I have a friend who does a lot of deep trolling in Lake Ontario in a 19' boat. He goes out every week religiously, and only a couple of times last summer did he cancel a fishing trip because it was too rough for his boat.
The great lakes are big enough to sink any boat if it's mishandled, in the wrong conditions, or someone does something risky or stupid. more

Divers are tied to your main fishing line which can be monofilament, braid, or wire line, and a leader, and your lure is then tied off from the diver. When trolling, the diver is set or "in diving" mode. When a fish strikes, the diver is triggered, and you then play and land the fish with the diver in the "non-diving" mode. How deep a diver goes depend on the size and shape of the diver, setting on the diver, line type and diameter, amount of line out and trolling speed. Most divers come with a handy guide that gives you information for reaching certain depths. The use of a snubber, piece of rubber surgical tubing, between the diver and lure is recommended when using line other than monofilament. A snubber acts as a shock absorber when using a line with little stretch. more
Copper line has also gained in popularity in recent years on the big lake. Trolling with copper was/is a popular method on the Finger Lakes for trolling for lake trout. The traditional method of using copper was hand-lining with it. The copper line was held in your hand, and you gave action to the lure by giving tugs on the copper as you trolled around. On Lake Ontario, anglers troll the copper spooled on a level wind reel. Copper, like wire, doesn't stretch, allowing lures to dive deeply. Anglers are trolling lures far behind the boat, 350 to 500 feet with the copper line and getting lures down to 60 feet or more. Generally a downrigger rod makes a good copper rod; no special guide tip is required. Reels need to have a large capacity, as generally 250 to 300 yards of 30 to 50 pound braided line is used for backing, followed by 250 to 500 feet of copper, and then a leader. here
Fishing a water body as enormous as Lake Ontario for trout and salmon can be very intimidating. I mean, where and how do you start fishing on such a massive lake? Because of the vastness of the lake, trolling is the preferred angling method. It allows you to put a number of rods in the water (the current regulation allows three rods per angler), with different lures set at a variety of depths, all while covering a large area of water searching for active fish. Trolling in its simplest form is putting a lure out behind the boat and pulling it around, hoping a fish hits. As you will see below, trolling on the big lake is much more advanced than that. This article is meant to just give you the basics for a starting point. Like other fishing methods, trolling is a continuous learning experience. Now where to begin?
Luckily there are temperature probes available that allow you to easily take water temperatures down to 100 feet or more. These thermometers are either hand held and lowered on a cable, or connect to your downrigger system. You can also often see the thermocline on your depth finder by turning the gain or sensitivity up. The thermocline will show as a narrow, fuzzy line. You can also use your depth finder to see at what depths the most fish are located and begin fishing there. A quick stop at a local bait shop or a visit to our Fishing Hotline Page will also help get you started at the right depth. Below is a chart showing the preferred and optimum temperature ranges for the trout and salmon found in Lake Ontario. This table is just meant to be a starting point; salmonids will venture out of these temperature zones.
