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.
