderbread, mixed veggie, and NK28 orange crush spoons. Next break was 50 degrees to 46 degrees (maybe around 130ft?), this had some colder water under it and some nicer steelhead (5-7lbs). Had 5 on, landed only 3. They put up nice aerial battles….was going to throw them back anyway so did not mind. No salmon. These came mostly on the sliders, orange spoons. At about 160+ft there was another break from 46 degrees to 43 degrees. I was marking suspended fish, but all I could catch were lakers…..even on sliders trolling 3mph. They were pretty nice size…but. Caught on white/green dot protroll and green fly; orange crush. One thing I noticed today were a lot of “mini†streakers on the sonar. Finally caught one, a skippy king. Another fun day, but where are all the bigger kings?!

Great job as usual.....it's killing me not being able to go out this weekend! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Traffic was not bad, just higher than normal for a weekday. I only went out to about 110ft....it was 39-40 degrees surface to near bottom. It can change so quickly who knows what it will be like tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks to the great reports from last evening I had a pretty good idea where to start this morning........30-60ft from the bay to just past shipbuilders. Had 2 lines in at 6:15am in about 50ft, and as I was putting the third in, got a rip on the rigger....teen king. It was a feeding frenzy for till about 8. Went 4-6, landing two teen kings and two decent lakers. (Lost fish felt like teen kings) They hit mixed veggie, generic green spoon, and 42nd spoon on riggers at 45ft and cheaters. It was dead for a while and the boat traffic was increasing so I decided I would go out deeper and look for a thermal break and some bigger kings....big mistake, waste of an hour and a half. Barren screen temp 39-40 top to bottom out to 100+ft Came back in shallow 35-50ft. Temp 52+ on top but dropped quickly to 42 down ~12ft. The bite was pretty steady, landing 3 more teen kings and a laker. Two of the kings came on 3 color leadcore.....the others on riggers, Lures same as before. There was no indication the bite was going to slow, but I had an appointment so I picked up about 11:30. Ended the day 8 for 10 and had a lot of fun with a double at one point early. (That's my excuse for losing one of the fish!) No photos as most fish were in the 12-15lb range and I wanted to get them back in the water quickly.

Hopefully the steelhead will start showing up in greater numbers! Another great day for you! Nice job.
