I was prepared to chalk up my first success at trolling for trout and salmon on Lake Ontario a few days ago as beginners luck. However, Jude and I went out Friday for just under four hours and had some success during mid-day and reportedly slow fishing conditions. I caught another king salmon – a bit larger than my last, but not much. Jude caught a nice rainbow trout.
We caught these both about 2.25 miles out in the lake north of Sandy Creek in 150 feet of water. We were using 001 Dipsy Divers trolling 100 ft down with Northern King 4-in spoons.
Nice rainbow trout that Jude caught.
Another small king salmon – I’m told the big ones will be showing up soon…
We went out again early morning yesterday. Jude caught two similar-sized king salmon right off the bat about 2 miles out.
I didn’t catch anything until we were about to head in and had paddled over 10 miles. I was happy to pull in this nice brown trout after all that work in rough water and steady easterly winds. I love to paddle and fight powerful fish. I’m finding this type of fishing to be challenging and a heck of a lot of fun.
Nice Job , the monsters are coming in soon!
BTW, we didn't get any T-storms here yesterday… Did they come up at the Lake as far as you know?
