This is why we fish Lake Ontario and it’s rivers.
Well, we couldn’t get out for our afternoon trip on Sunday due to approaching thunderstorms, so we took our party out on Monday morning instead. It was a good move. The fishing was good, not great, but we did have one of the highlights of our season. They landed 8 brown’s, one of which was …

A great friend will be sadly missed
This isn’t a fishing report, it is a way for me to let everyone know, that my good friend, Jerry Babcock, lost his ten year battle with illness. I met Jerry, and started taking him fishing, 17 yrs. ago. Jerry changed a lot in the last 10 yrs. as a result of his physical problems, …
So many fish…that don’t want to bite.
To say that the last couple of days have been difficult, would be an understatement. The strange thing, is that we have all the Brown Trout that we could ever ask for. Each boat is marking hundreds of fish each trip. The bait is there too. The weird weather, lots of storms, has them in …
Fishing still good. But not great.
Wednesday was a lot of fun. We had a great time fishing with the Hurd family. We are spending our time in the same spot each day, Catfish Creek to the High Rocks. The fishing has been ok, but if the weather would stabilize, and the thermocline would sit still, the fishing would even get …
Heavy rain. Heavy fish.
To say that we got some rain early in the week… would be an understatement. Sunday, the fishing was good, until the rain came. After the downpour started, we didn’t do much. Before that, the fish bit well. With all the rain we have gotten this year, we should be in good shape on the …
Early summer brown’s
Well, summer has started. The brown’s have moved off shore and so have we. On Friday and Saturday, the fishing was up and down. Down on Friday and Up in Saturday. We worked hard for a couple of fish on Friday. Thursday we had high wind and couldn’t get our trips out. That wind moved …
Well, we got some good old fashioned summertime thunderstorms this weekend. We were unable to complete any of our trips as a result of them. Saturday afternoon actually started out well with 3 browns, a two year old Salmon and another shaker King in the first couple of hours and then… the sky lit up …
The 30th. anniversary gift.
Today was cool. Germain, from Montreal, surprised his wife of 30 yrs. with a fishing trip. We started out for Brown Trout and then went deep in search of some exotics ( Salmon, Steelhead etc..). They landed 8 beautiful fish. The brown’s were in 45 – 65 ft. of water up off Drowned Island, and …
Back up North for Brown’s. They’re still there.
We headed back up the shore to Southwick State Park to see if the trout from a couple of weeks ago were still there. They were. We fished 48 – 65 ft. of water and caught fish from 22 ft. – 42 ft. down on riggers, leadcore ( 6 – 7 colors ) and wire …

Remember…take kid’s fishing.
Well, we had a blast on Friday and Saturday. A grandfather, two grandson’s and big Lake Ontario Brown Trout. What a combination. Though the fishing was better on Friday, we did manage to land some on Saturday as well. Actually the kid’s landed 13 of the 14 fish over the two day period. The only …
