I fished with a couple buddies in his boat today. Headed to the Lake to try for large walleyes but ended up with two eyes around 6 lbs. and a couple of catfish caught on deep divers.

For a change of pace I went to the lake with a couple friends in his boat. We hoped to find some big eyes but ended up with two around 6 lbs. and two catfish which hit deep divers. Not the fish we were hoping to find.

Glad your on some. It's been steady here on the river but we're headed to the lake to hunt trophies today. -
Otisco lake tiger on the fly
Kevin J Legg replied to justtracytrolling's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
That sounds lke a challenge and a blast. Headed to the lake this morning to chase big eyes. -
Nice fish. Hope to be on them in the morning. -
I have an 18 foot Lund Alaskan. As trapper said during the day on it can get dicey with large wakes. If you stay in Goose or Chippewa Bay you can get by with a 14'. It's much worse from the bridge to Alex Bay particularly on weekends.

Smallmouths should be on shoals along the channel in 30 fow or more (perhaps as deep as 80 feet). Crabs and worms are working. May get largemouths on Senkos in weed pockets in shallower water. Walleyes are on channel shoals with current. Night bite is best but they can be caught early and late. Try trolling deep divers in 20-35 fow. Whiskey Island Shoal is a spot not too far from Krings that holds bass and walleyes. I haven't fished northerns but did catch one inside Diamond Island Shoal in front of Krings throwing a spoon a couple weeks ago in 20 fow. As for muskies, good luck, they're out there but not easily targeted. Most caught this time of year are caught accidentally. I've made many post on the Alex Bay region of the river you might want to check.

TD 11 is a Rapala Tail Dancer size 11 Fiserman72, I've been friends with Mike Ringer for many years. We taught together at Alex Bay for nearly 20 years and have hunted and fished together for almost 40 years. He currently has his studio in Alex Bay and a gallery in Clayton and is a very well know and successful artist. They also give you a musky print of his for a released muskie. We have also had submitted a series of humorous articles ripping on each other in the local TI Sun. ( Check out last weeks paper) I am fortunate to have number of his originals paintings gracing my walls. Not sure if he'll be doing a painting but there is a good chance that I may submit an article about our day fishing on the river in an upcoming TI Sun. -
I'm heading up toward Kingston area tomorrow in search of some of the of the big girls for a change of pace.

How big does it have to be to go to taxidermist?
Kevin J Legg replied to fbg14619's topic in Walleye
I've never had one mounted but have caught many over 10 and a few over 11. I fish areas where a 10 isn't uncommon, so for me It would have to be over 13 and then I'm not sure if I wouldn't just take a photo and release it. I catch many eaters on the river so generally release the big girls after a quick photo. However, on some bodies of water a 10 would be a fish of a lifetime, Whatever makes you happy is what I would say. When I was guiding I had clients mount 8 lb. fish. -

I was out at around 3:30 and off the river by 5:00 this morning. Same program. Tomorrow we're heading to Kingston area to fish for the bigger trophy walleyes. I'll post how we make out. -
Wire and 30lb big game
Kevin J Legg replied to RD9's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I do the same as bottom-feeder. 500 feet of wire and braid backing and haven't had any issues. -
single hooks on your spoons?
Kevin J Legg replied to tiogafishaddict's topic in Tackle and Techniques
About half mine have single hooks and they sure do tangle much less, They also store well and don't hang up in the net as has been said. -
I had no intention of fishing this morning but it was nice when I woke at 5:00 and I decided to try before church. I caught 2 eyes and a bass by 7:30. -
icedd, You can put in at Cape Vincent or one of the state park launches along route 12. Only problem being the boat traffic during day time especially down by Alex Bay on Pirates Weekend.
-
One good thing about where I fish on the river is that I can fish in just about any weather. However, I don't catch many over 8 lbs. unless I head up to the lake,
-
Not bad for a lat start. Probably just caught the tail end of it. After sun up I've been having to search deeper water. -
I decided to take the morning off as we have family visiting this weekend.
-
Good luck. The wind certainly can be a factor.
-
Congratulations,that's a very impressive, catch particularly on a cold front. Did they come from upper or lower region of the river?
-
I tried casting jigs, cranks and stick with no light this morning and got no hits. The fish were there when I looked with my light but holding a bit deeper in about 6-20 fow. I did catch my limit trolling in 30-40 fow but can't seem to consistently take them using other methods. I have sporadic success using many different techniques but can seem to find a pattern. Guess I shouldn't complain as I've had a pretty successful summer thus far. I also agree that engine noise and boat activity can have a negative affect. I usually troll 2-3 times over a spot and then hit another one. The deeper the water the less the problem. . -
Yes they were from the St Lawrence
-
Pap, Glad you're back in the boat. Hope you have a great time.

I had a friend that had all his walleye gear taken from his camp at Bay of Quinte and his homeowners took care of most of it. A trail cam might at least get a photo of the guy or a plate number of his vehicle. Wish you luck.
