    Lake trout in the summer when the water warms up and thermocline sets in is the easiest time to target them in my opinion. They sit on bottom in the icewater and you basically bounce your down rigger balls off the bottom using cowbells to get them to hit. Usually 110 to 150 FOW, At times they are so close to the bottom in the summer they blend with it. I'm only familiar with east end lakers so someone else will have to help you with hamlin area....at times in the summer it's like a lake trout factory with lots of marks, east end charters rely on them at times In the summer when king fishing is slow.

    15-25 fow,,,,my AP wasn't working well so I unplugged it, after that I just had an alarm and it wouldn't engage,,goofed around with it for a long time,,Sunday it magically started working again,,,,I have a 26 foot Penn yan intruder so it is pretty stable in the wind up to a point

    Fished oswego Saturday and Sunday solo. Fished east of Port and caught 7 browns on Saturday, and a few on Sunday, surprisingly calm on Sunday morning, lots of browns around, chocolate water. NBK best spoon. My stupid auto pilot went out on Saturday in the strong south winds, so was fun trying to reel a fish in, I was the penn yan going in circles with the fish on. Only ran one down rigger rod and one floating rapala on the other rod but had fun.lol

    Curious what your thoughts on when it's safe to put your I/O in the water then pull it out and leave it on a trailer. Other year I have put my boat in around April 20th, but would be nice to fish eater weekend this year,,,any thoughts on your dates or just watch the weather?

    Here is my tip,,,don't waste a lot of time on the stagers,,,if they don't bite then go deep,,,I fished Mexico Bay from 450 feet to 40 feet and in-between on Sunday and Monday. Caught 2, and trolled forever. Heard offshore toward canada line was good out of Oswego but I didn't get far enough I guess,,,,wish I did but those staging fish marks screw me every time.

    So as a first year panoptix user I've thoroughly enjoyed it. For my setup, because of the angle of my panoptix transducer, and the blowback on my rigger cables ,,the fish marks and depth come onto my traditional sonar a few seconds before the panoptix picks them up. Which is cool to watch,,,also the traditional sonar doesn't show which side of the boat the fish are on,,,port or starboard. But panoptix does,,,,Not sure how many more fish I've caught because of it,,lol,,,by adjusting the downrigger,,, as I've always adjusted before to the fish mark depth anyway. It's given me more confidence in traditional sonar when they show up on both sonars and shows more exactly what they are doing in and across the screen...not sure if this helps any,,but makes me watch screens more😁😁

    Finished out day 3 at the oak, found some bigger fish water around 380 FOW northwest of port, went out in the morning, took a nap midday and went back out for the evening, we had better luck in the evenings which was a first for me,,,,,we boxed out at about 9pm and motored to port in the dark. Had a 18lb, 17 lb kings and a 10lb coho. No steelhead today,,,NBK spoon and dirty goose meat with ladder back flasher fished the best. Ended up with 23 fish with a couple small ones thrown back that I don't count. Put in a lot of time pounding the couple spots that were productive offshore Put in a lot of time on the water. Perfect weather for 3 days with calm waters which is very rare in this sport....joe

    Day 2 at the oak, 8 for 10, all small fish, coho, small kings and steelhead. Maybe broke 10 lbs with one fish. Cohos were good looking fish though. Mostly meat bite in 300+ FOW.

    Fished oak orchard from 3:30 pm to 8 pm. Went 6 for 7......4 steelhead 2 salmon. Every thing took a bite. Carbon 14 spoon,,,black eyed peas 8 inch flasher with green fly,,,meat rig dirty goose with 12 inch bam flasher. Fished 350 to 450 FOW. Nothing big but I thought it was a successful trip since everyone is saying it's slow out there.,,,joe

    My hats off to those charter guys in Oswego for putting browns in the boat for their clients, I could see the browns but couldn't get them to bite. And when I finally did catch one I cursed him and didn't want to bring him in the boat cause my family already went home! Yea, I know, northeast wind,,,Last weekend

    Hey, I posted that the fishing sucked in Oswego last weekend,,,but then again, in my mind I really couldn't figure out if the fishing sucked or I just suck at fishing,,,lol,,,joe

    Fished Oswego Saturday Eve and Sunday,,,slow brown fishing, they were there but tough bite. Went offshore search for salmon,,not much going on out there. Time to take a couple weeks off until things change.

    Thanks, I think I will need to angle the transducer towards back to see downrigger. May mess up the actual depth reading I would imagine
