Big Waves and Big Kings

The string of bumpy weekends continues!

Although it wasn't the most comfortable troll the Dixie Dandy has ever been in, the kings continued to snap.  I think it's safe to say we have plenty of staging kings in 150 feet of water or less right outside Oswego's harbor.

I'm often asked what temperature water I like to fish when targeting kings.  Well, as I have described lately, forget the cold water.  These stagers are loving the bath water, many bites are coming out of 60 degree water and higher.  Fish the marks, not the temperature!

Another key to our bites...flies, flies and more flies!

ATOMMIK Trolling Flies save the day again. I've been sticking to the standard, don't-leave-home-without-them, colors.  Hammer, TG, Big Fin, Pro-Am and Stud have been the real deal. Put a Spin Doctor or Pro Troll in front and you're in business.   

As I've stressed all season long...get here!

More and more kings continue to pile in to the Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario.  The Dixie Dandy has some great dates open still right through the middle of September.

Can't make it up for the big boat?  Check out the drift boat...it's going to be epic!  Night trolling dates are being scooped up quick, with the daytime dates going fast too.  Don't wait...you don't catch them from the keyboard!

See ya out there.
