For my son's graduation from high school and his 18th birthday which were a week apart, we hooked him up with a two day fishing trip charter. Back to back days fishing on Lake Ontario aboard the Fatal Attraction fatalattractioncharters.com/index.htm with Captain Brian Edwards who we had met working on another boat last year. Thursday was a 1:00 afternoon start and Friday a 5:00AM start. Capt Brian had picked our starting target area. Right off we had a 23lb king on. After a 20 - 30 minute fight my son had the first fish of the day on board. The action was hot, lake on its best behavior, and even after releasing back some 8-10 lb Kings and Steel-head we were close to our limit. Bingo, another 20+ King brought an early end to day one. Day two, same spot caught and released a 5-7 Lb King right off. Missed two with one straightening the hook after about 15 minutes into the battle. Then the bite died. No bait on the chart, swapping rigs out, complete drop off. No two days are the same on Champlain either. After a couple of more passes Brian went on the hunt. Networking he found although smaller catches, action in front of Oswego but nothing happening out deep or west. He decided to go to an unlikely spot where he had found them hiding before. Not one boat for miles in this area and what do you know, the bait started showing up. First an arch, then a vertical arch right after and Fish-on! He found them and we had a 20+ king in the box. We worked the area for the next few hours landing four 20+ Kings with one at 25. My son was able to limit out two days in a row. Again we released fish; 8-10 lb Lakers and Kings. Quite spoiled we ended up not keeping anything under 15lbs. It was a special trip for a couple special occasions that really provided priceless memories. We had the good luck with weather, fishing, and the choice of boat and Captain. Thanks Brian!!! Some of the pics below. Hope to post a video of one of the beasts being landed later.
