Force of one

Took a friend, his son-in-law and grandson out today. None of them had ever been salmon fishing before. Left the river at 7a and headed west, started in 100 fow. 2 riggers with spoons and cheaters, two dipsy's with flasher flies and one 300 copper down the chute with an MC rocket.

First hit was on the MC rocket and landed my friend his first 14lb King. Got the eight-year-old a little 10-pound king that he could handle on the down spoon at 60.

Then the frustration started when I tried to get the son-in-law hooked on a decent fish. got him hooked up on four absolute screamers on diver flies which all ended up breaking off. I lost about $50 worth of spin Doctors and flies today. Beyond frustrated. These fish were absolute Screamers. I just tied everything with new 20 lb seaguar blue. I guess I'll have to try using snubbers on the divers. I explained to him a number of times he couldn't horse the fish, And he had to let them run, so I think part of the issue was him horsing the fish and the wire that would not give. Drags were all set very loose on all the poles too. Very frustrated. Maybe I got a bad lot of leader?......

My personal best day of fishing on lake Ontario topped off with my personal best fish! Jeremy is a top notch angler with a wealth of knowledge. He is also an all around great guy. We had an amazing day on the water!!

sub troll display and probe for sale. No wires come with this. Display lights up and reads for a bit when probe is lowered then shuts off after a while. Not sure if it was the rigger cable that needed to be replaced or? $125.00 for both. Located in oak orchard.

PM me if interested.

I would like to, but I'm pretty much solo, no witness in the boat.[emoji45]

Anyone doing the Orleans County Derby??

Jeremy,
Really appreciate your fishing reports. This is my first year fishing for salmon on lake Ontario by myself, your reports are an invaluable source of information.
Just wondering why you we're targeting 60 degree water? Bait balls? Marking fish?
Thanks,
Mark

What is your "go to" meat rig?

Is it true that king heads do not have to be adjusted (versus Rhys heads)?

Dream Weaver or Michigan stinger nbk?

NBK plays like a champion. He catches everything. UV NBK is my new favorite spoon

Thanks!
