Sandy 8/7

Started around 7am in 150fow. Temp was way down around 110-120. It fluctuated from 42-48 at that depth between Hughes and Sodus. Started 50/50 FF & spoons. Carbon 14 moonshine on the deep rigger got the only bites (5) including a shaker and a 5 pound king. Slowly transitioned to all spoons since the Carbon14 was the only thing getting bites but nothin else doin. Fleas weren’t bad to start but got worse as we got down east closer to Sodus. Didnt mark much of anything. We fished 175 pretty hard, then out to 250 and back. Called it a whoopin around 1130am. That’s our report! A pretty sad one. I’m guessing yesterday’s hard west moved the warm water in and pushed the fish out? Hope others had better luck. Good luck if you go.

Launched Hughes for the first time this am. Went 4/7 with a 20lb fish. Other 3 included a small Atlantic and 2 pre-teen kings. Bites came 90-105 down over 225-250 fow. Mag Moonshine RV Blue Jeans took most bites but Carbon 14 also had a couple bites. A handful of shakers mixed in and a fair amount of fleas. Ran a couple different FF for a while but no luck on those.

Kempie: I'm running an 1850 Super Hawk w the 150 Merc on back plus 9.9 Honda kicker and 24v Ulterra up front. It fishes quite well for its size and handles Lake O and Erie fairly well. Had a buddy with a 17' side console and that boat fished very well with the wide beam. I normally run 2 riggers and 4 divers but have also run up to 10 lines on slow days using trees to pull 4 additional lines via inline boards with 4 persons aboard. We are limited to trolling downhill, downwind on windier days, but the portability of the Crestliner has enabled me to fish more often and more ports than I would have ever imagined. I could do without the carpet in the bow and on the rear deck but bought it used and took the best, lowest houred boat I could find at the time. It can be a bit of a wet boat as we battled some building seas this past Friday & Saturday.

Fished 120’ today went 4/7 all 4 kings. Took our first fish on the setup 90 down on rigger 11” Oki paddle Howie fly with blue silver green. Ran a mag diver down about 90’ w 11” wonderbread paddle and that got bit pretty quick took wife out 450+’ on the wire. Took her a while on that fish so 90 rigger w Oki paddle goes again and I bring that fish to the net. Her Wonderbread finally came to the net. Also took the biggest and last fish of the day on the wonderbread paddle and it took another shot earlier that we missed. All in all a good day in some semi sporty conditions. White paddles and Howie flies ruled the day. Ran a couple mag spoons on other rigger but no bites. High divers got no bites on spin doctor & Atomiks. Didn’t get a lotta action shots was a lil bumpy in the Crestliner but she continues to catch kings! The wifey, too. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Fished from 11-4pm til it got too sporty for wifey. We averaged about 8mph on the return trip. Solid 2-4s. Went 1/2. Fish landed high teener came on green echip flasher Atomik fly about 70 down in 165fow. Also took a rip on a glow Jplug run down about 110’ on rigger but couldn’t stay hooked up. Lotsa warm water inside. Started in 75fow and gradually worked deeper til got first bite in 165. 72F all way down til about 90 feet. Colder water 48F was about 100 down and that fluctuated plus or minus 4 degrees. Try it again Sat wind permitting. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Rookie. We decided to launch at Mexico anyways. Went 0/0. Not a bite. Had 42F water 60 down over anywhere from 75-150fow. 54F at 35 down Actually it started warming a bit as we got deeper when we decided to pull the plug and have our Humble Pie for dinner. Didnt speak to many other fishermen but radio chatter was also saying more of same. Heard someone had boxed 3. I don’t think we marked 3. We started around 60 fow, worked the 80s and 90s west twd the plant then out with the wind. Pulled lines and ran back inside to 60 again tried another more easterly slide out but still nothing doin. Hope others did better. Prob give Oswego a try on Sun since its closer. Good luck if you go.

LOU: I'm visiting my in-laws in Scriba for the weekend, dragging my boat from Ohio. Looking at the USGS for the Oswego River it's pumping out 79F water, 6 feet higher than 'normal,' at almost 20,000 cfs!!! (which doesn't look right, but there's some actual measurement on the graph, so...) I was thinking of fishing for stagers somewhere downwind of that river water but man, that's some warm water. I know staging fish aren't as temperature sensitive but geez that harbor is literally bathwater and downwind of there must be too? I'm newer to the salmon game and haven't really chased fall/staging fish. If the weather cooperates I'll try it since I'll be there. Maybe I'll try the nearshore waters upwind of that warm bath water? Maybe the fish will stage close but on the opposite side of the warm water? Or further downwind. Guess I'll find out. I'll post what I learn here. PM me if anyone wants to network this weekend. Good luck if you go.

Olcott 7/10
bigwalleye replied to backinthegame's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
We fished Olcott also on Sat July 10. I guess I would say we had more quality than quantity. I think we were 8 or 9 for 13/14 bites. We were working further east near the power plant, from 260 fow out 400 fow mostly by ourselves. Our best bites and biggest fish came off large white paddle w/aqua Atomik fly parked either 76 or 86 down. That paddle pulled our largest fish at 26, 24, and 22 lbs. Interesting that we did not take a fish on a diver until late in the day with a token steelhead. All fish came on the downrigger on a fly or on a spoon off a board with a torpedo diver. We had slow periods but when we caught we had multiple double hookups. One double took us 37 mins to land (my buddy Go Pro'ed it) with my wife's teener causing lots of problems near the boat while my buddy's 24lber waited patiently for the net. That took us out into 400 feet of water and we never really got back 'on' the fish going back the opposite direction. Besides the bigger kings we also boated a couple nice cohos and a couple steel. Bite really died for us around 1130am. Fleas got bad, lots of checking/cleaning. Spoon wise DW Mag Roy's Salmon Seeker continues to work well for me mid-morning, and the UV Sea Sick Waddler worked well with high sun.
