Lake Ontario King Salmon: The Lures, Depths & Trolling Setup That Worked
Captain Ken breaks down a recent Lake Ontario king salmon trip out of the Port of Rochester β including where the fish were staging, the depths he targeted, trolling speed, spread and the lures that produced.
We get into glow spoons, Wonder Bread, J-Plugs, lure color choices for the stained Genesee River water and how Ken adjusts his setup as conditions change.
But the best part of the trip wasn't the gear. A 10-year-old angler landed his first king salmon β and the biggest fish of his life β creating the kind of father-son fishing memory that makes days on the water worth it.
