Just a short report on our adventure on Lake Ontario and thanks again for all the pm's and replies last week.
We got out on the water at 6 and followed the train of boats leaving the harbour. We made our way out to the starting depth and were trolling as the sun peeked over the horizon, just a beautiful start to the day. It wasn't long and the fog closed in on us but we kept our senses tuned, watched the GPS and fired off the air horn with a short blast to let others know of our where abouts and continued our troll.
We thought we were hearing things as we could of swore that a boat was running wide open, couldn't be as you could barely see in front of you. However we were not hearing things. As the sound got louder a cruiser appeared out of the fog and was running towards us. Luckily it was slightly off to our starboard side and missed the planer board by about 15ft. Good thing the got his boating license, at least I'm assuming he has it.
It seemed to take forever for the fog to lift and for that first fish to come. We had no luck in the "shallows" and made our way out to the blue zone. Once there the action picked up. Nothing big boated but we got 3 bows and a shaker coho, one screamer was one for about 2 seconds, a couple others lost and lots of bumps.
A fun day on the water and you couldn't beat the weather. Luckily no one was hurt and we were off the water at 5pm. A long day on the water with a slow bite for us but couldn't think of a better place to send the day. Will try to get out there again and give it another shot hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Didn't take any pics on the water but here's a shot of the one 1 kept for dinner. Gotta love a BBQ trout.
