Heading out of Jordan tomorrow, any tips?

First launch of season, any tips?
 

Its my 2nd season on Lake Ontario and still learning the ropes.

My plans are to stay shallow.

 

Any help always appreciated.

Might get some browns in shallow if you find green stained water. 

It's transition time for the kings now, you might get some.. lots of lake trout in 70-110fow

 

Good luck

I was planning to go too, but forecast said 20 k north winds. Tip? Have a bigger boat than me

...just checked again...winds not as bad as predicted. Why do I make my plans best on the weatherman?

how did it go? I opted for pike on a small inland lake instead...got enough snotrockets to last me a season

End of May..  I'm usuualy slamming fish of Bronte in 160-230.   But I haven't been out yet this year.  This time of year fish can be whereever they want. I would suggest reading Dan Keatings books to anyone new to trolling

Headed out of Jordon (water low so launch process was sketchy and slow) but I was the only one there so no hurry.

Water was a little choppy to start but smoothed out at 10am for a perfect day.

Started season losing the downrigger ball right away so dipseys and shallow water it was...

One day I will tell the story of when a first mate reads you the water temp 57F instead of the water depth 35ft...

I was given the old Walker downrigger last year so the line needed replacing anyways.

I headed south and zigzagged 40ft to 70ft and the sonar was empty most of the day.

No fish, slight sunburn but overall a good day considering what its like out right now.
