Thousand Islands?

[CatamountRob]

We’ve rented a house in or near Clayton, NY for the last week of July, I’m planning to trailer my boat out and plan to fish. I know nothing about the area or fishing there and am open to any suggestions. I’m mostly a pan fisherman but I’m happy to catch most anything. I’ve got a 20’ Tracker Grizzly with a 115 hp motor, a basic bow mounted trolling motor and a basic fish finder.

Sounds like fun. I took a boat to Vancouver Island years ago. My buddy knew all about fishing, and while I do not care about fishing I wanted my daughter to catch a few salmon. For two days there was nary a bite. I hired a guide to take my daughter and I out. She caught salmon hand over fist. When we got in, we headed to a tackle shop and bought what the guide used.
My stubborn buddy continued on for two more days with his method, while my daughter caught a limit each day. On the third day he broke down and borrowed some tackle from us.
A day with a local guide might be a good investment.

Have you decided to trailer your boat?

“Thousand Islands?”

I prefer Vinaigrettes!

Lettuce agree to disagree…

Trolling for walleye would be my suggestion I just go back from Lake Erie and we caught over 200 trolling spoons on jet divers and long lining deep diving crankbaits with a few trophy fish. One a little over 31 inches. 10.5 lbs Lake Ontario should be similar.

Fantastic! Have fun and good luck with your fishing.

Great place to fish, no telling what you might catch on any kind of lure including just a worm on a hook. Good luck and be watchful of the weather if you go into Lake Ontario.
