walleyes , we usually fish the river but decided we should give chamo a try

i have never fished chaumont bay . any ideas where to fish on the bay. will be launching at public bay in town by the river. the bay looks very large so thought i would ask where to fish in the bay

i have heard we can fish in canadian waters with a canadian fishing license and you have to be vaxxed. does any one have any info of this being true?

fishfull thinking, she is out of sodus ny.. we caught a brown, a rainbow and 2 king salmon on our trip out. melissa Roloson. she has a site on facebook. she runs a 31 ft boat, 12 ft beam. salmon where around 18lbs.

just did a great charter out of sodus bay.. great spring trout and salmon fishing.. captain got us on the fish..

i just ordered new line for my planner boards and also went with 200 lb power pro line...

bull head where on the bite may 1st. we caught about 24 keepers in 4 hrs. looking to be another great year up in the clayton area...

thanks, yes we always give the Canadian side a wide birth. i try not to push the line. it will be interesting if the border opens , will we have to report in to fish canadian waters , im hoping we dont have to report , fish , with a canadian license of course.

thanks for every one posting. yes that is the area where we have been looking. last season we got taken out of the game when the oct 31st storm blew thru. we ordered a new hull and are looking foward to giving the 2020 season a try. we had to replace our 18 ft tracker targa with a 2020 19ft tracker . red canvas on a red boat.. so will be giving the 2020 season our 2nd attempt.. lol

well the border will be closed for some time. we are out of the cape vincent area. where would any one search for muskie? 30 ft of water, 200 ft of water? most of the spots i know of are closed because of the border issue.. any thoughts? clayton, the cape, alex bay?

2 names come to mind immediately paul corbett the irish hammer (24 foot hewescraft) https://irishhammerfishing.com/about-your-captain and one could not discuss st lawrence musky with out discussing bob walters...https://www.newyorkupstate.com/outdoors/2019/06/monster-muskie-st-lawrence-guide-says-he-videotaped-world-record-fish.html i personally have been out with paul corbett and cant say enough good things about him, great , professional, great personality , great fisherman... with that said bob walters is also a great fisherman, knows the river , and has some great electronics aboard his boat.. how to choose between the 2, i suggest a flip of the coin and who may be available for you. i would check in soon as im sure slots are filling up quickly....

one of the biggest improvements in fishing. love spot lock. we find we stay within 2 or 3 feet of our position. you will be very happy with it...

we troll the south side of carlton 20 to 30 feet of water... deep diving baits seem to work well, pike, walleye and bass.. you can also troll the shore line from millens to linda island area has produced some nice fish, again in that 20 to 30 ft range.. good luck

well the gales of November came early and took the goby slayer original with a massive storm that blew threw October 31st cape Vincent.. well enough with the bad and on to the good.. over winter we ordered a new 19 foot tracker targa tournament edition, we used the motor off the old boat so it is a 2013 mercury optimax last of the 2 strokes so we kept it and had it put on by Bryce marine. well I have to say the new boat came in and it is a awesome piece of equipment. comes with a helix 7 down image on front interfaced to I pilot minkotta , know if I can only figure out the pendant so I don't go around in circles, son of a,.... lol the main display is a hummingbird helix 7 si and the display is crystal clear. amazing image, going in for canvas hopefully this week. but really after looking at the screen and playing with it some, I am really impressed... so wanted to pass along what I am seeing. big thumbs up for the helix 7... had I had a choice I would have went with a bigger screen. know I am gonna try to add my hummingbird 999 si to the network, cables are ordered.. I see I have a big learning curve to go... looking forward to a great 2020 fishing season...

if you decide to go to trolling plate, use the easy troller trolling plate cabellas, it has a spring on plate so if you throttle up u wont bend the plate like the older ones did. and yes every one sooner or later would forget it and bend the plate. I used the new one with spring its perfect cause if u throttle up u wont bend it and u know its down.... u can buy wings for it to for getting up on plain quickly. really nice set up.... on the one I had I cut a slot at 45 degrees because it slowed me down to much at 90 degrees.... the hydro foil option is really nice to because you don't get that high lift on take off, u go right on to plain... but expensive....

actually no I didn't, just tied to rope and threw out.. worked great for me.. I would try one before you spend any money... might do exactly what u want, and I would bet u probably have some lying around every one does...lol, I wouldn't even drill any holes... I just used my rope I use to tie to dock..

I have ran both over the years... trolling plate works very nice and nothing left in the water. but if you don't want to spend the money the cheapest option is 5 gallon buckets... you can toss one, and if you still need to go slower you can toss a second bucket. bags I wouldn't spend the money. buckets work awesome.. we trolled for walleye in Canada an would usually run one bucket. slowed us down very nicely. easily get down to 1.8 I think 2 buckets I was at 1.2 mph with a 18 ft 150 hp...
