    You having a kid Rick?

    Does it have to be inside storage? If not Call East Fork marina or Sandy Creek Marina.
  3. GAMBLER
    Some close early. It is up to you to call and find out. The weigh stations do not get paid for being a weigh station.

    Call Silver Fox. Hes a good guy, you will have fun and he can catch fish.

    Do these ports have pen rearing projects?

    A livewell is fine Mark but that looks more like a porcelain throne!

    Another thing to add is do not take the time to snap a photo of these little guys. Save it for a couple of years when they are picture worthy.

    I would love to have the name of this Biologist you talked with. If you have it, feel free to PM me the name.

    I see them when they go in the pens and when the come out. Kings grow fast. They are fed well. Another thing to debunk your theory is the amount of 1 year old kings in the lake. There has been plenty of small kings around the past couple seasons. How could this be if the gobies ate them?

    They increased the number of lakers stocked to increase the amount of natural reproduction in Lake Ontario.

    Here is a quote from the state of the lake meeting minutes about gobies: "Round goby is an invasive species first reported in southwestern Lake Ontario in 1998 and in the Bay of Quinte in 1999 (Mills et al. 2005). Gobies increased in distribution, abundance, and biomass throughout Lake Ontario, peaking in 2008, and remaining at a variable, lower level since" Gobies were found in Lake Ontario in the 90's (1998) like I stated above and their population peaked and is lower. If your "theory" had any merrit to it, we would have had dismal returns of kings and crap fishing long before last year and this season. How would we have had STELLAR salmon fishing in 2012 by your "theory"???? The pen reared fish are kept for three weeks to a month and are big enough at release to not be eaten by a goby.

    Perch populations are affected by Alewive numbers. Gobies would have more of an effect on spawning Bass and perch than salmon fry. More salmon are Pen reared now which increases their chance for survival.

    I perch fish a lot and see how bad the gobies are. I also work at a water treatment facility that takes water off the bottom of Lake Ontario. I see thousands a year. Do I think the gobies are eating the salmon fry, not really. The gobies have been here since the 90's and we have not had an issue with the salmon population. The last couple of seasons have been screwy but I do not believe it is due to Gobies. As for the smallmouth, there was a big die off due to VHS disease a while ago that caused the crash in the population.

    Lol. You crack me up Scott.

    I did not mean nothing bad about the fish. All lakers that are stocked in Lake Ontario are fin clipped. Being a wild lake trout in Lake Ontario is rare. Thats all I was pointing out.

    Looking at you last photo, it looks like the laker does have an adipose fin. That means it is a wild laker not a stocked laker. Not many wild ones around. I usually get a couple a season.

    Sold / Closed 1987 starcraft islander 22'

    GAMBLER replied to meatball's topic in Boats for Sale

    I'm guessing 22' like it says in the title .

    Are they both on corner riggers? If the wind is pushing the boat, the boat will slip and the riggers could be like divers. The one side will be slower than the other because the boat is kind of turning constantly.
  20. GAMBLER
    Did you try this at the same exact depths Scott?
  21. GAMBLER
    There is a photo of in on the LOC webpage. www.loc.org. Scroll down and there is a photo with the winner and two others we weighed in that day.

    Pay attention to your electronics! When you hit a fish, keep a mental note of the speed your unit (I dont care what brand it is). Like Steve stated, change speeds. Let the fish tell you what they want. The fish will change moods hourly and things will change as the day progresses. If the bite dies, slower speeds can make a difference some days. Lets not start a debate about what unit is what. That is not what this thread is about.

    Nice job Chuck! Glad to see you had some success!
  24. GAMBLER
    They will come. All the sudden they will show up. They are still in Canada on vacation.
  25. GAMBLER
    They should have a birth certificate with them Mark. You just have to ask for it. Canadian kings that are lost should be carrying an Enhanced license or a passport. If not, Oboma will give them a job, healthcare and tax free living.
