    Looking at my 2nd, and likely last, trip for salmon for the year. Very limited Lake O experience, last trip we managed 1 bite in 3 days on Niagara bar...of course they started killing them a day or two after we left. So as far as this time of year I am clueless as to where to start. Where have the best reports been and our best chance of getting into some fish? Any and all help greatly appreciated!

    We only got 1 bite this morning, headed back out in about a half hour, if we find anything working I'll pass it along here Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Don't know if it helps much but according to my fish hawk trolling west down speed was close to SOG within .1 or .2 at most, trolling east had to go about .3 SOG faster than intended down speed, didn't seem like there were crazy currents going on or anything where we were.

    We are from Michigan, drove through Canada to get to Lewiston NY area to fish this weekend. Does anyone know the requirements/restrictions for crossing the border with fish? I've fished IN Canada and crossed back into US going home no problems, didn't know if there was a difference going from US to CAN and back to US. Tried doing a google search but their info is pretty vague, figured I would see if anyone had personal experience with it so I can plan my route home (staying in US is 90 miles longer) Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks! Making the trip to fish the bar this weekend. I'm guessing it's best to launch at or after daylight right now due to all the debris? Was gonna put deck lights on the boat tonight but don't think I'm gonna waste my time from what I've been reading it wouldn't be wise to be out there when it's dark right now Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Ended up doing an arbor knot just like my mono reels it was just harder to tie. Then one full wrap of gorilla tape so that didn't spin, hopefully it will be fine the wire bit on the tape the first few passes so it should be I imagine. First one was a PITA, 2nd rod I ended up tying to a tree and unspooling the new wire, tying to the reel and then reeled it all on under pressure like fighting a fish went on much better Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Getting all my rigs ready for the weekend, setting up my first wire dipsys. I've read to tape the line to the reel so it doesn't slip but what knot do you use underneath to actually tie the wire to the spool? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Nice! What program was working? Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks, my plans WERE both weekends but if it's too rough to fish most of the time it's not worth the trip no matter what. Very much appreciate the wind info. Looking like 20+ NE Friday, 15-20 SW sat, and 15-20 NW sun. All rain. Not looking good, we will see what it looks like Thursday and decide Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I kind of figured it was similar to western lake Erie but thanks for confirming. Guess we will see what the weather says in a couple days here Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Unfortunately, I'm not local so I kinda gotta either make the trip or dont. I watch the weather channel app for precip., iwindsurf for wind and always take a look at NOAA too. Am I right in guessing that the bar area with 20+ mph east wind is basically not fishable in a 21 foot boat? I usually fishbthe western basin of Erie so I'm guessing "bad" winds for Niagara area are similar to here...east being worst followed by north?

    Gotcha, thanks. Rain (or more likely the barometric pressures etc) usually slows down our aleye fishing back home, didn't know if the cold water species were the same in lake O. Appreciate the info, as of now looks like strong E wind friday, hope that changes Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    So...we all know how accurate weather forecasts are(nt) BUT as of now it looks like rain all this coming weekend, how does rain typically effect the spring bite, good bad or indifferent? Wind doesn't look great Friday or Sunday either but first things first I guess Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
