  4. Yeah definitely was! Hopefully this weekend is a crush fest more on Kings!
  5. May 1st Headed East out of port down towards Olcott and set up in 40ft of water! It was a slow start for us for the first hour of fishing boating 3 lakers. As the sun got up we started popping more fish! Mostly Lake trout but throw in some teenage kings in there also and some coho! We had a good day lost count at 25 fish boated! 8 rod spread 4 rigger rods, slide diver, torpedo diver, and 2 planer boards. Riggers parked anywhere from the bottom up to the top 20ft of water and anywhere from 20-55ft off the ball and the divers im not sure what my dad set the slide diver at. I know it was on a number 3 setting, but Torpedo was with a 25ft lead and 125-180ft back. Fished between 40 and 100 fow all day! Best lure for us was the Finger Lakes Tackle Radiation Gator spoon with the hammered back, but got fish on the Caramel Dolphin, FLT KOS in the original version and radiation pattern. Surface temp 42.9-44.4 and speed anywhere from 2.2-2.7mph. May 2nd This day headed West out of port and set up a couple miles down the lake. Right in front of my uncles house in 60fow. 6 rod spread 4 riggers, slide diver, and torpedo. All set ups the same! We crushed the lakers all day between 60-110fow! We landed into some nice lakers and also pulled out some teenage kings again. Surface temp 42.6-43.9, speed same 2.2-2.7. Best lure was again the FLT Gator Radiation spoon! But also a Michigan Stinger Goby pattern, FLT Black Mamba, and FLT KOS Radiation. Lost count at 35 fish landed. May 3rd Same as the day before ran west out of port and had the exact same set up! We caught a lot more kings this day. Fished 80-150fow lost count at 30 fish boated. Best lure FLT Gator Radiation. Also ran a white green dot spinny with an All About Fishing (AAF) white green fly! All in all great weekend! 100+ fish in the boat over 3 days! I'd definitely like to give a shout out to Finger Lakes Tackle company and AAF Trolling flies for making great fish catching baits! We will be up there Thursday-Sunday! I am currently in the process of editing all the GoPro footage from this weekend and I will make another thread when the video is done and uploaded.

  8. Nice! Sent from my GT-P3113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. So just thought I'd start a thread to see who has caught Atlantic Salmon in their life! I've been reading the reports and seems like everyone is catching them which is an awesome sign! I caught my first Atlantic at 10 years old! 10 pounds caught on a slide diver on the Bar in the spring! And every year since then we have seem to at least put one Atlantic under our belt, whether trolling or fly fishing! So I want people to share the number of Atlantics they've caught and also some pictures! Sent from my GT-P3113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. Does anyone know know where I can possibly find a downrigger version Trollpro housing for my GoPro Hero 3 Silver? Id really like to get one so I can start making some awesome videos on my YouTube channel. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Good Luck, Tight Lines, Screaming Reels
  11. I've caught some in Sandy Creek, Oak Orchard, and Wilson Harbor before accidentally or at least I wasn't targeting them.
  12. Awesome! Good Job! We will probably be out again this weekend weather permitting! Either that or working on the Penn Yan to get her ready 24 days till the derby!
  13. If you contact Ted from Ted's Tackle on the northern end of the lake in Lakeville he will give you updates! (585) 429-0587 Good Luck, Tight Lines, Screaming Reels
  14. My dads buddy Tim got his boat ready last night and we headed up to the Lake to fish today! Lines were set at 7am and we went on a westward troll. My dads buddy Tim made some make shift planer boards out of water skis and we had a 4 rod spread, 2 on each board. Lines set anywhere from 50-125ft behind the boat. Got about 3/4 of a mile down the shoreline and turned back east in 8ft of water. No color west of the creek. We got to the mouth of the creek and picked up the first brown of the year. Came on the inside rod 80ft back on a brown trout pattern J-7 jointed Rapalla. We trolled east a little bit changed up our spread and turned back west in 10ft of water. Got back to the mouth and the inside rod fired. This one on a J-9 black and copper jointed Rapalla. After that nothing. 2-2 on the day! Most of the colored water was east of the mouth and at the mouth of the creek! 6-12ft of water we trolled. A lot of logs and debris in front. No ice bergs! All in all not a bad day! Got the first fish of the year so can't complain. Wisdom teeth came out yesterday but nothing stopped me from getting out. I have video of both fish on the Go-Pro! Its edited and should be up on YouTube in a couple of hours. I will link it if you would like to see it. Good Luck, Tight Lines, Screaming Reels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkNGR9RWEv8
  15. Goes to prove the west end of the lake is the place to be this time of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Again every year the Lake Trout and Salmon winner comes from Niagara county! Also it is scientifically proven that the west end is the calmest part of the lake specifically Wilson and Olcott. No need to run far out at all on the west end.
  17. I can hook you up with my buddy Jared! He may even throw some flies your way! All About Fishing trolling flies!
  18. Hey guys just remember winning salmon last year in the spring came in Niagara County!
  19. So my dad and I are looking for a new boat! Anywhere from a 25-30ft boat that is an inboard and has a beam of 8ft or better! Price range I believe from what my dad has been searching is 10,000-20,000. I have been looking at Rampages, Luhrs, Penn Yan Prowlers, Tiaras, Baha, Albemarles, and Carolina Classics not exactly sure what my dad has been looking at. Obviously it is going to be a used boat with the price range but we are looking to upgrade in size to a bigger boat! What sites are the best to look at these boats? And that actually give you truthful information! Thanks Good Luck, Tight Lines, Screaming Reels PS: This boat has caught my eye! (Rampage)
