The new manager of the Altmar hatchery was a client of mine for a few years. He took me on a tour of the hatchery this past Spring, and showed me the complete process. I believer your claim is false. They do not selectively harvest medium fish to breed over big dogs. That being said they also don't toss away smaller Salmon. They take what they get and use it. The thing that I admired the most about the Altmar hatchery is what they are able to accomplish with what little they have, and what little the state gives them. Those hatchery guys are ROCK STARS, and responsible for what we have. I'd make a bet that the biggest fish are targeted and yanked out of the Salmon River before they even make it to the hatchery. Bigger fish are easier to see, and the crowd fishing that river is very good at dragging fish out of there. A few of us have asked about "experimenting" by breeding larger fish together to see what could come of it. The state continues to say there is no science that supports it will work.

Fat Nancy's has a nice 9' rod that quite a few guys are running. I believe they have M and ML. We have the ML, and it makes fighting Spring BT a ton of fun! As for a reel the Daiwa Accudepth or Sealine is more than enough in the 27 size. When you go in there ask for Dave and let him know you want to see the BT rods we're running. He'll know which ones.

A better understanding why our Salmon are maturing earlier than they used to, and what would it take to get back to seeing more 4yr olds.

I've got 2 Daiwa Great Lakes I'd part with for $150 with very light use on them.

I know of a 32' Pro-Line going up for sale with twin 250 Verado's if that's of any interest.

Humminbird HELIX. Great value for what you get. Just stick with sonar/GPS. Unless you're looking for structure stay away from the Down and Side imaging.

When you're drunk there every weekend, loud, and obnoxious people get annoyed. Some day he'll find a port that can handle him. So far he's 0 for 2.

The Oak is probably the most consistent port on the Lake from April-October. I hear it's a lot more friendly port too.

You're wrong. I'm aggravated that wreckless behavior took someones life. I watched the wife get out of the cop car and proceed to cry and scream when they told her the bad news. That was heart breaking, and when I found out whos boat it was I just shook my head given my earlier encounter with him.

If you have a late 90's Garmin and are looking for the Lake Ontario chart I came across one. $100 shipped

Yup, I am defending his response. I know this becasue I saw what this guy fished in a week prior as he bragged about being out there. Stupidity and arrogance got someone killed this weekend, but you guys keep defending the boat owner. You guys sound like those libtards who get butt hurt over everything. For Christ sakes this guys poor judgement cost someone their life!

In Paul's s defense this guy is wreckless! A week ago we had a NE blow. Most guys cancelled their charters. I was out fishing the inside (100-140') in 3-5' waves. We got our dozen and decided to clean fish in the Creek because it was snotty out there, and getting worse. While I'm cleaning fish this guy passes me and brags about fishing the 31N line that morning. Mind you.... He was in an open bow Tracker fishing boat by himself. A week later this happens.....

Both are great options. PM me if you have any questions or need a quote on a unit.

I can get you a 7" Humminbird HELIX at Krenzer Marine. MSRP on that unit is $449. If you don't live near here I can drop ship it to you. If you do live near we can install it if you don't feel as if you can.

You're wrong.....the state doesn't need these people and their lack of ethics. As King Davy explained there are a lot of people with money that would take their place if they were gone. I have fished a trib once each year for the last 3 seasons. Prior to that I fished them every Saturday/Sunday between Oct 1 and ice fishing season. I just can't stand to see the shyt that goes on in our tribs anymore. I personally don't care about the businesses who promote this either. Selling shark rods and 1/0 hooks in Pulaski is just adding to it.

15lb Torpedo or Shark weights are what we use 85% of the time. We will sometimes run 20lb sharks.
