Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum here, but have been enjoying the topics on here since the spring and thought I'd try to contribute finally.
For starters, I'm a bit of a newbie to Lake Ontario trolling; having just started this year. I am, however, a seasoned veteran for Lake Huron/ Georgian Bay trolling where I've spent most of my days fishing. Lake O is proving to be incredible during the summer compared to what I'm used to in terms of numbers and size.
Despite this, I was out from Bronte last Thursday evening and struggled horribly. Not a single bite from 315-845! I spent most of my time in between 120-160 fow with my riggers set around 60 and 100 usually, along with a planar and dipsy combo. I mostly ran flasher/fly combos and some spoons. I seemed to try everything, even venturing into ~70 and out to ~180 fow. I tried almost every depth on the riggers and variety the distance out on the dipsy.
Basically I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a consistent pattern or has the fishing been slow for everyone?
I'm hoping to get out again this Saturday evening and don't know where to go/ what to try. I am completely open for suggestions. I've considered returning to Bronte or perhaps trying something new like Grimsby or Port Credit. If you suggest one of those, could you comment on what it's like fishing out of there (ie how far out it is to get to the hunny-hole, etc).
Thanks and I look forward to talking with as many people as possible.
Don't horse 'em,
Steve
