Anyone still catching salmon out by the fingers yet or just mainly the trench now? The last time I had a chance to get out the fish were out in the shipping channel so big change for me. Much closet haul with the boat will be nice. Also any special colors of FF combos or spoons that are hitting best now? We are planning on launching from Henderson around 6am tomorrow morning. Maybe we will see some of you guys out there too hopefully.

Yuh I agree Todd! We are planning a trip out on Wednesday so I'm hoping it will be calmer than 2ft waves.

Sounds like Saturday was fun, but I'm glad I wasn't able to get out. The 4 ft waves with my little 21ft cuddy cabin would of been a challenge. I'm going to try and shoot for getting out this up coming Sunday. My saturdsy is booked already with eye appointments for the boy and my other half. Maybe a late afternoon trip could be possible. Otherwise my labor day weekend is my only shot at this fun event and meeting some of you guys on here.

This sounds like fun time! I would like to enter also but would not know for sure until later in the week whether I can actually get time to go out.

I agree weather is not looking favorable. But as we know the forecast does change fast. I have also been waiting patiently to take my boat out too but not working in my favor yet.

The marine forecast on weatherunderground doesn't look that great for Saturday and Sunday on lake ontario! Waves 1-3ft building to 3-5ft. I don't think i want to fish in those conditions! I guess my needy chance will be one evening after work during the week next week.

Been a couple weekends since I have had time to go out try the kings. Have they moved in more to the fingers area or are there still kings out by the wall and shipping lanes? Hoping for a good weekend this coming Saturday and sunday so I can get out try my luck again.

My friends and i are not going to make it out today. He had to work at the ER and my truck broke down. Can't take the boat

No kidding, I was seeing some solid 3-4s in BRB at 0630 this morning before work. Hopefully it dies down tonight, supposed to building during the day today.

Yuh hopefully it will calm down by Sunday. My friends and I are planning a trip out again. The waves have whitecaps still here out in front of our place in guffins bay.

I would opt for condensation first with what you've said & the engine in question. Drain it well & if you have enough room to drain it out thru the pan all the better. Put a fresh filter & a good grade of straight HD30W oil in it & keep an eye on it.

L&M,

Giving you an update on my boat motor findings! It turns out that I did have a bad head gasket. So here is what I done:

Pulled intake manifold and gasket looked good. Found that one small freeze plug that rusted through so I replaced all 3 on the head. I took the head off to check that gasket before putting back together and did find that the port holes between number 5 and 6 cylinders has rust through for water port and oil ports to push rods. It wasn't reel bad yet but it could have gotten worse. I replaced it and torqued down the head in the 3 step process and done a cold valve lash adjustment. It started right up but I had to readjust valve rockers slight afterwards while it was running to get rid of slight ticking. I ran motor for over a half hour now on water muffs and no milky oil and motor runs great. Hoping for final test out on the waters with it this weekend.

Hi markdaniel, I've been following that post from the begining and it's very interesting. I'm wondering where are the mountain and the finger?

Crestliner,

 

To answer your question I think the finger and mountain is past the pill boxes along the high wall of the Henderson straight out towards the stony light house. It is a ways out there past the light house If I am correct but maybe someone more knowing can chime in here on this for you. If you look at the lake contours of Lake Ontario you will see contours that look like fingers in a depth of around 120-150ft

That is a nice king! There are some nice ones out there and good that you landed that one. The one day I went out with my friend on his boat we had a king peel out over 500ft of line and he managed to get him back to the boat but it got off right at the boat unfortunately. We could see it was a huge one most likely close to the 40# range by the way it looked in the water. It really sucked!!

Sounds like most of you guys had a decent day out! My buddy is penning on going back outbagain tomorrow.

Good luck out there this weekend guys if you get a chance to go out! I will not be making it out this weekend. Saturday is the Nationals car show in Syracuse with the other half and the boy. Not sure about Sunday yet but have been invited out again with my buddy Joe and his other half.

Actually after looking at the lure closer Jerry wad right it is a custom lure. On the back it has NK28 and you can see there was some halo tape added and a green ladderback and yellow ladderback tape over that. It is very close to the Habanero lure but not exactly.

I have this one spoon that I picked up somewhere and can't remember where. I have checked with Jeff@ revolutionspoons and it is not one of theirs. I don't see one exactly like it on moonshine spins website either. I'm hoping to find some more because it is a great color and catches lots of fish.

Here are just a few of the pics from yesterday. I have more pics coming from the other guys phones that they took of fish I caught also. My fiancee's son definitely enjoyed the day out on the water fishing.

 

Awesome!! I am glad the fish are cooperating... Looking forward to seeing some pictures... Where did you guys go? The shipping lanes?

Yes Shawn we were in the lanes. Out deep is were we got the most fish and right chose to the wall

Just getting home from fishing

Really Good day once the waves calmed down. Between three of us we brought home 5 lake trout and 5 kings. We lost a huge one right at the boat that peeled out over 500ft of line. We put back at least 8 king skippys that were just too small. Most all ofv the fish were caught in 130-175 fow and down 90-115 @the ball on green jeans spoons and green dolphin spoons. Very few on dipsys but the ones we did was 250ft and spoons also. Will post some pics when im not tired and have to work early in the morning.
