Not sure about wisdom but definitely many hours spend trying to understand the mindset of theses stagers. There are countless ways to hook up these kings. We had fun shooting this video especially with the under water footage strengthening a lot our theories while explaining our approach. This is the perfect time of year to target them which typically only last a moth at best. Good luck out there

Port Hope has some incredible fishing this time of year. Probably the best stager fishing Lake Ontario offers. Although it Sounds like they are a little later this showing up this season they’ll be there. I’d say you’re in good spot. Best of luck

That’s too bad. We absolutely love the set up. And luckily haven’t had any issues like that. A perfect Great Lakes boat for chasing these kings. Hopefully they can catch up with your issues now things are are a bit more relaxed in the industry after the COVID craze

We’ve haven’t personally tried em but out side of musky hooks possible being a bit large I’m sure you could trigger strikes with em in the stager grounds ya.

Sorry for the late reply Our camera guy used a troll pro camera housing designed for use on down riggers. It comes with attachment with a short cable to get away from the cannon ball disturbance. We ran pretty short leads to help keep in the camera view. But honestly works great.

Our camera guy used a “troll pro camera housing” designed for trolling behind down riggers. We ran a pretty short lead but the housing is designed to take away any wobbling and turbulence. Works well

Andy Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been forced to step away from the water for a bit but can still chyme in on messages like this. Although we’re a week since your message it would typically be tough to find lake trout in that area most of the season. May is a good time for lakers but when in the west end of Lake Ontario I would recommend the south shore spanning from the Niagara river to Hamilton and the north shore typically has some good lake trout fishing from Oakville to hamilton. I like the bronte area best. I don’t find Temperatures play a big roll when targeting lakers. The majority of lakers ontarios lake trout population like deep cold water. We often fish 60 to 100 ft of water when in Bronte aiming our baits several feet off bottom. With either mag spoons or a flasher/deep rig combo. I find spoons are the most rewarding fight as these deep lake trout are not the hardest fighting fish until near surface so the least resistance bait like a spoon helps with that. Jigging is also another great technique if equipped with spot lock on the trolling motor. If I were in Humber bay this time of year I’d point towards the east gap where you can often find some kings including a deep water program. Extremely deep 150 plus. Please feel free with any other questions or comments. As tough as it’s been off the water this spring it’s still great to chat about fishing

Pole setter. I apologize for the late reply. Unfortunately we’ve had to step away from the water this spring. I honestly have confidence in both sizes. I typically run the smaller size if just using a single treble hook but know several guys that add a trailer side wash to dangle just behind the bait when using the large size when looking for a larger presentation especially when fishing deeper.

I agree slide divers are another option. Everyone has there preference no doubt. Appreciate your insight and taking the time to comment. Cheers

Hi@@silversalmonchallenge1807, I haven't used slide divers but I understand they are useful. The methods I was commenting about use dipsey-diver style divers and various methods to remove them from the line so you can keep reeling beyond the diver location. Thanks again!

It was a pleasure having you and your school mates out. Great day fishing with young eager anglers introducing you to our incredible salmon fishery. We Look forward to doing it again with your crew.

Great Happy to share. I have found the shorter the lead quicker the speed but let us know how it works for you

Thanks for reaching out and passing this along. We really enjoy using this platform to help share countless years of knowledge that don’t really apply anywhere else in the world. And if it helps advance anglers, like yourself have better outings It’s great to share
