My wife and I try to fish opening day together when possible. We had a beautiful morning with plenty of fish and fishermen.we kept a mixed limit and released several others including a big largemouth. Since I usually fish walleyes I don’t mind taking an occasional limit of bass. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don’t believe so. I’ve had many fish hit when reeling in another and you generally know it. They often hang on till you get them to the net and then let go of the fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

When I was filleting this 20” walleye I caught last night I noticed it had fresh teeth marks on it’s back. Like to see the fish that tried to eat it! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What a catch!!! Where are you out of? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

After a couple tough outings I got back in the groove tonight. 27, 24, 22”. All after dark. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished last night and caught two 23” and should have limited out. Lost one at the boat and another one shortly after it hit. I marked bait where I had all 4 hits and they were all in 32-34 fow. I tried casting and drifting with Keitech jigs but didn’t have any luck. Guess I need to spend more time. I was trolling up river and jigged drifting down river. I need to just jig a couple trips but it’s tough to break from a successful technique. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Got my brother and sister in law out tonight for a couple hours. Managed to get them both into decent fish and ended up with 3. Biggest was 27”. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have a couple rigged with 1/2 and 3/4 oz heads and going to give them a try. Was going to try them tonight but got a bunch of inexperienced family coming so will stick to trolling tonight.

They didn’t want to come up for poppers this morning so I tried something different and they really hit it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

First morning I tried the walleyes on the river. Hit this one on my first pass and nothing the rest of the morning but at least that’s a start. The selfie makes this fish look bigger than the 22” it actually was . Going to try the Keitech jigs next trip and try to expand my techniques from my usual trolling. I’ve caught them many different ways but haven’t found the consistency I get trolling. I know others do very well using blades and jigs so I guess I need to put in some more time to get that down. Speaking of time, with the early sunrises and late sunsets you can really beat yourself up fishing prime times! Afternoon naps are definitely the norm.

I thought they had spawned but they are just starting to make beds. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I believe you get roughly 1/3 more meat and cooked right it’s very good! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sounds like you earned it! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

They bring out the kid in me. A good change from my more serious fishing.

Got into them again this morning. They’re hanging on the outside edge of the weed beds. I move along the edge until I visually spot them and drop anchor and fish. If bite stops I move on till I spot another bunch. Fly rod makes it fun. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We use to do that when I was a kid and they were very good but scaling is messy and time consuming. I can do them much faster with my electric knife and if frozen they take up far less room. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Tough for me to get motivated to hunt in this heat but only a few days left. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished with a fly rod with poppers on the edge of the weed and over top of them. It’s a fun way to catch them as they slurp up you’re the popper. Not a hot bite but they seem to be in scattered little schools. I kept 13 last evening and about the same this morning. Not huge ones but still got a pound of fillets both days.

Pike had a large alewife in it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

River should start soon and don’t have to drive an hour and a half. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hit Black River Bay across from Sackets this morning. We were targeting walleyes but no success. There were about 10 boats working water from 20-55 fow and we didn’t see a net moved. We did manage 3 pike and kept the two largest. Had a rip on another rod but we dropped it. Nothing on the riggers and the lead cores were most productive today. All fish came off boards.
