Any news about lakers ? I tried every river mouth (winnoski, saranac, ausable) in 5 to 80 FOW without success. Lot of bait in the deeper water.

4" spoon is too big for sure, stick with light weight max 3" spoon. Look for the crazy ivan spoons.

I fished for lakers thursday, I tried everywhere and everything and got nothing ! Fish Saranac, ausable and winooski river mouth with water temp of about 49F from 8' to 80' deep. I saw a lot of bait on the bottom between 60' and 80' so, I guess the smelts are not spawning yet in the river and the tr...

Thanks, I will try deeper water too.

Hi,
I'll go fishing for the first time this year. Salmons seem to show up but what about lakers ? My usual summer playground is from Ausable to Willsboro.

Fish schuyler- Willsboro bay- 4 brothers yesterday. I never seen that much bait and small hooks, the screen was full all day from 85ft to 120ft plus.

Lake Ontario have the fleas problem for a while now and the fish population and fishing is still very good.
Fleas stick on braid line badly but, if you switch to 20 lbs mono, you will collect noting but fish.
