Preparing correctly before cooking is the key.  Bleed them out and immediately put them on ice.  Filet the skin off an trim the red/brown flesh off the back side of the filet.  I marinate mine in the recipe I will post here below in second for you try.  I grill it in a grill basket and it is great!

The point in the above post about "Bleeding the fish"  IMO makes all the difference.  Don't do it they taste like ****.

Smaller boats going through fine my buddies 23ft wellcraft just makes it through most bigger boats have been going around association 

I’ll take lot 2 if you do PayPal

Actually many years here on Ontario big numbers of 2.5 yr olds mature due to excessive food. In the early 90s NYSDEC told us the slug of large Chinooks was due to "delayed maturity."  Accelerated maturity is due to abundant food source. Lets keep in mind that a Salmon populations entire purpose is to propagate and become food. Lake O is now a mature fishery with intense Chinook Salmon fishing pressure. Age 4 Chinooks have always been the exception, and these days even if an individual Salmon is destined to be  a 4yr old mature it most likely gets caught and harvested before that. There is no problem with that as more people around the lake are enjoying Salmon fishing than ever before. Healthy alewives and healthy Salmon have created a bigger fishery. 

Now, be careful what you wish for--if you dig into the Lake Michigan Salmon fishery it is more policy than biology. Alewives are on the upswing but instead of increasing Salmon plants they are cramming record numbers of Lake Trout into the Lake. If you dig into the realities of the Salmon fishery I don't think most would like what they find--and certainly wouldnt trade for our fishery. Yes, there are some giants being caught but the day to day action is spotty at best unless you want Lakers. Look no further than the largest Pro Tournament on Lake Michigan, The Ludington Offshore Classic. Only one team was able to catch 3 Salmon both days. The vast majority filled their remaining creel with Lake trout. When I talk to Captains over there they say its difficult to determine which client gets the ONE opportunity at a Salmon during their outing. 99% of the anglers over there would trade for our fishery in a heartbeat.        

Vince great response and we all know you certainly know your stuff.  I will disagree with you about numbers of the catch.  The Wisconsin side of the lake has not cut the stocking as much as Michigan has.  They have actually cut the browns which made no sense and pissed a ton off.  Catches of kings the last few years from Chicago to Big bay de noc in Northern Michigan from spring to fall have been epic.  Some charters have averaged 20-30 kings a trip Since May this year and the kicker was the abundance of bigger 25-30lb kings the last few years.  Not to mention the biggest cohos in recent memory and the continued world class steelhead fishery that takes place in NW Lake Michigan in the summer.  Alewife Numbers have risen.  The Michigan side of the lake is a totally different ball game.  It almost reminds me of some of Lake Ontario’s lull periods of years past on the eastern end when you captains have consistent fishing on the western end.  The Michigan side goes from no fish to all of a sudden tons of fish staging before they enter the rivers.  They always have there days late summer early fall.    The pen rearing has played a significant role in Lake Ontario as natural reproduction has.  From a numbers perspective I would hesitate to say that Lake Ontario trout and salmon catch is far superior than lake Michigan’s.  Overall kings, coho’s steelhead fishing is pretty solid out of a lot of Michigan’s ports.  There is no indication that this is going to change i the near future.

If I had to bet a dollar$$ there are a few kings that have entered the trench, lake trout are on bottom off the finger 140+ a few kings are on the mountain and south towards the north dune.  It’s the same **** as it’s been for 20 years outta Henderson.  And it’s been rough most of the days.  Henchens is ganna have a pile of lake trout and a few kings at the fish cleaning station and those kids are ganna be pissed by the end of the day cleaning all them slimers that mostly get thrown away 

Over 25 charters went out of Henchen's this morning gotta be reports somewhere.......

Michigan seems to have rebounded with the size of the kings.  Fish over 30lbs have been consistently weighed in spring and summer tournaments all over the lake.  This weekend loads of fish pushing 40lbs and several over 40 have been weighed in during competitions all over the MI/WI shorelines.  Also the cohos are bigger this year than ever.  Lake Ontario has always had the bigger kings.  Whats goin on??? Opinions....... 

My trip last week to Henderson we were taking skippers, and so was my buddies boat.  Id say more than normal.  Tons and tons of bait in the Henderson Area right now as always attracted to the structure and current this area of the lake has.    

We fished Henderson July 25-27.  It was rough most of the trip in my smaller boat but we got some windows of opportunity and put it on em.  Kings and Lakers 85-110 Down off the finger and south of Galloo island.  Spin doctors and atomic flies on riggers and wire got it done.  19lb king was our biggest fish. 

What length of leader from the flasher to the bait  head is a good starting point?  Thanks.

Headed up for 5 days any info/reports?  I hear the salmon and lakers are piling up at henchens cleaning station.  Thanks in advance....

With the high water are boats getting through the cut?

Are the fleas biting so well they are on 30 and 40lb line?

How is the bite of Henderson coming in for 4 days next week.

We fished out of stoney point light house out to the finger yesterday 5 releases 3 fish. Fished today never saw blank screens like the last 2 days!! Bait balls all over as 30 to 40ft with little to no fish around. Saw 3 charters out there today as we launched from Henderson hoping to pick up a few lakers. Never moved a rod. To add more salt to my wounds got caught on something 70ft down in 135 at the end of the trench lost my probe, torpedo and all my cable🤕🤕 that hurt must of been a sunken log or whatever cause into reverse quick nothing could be done to stop the spool coming off😠😠!! Well gonna hit tomorrow early till noon then headed back home till more fish are in the NE LAKEO.

That sucks you lost your probe.  I'm hearing reports that kings are coming out at the shipping lane wall.  Also kings are showing up at the Henchens cleaning station.  With the lake temps  a little behind this year I bet the next couple weeks more salmon will move into the area, Mountain, south of Galloo island etc.  It's only a matter of time
