Sea Trout

While I am enjoying the Florida fishing and sunshine, the phone has been busy scheduling Spring and Summer Lake Ontario Charters.
I start my lake season in mid May and Browns and King salmon will be active in the Oswego area. While the Penn Yan may be in deep storage for the winter, Mike and Beth at Mikes Marina have my to do list which includes some upgrades and preventative maintenance.  Jeff Wallace says he will be back on-board as mate for the season and everything is falling into place. Weekends are about gone but I have a lot of afternoons and weekdays still available. If you have the itch to river fish in April, I had a few days open up. Give me a shout. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Best Fishes, Troy

Mother nature has given lake Ontario troller’s every type of conditions imaginable in the past week.
We have seen torrential rains, stiff winds, dense fog and dead flat beautiful sunny days!
Just like the weather the catch has been from one extreme to the other.
One trip the cooler is full, the next trip you were scratching your head wondering if you are on the same body of water you were yesterday.
I am blessed to have the greatest clients in the world and at the end of the trip when they are smiling and scheduling for next year there is really nothing more I could ask for.

Fishing remains good across the Eastern basin with a respectful number of Kings being caught about everyday. Lake trout are hugging the bottom in 130 to 170 FOW and browns, although very scattered are being caught near the harbor in 15 to 30 FOW.
Spoons have been the ticket for everything although a few guys are running cut bait.  Green glows early, black and silver patterns and yellow on the rare occasion we see the sun!
The phone has been busy, but I am always slow in June, in fact June is my slowest month of the year, go figure.
Fortunately that gives me some time to catch up on house projects and travel to see some family and friends. That being said here is what I have left open for the summer lake season.

Sheepshead

My fishing season in Pine Island Sound is coming to an end. I have about a week to go and it will back to the Salmon River, and mud season, chipping ice out of the guides and chasing Spring Steelhead through the rapids. I love the warmth but miss the ironheads, so its off to the north I go.  This has been another incredible season for Shelley and I. Although the red tide and toxic flows from Lake Okeechobee did in fact kill many fish, are local waters did well and aside from the loss of our trout we pounded on Snook, Reds, Snapper, Sheepshead and Jacks all winter. We had more cold fronts in late February and March then we needed, but we got by and stayed on the fish. Every year gets busier down here and I hoping to stretch my season into early April in 2020. Just like my lake and river trips in NY, I suggest you lock in your days for fishing down here as soon as you can. I am blessed with great clients, warm weather, killer fishing and a fabulous wife/ partner and dates are going fast. Anytime you want to talk fishing, just give me a shout.
See you on the water-Somewhere!
God Bless! Troy

The maestro @ssharpior was back onboard today and we picked away at them from beginning to end, snook, jacks and snappers, finishing up the day with a big girl and a nice red.
