This will be my second year Salmon fishing and second year in the Lake Ontario Salmon Derby.
Now that I'm an expert I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who helped me along the way, I'll be thinking of you all when I'm standing on the podium with my 38#er this summer. :moose::silly::fish:
Very excited to get started!!!
Jeff
Being ''cocky'' dosen't make you a winner... Get in line you are going against guys that do this 7days a week. But good Luck!

Damn lack of tonal inflection in type.
Someday......I'll be middle class and be able to take out a second mortgage for a decent boat and embarrass myself all to hell in the derby. But for now I'll stick to river fishing close to home. Good luck fellas, I can't wait to see this years pics.
Dave, you have an open invitation on my boat if your ever over my way. JeffQuote:

We will talk of the forum as we are feasting on beer and pizza ;-)
I have mixed feelign about those derbies... lot of guys just get into them for the prizes...
by the way, the salmon fishing has been TERRIBLE this year so far
Good luck Jeff! I hope to take the boat up next weekend. Wife made plans for me this weekend:(. Let me know how he fishing is.
Jeff
Hope you place Jeff, just got a "boat" myself, she gets her maiden voyage this weekend for bass :), good to hear your finding the time. Hope it went well.
I have a week or so of work to do to her and I'll hope to get it in the water next weekend.
John, did you get a bass boat or something you can use for Salmon as well?
I have heard the fishing has been tough this year, but not for us. Been out 3 times in June, catching chinnys, cohos and rainbows. Sunday was the best, Steady action all morning, even kept 6 smaller ones for the smoker. Boated this big one too! Not a tourney winner, but still a beauty!Quote:

Good looking fish but an even better looking boat! :-)
This is a 12 footer, I got the 14 which is the same, but with more front/back cargo space. Should keep my cameras safe and dry. Plan/hope to take it out on Lake O for some Kings probably later when they are closer to shore. Might be useful this fall for some WFing as well.
Just tickled to be back on the water

Sweet Little setup John, should get you up close and personal :-)
It works and saves maintenance, towing, etc, etc, thats all I need to go fishing :)
Glad to hear it went well. Now just little projects through sumer and time to enjoy it and some fishing.
:)
Winds and weather are looking beauty for tomorrow morning North Shore. I will be heading out for first time this year with wife out of promenade. Hopefully the fish gods are good to me...
:fish:
Do you guys think it would be good to have a lake Ontario salmon fishing section on the forum? So we can post report, location, time, lure, depth and so on.... A bit like the LOU forum. Not sure how many of us would be interested or do fish for salmon but I would be one of them.
Seabast
I'm into that. I read lou all the time and in july and august I'm out there 2-3 times a week.
Have fished the salmon hunt for a number of years and once placed in the top ten. I buy my ticket because you never know when the big one will hit however last year was the first year I did not buy a ticket. One of their rules is everyone in the boat must have a ticket to participate regardless if they fish or not. Last year my 10 year old son wanted to come fishing checked with the salmon hunt and they said if I wanted him in the boat it would cost me a full ticket for him. I explained to them I understood a 2 man team fishing 4 rods should pay to play however a dad fishing with an inexperienced minor should be given a break. They said no so I boycotted the hunt as they don't support teaching the young and inexperienced.
I hear you.....Quote:

Good luck this year to everyone
WooHoo, sitting in my hotel in Istanbul, waiting on Aeroplan to confirm they get the wife and I home on Monday .... Which means I can be out fishing Tuesday next week!!!
We had a great 10th anniversary cruise and now are just wanting to get back home to our boys.
HunterDave, if you get the chance to get out with JeffB, take him up on it. He took me out twice last year and we got into some good fish and some great memories. He's a stand up guy and I can't wait to reciprocate with trips on my new boat.
You also have an open invitation on my boat as well. I launch out of Lakefront Promenade.
I'm in for a Lake O section on the board as well.

If you 3 could come down for a morning that would be great. The other option is to meet in the middle around pickering and Eric can drive you guys from TO in his new rig and we will fish 2 boats.
Once July rolls around I'm off Fridays so depending on weather I'll be out there Fri-Sun in the am.
Lets wait till Eric gets back and arrange something.
Have fun up North!!!
Hey Guys, Back now and back to work. I'm up for getting together - but it'll be tough scheduling. Can't do weekdays and weekends are filling up fast. But lets talk about trying setting something up.Quote:
