Ogdensburg, Oswego, Chaumont and Black River Bay all can be good in May. I’ve caught good ones at each place. The 1000 Island area seems more productive latter in the year from my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We fished from West of Catfish to Port Ontario all water was clear but in front of Salmon river. There we found water to 50 degrees and colored but still no hits. Most of the rest of the places we tried had clear water 45-47 degrees. Fished mostly 5-20 fow but did try out to 25 fow. Tried speeds from 1.8-2.4 and leads back to 150 “ and various colors of sticks and spoons. Ran an 8 rod spread and never moved a rod in 4 hours.

I thought it would be tricky getting out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wondering how the trip out to the lake is. Can be even pretty shallow under normal conditions. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I think some of the post on eating raw freshwater fish scare people off. It’s very easy to make and tasty but need to follow recommendations. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I had to set my freezer to coldest setting to get the required -4 degree F. Left it for a week to kill any possible parasites. Very easy to make and a good end product. I also bought a special set of tweezers call an Easy Boner for removing the pin bones that works well. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It was a little windy but we still had a great outing on the river. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just check the weather and avoid strong W NW or SW winds. Lighter wind or winds out of S or E should be no issue. I fish my 18’ Lund Alaskan with no issues. Just avoid fishing in waves over 2’ as it isn’t very comfortable although the boat can handle it. Also you won’t need to be far off shore fishing browns. Windfinder.com is a pretty decent source for wind speed, direction and wave heights. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

From my research the risk is low to begin with. In addition freezing to -4 F for 7 days kills any potential parasites ( make sure your freezer is set this cold)and the salt kills and bacteria so should be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Was thinking even if you could launch at Stony it might be pretty shallow journey out to the lake same with Pine Grove. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
