This is one of the most interesting sunset pictures I've ever taken.
This is a typical sunset on Lake Ontario.
This sunset picture was taken while fishing on our boat.
The steam from Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant is an excellent wind indicator. When it goes straight up the wind is light enough for us to fish. This was a very calm day.
Hurricane Irene!!!!
Jason joined us for a few days. We were able to walk down to the water's edge from the Fort Ontario park. See the steam in the background? When it's like that it's too windy for us.
Nice picture of us!
At the end of the tour, our very young guide had us "load and fire" the canon.
Then John and Jason marched back to store the ramrods.
It was interesting to learn all about the fort's history.
It took us a while (several days) to get out on the lake due to windy conditions, but once it calmed down out we went. This first salmon was most welcome.
Another calm day - a bigger fish. The side of this big one is discolored due to being in the cooler.
These three big ones tired us out one evening. Incredibly, we successfully landed a double-header! I was fighting one when another one bit. John reeled that one in and netted it by himself while I continued to fight mine. As soon as the rods were in the water we got another one and then headed in with tired arms and a full cooler.
Jason's first fish is a beauty.
A rare action shot!!! It's
hard work!
The one on the left is the biggest one of the day, about 23 lbs. The one on the right is a coho. Jason dunked his hat in the water and I doused myself because it was so hot.
What an incredible evening this was! We caught four fish in an hour! The last one bit when we had only one line in the water because we hadn't had time to put the rods back down yet! This was some fantastic fishing. Thanks Skipper for all your expertise.
And so a very successful salmon trip comes to an end.

Great post. HUGE fish! I'm assuming the quotes mean that you didn't actually get to load and fire the cannon but merely went through the motions? Great action shot, Jay!
