Lake Ontario

I went out with the new boat, didn't do much fishing, it was more to see if everything works as it should but did managed to land this impressive lake trout (guessing about 25lbs). Gave one heck of a fight, stayed deep and fought hard. Maybe it was the first of the year that made it seem that way but it was a good fight.....
Started of pretty calm, then after a couple of hours went dead calm out there. Fished out of Fishermans Pier and headed toward Stoney Creek. Blue spoon, 65 over 80 ft of water.....
Need to figure out a better setup for my selfies :)

Very nice fish even more so since you were not trying. How did the boat run and equipment work out?

Looking good. Kicking myself as couldn't get myself in gear today. Seems I missed a good morning on the lake.

Can you somehow mount the camera on the windshield or is that where you have it set up...

Thank you, motor and boat worked well, a bit of a problem with my new scotty downriggers though.... They can't seem to stay zeroed.... I would drop them down and when I pull them back up, the counter would be off by 20ft or more. Reset the zero and it would be off again. Will need to give Scotty a call tomorrow to see if we can figure out why....
Boat and engine preformed great, very happy with the setup so far..:thumbup:

I currently have it up laying up against the windshield but will probably get a small tripod or something to hold it in place... :)

Yes, it was very nice and calm out there this morning.
A great boating day for sure

Nice catch, I had my best luck using flasher and fly and going slow.
