Well, we left the dock around 5:30am and were setting lines around 6am. We stopped at the 26.5N line and didn't turn south until the 30N line as we picked fish all the way out. Spent the day doing N-S trolls between the 27N and 30N lines. 22 hook-ups mostly on riggers. Dreamweaver glow froggy SS was the hot spoon parked at 50 foot down on the rigger. Dreamweaver area 51 SS was our second best parked at 55 on the rigger. 42nd spoons, and sea sick waddler spoons took a few hits too. First fish in the box was a monster king measuring 42" long. He took a glow froggy on a cheater parked at 40 foot down in 60 degree water......wtf???? After 8 hours in the cooler we weighed him at a respectable 25lbs. Many steelies in the 6-10lb range. 300 copper went twice with a Green double crush glow SmartFish pulling an A-TOM-MIK green krinkle fly. 10 colors of leadcore went once with a NK Hawg Wild spoon in the 28 size. Wire dipseys parked at 100-175 out took a couple of fish with a Dreamweaver green sparkle SS and a white/green edged spiny pulling an A-TOM-MIK glow pro-am fly. Unfortunately the camera was left at home. If my clients forward them to me I will try to update this report.

The west end of lake Ontario is on fire at the moment. A TON of great steelhead and a few big Salmon.
