torco Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well I was lucky enough to be invited by my brother inlaw last minute to go on charter sunday morning. He works in the marine business and one of this contacts happens to be a charter boat operator on the lake and had a free day, so he took us out at no charge It was a beautiful day on the water, the sun was shinning the winds were mostly out of the east and the waves were not too big. Although the fishing was slow we managed to boat 3 of 4 fish. Here is the first fish of the day It weighed in at 26lbs, not bad for my friends first ever Lake Ontario Salmon Our friend continued to have a good day with his second fish even bigger at 28lbs. Needless to say he was pretty pumped The 28lber had a lamprey on it which we removed and killed. We may have actually saved this fish's life, who knows. We caught one more it was small chinook and I was the goat of the day losing the other fish. Still what a fantastic outing. All fish today were successfully released to swim another day. Our captain was very diligent with taking the time to properly release the fish. In terms of lures all were caught on a flasher and cut bait at about 90 feet over about 200 feet of water.

BillsTheBassMan Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Great Report Mark - nice to see you were able to get out and try something a little different - a great year to fish for Salmon on Lake O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks, it was a lot of fun. Growing up as kid I would spend a lot of my summer with my uncle in the Soo and we would spend a lot of that time trolling for salmon on the St.Mary's river, Lake Huron and Michigan. It reminded me of that but the fish were bigger on Sunday! I will actually have another report in the next couple of weeks. My bro is getting married on the 14th so my relatives are coming down for the wedding so I booked a charter out on the 13th. Hopefully my uncle can get into some salmon as well because I know he doesn't fish much for them anymore and it would be really special for him.

kyle7273 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 That's a real great way to spend "the day before" with close friends and family. Here's hoping calm seas and clear skies for your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
