    Whoever told you that was woefully misinformed. I've owned 4 454's and put over 6000 hours on all of them without any significant repairs. My 10M has two original 454 Crusaders with over 6000 hours on each. The ONLY thing I've had to do to them was put new heads on each. Change oil every 85 hours with Shell Rotella 15/40 and don't beat them up and they will last forever. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Absolutely no need for a snubber if you're using a quality reel and know how to use a drag. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    It's now quite obvious you have an issue with me personally. Since you don't have the testicular fortitude to use your real name I'm not giving this thread any more of my time. The charter in question was dumping carcasses in Olcott harbor against DEC regulations. End of story. Btw mr anonymous "shorelunch"----I've had 2 days off since July 1. I fish every day, unlike you who sits in his Wilson cottage looking down his nose at the rest of the world. I'll be back in Wilson next May if you want to address your issues with me personally.

    It was a legitimate topic with a legitimate issue that was witnessed firsthand. If I wanted to "call out" a charter I would have named them. It wasn't about that, or releasing fish or what a "dump" olcott is or anything else you tried to make it. Please get over yourself and stay in Wilson. Btw---I'll eat wings wherever I feel like it and don't need your lectures telling me what I should do now go away. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Really??? Mature kings die?? Every year??? Smh Olcott marina is hardly an "eyesore". Hedleys is a dump. Get off your high horse and look at the DEC regulations regarding the disposal of fish carcasses. That is what this post was about. The charter in question was violating DEC regulations by dumping carcasses in a marina within 100' of shore. Btw my boat is in Wilson every May and in Point Breeze the rest of the year. I happened to see the incident in question as I had wings with my son at the Time Out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Olcott's station is awesome. Even if it was out of order the boat was set up to clean on the water and the catch could easily have been cleaned on the lake and the carcasses disposed of in accordance with DEC regs. It's a despicable display of laziness. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Just watched a charter boat cleaning fish on the back of the boat in olcott HARBOR and dumping the carcasses into the harbor!!! A whole 50 yards from the fish cleaning station!! Absolutely unacceptable, unprofessional AND illegal!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That's awful!!! Alewife lives matter !!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    No. Cut out the bad section and splice the ends together with a haywire twist. Cross the ends and wrap closely around main line going in opposite directions. You can find it online. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    An alewife is related to herring but is NOT the same fish. They look, feel and smell different and have different properties when cured and/or brined. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    No. Scales fall off summer steelhead and cohos because the scales are not mature. No different than pin feathers on a bird, they only mature when the fish is nearing maturity or its spawning cycle. Cohos spawn later than kings so their scales don't mature until late August or even September. Steelhead are late winter/spring spawners so their scales mature even later than that. You will also see scales falling off immature 1 and 2 year old kings at any time of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    It flipped two weeks ago and the fishing remained spectacular. Don't dwell on the past. It is what it is---this year IT is incredible!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    It started to. Cold water moved into the inside over night so almost everyone that fished this morning fished offshore. Fishing was very good! By midafternoon the bait had already moved back in and I'm sure the salmon were headed there as well. The big north wind tonight and tomorrow may tighten that inside up or possibly blow it apart. The offshore fishery is very good if there's nothing inside 180. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Imagine how much time is spent untangling fly hooks from net mesh. Imagine how many hooks get impaled into hands while trying to untangle a pissed off fish from a big bulky net. When I fished salmon in Lake Erie in the early 80's a net was only used for the occasional walleye or smallmouth. All cohos and kings were gaffed! Wake up NY!!
