    Depends on lure type, conditions, and depth. That day I was running my lower rigger at 20’ behind the ball with spoons, 10’ with spin doctors.

    It was a Pearl warrior spoon. I’ve had it for about 4-years and it’s always a top spoon in the spread. Pretty good longevity for 4 years on these toothy fish!

    Fished 9-11:30AM east of Fairhaven. 125-150 FOW. Went 4/5 on Kings. All kings on the same spoon and depth. 72 feet down, 2.6 mph and 49 degrees at probe. Downriggers took all hits, nothing on dipseys. Spoon was a green and silver ladder back but first fish chewed the tape off the spoon and the next 4 fish hit the blank silver spoon. Nothing over 5lbs. Wind died and it got hot!

    We fished Saturday morning and got soaked. We found three Atlantics but no browns. Atlantics were out in 19-24’ on smithwicks on boards.

    Hand pulling copper in Seneca Lake for lakers and the solid copper broke in my hand, about 300’ of line lost with Pflueger. A week later was pulling down rigger ball in the mud for lakers and snagged my 300’ of copper, tied it back on the spool and was back in action! Dropped my sunglasses off the boat while trolling in Oswego, 30 mins later, checking down riggers and the sunglasses somehow looped around the Downrigger line so I got them back.

    Fished Lake O. Out of Oswego Saturday morning and got the big skunk with battling boats packed in 120-200’. Decided to pick up and fish Skaneateles in the afternoon for walleye. We picked through a steady catch of rock bass, smallies, and perch for about three hours forgetting about the skunk fest in Oswego. Right at dark we pulled a bottom bouncer and worm harness in 40’ and hooked up our boats PB walleye at 8.4 lbs. Fried walleye tastes better than salmon anyway!

    I fished from 60-300 today in Oswego. Didn’t pick up a fish till we hit 70’ looking for browns. Piles of bait in 60 degree water at 70’. Only action was a double, one 7 lb brown and one 14 lb king. Both on downriggers with spoons. Nothing on leadcore or dipseys. Washing spoons most of the day. At the fish cleaning station charter captains were bringing in coolers of salmon so they found them somewhere.

    3/4 on Kings straight out from Oswego in 350-400’. 50’ down, orange spoons. Leadcore and dipseys. Nothing on riggers yet. Trolling north to south. Hoping to put a few more in the box before we head in.

    You can find a lot of the data you are looking for in the annual DEC Lake Ontario Report. It is usually about a year behind because the data is still being collected and analyzed. Look for the “Population Characteristics of Pacific Salmonids Collected at the Salmon River Hatchery” section. It gives an overview of the size and age of chinook collected every year. https://dec.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/2022lakeontarioannualreport.pdf

    Yes, you can crank them down as hard as you want. There is also a tab you can pull out on the Scotty pinch pad that makes the tension even tighter. No problem
