Port Ontario
Kevin J Legg replied to Kevin J Legg's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Sounds like you had a great day! Thanks for getting back to me. -
Fished off my Canadian buddies boat out of Port Ontario this morning from 6:15-10:30. Ran to the dunes and set up in 135 fow. Warm water down deep. Trolled north and finally hit some colder water 45 degrees 100 feet over 140. Took a small king on FF back 300 on dipsey and a laker off a spoon on rigger set at 100'. Decide to leave around 10:30 as weather was looking questionable. My buddy did much better fishing out deeper going 12 for 13 all on copper and dipsey a none off riggers.

I agree that this seems like a good idea with decreasing number of birds.

Fished this morning and got two walleyes off the bottom bouncer around 21" each. Also caught a 17" smallmouth on the longline. Didn't start fishing till nearly 5:00 and caught both walleyes by 5:30. A little slow this morning and the current was running hard weeds were not to bad. Forgot to take a photo. -

I don't even though I have Nexus card, it is still a hassle to call in. I catch all I need within a mile or so of A Bay on US side. -
I have fish Quinte in spring and fall and up by Kingston late summer but it's easy to stay home this time of year.

Talked to a friend that said they hit them good jigging last night.

One other thing to note is that even though we depend on DEC to set regulations to protect populations, by the time a population is noted as declining the new set regulations may be a knee jerk reaction and to late. I wouldn't mind seeing a one fish (over 26"or so) rule enacted, similar to what they use in Quinte.

Was great meeting Prof T. I didn't realize he and his dad were pike legends I had followed from articles read many years ago. He was kind enough to not mention he out fished me 4 to 2 and that I lost one just behind the boat or we would have both limited out. Evidently he is a quick study and has added his own twist to the bottom bouncing technique. I've been fortunate to meet some great people from friendships I have made on this forum! I'm sure Prof T and I will share many times on the water! Walleyes take notice!

Certainly a touchy topic. When I fish for trophies in the late fall in Quinte we release all the big female fish but keep smaller eaters. I generally release the real big ones in Lake Ontario and on the river. However, I sometimes take friends and relatives that seldom get to fish and if they want to keep the fish to eat or mount I let them. I also feel the lake and river walleye fishery is in pretty good shape. There seems to be a healthy population from the lake to Massena. I'm pretty careful with what I take when fishing smaller bodies of water.

Very nice

Not any moss problems but there was some weeds. Fish were 18, 19 and 28".

Back at it this morning. Pick two up at 4:45 and then went a long time with only a smallmouth. At 7:30 picked up another and right after that got the big girl suspended on a long line in 50 fow. 3 keepers and a throw back.

Nice -
Haven't fished the river in a week. Gone for the weekend but back on Sunday. Still need to get out together. Glad you're still on them and moss is less of an issue. Looking forward to fishing next full moon! -
Went back today and only caught a few and no big ones. That's fishing,

Gave the walleyes a rest and hit a lake this morning. Tried the top water bite early and never had a hit in the shallows. Picked up a friend and we worked the deèper weed lines and had a nice morning. Caught 4 over 17" that we releases. Kept some smaller ones to eat. Likely caught around 25 total mostly on Senkos An osprey was diving trying to take a baby loon but mommy was protecting it by raising her wings and swimming a the osprey. Great morning.

There is a dark moss on the bottom in shallower water but this is the first year I've experience a lot floating green moss. As water warms spiny water fleas can become troublesome as in the lake. They glob up on your line. They only started showing up in the river a couple years ago. They can be a big problem in the lake and often require using 30 lb. mono or flea flicker line.
-
Lots of moss both floating and on bottom.
-
I completely agree. I too would rather jig or cast but personally haven"t found it as productive, perhaps I need to experiment with it more. -
I got skunked this morning. Tried trolling everything but no takers. However, there was a great sunrise!
-
Have had many tangles figuring it out. I tried running a stick near the weight and a spoon up a foot this morning but they tangled. Guess I need to move them farther apart. I keep experimenting when I can't get them to hit.
-
Nice I fished 4:00- 7:00 this morning and never had a hit!

Mosquitos have been bad early and late. Bug spray and Therma Cell relieve the problem.
