Hunter and Samantha hanging out at the dock this afternoon... He helped me pick spoons for the next trip out.

Let me know when you're available and we'll figure something out. Dude... Tell more about Tuna - I'm in!

Hit the same area as yesterday and started off absolutely terrible... Went 0 for 5 to start and then I broke the ice and brought in the 6th hook up to show the guys how it's done. Laker. Brother got another laker shortly after and we finished with another nice King! 3 for 9 today and back in for lunch. Storms coming this afternoon through tomorrow so should mix things up again... Challenge accepted Lake O!

Thanks buddy! Decent month of May so far.

My youngest brother, Darryl, is out visiting from Colorado this week so I wanted to show him how we do things out here. Mission Accomplished!

My Dad, two brothers and I finished with a Grand Slam after 6+ hours of trolling in Thick Fog! Went 21 for 27 and boated Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and yes... Early Spring Kings on the East End!! Boated 3 of them and lost 3 others all on Light Tackle 12lb test. What a great day to introduce him to Lake Ontario!

Kept 5 Lakers, a Brown, a Steelhead, and 3 Kings.

You know it's a great day when it's hard to bring in your big boards due to too many releases in the water!! Haha

Me and my little dude, Hunter, with today's catch.

Quick morning trip... Conditions changed rapidly over night again... 1 big Northern and the smallest walleye caught this year at 4.5lbs.

Took a quick trip out today with a young man who just turned 8 from camp who has been dying to go out with me... His parents let him come and boy was he excited. Just look at that smile!! He's hooked now.

Beautiful day and tried hard to get him his first Walleye ever but went 0 for 3 on eyes and of course landed both Pike that were on the line. He just could not keep the rod tip up toward the end of the fight and was so anxious to SEE the fish and when that rod tip dropped it's automatic almost every time... Fish Gone. The one was a few feet from the net and I was about to make the reach for it and I caught a glimpse of the rod tip fly by my leg downward and before I could help him raise it the fish got off. Was a good 8+lber too. It hurt me more than it hurt him... I can't stand losing eyes but he would just shrug his shoulders, look at me, and say "we'll get the next one, don't worry". What a day for patience practice for me... Haha! Great time with the little dude he had a blast!

High speed reels help a ton! My core and copper reels are mostly Saltist, Seagate and Sealine 57LC.

Agreed. All my short cores are Saltists and long cores and coppers are Seagates. World of difference.

Second Costa's. I have 580G lenses and don't notice any weight issue.

I have found with the big boards it is better to put the line further into the release causing the fish to hook itself before the line is pulled from the release.

Bingo! Always sink the line deep in the release on your cores. Cores also inherently lose more fish because you may think you have fish tension but what you're feeling is the weight of the core itself. When reeling in cores you need to be a bit more aggressive then you typically would.

Per Tony's directions and supplied pins, you drill a thru-hole all the way through the support bracket and crossbar and slide the pins in, locking it in place.  Do it on both sides. 

72 in Henderson yesterday with a beach of swimmers. Temps rising so fast this year...

Where are you fishing? Mexico? Get ahold of me a couple days before your trip Señor. Will let you know what's going on based on recent trips to put your colleagues on fish. I'm up 15-25th this month so will be out a lot. Lakers are in the top 30' of water column way off bottom right now. Not sure it'll be the same story in 2 weeks but I'll let ya know.

Use spoons off 3,4,5,6 cores. In 2 weeks even a 10-color may work. Slaughtered them yesterday in 60-90fow went 23-28 on them. Cowbells are horrible you can't even tell a fish is on the other end of the line.

Thanks Dave!!! Do it quick!!!

Almost forgot the catch wall... Kept a 32" and 34" laker out of slot and twin 28" fish within the slot.

And a shot with my newborn son, Hunter, who was really into the fish hanging. Can't wait to get the little man on the boat in a few years fishing with me.

Absolute Laker shellacking today. Me and my Buddy Bill (dertracker) pushed off the dock with my little boat at 5:30AM and decided we had enough with the Walleye and time to try something different.

3,4,5,6 color cores off big boards and riggers at 15' and 25' all day over 60-90fow. Went 23 for 28 on some huge Lake Trout and caught one confused Smallmouth. All spoons.

Absolutely beautiful day for fishing and a fire drill on the boat with two dudes. Doubled 4x and tripled once. One of those days you'll remember for quite a while... Time to ice our reeling shoulders. Back at it tomorrow.

here's the secret everyone... fish BRB!  Top secret stuff... or you could follow walleyemagic around.  I don't know where he was fishing this weekend but he usually chums enough to attract a steady group of walleye around him.

BRB and surrounding areas.

Not many can pull off success on their own boat on their 1st Lake Ontario Walleye trip... You guys did great - some serious Atlantic Coast fishing talent on your boat. Glad you guys could get up here and look forward to next time. GO EASY!

Stony creek launch is fine. Been in and out of there for weeks.

Nice work fellas! Great meeting you and your crew this weekend. Glad you got into multiple species. See ya back up here later this year for Kings buddy.

P.s. I gotta get me some of those spoons!

Left the dock at 5:30AM, in by 10:00AM. Got 2 eyes today doing things a little different then the last 2 days.

Headed back home... Gotta work for a few days. Back up here Thursday night for another long weekend.

7 Saturday in 7hrs. 2 Sunday in 5hrs. 2 Today in 4hrs.

Nice work buddy!! Looks like fun.

Practice, practice, and attention to detail...and more practice. Lots of active fish this weekend fellas, don't get discouraged.
