Trout don’t nibble, they inhale. If you feel something, stick em. I wish Lake Ontario lakers would hit on the retrieve but those fish are so well fed you just gotta bounce it in front of them and then smack em when they hit.

Hey DJH any chance you could PM me with the setup for still fishing for Browns and rainbows?? I am so curious about that method of fishing for finger lakes trout and I will be on Seneca in two weeks. I would love to give in a shot there!

Thinking about making a trip to the bar to drift the shoals in front of the fort for smallies. Is it worth the trip? Or should I just hit Erie? Trying to maximize the fishing for the hour long drive, but if there is a decent amount of fish on the bar, I would like to give in a try.

This is why I ask! Looks like it just probably isn’t feasible on the big pong. Looks like I will stick to jigging out there, now that works pretty dang well on those big Ontario greasers!

So anyone ever drift for trout (like over 100 FOW)? I was thinking, bring four steelhead noodle rods, 10lb main lines, 1-2 oz egg sinker, swivel, three ft Fluro leader, and common shiner (sawbellies sound like a nightmare to get and keep). Drop the rigs to staggered depths, slap em in a rod holder and let the wind take it over while you crack a beer and rod watch. Anyone ever do this? I was thinking about bringing it to Lake O and seeing if I can’t get a king to take a crack at it.

Is it just me or are there wayyy more spring Kings around the south shore than in years prior? I follow many social media accounts that are just hammering Kings (almost as much as browns) all up and down the south shore of Lake Ontario. Good sign if you ask me.

Thanks!

Sounds like more of a trolling lineup

What stickbaits do you like? Husky jerks and x raps?

Hey guys, long time no post. I was looking to see if anyone had any advice on casting from a boat for Cayuga and Seneca Salmon. I want to get into these land locks. but I don’t really know where to start from a lure stand point or location wise. Kinda figured I would work down the lakeshore throwing buck tails and flukes. Specifically looking to cast and not troll. Any advice? Feel free to PM if you would rather go that route.
