Ontario salmon/trout fishing

[lineman49]

Yea, talked to Mark from KingFisher charters today & he said the same thing about the kings being out deep yet. We hope to get up there again for them, they fight a bit better then those walleye boots we drag in, but the eyes do taste better!

Lineman not sure if it got posted to lake ontario united but i know 2 guys who were out of the oak Monday and both boats went over 50 fish each for the day. Slammed them those are unheard of numbers. Lakers steel and kings mixed in.

That sounds like good perch #'s lol. My buddy that went with me the other day said they had 30 - 40 fish days 20 yrs. ago but never had the size that they are now days for the browns. They sure are some nice size fish & really healthy looking. Fun to catch!

Gentlemen,

Was wondering if any of you had any suggestions. I normally fish Lake Erie for bass, perch and walleye, but was hoping to take a trip to the Oak, since I live fairly close by. Thing is I have no idea what techniques to use to land a few salmon or lakers. I do not have downriggers on my boat, since I typically drift fish on Erie.

Am I outta luck or are there some simplistic techniques that I could use that would make a boating trip to Point Breeze worthwhile?

Thanks fellas,

Matt

Matt more info what do you have boat - gear anything for any kinda trolling

I have a 20' deep V Aluminum Blue Fin boat with a brand new 135 hp Evinrude e-tec H.O. outboard. I do not have any downriggers. I do have a few dipsies, jet divers, etc, but am very much a novice at using them.

I am usually a drift fisherman. Trolling interests me, but there are so many facets to it intimidates me to be honest.
