  1. We fished 350-420 this morning. 1 nice king 24/25lbs plus a decent steelie 8/9lbs and an immature king. Ended 3/5. Temps were up and down. We found better temps around 350 to end the day but no bites. All fish caught same spot near 415’. King took a DW UV mag wonderbread off dipsey while steelie came on Carbon14 moonshine 92 down off rigger. No meat no FF bites. Try again Tuesday. Other guys at ramp said they went all way to the border landed a couple steelies out there. We found the fleet working 350’ early afternoon when we quit. Colder water there than out in 425+. Good luck if you go.
  2. We fished 300-350 fow this evening for a couple hours but nothing doing. Wicked current headed ENE almost 1mph. Will go deeper tomorrow I guess. Weatherman says the lake should be calm?!
  3. Weather looks good for Monday Aug 28 so planning to make the trip from Ohio. Possibly fishing Tuesday Aug 29 morning, too. Is the best bite still deep/31 line? Does anyone want to network? PM me.
  4. Fished 4-8pm today. Mostly 300-400 with 360-380 being ‘best.’ Boated 2 immatures and 1 steelie, lost another steelie. No matures. 43-44F 95-105 down 48F 95 down 54F 80 down ’Heard’ at the ramp the matures were out 700 feet. Anyone else hear similar?
  5. If anyone fishing Oswego this weekend (Aug 5 & 6) wants to network or just trade reports please contact me. My wife & I will be in town visiting her folks. We’re not in any of the tournaments so happy to share what we find out there. Mark from Akron, Ohio two16-three38-three459 smellfishone at gmail dot com
  6. Can anyone recommend or suggest a marina that offers month to month dockage anywhere between Rochester and Oswego? I’ve got a 24’ Pursuit I’d like to park somewhere in August and September. I’ve fished out of Hughes and Wrights Landing in Oswego, but not familiar with Fairhaven at all, for example. Appreciate your suggestions.
  7. Mine was reading 3.8 or 4.0 which is apparently the death knell. Called FishHawk they asked for serial then sent me a new probe in less than a week. at least you made lemonade outta lemons on the lakers
  8. 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.
  9. 1 of 4 fish netted Weds outta Hughes had a lamprey. Back in early May almost half our fish (12-15 fish) off Niagara Bar - had lampreys on them. That was an awful high percentage I thought? The ones that come on my boat go back in 2 pieces.
  10. 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.
  11. Message me? I’m planning to fish Mon & Tues from the river or Wilson.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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
