Pigeontroller Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I got out a few times last year, got a few fish with in-line planer boards early, then a couple fish in August off the Rigger and off Dipsey's...Got a second rigger for this year, and some more rods, planning to do more of it since i'm minutes away from Lake O.

caper Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I just started last sumer out on Lake O mostly out of Whitby. Was my 1st year and I love it. Can't wait to get the boat back out on the water. Had a pretty good summer for someone who didn't (or still doesn't) know anything about downriggin!! As for tips I'm not too sure I can pass any your way but I'm always interested in new ideas. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Here's a tip for you, don't eat anything you catch in Lake Ontario. I've only caught 5 chinook from Lake O and 2 were horribly deformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmaster Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) There is nothing wrong with eating Salmon from Lake Ont ....that fish was deformed from the Hacth.. See your HUmpy in the center ..its not very easy to pick out all the bad fish outa a Million Fry.. Edited March 9, 2007 by Fishmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 We did the salmon thing for years but we are getting out a lot later in the day and have to pass over some great walleye spots on the way so we spent most of last year fishing eyes. Now that we decided to ell with the big $ derby tickets freinds are asking to go after the salmon and I hope to get out more this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassassin Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Fish have abnormalities regardless of the body of water!! The big "O" has its fair share of beautiful fish, and in my opinion is a world class fishery that we have right in our back door. For instance take a gander at these beauties from last year: Big King @ Night: My Bro & Pops With a descent king and a 17lb COHO what a beaut! GOOD MORNING Miss "O" Breathtaking Morning: What A Bigun!! (Notice the smile talk about proud of myself!) Were Lucky to have such a quality fishery in our back yard!!! and theres nothing wrong with taking a little one home for the BBQ These are short lived animals, im sure if you ate a twenty pound pike (20 yrs old) from the same waters that would be plenty of time for it to build up a signifiquent amount of mercury in its flesh, but a 5 lbs salmon is probably around 1 yr old, I highly doubt thats enough time to build up to much mercury in its flesh. Just my opinion, Jason! Edited March 9, 2007 by bassassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskieb Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I finally got a boat big enough to start playing in the big waters for the salmon last fall. Hoping to be on Lake Ontario within the next few weeks learning how to catch them. Should be fun, hopefully won't take too long to catch onto what they like. Can't wait!

spoonman Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Spring is right around the corner which means times for Lakers and Salmon. Can't wait. First start with planners, then dipsys then riggers, then casting Cleos in fall. An early spring Salmon from Last year An early Lake Trout from last spring Cheers Al www.alsadventures.ca Edited March 9, 2007 by spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
