    Thank you

    Years ago, I remember checking a Lake Ontario color satellite map of surface temperatures. Does anyone have a link to it (if it's still active) .

    I've done a fair amount of diving and filming in that river over the past 2 decades. That said, we've struggled to catch fish consistently there, even though I know where they hang. Frustrating. Anyway, I'll give you some general location advice. I bump into a lot of walleye on the edges of the main shipping channel. East of A Bay, Chippewa bay area.

    If you have a Roamer or Chamberlin type releases the braid should be ok. You might have trouble with the clip type. Let me run this by you though. If you have three rods and want to get more baits in the water, run a flutter spoon as a slider on your existing down rigger rod. A slider is simply a 5ft piece of fluorocarbon line with a snap swivel on each end. after you set your rigger rod as usual, simply attach the flutter to one snap, and the other swivel to your mono going down to the ball and toss it in the drink. It will slide down to the belly in the line. Now you're running 2 spoons off your original down rigger rod. Now take that rod with the braid and run a Dipsey diver,or similar dive planer off of it. Now you have 4 baits in the water and by using the setting on the diver, you can get it a little bit out to the side and widen your spread. I think this will be more productive, and it shouldn't cost much.

    Thank you. I have quite a few on my you tube channel that were filmed in the St Lawrence in previous years. This year, the only thing I filmed up there this year was a little piece on underwater lighting where I evaluated an inexpensive light for sports cameras. It's intended for divers, but here it is. Picked up one nice coho and a laker trolling Ontario yesterday. Marked lots of bait.

    Hello Everyone I'm Jim Kinner, a longtime fisherman and diver. I fish the tribs pretty heavily during the runs.When I fish lake Ontario, I have a 12 year old 18 ft aluminum and a bunch of mostly 30 year old gear. Got riggers, Dipsy's and boards. Best suited to running spoons, as I have a lot of them. I do have some dodger and fly rigs, and a spin doctor or two. Also have some old J-Plugs. I don't know if anyone fishes them anymore? I'm located in Tonawanda N.Y. We mainly run out of Youngstown and occasionally Olcott. I like fishing the bar, and adjacent waters. I fish lake Ontario only about 6 times a year. It's always nice to get current information & I hope this site helps with that. I have shot underwater video for years. here's my latest from the upper Niagara. Hope you enjoy it.
