There were some kings around the finger friday and saturday last week. See my report from earlier this week. Not sure what the weather this week did to them.

Looks like a repeat of last year's weather. My crew and I will be rolling into town on Thurs, really pumped! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Forgot to mention, fleas were terrible on the diver wires. If left in the water for more than 10 minutes, the last 8-10 feet above the dipsey was just packed with fleas Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Henderson Finger 7/21-7/22 7/21 Left sackets at 0530, started setting lines by 0630. Started near the mountain and trolled into the waves towards west in 140-150 FOW. Decent action on 18-22 lb kings and a few lakers from 0830 to 1030. Action died after that. Hits on meat, FF, and spoons. Lost a screamer on a black/green pro king spoon on 87 foot rigger over 135. Pretty sure he wouldve been our biggest, he ripped out to 400 feet on the line counter before I could even gain any line. Lost him shortly after that. 220 and 242 mag wire dipsey on No. 2 setting and 100 and 87 foot riggers took all the shots. 7/22 Same game plan as day before. Lost two really good rips on meat and FF divers out 200 and 220. Broke another good fish on same black/green pk spoon. Ended up landing a decent 19lber and a 5lb jack on moonshine bad toad 88 rigger. Landed a few nice lakers too. Had at least a dozen rigger knockoffs that never came tight on a meat market paddle/ pro am fly. Headed back in around 1100. All in all, pretty decent weekend on the eastern side. Wish we couldve boated a few more of the hookups we had on saturday, but thats kings for ya I guess.

I grew up fishing lake erie walleyes out of Erie PA, and still fish them a few times a year. From mid june through sept, 5 color with bagleys, reef runners clean, and dipseys with willow harnesses and spoons are all we use, and typically pull a 3 man limit ( 6 a person) by noon. Divers are definitely not a waste of time there. Tactics are a wholeeeee lot different from our part of ontario though for sure.

Nick, just paypal'd you for BFF. Thanks to all the guys and sponsors for making this event happen. Its definitely worth the drive for me and my crew, and I'd definitely encourage any captains thinking about participating to get in on it!

Didnt you just get done putting the name on it??? Whats next? Bump for a solid, fishing catching boat.

Team BluTooth is in again for Fri and Sat! Cant wait, really looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

where are you located? I'll take the middle 42nd and far left one.

Henderson is useable. I launched there yesterday. Make sure to wear extra high rubber boots as the front of the dock is underwater Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Decoy, i think we were trolling around you guys yesterday. Saw your rig pulling out of lakeview this morning too. We did about the same, no bites on meat though. Did get one coho on a uv gator mag stingray too. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Gill, new to the area, wheres that at?

Also planning on trying to make it to the bar and get some fishing in this weekend, keeping a close eye on the weather. Trailering a 23' wellcraft and staying in Wilson, which launch would you guys use? I'm assuming water levels are all high and ramps/docks will be tricky. I was planning on Wilson/Tusc state park, not sure of the current condition though.

Henderson launch is definitely usable. Went out today. Just make sure you put down all your gear before the cut, broke off my vhf antenna there two weeks ago. Clearance is prob 8 foot or so under the bridge right now Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
