    Do you have any recommendations where to go fishing this autumn for salmon in lake ontario


    There is really only two major spawning runs on the US side. The Kings stage in front of the Niagara River on the "Bar", and the Salmon River. There are minor packs of staging Salmon at all the ports in between but usually not as heavy of concentration. We kill them every year at the bar as long as the weeds coming out of the river don't clog up the lines

    Thank you for that report king. So much for salmon this weekend for me- walleye on Erie it is. I've fished walleye more than salmon this year- my freezer loves it but my drags are dying to scream line again.

    Your welcome. I figured guys would like to know before hauling up here for the weekend. I wanted to go to sturgeon tomorrow but the forecast is not looking too nice

    Nice day to fish and the stud seems to be fizzling out. We ran it for a while and changed it out for the stud meat rig and then started producing fish but no big boys. 


    I have another buddy who hasn't caught a fish on it as well. Yesterday another charter boat captain I know was fishing next to us and he was killing it with the white double crush/ stud fly anywhere from 500 copper to 80' rigger, and on his divers.

    I hopped aboard Dublin Up for a little derby fishing Sunday morning. We headed west out of the pier heads. And set up in 140' right on top of fish. The morning bite was good, landing 3 quick salmon but nothing that would get us near the LOC board. The screen was great a couple miles west of port and we kept working our marks picking away at fish throughout the morning. Ended up 8 for 10 with some skippers also mixed in. Eventually we went to all meat or flashers to keep the juveniles off the hook. Meat was the best producer on 130' diver early then 240' later. 300 copper and 10 colors also produced fish. Got a double on a rigger with both the main line and slider hooking juveniles before we switched out the spoons. Biggest King was 17 lbs. ran the white double crush spin doctor with stud fly but it was silent. Still haven't caught anything on it. No fly bites today at all.IMG_1499066316.718317.jpg

She has hit her deductible of $12,000 for her medical plan and since now all expenses are covered in full, we can start paying that ridiculous number down.

    Congratulations to those who won.

    Thanks so much guys. Mom only has a couple sessions of chemo left so she's getting weak. The end is the hardest part. I'm two weeks in and still working a couple days a week, and fishing a couple days a week. I just responded to the latest batch of entrants so check your email or phone for pics of your filled out tickets. Still plenty of time left to get in on this if your on the fence.

    Mounting a Kicker Motor

    That 91 non ethanol? At $3/gallon thats about 8 gallons of fuel, which still isn't too bad considering the size of the motor. I think too on your boat being lighter might be a little more forgiving. My boat weighs in loaded around 5,000lbs.


    Yes 91 non ethanol. And I usually run a few miles from port before I set up. The weight is a huge factor and having a good motor/hull pairing is the key. I had a 25' bay liner hardtop with a 305 in it. What a dog. Wasn't bad on gas while trolling but to run anywhere I could watch the gauge move. 24 mph top speed

    You know Chas I have the 2002 135 Merc Optimax and before that I had a 35 horse Johnson 2 stroke and this 135 doesn't use as much gas as that 35 did as long as I don't totally open it up. I think they made some major improvements ingas economy during that time period.


    I go through about $20-25 in an 8 hr day of trolling with my 135 optimax. She gets a little congested toward the end of the day but a good high rpm run back to port usually cleans her out

    Copper line and Planer Boards

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I'm still working on figuring out a decent spread from a smaller boat (18'). I wanted to find something I could run off planer boards that i could get away from my spread. I will be running 2 riggers (possibly stacked) along with 2 dipsies and then something on boards, I have 3 color LC i could run but was looking for something to get some spoons down a little deeper... maybe mono with snap weights? I have in-line boards and I'm not sure how to run them when fishing salmon as the ones I have don't release from the line (offshore OR12 boards), I worry they might break the line or cost me to lose the fish with a big run. Also running 2 dipsies on the same side of the boat also seems like a disaster waiting to happen so I would like to avoid that as well.


    I run four dipseys on my 19' boat every time I'm out, unless it's 3-5 footers. Just run a mag diver on a one and a regular diver with ring on a 3.5. Deploy them slow and when possible, set the outside (3.5) diver first. I also run 10 colors, 300 copper, or shorter cores on church inline boards when I want a few extra lines away from the boat.
