Justin, I'm going to give it a try tomorrow but unfortunately Wed and Thurs.are bad for me. Give me a call and we can set something up.

Justin, You're welcome to meet me at Mexico or Henderson sometime and give the salmon a try.Lake trout action is good now but salmon is still somewhat spotty. Let me know if you want to join me. I like to fish 3 people on the Lake so you could either bring a buddy or I'll bring someone. I may run down tomorrow or later in the week. A couple more weeks and the salmon action should be more consistent.

Hit the river about 4:30 and fished till 8:00. Only had 3 hits and caught a smallmouth, a short walleye and one about 5 lbs. Seems like the full moon bite i experienced last week has slowed or perhaps I need to be out there from 2;00-6:00. I'm thinking of running to Mexico tomorrow and try the trout and salmon..

I took a friend from church and stationed at Fort Drum out very early this morning on the river (3:00 am) We caught 4 and lost 2 more and were off the river by 6:00 He then picked up his daughter and we fished Butterfield Lake for bass but only caught 3 so hit another lake for panfish and caught a nice bunch, I think it's now nap time!

Oswego 7/14-7/15

Sounds like a great way to break in your new ride. -
I actually run 10-12 lb. Big Game mono on line counters when using boards with long leads running crank and stick baits when fishing big open water like Quinte in the fall or Lake Ontario in the spring. I use a swivel and about 3-4' of flouro leader or no leader. I also use a snap for the ease of quickly changing lures I use the same rigs running spoons and sticks for shallow spring browns on the lake but use snap swivels on spoons. On the river I use spinning reels on long rods when longlining cranks. I run 20lb. fireline or power pro and 20 lb. flouro leader due to zebra mussels. I often use split shot ahead of the swivel not only to get deeper but to keep weeds and water fleas off the lure. Longlining works for me in depth inside 35 ' The river is very different with constantly changing current, and structure that often limit you to short trolls using shorter line lengths. That's one reason I often use very heavy bottom bouncers, heavy braid, 25 Lb. flouro leader and stout gear in deeper water where I sometimes troll in 40 fow or deeper with current. (Not a fun or easy way to fish but it can be effective)

I couldn't agree with sk8man more. Some days it just isn't going to happen. Fortunately with experience those days become less frequent and we know Justin has experience.

I saw some nice gills off a dock a few days ago and took my neighbor kids (age 4 and 2) over tonight .They had a ball and caught 28 and a bonus bass. They watched me fillet them up and took home a couple meals of nice fillets. David ask his mom if we could do it again tomorrow before bed. I think I'm building some future fisher persons.

I fished Chippewa today and didn't catch or see any bass shallow. I did find bass out in 25 fow chasing bait and breaking on the surface. I didn't have any top waters but wonder if I could have got them up top.even in the deep water. I. also marked a bunch of fish in that depth and caught a couple decent ones trolling TD 9. I'd say they are off the bed and I would look for them in the 20-30 foot range.

I frequently fish the near Alexandria Bay and have many posts over the years on fishing the river. There are many techniques that work. Black bucktails tipped with a piece of worm, worm and spinners off bottom bouncers, jigging spoons, trolling with down riggers, deep diving cranks or heavy bottom bouncers can all be effective. Fish current breaks in 20-40 fow ( 30-35 seems to be best for me) and look for pods of bait. It's not easy fishing and requires some practice as you are often fishing in heavy current with a changing bottom contour and usually need to be near bottom so expect to loose some gear to zebra mussel cut offs. I also do better fishing in low light conditions and often do well at night when no one is on the water.send me a pm if you want to get additional information.
