So u think the king fishing is better closer to Oswego ? Have u fished for them out of sodus?

I'm sorry I ment in sept they will stage in close to run. Well it is what it is , I will give it a shot this year fishing that area. I'm sure there will be some fish in that area. Any avice or suggestions on where to go out the cut would be greatly appreciated ..

Liking story short my wife got it for me for my B day. Rented it for a week cause I have talked about staying at the lake for a week to fish kings. So because of that I would never say or change anything. I'm trying to figure out how the fishing would be in that part of the lake (sodus) the 1 st week of sept and worse came to worse I could run to Oswego since I have fished them before there for yrs.

I rented a house for the 1st week of sept in sodus bay. Planing on fishing all week (weather permitting) . My question is being late season when the fish are staging if I have to make the runs to oswego every day would it be productive to troll all the way or just blast over there ? I have never fished that area only fished oswego and Pulaski over past 20yrs. I have never stayed in sodus but decided to so that I could have my boat in the water . I'm hoping I didn't make a bad decision by renting here. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated . John

Fished all day ended up 5/5. Steels and lakers.. Very tuff bite today. Fish came on riggers (down 50) and dips out 220. All spoons. Round 2 today.

Thx for ur help .

So I went to the web site. But it doesn't say the ramp is closed or that u can't launch. Is it just because there will be tons of people ? I was planing on launching Sunday morning. I'm not familiar with fair-haven or any other launch.

What's harbor fest and why can't we launch out of Oswego ??

Thx boys

Can any one tell me if there are any bait shops in or close to Oswego ?

I tried short leader and didn't seem to make a difference . I just think they were hitting the fly's and not gettin hooked

I have seen those videos . And I agree with your thoughts. It's just frustrating because we had the potential to boat tons of fish. We seem to have the right set ups working just couldn't keep them on. I tried slowing down , sizing up and down on the hooks , even replaced some of the trebles with single hooks. Witch I might add worked the 1st time we did it but the next hit .. On for 1 min and gone! Hahah next couple weeks should be interesting since the bite was hot and fish seem to be getting unpredictable as far as temp and water depth..

Just got back this morning from 1-1/2 days on water. Fished in front of stacks in 120. Managed 6 kings all 15-30 lbs. took hits on dipseys and riggers didn't keep track but do know most hits were in the 60-70 ft depth over 120fow. Lots of boats in side in 80-100 so we decided to fish on the out side of them instead of zig zagging every one. Good thing because we had non stop action. One interesting thing was we had ALLOT of hits on riggers and dip and no one home . Hooks were sharp and berried in clips. It was weird we would grab rod feel the fish for a couple seconds while the drag would scream and boom gone! This happened 2 dozen times at least. Boat speed was only 2.5 to 2.8 ... On well had a blast anyway. Hope this helps u guys out there. Oops almost forgot on riggers they were hitting anything black and purple (spoons) on dips it was FF glow dot and green fly.

On lake O better not to read weather report. It's always wrong...

I have learned so many times not to trust the reports on weather. I drive 4 hrs one way to fish a couple days and more often then not its blowing 20 plus... Go figure only job in the world u can be wrong all the time and still keep that job!!

Fished all day Friday 6am- 3 , NoTHiNG!! Temp 70deg from top to bottom. Couldn't find any good temps. 180-300. Radio talk sounded like every one having same prob. And yes weather jerks called for 5-10 , one foot or less and sure as **** it was 10-20 in the am and 2-4 with some big rollers mixed in all morning. Gonna give a few more weeks and try my luck again.
