what's new?
It's Sept. 4th and the fishing is as good as it gets. We are hitting lots of fish and limiting out almost every trip. In fact the only day we didn't limit out was Sat. morning when I had 5 people on board, but we still landed 13 Salmon. Here's Mallisa with 2 of her 3 fish limit. Her Husband Dave also landed 3 nice salmon for another limit. We should have great fishing for sometime with nice weather expected this week..
August 17 and the Salmon fishing is getting better by the day. The weather has been stable and that makes for good fishing. Here's Dave from Syracuse with his crew and a nice catch of salmon steelhead and lake trout. The fishing will only get better from now on and it's already great fining. I still have some openings in early Sept, Call my cell at 315 271-8773, I'm on the water every day.
7/15/11 Wow, is it really mid July? The fishing is as good as late August. Look at these big Kings. We had 18 bites on friday and landed 14 fish, most were big guys including this Monster 17.5 lb Brown Trout I'm holding. The fish are everywhere, out very deep and in shallow to 110 feet of water so there's a lot of good fishing yet to come. I still have some weekends open but call son, they won't last long.
7/5/11 The Salmon are here and the fishing could not be better. Last week we were fishing for brown trout and started catching some nice salmon. We changed over to all salmon gear and are doing lots of king salmon, we pretty much have the lake and fish to ourselves, not many boats out. Call and book early to get in on this fantastic fishing.
Memorial weekend and the fishing is still very very good. Here's Tony from New Jersey with his son and 3 son inlaws with another limit of football browns. Also Brian, Dawn, Jared and Bill, from Scranton, Pa. from June 4th with their limit of Browns. This Spring has been Fantastic and I heard the Salmon are showing up already. Looks like tons of Salmon again this year.....
Ok, It's official. This is the best Spring I have seen in the 25 years of fishing Lake "O". We have landed well over 500 fish, and some very nice Atlantic Salmon. Here's Dan with a dandy 14lber caught on May 10. His party landed over 15 fish. Next day had 2 trips and hit 8 fish in 30 minutes only to land 1, but we worked them and ended the morning with a bunch. Afternoon trip was even better, hit a triple then back to back doubles, with 2-10lbers. Here's a pic of Steve and John with there crews catch, and another Atlantic Salmon...
April 27th and the fishing could not be better. Have landed almost 400 fish, with 50 fish days being the norm. Lots of bonus and big fish also, 6 atlantics over 8 lbs, 4 browns over 10 lbs on one trip. A big northern pike, and tons of nice healthy brown trout. Check out my new videos from last week on the media/gallery page. Here's the Ploss boys from April 27 with 4 fish on at once (Quad). They had 6 Quads on their trip and landed well over 40 fish. With the cold spring we had, I think this fishing will be fantastic right into June...I'm on the water just about every day, call my cell phone to book or ask any questions.
Thanks, Capt. Dave
Well, The 2011 season has started and did it start with a bang! Ask Shawn and Stacie who fished with me on the 19th, They only hit about 60 fish in less than 4 hours, at one point, they had all 11 rods fire with (fish on). There 2 daughters tag teamed a nice 9 lb, 27 inch Atlantic Salmon, not bad for 7 and 9 year olds, not to mention all the other browns they slammed. this family landed about 40 fish, and it's been that way for the last week an a half. this is the best start to the spring brown trout fishing i've seen in several years. Oh yes, here's Keith with his 12 lb Atlantic Salmon from April 15th. We've had some nice size fish also, a fat 14 lb Brown, several 9 to 11 lb brownies, 2 big Atlantic Salmon, and a huge Lake Trout about 13 lbs. Here's Shawn with just another brown, and Keith with his 12 lb Atlantic.
Well it's late August and the bite is on. Here's Jeff, Bob, Randy, and Jerry with a nice limit of salmon from 60 feet of water a little north of my port. These guys fished two 6 hour trips and landed 23 salmon. It doesn't get much better than that. In fact the last 3 days we've landed over 60 salmon. I still have some days open in Sept. so call my cell to book, or check on days that are open.
Wow, look at this monster. Troy Brown from Moscow, Maine had a life long dream to fish Lake Ontario and catch some big fish, and that's just what he and his family did. Here's 10 year old Josh with a 33 lb king that hit the first rod in the water after only 60 seconds of trolling.
This spring we caught a bunch of atlantic salmon but none were legal, well Troy ended the small atlantic salmon problem with a 16 lb trophy. His wife Sheree had a ball landing her 25 lb king salmon, and they did all this on rough seas on Aug. 17.
Well I finally pulled the trigger on a new boat, it's a 27 ft Sportcraft with tons of room and storage for all my gear. I moved some of my new gear and electronics and bought even more stuff and it all works to perfection. First trip out saw us land 4 nice kings a steelhead and several small salmon.
Well, the fishing is still very good. First fish of the day, this 12 lb brown trout. This year has seen a lot of big fish for us and some very happy clients. This makes 5 brown trout that tipped the scales at 12 lbs or more.
Well the fishing is still hot, here's Dave Og with a nice 7 lb walleye, I call big Dave (banana hands) because he makes the fish look small. I'm holding a 12 lb and a 9 lb brown trout, we landed close to 20 fish including 2 coho and 1 atlantic salmon.
The fish keep on coming, today, a northern pike, 3 atlantic salmon, and a bunch of browns. The browns are running big this year. Here, 8 year old Conner with his 24 inch atlantic salmon, too bad it had to go back. I'm holding the monster of the day, a 12 pound brown that hit just before we started picking rods. The video of this trip will be up soon.
Well, the boat is in the water and the fishing could not be better. I was able to put the boat in a week early due to the nice weather and called some clients, moved their dates up and had the lake almost all to ourselves, and we pounded on the fish. We've caught all kinds of fish, lake trout, coho salmon, Atlantic salmon, a couple walleye, and lots of brown trout. The browns are running big too, the biggest so far is a 13 lb hog, we lost another brown behind the boat just as big, if not bigger.
The big surprise is the number of Atlantic salmon, just about every trip, we get a couple on. The size of the Atlantics are from 17 inches to about 23 inches, the legal size is 25 inches, so they all go back to fight another day.
Capt. Dave is fishing almost every day so feel free to call his cell to answer any questions or book a trip.
