    Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be the blue leopard but wasn't sure. Another quick question, if you don't mind. Are the spoon backs you use primarily silver? I'm stocking up for a trip next week and primarily have silver and hammered silver backs on the spoons I purchased so far. Good Luck on your next trip.

  2. Thanks for your feedback. I'm new to the site and am anxious to fish Lake Ontario as part of my Great Lakes bucket list. So you have to forgive me for all the questions. I did get an annual non-resident license starting on July 1. From the beam of your boat in the photo, it looks like you might have a boat similar to mine.  I have a 17' Lowe 170WT. Was wondering how far back from your transom do you have your riggers mounted? I have 12" Bert's tracks and 8" risers, but not sure if I want to mount the rigger(s) on each riser or run a rigger board of either flat aluminum or rectangular tubing from riser to riser for more rigidity, then mount the rigger(s) on top of it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Again, I apologize for the questions.  Jim

    I believe on my gps it was 3 Miles to get to 240 range and I personally like south , south west or north west wind I’ve never had any problems just your typical easterly winds seem to be slower days ... a lot of boats are fishing 400 feet of water I personally haven’t pinged many fish and had no luck that far out been doing very well in the low to mid 200 ‘s this week
    Thanks so much for the information. You've been a big help.

  4. My name is Jim and I live in Northwest Ohio (Toledo). I'm an Air Force veteran and retired environmental health specialist. I've been fishing for as long as I can

    remember. I would love to fish Lake Ontario for the fantastic salmon fishing.

     

    I have a 17' Lowe with a 70HP Yamaha and no kicker.  I've fished Lake Michigan for salmon, but my deep water gear is limited to Magnum dipsy divers and lead core. I

    have a Scotty 1101 electric down rigger ordered and need to work on the rigger installation before bringing the boat over for a trip.

     

    I plan to do a recon (without my boat) of the western lake area in the next few weeks and would appreciate any information regarding boat ramps to

    check out, and places to stay over for a few days. Looking forward to another new fishing adventure. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
