Today we had the pleasure of fishing with Chris, Eric, Dave, and Mike aboard the Billy V II.  It started out a little slow for us but ended up being a great day.  We had a 3" Perch attack one of our KA-BOOM Goby baits and swallow the entire back hook right after we got set up.  How that entire hook fit in his mouth is beyond me!  Then we went for a long, unproductive boat ride working the inside water East of the chute and didn't hit our first real fish until 8:30am or so....We boated this beautiful brown that took our Northern King Glow Frog off a rigger down 7' in 15 FOW.





We worked that inside (10-20FOW) water for a bit more with nothing else to show for our efforts before finally deciding to head out deeper.  We switched our program over to a steelhead & king program and once we hit 100FOW the fireworks started.  We spent the next few hours doubled and tripled up on Kings and Chrome in 100-120FOW.  It was crazy-fun in the back of the boat!  Here's a video of us doubled up on a couple of small steelhead:

I had hoped to take more pics & video but we were flat-out in the back of the boat for quite a while!  Our best set up was a 6 color core fished off of the boards pulling a Northern King NBK.  That got bit 4 or 5 times today.  We also took multiple fish on an NK Orange Crush off the 20' rigger, a KA-BOOM fl red/Black Squiggles off the boards, a DW NBK on a 4 color core off the boards, a DW Steelie Cane off the 40' rigger, and a DW Orange Slurpee fished off of the 30' rigger.  We released all of the steelhead that we caught today.  The big fish of the trip was a nice King that took an NBK off the 6 color core.

Best speed for us today was 2.4mph on our Depth Raider.   No derby fish for us today, but what a blast!  We did have a big fish break off our 10lb leader at the end of the day...no idea what it was, but it sure had some shoulders to it!  We only brought two fish back to the cleaning station as we released all of the steelhead that we caught so that they could live to be caught another day.  Here's a picture of the happy & tired crew with those two fish at the end of a great day on Lake Ontario:



Thanks for a fintastic day fellas! 

Until Next Time,
Fish On!
