Nice job, just got back this week from fair haven. It was crazy on Monday. The fish were stacked up in 20-25 feet of water. Wish I lived closer.

So any size boat can still launch at the ramp? Does anyone have a picture of the ramp and what it looks like

Just wondering what is the status of the ramp with current water levels. Is there a way to find out if the state might be closing the ramp.

Those kids will never forgot catching those fish. Great job, just one thing to remember and I see it almost every picture with people holding fish. Nobody is wearing PFD’s kids are required to wear them by law. I hear so many people post you got to respect Lake Ontario and how quickly the lake can turn on you. But you hardly

see anyone wearing PFD’s when fishing.

I thought so, I have a Sea runner. Best Boat I have ever owned. But..... If I have to do it again I would have either went to the ocean pro or the Alaskan  with the wider stance and larger cockpit. Its still hard to find fault in my Sea Runner, its easy to trailer and can handle some rough weather with ease.  

Nice Job, Looks like you had a great day and weather. I have to ask is that a Hewescraft your fishing out of ??

Here is a question. If you are trolling paralleling the shore line out a ways. And a boat comes behind up you and is overtaking you between you and the shoreline, does that person have a right to beep its horn and try to force you to move out? There is plenty of room for that boat to make the pass. Do I need to give up the line I want to fish just because they want me to move out?

Heres my take on it, because it has happened several times to me. It all depends on your troll speed to boat distance, if say you are  creeping along at 1.5 to 2 and a boat behind you is cruising along trolling at 3 to 3.5  he will eventually they will come up behind you. And if that is the case he must change his course to allow you to continue trolling. slower vessel has the right away and you shouldn't move. But then there is always my favorite scenario.

This one move happens a lot, you have a boat in front of you and your are at a good distance away from the other vessel when you see them hook up and then the googin move comes into play. They reel the fish in and then throttle up and  circle back as fast as they can to go back over the same spot and now your almost on top of them. and they just screwed you because now you must drop your speed or worse drop to neutral ( which in shallow water means you will snag your lures on bottom ) so no choice but to throttle up and try to pass the googins and get back into your trolling depth. That is why a lot of people get tired of it and  head to deeper water when there is to many boats in shallow.. at all cost to avoid the googins 

No , I was posting this for my brother. He decided to keep it for now and took add down

Well that west wind should help with the fishing once it settles down

Just got back from fair haven , fished Monday to wed the weather was perfect but the winds were not on our side. We were hoping for west or NW winds but the winds turned NNE and fishing was tough. We did catch fish biggest was 15 lb lot of smaller kings. Currents were kind of crazy but fishable. Fished from 75 feet to 335 feet best fishing was before sun came up and then moved out to 275 feet 90 to 120 down. All the hits came off riggers with spoons

Great video!! Thanks for sharing

looks like you guys had a great day!! nice catch

WOW!! that is a beauty, congrats 

Nice brown, congratulations

Thanks for the updates..

I run the outside rod, right down the to the board 75-100 feet out then I run the inside rod about 50-60 feet midway down the planer board line. As far as spoons that depends on the size of your spoons and on how deep you are fishing. if you are in shallow you wont need anything but the weight of the spoon sometimes. if your running deeper then a split shot added to the line will be enough to get it down. I sometimes will use my down riggers set 4 feet down in shallow and run small stinger spoons off the ball 50 feet back

thanks for the update, we are heading up Monday I hope the fishing improves.

Nice job guys

Old man winter is hanging on .. But it's going to turn fast enough

Nice catch

Great way to start the season

That's great news, can't wait to get up there end of April. It's also good to see water levels are up.

Sometimes you just got to accept that a bad day of fishing is always better than your best day at work.. Plenty of time left to catch a boat load of fish, it's still early.
