We also caught some very nice fish! I crewed for guide Dave Siegfried of Tracker Charters. Friday in a prefish tourney we finished 8th (paid first 5 places) . It was a three fish derby and we entered 2 kings and a steelhead and totaled 7 fish. A third king would have put us in the money. Saturday we fished the Pro division and had a tough day. We hit a king early and then went three hours without a hit. We ended up with one king, a coho, and 4 steelhead. Sunday started out great as we were hooked up 3 minutes after the start. We landed a nice king and looked for more on the inside but came up empty. We headed deeper and hit a couple steelhead and a coho and then hit another king.. The next fish was a 23lb. king, a beautiful fish that may be headed to the taxidermist. We needed a couple more Kings to make the short box board. (heaviest 5 fish) Dave worked his butt off and we did pretty well but didn't manage to cash in. I'm sure we could have caught more fish but we were targeting Kings for the shot box.I gained a great deal of experience and coaching on rigging and running down-riggers, wire divers, 300 and 400' copper-lines and lead cores. It's amazing that you can run so many deep running rigs with very few tangles. I also learned a lot about rigging, fighting and netting salmon and steelhead. Very few fish that we hooked up were lost. I also got an education on boat control, as I drove quite a bit on Friday and Sunday. If anybody is looking to book a trip on the west end of the lake I'd highly recommend Tracker Charters. He is very personable, experienced, knowledgeable, and is a great teacher. He keeps a nice clean boat and is precise in the details. I have fished my entire life and guided on the St Lawrence River for many summers. I also chase the browns at Mexico and do some trout and salmon fishing on the lake. That said, I learned a tremendous amount spending a weekend fishing with Dave. If you want to improve your learning curve I'd definitely recommend booking a trip with a pro. ====================

That is a big one. They sure put up a good battle. I often think I'm tangling with a big walleye on when I hook one. They are one of those Rodger Dangerfield fish that gets no respect

Grenadier and Fox are both in New York. Charity Shoal is another spot you want to explore a little further out from Grenadier.

I also believe it is an individual decision as long as one remains within their legal limit. That said, I fish the BOQ in the fall and the St Lawrence, Henderson and Oswego. We choose to release nearly all fish over about 24". We catch many over 30" and almost all are returned. I also prefer to eat the smaller fish as they are much better to eat and contain less toxins. I support letting the breeders go but am not oppose to someone keeping a trophy for the wall. Legal policies are formulated by the DEC and politicians but ethical decisions are made by individuals. I'm not sure what I'd do myself if I hit one 14 or 15lbs.

Great bunch of fish especially on a fly rod. When I was a kid we use to get some big ones in Honeoye and later in Saratoga Lake They are lots of fun and great eating.

Should be good out of Henderson. Stony and Calf Island and further out to Charity Shoal and False Ducks. Bay of Quinte is definately a good bet but not till late fall (Nov.-Dec.)Also don't overlook the St Lawrence River. I catch there pretty well in late July and August.

After hitting the sea bass hard on jigs and plastic for three mornings I decided to try a different technique. I used a 2 oz. jigging spoon and absolutely slayed them. We ended up with 130 fish in the freezer for our four day effort and limited out each day. Today we were keeping the larger males and they likely averaged 3lbs. or more each. I'm packed up and we're headed home in the morning with a cooler full of delicious fillets.

Cleavland Light and old canal.

Sea bass are bottom fish and a boat is generally required. Great opprotunity fishing for Stripers and bluefish are possible from the shore or wading on many areas on the Cape. The Cape Cod Canal is alos a good accessi point. You might want to check out "On The Water Outdoors" on the web.

My wife and I made a run to visit my brother on Cape Cod. We found a great Black Sea Bass bite on plastics and jigs. We've limited out each morning and today caught our four person limit of 40 fish by 8:00. They are running 2.5-4 lbs. and are delicious eating fish. We have 100 packaged for the freezers.Plan to hit them agasin in the morning. I love it when you go to a differentregion and actually kick the natives butt. ====================

Thanks for the report. I'll hav e to get out when I return from Cape Cod.

I fished Rays Bay near Henderson yesterday and caught 5 browns and a whitefish in a few hours fishing. Ran to Sackets and tried the walleyes but didn't move a rod.

Ran back toward Rays Bay and started hitting a few in 17-25 fow. Caught some on riggers set at 17 feet and one on 4 color leads core. Also caught one off a board with 3 large split shot. All on spoons. Decided to pull and run to Sackets at 10:00 and try the walleyes.. Bad call, fished from 25-60 fow and never moved a rod. SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ====================

Yea, in Chesapeake by James Michner they shot them off the roost by moonlight! At least I let him fly out to the ground.

Thanks for the report . Headed out tomorrow.

Headed down tomorrow or Tuesday. Nice to see the kings are still in the area.

Hit about 15 crappies by myself yesterday along with an equal number of bluegills.

Smithwicks, Jointed Rapallas for browns and I have great success on Stinger spoons. Straight 18 Rapallas, Husky jerks, Reef runners, Shad raps for walleyes depending on targeted depth.

Nitro Musky is correct. Although an occasional musky is caught in the Alex Bay area in the summer it is nothing I would attempt to target. I've fished here regularly for nearly 40 years and have only caught a handful. Late fall is when the guides target them and they do troll for them. Better off targeting pike , walleye or bass if they are in season.

Fished with a buddy today and ended up 4 fish shy of the 50 fish limit. Crappies have turned very dark in color and are in the shallows.

I'd head to Black River Bay and troll in the 30-50 fow range using a variety of sticks and cranks off boards. Keep lures in the 10-25' range. Might even get bonus pike or browns

Nice fish. Now I've just got to get out there and figure out the right combo!

Lisbon Beach, north of Ogdensburg, was good opening weekend. (Many people fish the Canadian side by the Starch Plant). Black River Bay, Chamount Bay and Pillar Point area are also good. As Ryan said the Alex Bay area is better a bit later in the year but all the mentioned areas are good early spots and also are good areas for big fish. Lisbon is mostly a jig and jigging spoon bite, while the other areas are usually fished with worm harnesses, stick baits and crank baits while trolling. All are within an hour of A bay. If your sticking in the A Bay area I'd fish perch, crappie, pike and bullhead. Check with the 1000 Island Bait Store on whats happening.
