All it took was a phone call and an invitation for a days fishing aboard the Toronto Star's Starship on Lake Ontario to have the old rust bucket heading for Port Credit. The Toronto Star Great Salmon Hunt was underway with anglers vying for a quarter of a million dollars in prizes. The Salmon Hunt is the biggest fishing derby in the world and its not hard to see with hundreds of boats bouncing the waves of Lake Ontario on any given day. A quick stop to pick up a long time fishing partner by the name of Smokey Woods was the only stop made. Along side the 30 foot Starship was our host John Power, one of Canada's top outdoor writers. There will be no augument among those on board that he is without doubt Canada's number one host. At 8:30 a.m. the ship headed out on the lake and by 9a.m., we experienced the first knock- off. For those new to salmon fishing that's a hit that doesn't produce a fish. The downrigger is released but the fish didn't take the hook. For the next while fish were hitting short -- keeping everyone on their toes. At long last old Smokey Woods drew first blood and put a nice Lake Trout in the box. That was all the crew needed as the rest of the day was filled with fast and furious action. It took almost two hours to get enough time for a few pictures of our prize catch. Our net master John Power proved worthy of the task by putting all thirteen fish in the box. I have to admit he did a super job on a chinook I managed to hook into. It was plain to see the salmon weighing better than 25 pounds did not want to be a guest aboard the Starship. In fact, it wanted to take us on a tour of Lake Ontario. With the skills of skipper Wayne Andrew at the helm and the abilities of Power at the net, the pressure was on me to get it to the boat. Twenty minutes after it hit the big king was an unwilling guest onboard. A short time later we all looked on as another quest boated a chinook better than twenty pounds. If it's possible to have a highlight in a day paeked with fighting fish it would have to be the pair of chinooks. For those looking for some action give the big salmon of Lake Ontario a try. The Toronto Star Great salmon hunt con- tinues until September 16th and is well worth $15. entry fee. This year The Great Salmon Hunt donated $70,000 to keep the salmon hatchery producing stock. If a boats' the problem, contact Wayne Andrew Charters at 416-274-9000. The 43 foot Sportfisherman holds 12 people and runs $500. a day. Like to thank the Toronto Star and host John Power for a super day fishing. Yk W AUG. 16 "preservation will be at Aug. 16.
