  1. 7’1”MH Spinning rod 40 sized reel 20lb braid 15lb flouro leader jigging spoons for the win
  2. Ended up 5/8 on kings today jigging and missed another 3 hits. Biggest two were right at 20 pounds. So much fun on light tackle
  3. My son wanted to catch salmon yesterday after I got done with work, so we hooked the boat up and headed of for two hours. I didn’t feel like rigging the boat for trolling, so we just grabbed the jigging gear again. Ended up 2/3. My son got to witness some amazing runs and the true power of a king on conventional tackle. The first one we got jumped three times during the fight. Pretty awesome sight!
  4. Isaac and I hit the water this AM before work in hopes to get on the first light jig bite. It did not disappoint. I think we finished 6/12 with another handful of fish that hit and didn’t connect. That open water jig bite is definitely a lot of fun. The last one I got almost ripped the rod out of my hand on the hit. All around beautiful morning!
  5. No, 30 pound wire has a higher breaking strength of 50lb fluro. Just like 30 pound mono would break way before 30 pound braid?
  6. Has anyone ever tried running 50lb fluro from diver to flasher. I fish with a lot of inexperienced fisherman, and I’m sick of losing flasher flys with the 25lb leader lol.
  7. Took my dad, one of his friends, and his friends grandson out before work this morning. We fished till 8. We had a case of the drops this morning, but the trip resulted in double digit hookups and some nice fish to the boat. Got out again this afternoon after work with the boys! We did a mix of jigging and trolling, and did another 20 bites. That jig bite is a lot of fun! Great day to be on the water
  8. What is that smudge on Tommy’s upper lip? lol. Nice job out there this morning!
  9. This is the first one I have had with a lamprey attached this year
  10. I was brought back to reality this morning. Had a co-worker out today and he had a good time, but a very average trip to say the least. Still did double digit bites……just nothing compared to how it’s been for me. I just couldn’t get it together lol. I talked to a few guys who still had a great morning though! They weren’t wanting carbon 14, arctic ice, or uv green jeans today. Those three have been on fire for me lately. Riggers were relatively quiet all morning. Wires cleaned up. Deep rig tackle fake meat took our biggest fish again.
  11. Does anyone know what this is?
  12. I had hits on three style jigs today. I don’t necessarily know that it matters. Just use 1.5 to 2 oz jigging spoons in your usual king colors. My luck came on big sweeps up and they all hit on the fall
  13. With the amount of kings in the lake this year, this is the year to try it!
  14. With a few buddies getting a couple kings jigging as of late, I had to give it a try. Spent 3 hours this morning and had 5 hits and one hook up. Pretty awesome fight!
  15. I got home from work and my son said he really wanted to go salmon fishing. Got the stuff packed up and head out. Rods set around 7pm and got a good 2 hours in. Definitely not as fast and furious as this morning, but we had a nice pick while we were out there. Fished 100 to 160 and pulled fish at all depths. My son loved it. As soon as we packed the boat up and got in the car to leave to head home, my son says “Dad, I really want to go salmon fishing on Lake Ontario again” lol. I told him it won’t be an issue! Good luck to everyone getting out tomorrow
