Hi everyone, Finally getting back to Lake Ontario for a quick 2 day trip (Sun/Mon) , does anyone have a fishing report for the Black River by either the boat ramp or the dam. Taking 2 teenagers, no boat, only hip waders. Just hoping the kids can scream "fish on". I have fished there in the past and had some really good days and some really bad days. Thanks for any advise or information.

Hi, I hope that many of you can help me. I live in NJ and fish the Raritan Bay for blues and stripers. I currently use either a Penn 4/0 or a Penn senator on 6 foot boat poles. ( or in a pinch i bring my 8 foot ugly sticks with Quantum reels ) I use 30 lb Mono with 50 Lb leader. and usually use no more than 6 oz of weight. My kids want to go up to L.O. in July / August and try to fish off the boat there. Is this type of set up good for Lake Ontario. I am trying to avoid spending a lot of money ( BOAT = BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND ) again on boat equipment. I have never fish L.O. but we do fish over by Dexter and last year my boys ( 11 and 14 years old ) limited out for 3 days straight. So we are used to streams and rivers up there and need to learn how to adapt to lake fishing. Any help would be appreciated. John B
