Lake ontario april 26

[Foulhooker]

Fished Lake ontario in the morning on Wednesday. Overall was a light bite launched at st Catherine's before first light. Stopped all over trying to mark kings boated just past port Weller and found a pocket of warm water on the probe. Was next to nobody in the area and got to work a small pocket or warm green water that was holding bait. Took a bit to get a program dialed but went 8 for 14 on kings caught a 5 lb brown and at least a dozen Lakers. At about 11 the fish completely shut down couldn't buy a another bite so we called it a morning and left. Overall was a good start to the early season more kings should show up as the water is still very cold and not set up very well.

Excellent! Got pics of that boat? Looks pretty cool, what kind?

@Porkpie 20' lund Alaskan tiller with a 115 etec. I only have 1 pic of the boat and it's not very great. The boat is nice cause u won't find a boat with more floor space fishes 5 guys no problem does 40mph but it's a wet ride for the driver at the back.

Nice work Foulhooker!!!! Can I ask what speed you guys were trolling at and what “baites” did the heavy lifting?

What’s the best water temp for kings in close?

The warmer the better….

@Tyler0420 What he Said find the warmest water. The probe is key this time of year most times I find it's not the surface temp as much as bottom temp that matters. The surface water is typically within a degree or 2 in a 10 mile stretch its finding that warm water 20+ feet down. Find suspended bait n u will find kings stacked up.

Great boat, I just about had my rig sold and was going to buy a newer 18 foot Starcraft Freedom out of Chatham and my wife intervened. She wanted to keep the windshield. Happy wife as they say….
