Hey p3 u have pretty much the only one that has answered my questions! And I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I mean I get it most guys don’t wanna share things completely understandable! I have a trip planned aug 9,10,11 some quality time with my son! We are staying at red roof inn was planning on launching in Oswego! Just a little nervous this is the first time with my own boat on Lake Ontario! So I’ll take any advice I can get! I’d even travel to a different launch I’m up for anything! I have to rods,reels with wire and dipsys, and 2 down riggers rods and an assortment of spin doctors,flies,spoons,meat rigs

Dirt they will be staging here soon so don't worry as much about the temp. Fish the marks as they will be coming out of their temp to get bait. We haven't fished Oz this year just Mexico. I know they're doing work at Wrights but from what I've read the ramp is open. The nice thing about Oz is it gets deeper faster there than Mexico. I'd say to start around 150 FOW with riggers between 80-100', dipseys back 240 and 300 on number 1 setting and troll out, again watching for marks and adjust as you go. I like F/F or SD/F when they start to stage, glow and white early morning, chrome combos later if sunny. Ask around the tackle shops and at the launch. Some people don't like to share but there are a lot of us that will. Good luck to you guys!

Looks possibly homemade? 

Not sure you'll get out of Pine Grove this year unless you're boat is small. Last week all the docks were not in.

You will never go wrong with a white/green dot flasher and hammer fly

Chrome Spin Dr/ Green Dots

We had our best hits tues/wed in 180 fow off dipseys, 280-300' out.  

I know in the past my best rig when high noon was a chrome spin doctor/green dot with either a hammer or pro am fly off a dipsey.

I run the eagle claw and love them. Tough, inexpensive rods. I’ve been running them for 20 years now. Wouldn’t even consider running anything else. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it mentality.

X2 on the Eagle Claws

You can get a cheap camera flash to do the trick, that's all I've ever used. Amazon has a bunch of them.

That boat is fine most days ..if it's too rough for that boat it's not fun on any boat. I fish a 18 foot alumicraft all the time. Watch the weather pick good days and catch tons of fish. I think smaller boats actually catch more fish some days. The nice thing about smaller boats is you get more use out of them because you can trailer and launch them easy..of all your going to do is fish lake Ontario then get a bigger boat bit if you want an all around fishing boat 17 and 18 footers are great

X2 however I like the comfort of a bigger boat so I'll keep mine.

Mine actually named the boat. I get the best reactions from the women.

Fished off the river tues afternoon and wed morning. 50-70' down 35-40' on riggers, 60' out on dipsey #1 setting. f/f, J plugs, spoons all took fish, 1 brown the rest cohos. Orange, blue and silver for colors. 

Nice job Low Baller. Hopefully they'll stay around a little bit more.

What do you think of tomorrow afternoons wind? I saw it's supposed to be from the south, which is good. And supposed to ease up around 2 or 3pm, which is good. Just debating on making another run up....

sstout I'm not sure how far you have to drive. NOAA says 2' or less for waves. The thing that would concern me with your smaller boat is forecast is for SW wind and any west wind could be bad for smaller boats.

Wow awesome job!  Can’t wait to get out Saturday! Are they hitting plugs or same stuff as previous weeks?

We took fish on F/F, J Plugs and spoon. orange F/F, orange spoon and silver/blue J's

Low Baller good fishing with you guys, good luck in the morning. There's still fish to be caught. 

3 Cohos and 1 Brown. 50-60' FOW down 35-40'

sstout nothing on Lake Ontario is guaranteed but given the forecast and the fact that there are fish close to shore I think you could fish. You could put in at Pine Grove which is on the Big Salmon and cut down on your run. Good luck. 

Low Baller one of my buddies was there Friday and went 8-11 in 60' off the big river. F/F, plugs and spoons all took hits. I'll be heading up in the morning. 

Charlie P best of luck to you. We'll all be praying for a quick and speedy recovery so you can give em hell next year!

Weather looks great for Tuesday and Wednesday going out of Henderson really hoping for no ice water and plenty of fish as the east wind will be present and likely slow the bight a bit . Really wanting one last good trip to finish the season on a high note before chasing white tails for the rest of the year .

It does look good, I'll be down by the big river tues/wed. Still hope it's good enough to get at least another trip in before I climb the tree. Good luck on the water and in the woods!
