I lost 2 spin dr set ups last night!  Both to fish!  Release issue and a broken leader!!!  Green with crazy **** fly!  My daughters favorite!

 

did you see the guy in the kayak between Wilson and the river on 100 fow? 

 

not killing them here but not skunked either!  Nothing over 10lbs yet. 

 

marks and bait balls to hit ratio is 100,000 to 1.  Never seen so many marks in the screen without a rod popping!!

did not see the kayak out there lol, that guy has some balls. Same story with us, little bait, lots of marks. Two face spoon did most of the work for us.

It was a zoo out there. Stop counting boats at 80. Fishing was good, I actually caught a salmon that had two spoons, and a spinny attached to it. My guess is two boats got tangled up and it broke loose. None of the lures in the picture are mine lol.

This is ridiculous, their alternative is to let corporations **** up federal lands to make up the money. I’m perfect fine paying that tax. One of the few government programs that works well enough to keep going 

This one was an off shore board

It’s ok out here, hitting some down 55-75 over 300

Picked up a planner off olcott, tell me what was on it and I’ll return it.

Is the speed differential due to current in the lake and is this typical?  
 

thanks in advance for your feedback.

 

Pair of Jack

It depends on where you are in the lake and which direction you’re trolling. There are typically currents but they maybe not be as severe or more severe. On the west end by the Niagara river I’ve encountered currents that effect the speed by up to 3MPH. It can vary by depth of lure as well, no current 50 feet down, 2 MPH 80 feet down. 

Bill is right. The fish are coloring up pretty good now and the matures are probably starting to stack up inside and folks may mistake them for lakers and they may  be hard to get to hit as their feeding response may now be diminished and water temp may be irrelevent but sometimes if you bug them enough by using active highly colored lures and trolling back and forth over them you can entice them to hit out of aggression the younger ones are a different matter and they may be running out with the steelies out deeper.

Heat was terrible today. The coldest water I found was 48 down 95 over 110. Lots of marks and bait but couldn’t get them to hit. Pulled in a few early but nothing great.

Price lowered to $1700 OBO

Will take best offer, add a few bucks to ship.

For me it depends on time of year. I feel like the bite is spoon heavy May - June then turns to flashers. Late August - September is back to big spoons and spin doctors.

I used to go to a place in Wilson called "Down on Main Street" that opened at 4, but its been replaced by "Fat Papas Diner" that opens at 6. I wish I could still get an amazing breakfast at 4 am. Maybe next time im in Fat Papas ill suggest they open early on weekends during fishing season. I bet we could fill the place.

Price lowered to $2000

Trying to help a friend sell his outboard, below is what he texted me. Located in Clarence NY.

If interested send me a pm and ill foreword it to him.

   Plan on fishing this Wed.    So besides Lewiston launch what others are open to use?  Wilson, Olcott, or Fort Niagara lunch??  Thanks in advance for any info.!!

Fort Niagara had some slush in it today but you would have no problem getting through it. Wilson is probably locked up with ice still.

Im interested, just picked the boat up today. 

Running the bar at night with riggers or dipsys sounds like a bad idea to me. Could probably do Olcott or Wilson but you're better off trying early morning or late evening. Not many guys fish for salmon at night until they start running up the streams.

Its from the bridge closest to the mouth upstream to an impassable barrier. Irondequoit creek restrictions would probably be from the 404/Empire blvd bridge upstream for the no treble hook on sinking lures.

Interesting revelation. With all the rain we’ve had, the boat has retained water up to the floor. I never removed the plug since the accident. No water came in through unwanted holes or cracks. 

Had two buddies up for the LOC Derby last weekend.

8/21 Afternoon

Left the launch at 4 pm and headed to 90 FOW. We were surprised to find the water was 72 degrees down 68 feet and stayed that way until we hit 200 FOW. Once we hit 200 FOW we pulled in a small salmon down 90 with a NBK mag spoon. Had a hit on the 75 rigger that turned out to be an Atlantic on a monkey puke mag. Shortly after we had another hit on the 75 rigger that pulled a bunch of line out then got off. 

8/22 Morning

Since the temps weren't right out of Wilson we went to Fort Niagara. Left the launch at 6:15 and headed to the drop off. Set lines in 150 FOW and trolled NNE. Had a our first fish in 170 FOW, small laker on a wire dipsy set to a 3 at 185 feet pulling a green jeans mag spoon. Our next hit came at 264 FOW on a meat rig wire dipsy out 181 feet and ended up being 22 pounds. We trolled out to 350 FOW then pulled lines to try shallow again. Marked a ton of fish between 100 and 125 FOW but only pulled out a few small kings. 

8/22 Afternoon

We launched at Wilson for the afternoon bite and found the down temps to be much more favorable. 48 degrees down 65 over 110 FOW. We pulled in a few small kings and some lake trout. The 270 dipsy on a 3 pulling most in. I,at least, had a game plan for the next day.

8/23 Morning

Launched out of Wilson at 5:45. Headed out to 75 FOW and were set up by 6:10. Had our first hit at 6:40 but dropped it. At 6:55 we pulled in a small king on a dipsy out 155 on a 3 pulling a green jeans spoon. At 7:15 we pulled up a laker on the same set up. At 8:00 we had the 40 rigger pop and after tangling with a few dipsy rods we put a 20 pound king in the boat that hit a dirty white boy mag spoon. We turned North and hit 200 FOW pulling in some small kings. Headed back into 80 FOW around 11:00 and had the 75 rigger pop. Got a 10 pound brown on NBK mag spoon. 

Best set ups of the weekend were;

240 - 270 dipsy on a 3 with any mag spoon

75 rigger with a mag spoon

150 - 180 dipsy on a 3 with a spin doctor and meat rig.

Spoons with some kind of white tape worked well.

We were out today, did one 22 in 250 FOW, ran inside and caught a mix of small kings and lakers, temp in 90 FOW was 48 down 75. I’ll be out in the morning, I’ll be monitoring channel 72 on the vhf as well.
