Usually the biggest issue in the spring is floating debris, especially when motoring out in the morning.

Nice job! Good to see some salmon around, hopefully its a sign of another great year in the Mexico area.

Launched out of Mexico around 10:30 Saturday morning and headed west, setting up at the "A" frame. Didn't move a rod until we got a little West of the plant. Water temp prior to the plant was 42-44 degrees in the 15-20 fow range. Once we got west of the plant, water temp jumped to 53-55 degrees in 20-30 fow and the fishing turned on. Ended up 5 for 8, with one cookie cutter and 4 quality browns. 3 fish came off the riggers on spoons, 2 off the boards on sticks. Anything green uv or glow seemed to be our best baits. Turned out to be a pretty good shakedown run for us. Hope the fishing continues to be good throughout the Eastern basin this year.

Everything that has been posted is absolutely true, however, the weather can also change. One thing I've learned during my 15+ years is that Lake Ontario is a fickle lady. She can go fro dead calm to nasty in very little time, and vice versa. Also, it is difficult to predict the weather/waves accurately several day out. Don't give up hope, but a backup plan is never a bad idea either! Good luck if you get out.

Be aware guys, the low life's are at it again at the upper fly zone parking lot. Had a rod/reel jacked from the back of the truck. They pryed open the tonneau cover and grabbed an LL BEAN rod with an Orvis reel. Guess it could of been worse, there were 3 other rods back there. They must of gotten spooked. We wouldn't be as pissed about it, but the combo belong to a friend of ours who has since passed away. Kinda sucks, and stings a bit. Two years ago they stole a soft sided cooler out of our truck. Pretty disappointing that nothing seems to be getting done about the rash of thefts in that area. We've learned our lesson. We will no longer keep anything in the truck. If we break a rod/reel, we'll head back to camp and get a replacement. Be aware guys, there are people out there who apparently need fishing gear and will stop at no means to get it.

I know this isn't a fishing report, but thought I'd send out a congrats to the Endwell little league team on winning the Little League World Series. What an awesome run, didn't loss a game all year. With the proximity of Endwell (just west of Binghamton ) to the lake, figure they may be some people out there who may know these young players. It's an amazing accomplishment!

Pulled the first tick of the season off my daughter yesterday, and had two more climbing on me. Going to be a rough year, especially for spring gobbler season. Looks like I should get a few opossums!

Should be good through the month of May into early June. All of this is dependent on weather/wind, but fish are always around. May have to move out into deeper water, but they are there. Search for temp break/ mud line.

Most of our action came with a surface temp between 45 and 48. Didn't run the probe, only in 8 fow.

Fished Saturday morning, set up at "A" frame on a west troll is 5-8 fow. Had a pretty nice mud line set up. Had first rod fire while still setting up, nice little cromer to start the morning. Typically that's not a good sign for us, but turned out to be a pretty good day. Ended up 8 for 14, with a mix of browns and steelhead, with one nice 5 lb smallie(released of course!). Most fish coming off the boards on anything with orange in it. Rattlin Rogue smithwick in smoke/orange was definately our best producer. Took one fish off the rigger on a purple glow frog stinger. Numbers would have been better, but had some problems with our clips on the boards. Time to get rid of the old "alligator" clips! Sunday morning the mud line was gone. Started in the same area on a west troll in 8-10 fow. Hit a few cookie cutter browns, then decided to run down to the high rocks. Came back on an east troll and did a little better, but dealt with more boat traffic. Ended the morning bringing 7 browns to the net, dropping a few behing the boat. Ran the same program as Saturday. Overall a good weekend for our "shakedown" trip.

Sailflow is pretty good, along with the ones mentioned above.
