Made it to town on Friday in time to fish for a few hours. 10 seconds after setting the first rigger down 50’ in 150’ we had the first (dink but legal) king and let him go. Every color spoon we put down hooked up fish, but the little guys seemed to prefer large and obnoxious and the bigger fish took more natural standard dreamweaver spoons. Biggest fish came on a dipsey with a spin doctor. The best part was NOBODY else was out on the lake. Most likely at the Captains meeting for the Pro-Am.

 

Saturday Morning started slow, extremely slow. Started in 220’ and hit some spots from last weekend but couldn’t turn a bite in 3 hours. Marked a lot of fish, but no takes. A few groups of boats were in the 110’-150’ range but we decided to go deeper. Good choice. 9:15 - Noon was steady action. Only 3 under 20”. Best water was 350’, 400’, and 500’ - anywhere from 50’-110’ down took good kings.

 

Saturday afternoon I flew solo from 2:30 PM to 8PM and decided to stay close and grind the water other boats pounded all day. 100’-135’ had sporadic groups of fish and good bait - most being between the 60’-70’ range. Took two nice kings in 110’ down 70’ fairly quickly (except the fight) on a standard Dreamweaver green jeans and an 8” white/pearl spin doctor. Around 6PM I switched to purple colored spoons and the browns were chewing good in the same water - with some small kings mixed in.

 

Sunday Morning - My wife and I started in close at 110’ with a few good marks mixed with the browns. She landed a few browns and missed/lost a few, and then we headed out deeper. The fish in 250’ were still there but couldn’t get big bites (only little guys). After a couple hours with no big boys I decided it was time to start over. I brought in the lines, shut the boat off, took a swim, and then re-rigged. A few minutes after setting the first rigger down 55’ in 315’ it was “kind of” game on for 1 1/2 hours (11AM - 12:30PM) with mature kings. Most were lost. The kings we landed or saw were not hooked inside the mouth, but rather in the cheek or under the jaw. Dreamweaver Get R Done had 7 fish during that time, NBK had 2. 50’-55’ down was key for us. We also shortened the distance from the ball to 10’ and 15’.

 

Thanks for reading,

Depends how tall. There is a bridge that limits height. 

Do you know the clearance under that arch Thanks in advance

Can you launch from the north end if you have a hardtop

Jermery treasure every memory you have with them because they will be grown & moved away 

sooner than we think

I would put a  go-pro in the truck facing out the back on the bed liner & catch these SOBs

I myself would not waste my time with them better things to use 

Gator how old are you I am 62 fishing the lake since 77 have seen many changes since some good some not so much but we still have a great fishery here. What we also could use here is some new genes from kings from Alaska as DEC is not taking the cream of the crop to stock in the lake

I do not think we will ever have the massive numbers of alewives we had say in the 80s but will also never crash like they did in to rest of the Great Lakes but I think we are having a more diverse biomass of bait fish for the salmon & trout to prey on so if we can come up with a atlantic salmon fishery lets do it long live the Atlantic

All you have to look to is the Lake Superior State College stocking of Atlantic Salmon in to the Great Lakes this program is doing great strong for thirty years something must be right here 

This area off here is a good starting point to look for the schools

My friend set them years ago & did very well set near the shore he set his off Long Point

You said it Leadcore troller

Go out & fish them small spoons on Skaneateles .

Not sure I'm sold guys. Trolling for kings the fish is always in a 3mph current behind the boat that makes a fish seem to fight mor than it really does. I like to jig kings and on a drift they quit pretty easy too. Of course, that's my experience and everyone else's might not be the same.

 

What say we just pour a lot of salt in the lake and put in reef donkeys? Ain't nuthin' pulls like an AJ, lol.

Spring kings are off the charts hook one & you will soon find out why they are called kings

Thank meat looks beautiful & I am sure is going to taste just great enjoy

There is a place here for our Atlantic Salmon just as there is a place for Kings , coho, steelhead & brown trout we as fishermen must keep our elected officials accountable for the will of the people & be happy for the great fishery we have here

Can you tell us what it is called

Thanks to All!

Very entertaining and exciting fish fight!

The fleas were there but the nasty little bugs were brutal!

i have been treating my lines with this stuff made from bees wax, it really helps with the fleas.

comes in a jar like a honey jar, sold as a lubricant for guns, Reels etc

A guy told me to use it for fleas and it works!

The creek has bigger ones than that

I caught one out of Seneca years ago that was 10 lbs plus near samson state park it was a beautiful fish which I could find the picture of it

Beautiful rainbow this lake has some great rainbows but Canandaigua is a better lake for quality rainbows

Those Atlantic are sure fun fish just wish we saw more of them

Kempie what is the pound test of the blood run sea flea line thanks in advance

We just need to make sure everyone you bring on board goes back in many pieces & to voice our options about the treatments so that they do something
