Salmon Fishing – “The Best we have ever seen”!!!

06. 28. 18

In 36 years of professional outfitting, we have never seen King Salmon fishing better than it is starting out in 2018′ The combination of strong bait fish populations, temperature and an over abundance of “naturally reproduced” Salmon has led to fishing conditions that rival the BEST we have ever seen!

There are two time frames that really exhibit the very best in King Salmon fishing. The first is what we refer to as the “Hot Zone” period. This time frame represents the last week of June through the month of July! The “Hot Zone” features bright silver Kings from every year class. Angler’s could take a 25 lb. fish followed immediately by a King that weighs in at 12 pounds. Kings have to eat every day during the “Hot Zone”. This is why they achieve 30 lb.+ weights in just 3 1/2 years! This is good news for the [Read More]

KING SALMON (Staging) – Great Fishing Opportunity on Lake Ontario!

02. 25. 18

One of the most written about time frames to fish King Salmon on Lake Ontario is the Staging Time frame. This time period occurs from mid- August through mid-September. King Salmon at this time are grouping to run tributaries. At this time of year, Salmon are approx 3 1/2 years of age and are at peak weight. They have fed voraciously in an effort to build body mass and strength. Generally these big fish will stage in 60 to 130 ft. of water off the mouths of tributaries where they were stocked. This gives anglers a unique opportunity to target them (in mass) before they run the tributaries to spawn. [Read More]

Meet the BSO Team at the Bloomsburg PA “Early Bird Sports Expo” on Jan. 25th through the 28th. Thursday through Sunday, our Hunting and Fishing Team will be at the EXPO! This is one of our favorite times of year because we get to see all of our old friends, meet some new ones and share the memories of our days spent afield and on the water. In the TECHNO AGE that allows a BLOG like this to be written, it is still a “Sad Substitute” for looking someone in the eye, swapping tales, answering questions, shaking hands and generally getting to know someone. As communicators in the industry, we long for the engagement and want to see our clients more than once or twice a year! [Read More]

June – A Great Month for GIANT Lake Trout!

03. 23. 17

The eastern basin of Lake Ontario is one of the most diverse fisheries in the world but it is certainly punctuated by the GREAT Lake Trout fishing that is found here. During the 2016′ fishing season, the Saiff Charter Fleet had more requests for dedicated Lake Trout trips than in any other year. We think the reason is that: Anglers in North America are realizing that Lake Ontario’s Lake Trout fishery is among the best in the world! Why is Lake Trout fishing so good in the eastern basin? The answer is that [Read More]
