Time line question

[CaptSpike]

I'm trying to schedule in two trips to Ontario. I was wondering what would be a good time line. I have fished as early as Aug 11th on a charter where we had one king hit and the rest were browns and lakers. The following year in my own boat I fished the mid Aug. and did quite well. I also fished every weekend in Sept. and did well when we got out.

Do you find it less or more likely to get out on the lake at a particular time of year? Or is it like the ocean can be good or bad depending on the weather pattern?

I am looking to get out mid week a Wed- Fri fish and head home Sat.

That way I hope to avoid most of the crowds. Toward peek season anyway.

I read thru last years reports and couldn't get a feel for what was going on. Seemed to lull a bit in Aug.

I'd like to get out the week of the 25th but have already commited to the Martha's Vinyard Top Gun tournament. So I'm thinking a week or two before or the week after as a target time frame for the first trip.

Any opinions or help is appreciated.
