Great Job - I came up empty fishing out of I-Bay with two J-plugs in 30-65 ft. Fished from 4:30 - 7:15. Plugs where down 30 and 40 - saw the marks there.

No worries, I'll see ya soon!

I'm going out of I-Bay at 4:30ish, was going to set up with some j-plugs in 30-100ft and go hunting. Sorry not much help, if you have a radio, give me a channel and I will let you know what I'm seeing.

Good Luck.

Headed out of I-bay yesterday at 3:30 and ran straight north to 200 fow and set up. I ran a wire dipsy SD and Fly (Green) out 360 and a wonder bread spoon on rigger down 90. Flat calm with the biting flies again.

I was really working on getting sometime working on my probe since I often don't use it. So I started recording some numbers, the probe was down 100ft the whole time and this is what I recorded:

262fow/56.5, 366fow/59.8, 498fow/60.6, 518fow/60.8, 542fow/49.8 and 554fow/47.2. I feel like now I can't live without it. Was surprised to see temps bounce around, must be the currents. I did make it out to 600fow, that is by far the furthest I have been!

Caught one Coho early and a small 10lb king. I picked up early like 7 and ran in since I had to be somewhere but it was a good to be alone and work on my probe usage.

I'm going out of I-bay today after work myself, looking forward to it. Thanks for the wind/wave post.

Great Job!

Great report - thanks. Going silver hunting Friday!

I have a 2007 185 Scout Dorado - dual console. It's great for the family and fishing - check out the Dorado line of boats made by Scout.  

Perfect - thanks guys. I only keep a couple fish, and never keep any full cans of beer.

Looking for some recommendations on cooler size. I own a small 18.5 Scout Dorado boat that I used last year for kings to much success, this year looking to invest in a cooler and was wondering what size you recommend, any help would be great. Thanks.

This is my first year fishing for Kings in deep water off Lake Ontario too. I started the year with two riggers and two wire dispys based upon my homework. I have had sucess everytime I have been out (probably just ended my luck with those words...but), I'm out of I-Bay and my advice is to read this site daily, read books like (Keating on Kings or any Dan Keating book and practice a couple different things at a time until it works. I ran only one dipsy this Sunday and it produce a 12lb and 29lb king in 4 hours on the water, point being sometimes more rods are less effective. Again no expert here and listen to all these members, since they have helped me TONS! I boated 15-20 kings this season! Start slow, safe and methodical - my two cents.

Thanks to all the great help on LOU in setting up my wire dipsy rigs they produced.

I would like to see them and I'm in Rochester, whats your availibility? Eric 802-4918.

Thanks - that's all a huge help!

I wanted to fish a Dipsy Diver rig on my boat this year so this is what I got:

Reel: Okuma Convector CV30D

Rod: 9' Dispy Rod - Cabelas

Line: Opti-Tackle 1000' 7 strand 30# stainless wire

Question: (read tons and still want an opinion)

Should I use all the 1000' wire on the reel with no backing? Also do I need a leader or can the wire go to the Dipsy and then run mono to lure?

Thanks for your time.

Why do dogders and flashers have one end with a swivel and the other not?

Thanks for the tips - I will give it a try!

Hello - I'm fairly new to Salmon fishing on the lake, but it's something I tought I can't pass up living right next to this great lake - so bought a boat, some gear and some lures. I have been reading and I can tell you I have much to learn.

? - can you troll j-plugs or spoons yet and in what depth? I'm free all weekend and hope to learn more on the water!

Thanks for your time
