Eating-size Great Lakes Salmon.
Posted on August 31st, 2022The Grdosic family really enjoy getting out for different species of fish and also enjoying them fresh-caught. Recently they fished Lake Ontario for eating-size salmon.
Even though many anglers try and hook big Chinook Salmon, the smaller fish in the 5-7lb range are the best for eating. They usually have a firmer, pink colored flesh.
Same lures will work for the smaller salmon that includes fluttering spoons fished off downriggers, flasher/fly combination and also cut-bait/heads fished either off a downrigger, Dipsey Diver or sinking lines.
The main key to locating the smaller salmon is to get off-shore in deeper water where the juvenile fish are feeding all season long.
Make sure to check the fishing videos on our Italo Labignan YouTube channel and if you have any questions just email them to me at Ask Italo throughout our www.canadian-sportfishing.com website.
