Fished the Big"O" Aug 11th 12th and 13th for King Salmon. I caught one King 15lbs.36" long. I took it on a meat rig in back of a 3 sided spinner. Thermal was at about 55 to 60 feet down. This one came at a hundred down and 35’ back

Nice fish chief. Where were you fishing out of? I’d love to get out on the lake, but I don’t trust my little 14’ row boat to keep me dry. I’d probably get pretty tired trolling with it too.

We fished out of Fairhaven just 20 miles west of Oswego. My friend has a boat docked there. It’s a 22’ Great Lakes Special. Nice fishing boat for that water. There are charter boat that dock at the same marina, they came in with fish everyday. Chief
