Here's a Lake Ontario report for you from Canada.
At the Meet & Greet, stinger extends his invite to go trolling for some Lake O salmon today. Initially, I had booked the microscope at work for today...but when I weight 7 hours of dark room imaging against the recent action on stinger's guide service...I decided working on Saturday isn't so bad
I arrived 20min late from our prearranged 4:00am start due to car problem (BTW, I'll have to wait until Tuesday for a opening to have my car inspected
). I was halfway to stinger's place when my car started making funny noises. So faced with going halfway back...or keep going the same distance and fish the day and worry about the car troubles later...I chose to get off the highway and use the city streets to get to stinger's
When I arrvied, D-wayne and stinger were ready to go.
When we launched, the sky was just getting colour. The wind was light. We quickly headed out to 80+ FOW and began setting up rods.
stinger actually had all 4 rods set up without any interruptions
The starboard downrigger was fishing 55 FOW with a flasher/spoon. The starboard wire line was fishing 40+ FOW with a dipsy/flasher/fly. The port downrigger was fishing 65 FOW with flasher/herring strip. The port wire line was fishing 40+ FOW with a different dipsy/flasher/fly.
About 30min into trolling with the full spread, the meat rod bounced up and quickly popped back down. stinger checked the rod and the meat was still there...fish wasn't
Another 30+min later, the flasher/spoon rod went off. I yelled "Fish!" and stinger yelled back at me "Quit sitting there yelling FISH and get to the rod!"
So I took the rod out of the holder and made sure the rod had popped off the downriggers. I offered the rod to D-wayne but he graciously let me take this fish. Thanks D-wayne! 
The fish was mostly fighting on the surface, giving two jumps and tried to mess up the spread by running close to the port side rigger and the wire line. In fact, it came very close to the wire line 8O stinger instructed me to get to the front of the boat and fight it there.
After two netting attempts (gosh, they don't like the look of the net at all
), it came into the boat.
First double digit salmon for me on stinger's guide service! Stinger estimated around 17lbs...I made it look 30+
My day was made. I could have gone home right after
Well, next fish is D-wayne's turn. Okay...a shaker on the port side downrigger off the meat doesn't count. Back to D-wayne's turn.
Not long after, as stinger spotted a few marks at 50 FOW, he said...watch the rods...and off goes the wire line. D-wayne grabbed it and he was fighting it for a few minutes...until it came off. Might have been my horrible boat control...sorry D-wayne.
Quite a bit of time later, the flasher/spoon rod looked a bit funny...and another shaker came in for a little C&R.
We saw a few more marks at stinger's GPS waypoints, but only a few lookers and some didn't even bothered to look.
So we started to troll out going to 150 FOW. stinger put out a lead core line putting all 10 colours out then adding a port side planar board to get the dipsy/flasher/spoon away from the boat...hoping to get some of those shy fish to hit.
It got SOOOOO busy trolling that D-wayne got really tired of all the triple headers we were handling
We did a whole lot of searching but didn't spot any bait or marks. Back in we went to search shallow...really shallow in about 50 FOW...and saw nothing. Water on the inside was 63F. At 80-140 FOW where we were fishing in the morning, it was 64F. We decided to go way out searching for warmer water and found a consistent 66-67F at 200 FOW. By now, it was 11am and the west wind started to pick up. It was a bumpy, splashy ride into shallower water.
stinger asked D-wayne whether to continue searching for bait and fish or not...and after a rough and drenching ride, the decision was to head in and give this one to Mother Nature.
In total, we went 3/5 including the two shakers. We just didn't mark a lot of bait or fish out there and everyone reported a slow day. One of these trips, D-wayne or myself will hit it on a banner day...we just have to keep trying with stinger.
Thanks for the invite! It's always a fun time. You can yell at me any day stinger about boat control or fish control
I'll remember how to steer the boat next time
