    Fishing the west end labor day weekend.

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    who will be fishing the west end of Ontario this coming weekend??
    We will be fishing out of Wilson or Olcott this weekend. depends where I can find a slip??

    We will be up from Saturday evening to Monday afternoon fishing Wilson/Youngstown. Be careful if you rent a slip from Wilson, there was a boat parked in the one I purchased last trip up. Seems like a free for all down there. Let me know if anyone knows of any in Youngstown also. And does Youngstown launch have a cleaning station?

    Would any of you guys that are coming up be willing to share information when we are there? Could help all of us weekend warriors out a bunch

    My fishing partner has arthritis and doesn't have the hand dexterity to comfortably turn standard size reel handles. Our Daiwa 47's are getting old and maybe ready for retirement, I have some oversize handles on those but he can run our SG57LC3B"s and the high speed retrieve Okumas that I have leadcore on. I'm sure others on here have the same concerns - what does everyone use?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    These might help on the reeling end also. never used them but seem like they would help a person with arthritis matched up with a high speed reel Image1534947157.917233.jpg

    Wilson/Niagara bar 8/12

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    Went out of Wilson and ran to the Niagara bar. Went 14-35ish with atleast 10 shakers that were released in good health. Started in 140 fow off the break and got 4 to start off the morning. Went kind of quiet for us so headed offshore to check that out and did nothing out there in 300-370ish fow so headed back to the bar. Got set back up at 10am and boxed 4 solid fish on first pass. Worked 80-120 Finished off our limit in the next couple hours with some nice fish.

     

    What worked:

    -300 coppers with 8” spindoctors and meat rigs and FF

    -High braid divers back 120-160 on setting 3-1/2 with 10” spin doctors and atomik flys.

    -Wire divers back 130 on setting 1-1/2 with diabolical meat rigs 11” pro troll flashers

    -riggers one at 70’ with 10” spin doctor with atomic fly (took our biggest bite) but lost fish.

    Kept a spoon on probe rigger most of the day and that took most of the shakers.
