I tried finding to mountain last year but was unsuccessful.. I had an old fish finder that would randomly go into demo mode and it was my first year fishing Lake Ontario. I watch a lot Bill Saiff videos because he seems to be the only one who talks about the area.. He has 6 charter boats ( I think it's 6) out of Henderson Harbor. YouTube Bill Saiff Outdoors (BSO) there are a ton of videos.. He talks about all the species of fish, where to find them, even what colors to use in your spread.

Verified... Lol

Got me thinking maybe I should try Henderson Harbor rather then driving down to Mexico point..

Here is another one that they said they caught in the Harbor yesterday!

I was checking out the Bill Saiff Outdoors( charter boat out of Henderson Harbor) page on Facebook and they posted this picture and said they Caught this brown in the harbor!

I would love to fish out of Henderson. Its not very far from me ( I am at Fort Drum) but the water is cold on this end of the lake. I usually drive down the highway and launch out of Mexico point or Oswego.. The fishing just seems to be better down there. It maybe that I just don't know the area up here very well. I also fish out of the black river at Dexter. I was there a few days last week and guys were catching pike but they are out of season now. A buddy of mine was there also and he said the pike were aggressive hitting crank baits close to the dock. Any advice about the area would be much appreciated!

Nice!! The water looks like glass it's so smooth..

Yes.. I would think so.. With all the rain and warmer (above freezing) weather that is forecasted I would almost bet money that the ramp will be clear or at least clear enough to launch your boat. Just be aware that the dock that is usually in the center has been taken out of the water.. I don't know when they usually put it back in the water. When I launched out of there on Sunday we didn't have to pay the $6 fee. The meter was covered..

I will take one of those spots... PM sent..

We went out of Mexico point. We only caught two small Browns.. The ramp was clear just a little ice. We went to the salmon river mouth but there was a lot of ice floating around do we went near pleasant point and that's where we caught the Browns.. There was some big swells but the lake was very calm and smooth by about 1pm.. It definitely felt good to be on the lake in February.. Lol the weather couldn't have been better for February!!

3-6 subsiding to 2 or less.. I am hoping it will get better as we get closer to Sunday..

I am wondering the same thing... I am thinking about try to hit the lake on Sunday!!!

Sunday is looking good for the lake.. I might try to launch out of Mexico point..

Nice.. I never been to Florida but I always wanted to try some fishing down there.. I think I am going to retire down there... Lol

I am also thinking about this weekend... Possibly Sunday out of Mexico point...

Nice!! I think I need to try down in that area.. I keep checking the weather everyday and it looks like they are forecasting much warmer than then normal conditions for the next 3 months... Spring will be here very soon..

Went to Henderson Harbor and it looked like the whole Harbor was ice covered. Drove out to the Cut(the little bridge before Association Island) The lake was wide open.. No ice and very calm.. I was casting a little cleo spoon out from shore for about an hour. Didn't catch anything... Oh well at least it got me out of the house for a little while.. Can't wait till spring!!

Nice Browns!! Thanks for the report! What FOW were you at? Me and my daughter went out in mid December and went 9 for 11 but they were all small Rainbows and one nice brown.. We had a blast! Can't wait for spring!! Thanks in advance

Great... Thanks! I can't wait to try again!

Awesome!! Good job.. Me and my daughter went out in mid December and went 9 for 11 but we kept catching small rainbows and only one nice brown.. We were in 7-20 FOW. How deep were you? And how far down on the riggers? I am loving this winter.. I can't wait for spring or another warm weekend when the lake is calm... Thanks in advance!

Beautiful!

I have been looking at reviews of the Helix 5 on here and I see people have the same complaints about the small screen. I am leaning towards getting the Helix 7 after the holidays. I am in the same situation as you. I am using a old black and white lowrance right now. I mostly use it just for depth. It keeps just randomly turning off on me at the end of the season. I will definitely have a new one before spring. There was a charter captain on here the posted the optimal settings for the hummingbirds. If you look for it on this site I am sure you will find it!

I was thinking of trolling in close to shore between Sandy creek and the salmon river. Looking for some Browns.

Whooooo!! I will be out there on Sunday. Me and my daughter are excited!!

Thanks fellas! I am kinda excited for Sunday!

Bobber: We are going Christmas shopping all day Saturday so my wife said me and my daughter can go fishing all day Sunday.

Yankee Troller: how deep and how far down would the salmon be? I don't think we will venture out too far but it's always an option especially if the lake is calm. Thanks in Advance!
