Port Hope salmon

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

A Kayak angler buddy of mine got 3 chinnys last Friday NIGHT out in front of there.
They are starting but not many caught off the pier yet. The full moon this weekend may get some more going,
but expect the major run later like in 2 to 4 weeks after a heavy rain. However a more silver fresh one from the lake is more
desirable. This time of year salmon will head in shallow at night and head back out at day.
I'm looking forward to playing with the mud sharks too, such a blast from a yak. :)

( maybe check the quinte site ;) )

Well I will make it short and sweet...
Seems the salmon are staging right now in 25-40 fow right in front of the harbour. We did see a lot of people fishing and watched one guy hook up only to have his line break.
Fishing on the lake was rather slow to say the least. We talked to a few charters and seems all week the fish were biting and then Saturday Sunday developed lock jaw...
Talked to a ton of people who were on the water and no one seemed to have much luck... We lost 2 and that was all the action we got...

Yaked fished thurs night / Friday morning.
Nothing during the night, it was warm and don't think many came in shallow, although
you'ld see the odd one porpoise. Come sunrise, and could see lots of salmon porpoising
further out in the harbour. Felt wonderful peddling among the fish and got action.
What a rush ! :D
