    Scotch Bonnet

    in Ontario, CA Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (North Shore)

    Posted

    Well made it out to Scotch Bonnet on Saturday it was a beautiful morning we were off the water by noon. We had a couple of tiny kings and two good ones 17lbs and other 22lbs. Had out two Dipsey's with meat and two spoons on down riggers. smallest fish was caught on the meat all the rest came on the spoons. Green Dolphin and Water Melon. We fished south of Scotch Bonnet Shoal in 114 to 180 FOW. Oh and when I bought the gear in snagged a Goby as well.  How anyone else make out seen lots of boats out?

    Had a nice morning at Scotch Bonnet today. We were there at 6:15 am and had a double header by 6:30. Fished 140’ and had riggers at 66’ and 70’ and dipsy’s out at 150 on braid. Ran DW blue dolphin glow and green dolphin glow on riggers and meat rigs on dipsy’s caught fish on all of them. Went 6/7 on kings biggest being 20.12 lbs and 1 Bow. Kept the smallest king and released the rest. Water temp was 63.4 average and 2.1 to 2.4 for speed. We were off the water by 10:30 am. Great start to Canada Day. Pro patria!

     

    Cheers Tom

    that is a fantastic example of how much variability there can be between individual fish of the same species that is why knowing some of the major identifiers is so key.  

    Yeah I've been looking over the charts that were in other posts. Like my old infantry days of AFV recognition its all in the small details.

    Yikes. Putting those oil cans on your carpet is a bad idea. The slime will ruin it in a hurry

    No carpet on the floor only the casting platforms so pail of water cleans it off quick.  I have the boat docked this year so doesn't get cleaned after each time I use it so trying to wipe things down as soon as I land one or create a mess.

    tjo: Nobody thinks you are stupid, and there is no such thing as a stupid question either presented by someone well intentioned. Occasionally on here someone messes around trying to either be funny or just to be "annoying" to others. There have been many posts here over time that asked about the differences between Atlantics and browns which share some commonalities as they are related species so I think anyone that may have been suspicious about the authenticity of your original post may have mistakenly thought that it was "spoofing" those previous posts. The thing worth noting is that folks have provided you with some real good information and materials to clear up the original concern as well as other potential issues. Happy fishing out there and best of luck.

    Yeah i don't think that was really his intention I was being a bit facetious in my reply as well . But hey lots of others with constructive posts. Much appreciate you replying.

    Since there are legal length restrictions on the different species, it might be a good idea to practice catch and release until you learn them by sight. There are some good color plates you can look at online but each fish species can change color based on time of the year so it can get confusing. 

    I wouldn't keep anything I can't identify.
