Chinook Salmon

Solid Salmon Action for the 4th of July

We had an excellent 4th of July charter on Lake Ontario with Brad Heat and Andrea Brannen. The bite was steady, and the action didn’t disappoint. The highlight of the trip was an impressive 8 lb 10 oz King Salmon, along with three more solid catches all tipping the scales over 5 pounds. Weather conditions were ideal, making for a smooth and productive day on the water. Great company, quality fish, and beautiful lake views made it a memorable Independence Day outing. Looking forward to more trips like this as the summer salmon bite continues!
