Another ontario report

Post by Cas »

We had a slow bite out of Oswego this past weekend. Saturday, right out of the gate we picked up a laker that I bet was pushing 20 lbs, massive. Didn't weigh him, as we got him back in the water quickly. That was it for that day. Several knock offs but no other fish in the boat.

Next day we picked up this king, about 23 lbs.

Monday had some big 3 to 4 foot waves, which kept us off the lake until around 3. Fished until 7, but nothing that day. Fished depths from 120 to 450, deepest I could get on my rigger was 160 and 140. Guess I need heavier weights, and more cable, but that's tough with 3 manual riggers! Lot of cranking. From what I heard, temps were 70 down to 120 or 140', so you had to get down deep to get them. Also found out about 1/2 way through the day on Monday, bananas somehow found there way aboard the boat. I taught him a lesson on bananas.

Fun trip even though the numbers weren't there.

Ya got to watch those bananas . :evil: I questioned the wife if she brought some on Monday when all I had to show was 2 Lakers. The fishing was tough. I had heard the only cold water was 140 down in the eastern basin. I marked a ton of fish but all staged in warm water and getting them to react was difficult to say the least . Thanks for the report

Nice work Mike, congrats on the king! Your arms must have got quite the workout cranking those weights manually. Way to stick it out.

I've been bringing banasas on board all summer. I'm convinced they are bringing me good luck :?:

Great report Mike!

These guys (charter boat) finished 1st in the Pro-Am back in May of 2009 out of Wilson. No fear of bananas on this boat. :)
