Trip Summary

The LOC was still going on so we decided to try and catch a good brown trout this Saturday. Well the weather man had different plans. Friday was a BIG blow form the NE and pushed in ice water on the beach. We still tried to make the best of it. NO good. Big scratch Zero. Plan B We slid off shore to the **hidden content** feet of water, immediately hooked up three kings in no time. Tried to weigh our best one, the digital scale decided it was on strike. Pick up rods and ran back into the harbor to get it weighed. Was a great fish but only 18lbs. Time for lunch !!

Had three guys who never experienced Lake Ontario Salmon fishing. I hope you can see where this is going. We set up Northwest of most other boats form Wilson Harbor fleet. Our water depth to start was 305'. Top temp was 44 and down temp was 43. Nice pocket of water to start in. First fish of the day was on a A-Tom-Mik meat rig down 70'. This was our big fish rig of the day. This rod was unstoppable. Tom Allen was right when he said this was the Go to Rig. Flounder Pounder spoon down 35', Yachtsman Spoon on a Chinook Diver set at 90', and a 300' copper again with Spin-doctor /meat were the consistent producers. We ended the day with 12 keepers. Multiple throw backs around 8-10lbs, handful of shakers as well. Big fish were in the 17-18lb class. Shakers are small kings / Coho that resemble big stock trout. They hit very hard , but do not have the weight to pop the releases. If your gear looks like it took a smack, check it, these little guys wont release much. So to save them and keep your spread in the action check lines and check often. Broke a very large king off a 300' copper right at leader / copper. Best part if any of this was about an hour later, I was up in the tower and saw the same fish swim across the back of the boat....meat rig and Spin-doctor in tow. Shopping event forth coming Saturday nite, early Sunday morning thunder boomers went thru. West -Nw wind 10-15 waves were 1-2. Very comfortable. Cool and overcast on the water. On shore was warm and nice. Wind let down as day progressed.
