Need to get lures in the 25-40 fow range near bottom.Deep divers alone often will not go deep enough so need to run downriggers or added weight. Generally we use braid with fluorocarbon leaders. Colors can vary but firetiger is a good starting point. Fish the current where flats drop to deeper water near the channel and 30-35 fow is generally good. Early morning and evening are prime times as is night. Seldom catch many during the day. May catch them long lining deep divers in 18-25 fow at night when they move up on flats. Bucktails, bladebaits, and jigging spoons will also take fish using a controlled drift with electric motor. Look for bait and fish on graph. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My friend caught this walleye near Ogdensburg last week. Very strange. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

6-8’ leader. Need headlight for nighttime netting. Love cranking them up and seeing glowing eyes and white tip on tail! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Going to visit my kids tomorrow so hit the river early this morning. Limited out by 4:30am. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The Chaumont area has lots to offer for outdoor activity. Not to far from salmon and trout in Lake Ontario. Good walleye, bass and perch fishing on Chaumont Bay. Close to St Lawrence river and Indian River Lakes and Perch Lake which are all good for ice and open water fishing. Lots of State parks and nature trails also available. The area also offers excellent waterfowl, deer, and turkey hunting. I’ve lived in the Alex Bay area for over 40 years and find it to be an outdoor paradise, particularly if you don’t mind the winters and icefish.

Sorry to hear of your boat loss but you were prepared and that likely saved lives. As Prof T said we fish the river a lot at night and wear inflatables which are very comfortable. A great reminder that things can go bad quickly and the big lake can be unforgiving. Hope your able to recover from this and get back on the water in the future!
