Fished the Oak 18th,19th and 21st,I bay 20th and Sandy 23rd

Aug 18th
fished solo 3 rods and couldn't find the fish.Finally at 11:25 when I got to the 32 line(600') got a small steelhead on the rigger.Skunk was off and 20 minutes later boated a 20lb king on the dipsy KOS flash mag.Headed in shortly after as storms looked eminent.


Aug 19th
Back at the oak solo cleared the break wall at 5:30 am and headed straight to my way point from the previous day. 10 minutes after I set lines the 45' rigger fires and a major peels off 500' of line heading to Canada. 20 minutes later I boated a 25 lb king. I took 3 more kings 8-13 lbs and 6 steelhead with a couple nice jumbos. ended the day 10 for 12.

Fished off Rochester today,very sporty out there but made it out to the 24 line(500') and found some fish 6 for 6 with a 23lb King 5 steelhead with an nice 11 lb fish.
Stingray size frost bite took the king and 3 others and Bob Fuller custom paddle took the big buckeye and same patterned spoon another

Aug 21st back at the oak
Rough day at the oak 6 for 7. Two skip kings the rest steelhead was out to 32.5 line and worked back in very sporty out there today.Was Hawaii like waves and rollers



Aug 23rd Sandy

Great day ran off shore east out of Sandy 32-33 line(660') and we slaughtered them! 18 for 26 Kings and Buckeyes lost 3 absolute slobs, one cracked off the 30lb leader on the dipsy after burning out 550' of wire, another off the rigger went down hard and burned out so much line he ended up getting over my shot gun 400' copper that I had a pike bobber on.Free spooled the copper line, it was out 200 yards and he still found it and wrapped around it and came unbuttoned.
Still landed many kings up to 20 lbs and jumbo chrome. Frost Bite was the work horse along with FLT King of Sting flash also a few on wonderbread moonshine.Riggers,dipsys and 400 copper all working

Your fish pictures are awesome; however, I'm having a hard time understanding what you are writing.

ask questions,I'll be happy to enlighten you

Where is the Oak & Sandy?

Lake Ontario.... Oak orchard is Pt Breeze NY and Sandy Creek is Hamlin NY

Dvd:

I fished Lake Michigan las week. It had been pretty slow before we got there. First night was a waste ,but the morning was good. We landed 8 of16, Kings between 10 and 22. We got them mostly on j plugs. The rest came on dodger and flies. We chartered, as I hadn't been there in 30 yrs. we had 14lines out downriggers at 40 and 60 ft, 2 lead core lines, 2 dipsey lines, 2wire lines,and 6 lines with 6-8 oz weights and inline planer boards. They leave all the lines out with a fish on, and if the fish doesn't play nice it gets messy.Lost a few that way, and snagged a four -seems they were getting foul hooked.

Sounds like you fish a lot more spoons. It really was good to feel salmon pulling on a rod again.

keep after em!

Some great fish.

Subtract the taxes and politics and I love NY
World class fishery,great hunting for big whitetail and waterfowl
Chop off the south eastern part of the state and I'd never even consider leaving

Have worked a number of jobs in western New York, and the area is a paradise.

And the local guys are some of the biggest hearted and most sportsman like I've ever known.

I'd also postulate that Buffalo has maybe the highest percentage of hot women in North America.

For those of us who only fish smaller lakes and streams pictures of the lures would be interesting.

This was the hot spoon SundayFrost Byte..so hot I ran 4 of them


Custom painted Spin Dr. And fly

More spoons from Finger Lakes Tackle Co.

Another good day here but still 15 miles off shore

dvd, you suck, your ugly and your feet stink!

Nice fish, Lake Michigan King fishing has been terrible the last couple years. The experts aren't sure why the King population is so low, but it appears L Ontario is holding it's own.

Love the pic where your buddy has his feet spread wide as possible, like you say, "sporty".

You smoke any of those fish?

I mated for a friend on his boat this morning. Caught a couple kings and a steelhead off shore then motored in to 140' and pulled a big boy off the bottom so some staging beginning. The gentleman who caught it is a marine who deploys Monday to the Middle East. I couldn't t be happier for him!

Great Photos! I do miss fishing the Oak....

That is Perfect! Also motivational.

Our season is cranking up now and should be in full swing about Sept 15th- 20th

The Salmon are coming thru the McNary Dam fish ladder about 4000 a day, and the steelhead about 2000 per day. At the peak they will be 3-4 times that volume per day.
