| Eastern Lake Ontario | Updated 8/15/10 |
(All Fishermen)-Fri-Sun Breakfast starts at the Westview Lodge @ 5 am. We'll see you before you hit the water.
This photo says it all...As expected, the Saiff Fleet is in the middle of the fray when it comes to King Salmon fishing in the eastern end. What a way to start the Staging process! Read on for the tips and techniques we are using!!!!
Make no mistake about it! There is a reason to fish with a 7-Boat fleet, and these pictures show why. The coordinated effort displayed by our captains help the fleet stay on fish every day. When a new opportunity present itself we know about it first and can exploit it to the fullest!

Flasher
Combo Pro Troll E-Chips get the nod at this time of year. The White 8" at left has taken both Lakers and Kings this week. A 22' A-Tom-Mik Pro-Am fly is the medicine behind this flasher. |
| King Combo Kings are aggressive on the bite right now so small flashers at high speed are doing the damage (2.5 Knots). Don't be afraid to tail-gun at least one bait at 40+ feet. Short flies (22 inches) behind 11" Flashers is also a hot way to stay in contact with aggressive Kings. Right now White and Silver herring bone combos are the hottest for trench fishing. |

Laurie Flagg poses a trophy Laker she took while fishing with her niece and nephews. This Hog Laker took a Cowbell combination in 130 feet of water on the West side of theFinger.
Brandon Shepard (Laurie's Nephew) holds his trophy Laker.
Here they are: Taylor, Samantha and Shauna getting it done on Lake Trout and Brown Trout last weekend. Taylor won 1st. place in last winter's "Hard Water Classic" ice derby. She got to take 1 adult (her grandfather - Phil Dulmage) and two other young fishermen with her on a Saiff Charter fishing trip. She chose her friend Samantha and her sister and fishing partner Shauna. Congratulations girls.....

Lake Trout Action Hot On the Finger! Taylor Brown holds a 30" plus Laker taken on the 130 ft. contour on the West side of the finger. Lake Trout action has been superb in this area over the last month. |
Huge catches of Lakers and Big Browns have sustained us while we wait for the staging Kings to arrive. The diversity of Henderson Harbors fishing is why its the only place to take your fishing vacation!
Capt. Bill and Cindy Downs show off her big Laker.
Same trip-Different trophy! Here is Cindy's husband Kip with a big Summer King!
Some other photos from this summer!
This is why anglers travel from all points of the globe to fish with the Saiff Fleet. Our multi-boat fleet finds the fish, and stays on them better than anybody in the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Capts. George Kogut ,Dave Zangari and Pete Barnes helped Bill III stay on top of the fish last weekend. The result--Great numbers of Steelhead and Kings. You should see what we released!
Here is "Soon to be married" - sorry boys "Jenny Roy" with the 30lb. King she took with B III on Sunday. This fish went 772ft. on the strike. The brute hit the "Wire" trolling a Pro Troll White E-chip with a Pro-Am fly 22 inches behind.

Laker action still good at the Lane.

| Lake Trout action is hot at the shipping lanes right now. The effective depth is 105 ft. with baits trolled within 10 feet of bottom. Silver/Gold Northern King Cowbells and Chartreuse/Fire tipped Cowbells are the hot combinations. We are using two tone green medium sized spinners alon w/ Bumble Bee spinners trolled 32 inches behind. |
Here is the newest addition to the Saiff Fleet. Her
name is "EKHO" and she will be training to take over
some of the duties during the fall when we pursue
ducks and geese with our sister company- Seaway Waterfowl
Professionals. EKHO comes from Reondo Labradors in
Plymouth, Me. Our friends Norm and Dossey Viger raise
a great line-up of dogs.
Capt. George putting the Whammy on Big Bass!
Judd and Sarah Wagner are no strangers to big fish-especially Bass. Here they are fighting a double as George (the legend) Kogut looks on.
Judd hold a fish that's headed to Charles' Taxidermy. This beast measured 21 inches long and tipped the scales at 5 1/4 pounds.

Big Bass on
North Shoal Big Smallmouth are hitting on North Shoal just of Galloo island. 10 to 15 feet seems to be the magic depth. We are trolling J-9 fluorescent Rapalas at 2.2 knots. |
Browns & Lakers-this week.
Todd Winger and his family from Maine got
into some great action on Lake Trout in the
Shipping Lanes this weekend!
Sporting the lucky Bill Saiff Outdoors hat, Mark took this chunky Brown in front of Stony Creek.
Mark and the gang show off the limit of Brown Trout they took while fishing with the Saiff Charter Fleet!
Troy hooked this nice Steelhead when we went to a spoon program after catching our limit of Lake Trout. The long trips with the Saiff Fleet give anglers a chance at more than one species.

Browns still biting at Stony Creek! The overcast conditions and slight chop made for fast Brown action on this day. Brown have been holding in 50 to 70 feet of water in front of Stony Creek. We are catching them 20 to 50 feet down on the riggers and also 105 ft. back on Wire Dipsey combos. Natural colored Michigan Stingers are what's working best right now. |
The Massena NY connection (Tuffy Peets and
family) get in on big Laker action! Below, Capt.
Bill III holds one of the great trout taken on this
great May outing.
This is a great way to spend quality time with the family. Above the entire Peets clan show just some of the great Lake Trout taken with the Saiff Fleet.
The Ole' Man Sets the Benchmark!!!!
Russ, Tom and Dad are pictured here with the biggest Northern to come out of our waters this spring. Tipping the scales at 22 lbs. This is a perfect example of why anglers need to be fishing here!!! Congratulations Boys......
Spring Classic Derby
The Saiff Fleet wins in two divisions......
Laurie Leroux holds the 11 3/4 lb. Pike that she caught while
fishing aboard the "Rod & Reel Jr." While this fish just missed
the top 5 spots it did garner the Captain's "Pro Purse" for Bill III.
Laurie landed this brute in Sherwin's Bay.

Tough Body Baits for Walleye &
Northerns The new KA-BOOM baits have been getting a work-out from the Saiff Fleet. The big Northerns above were taken on the "Shiner" with its wide body design, re-enforced tail section and extra strong Eagle Claw hooks. Some of these Pike completely engulfed the baits.... In fact, one giant bit the plug off the line behind the boat! "He was a dandy" |
