Both are good fish....Reel Overtime... If that was a Lake O fish you could probably Add 10 lbs to it.... The Lakers we caught this year were consistently the biggest I've ever had come over the rail. I cleaned a pile of em this year and they all had alewifes in them. Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Me too..... I'm so sick of all the deer hunting shows on TV. All the same.... High fenced and a comercial for the sponsors. I watch the waterfowl and fishing shows ( not bass). Good luck out there bow hunters.... Much respect to you guys.... Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'd like to see data or a study to prove your 3rd rod conspiracy theory.... Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Completely ridiculous to think an extra rod or two is responsible for ,or has any kind of effect on the decline in the fishery.... Closing of the Samon raising in Caledonia? ABSOLUTELY.... Stocking numbers lowered?ABSOLUTELY... Even bad winters I can buy to a certain extent.... 3 rod rule? Not a chance..... Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Things like this happen all the time....That's why I don't "Combat troll " too much . Couple things Ive learned in the past 30plus years of doing the combat thing..... #1- the other guy isn't going to move. You need to be more of a defensive driver like on the road. #2- When its really congested, run those leads closer than normal. (like 50-60 ft). When you have to make an evasive maneuver, your rigs don't get fubar. #3- if you run big boards in a combat troll area You just a plain ole A$$hole. Im not saying not to run top lines....I run my top rigs off of birds (smaller inlines). Very easy to crank in and keep closer to the boat when the trolling gets tight. #4- I stay away from the pier guys....Give em plenty of casting room, Madperry..... Obviously Not being a witness to your incident, I won't comment directly. What Ive listed is not directed at you, but more of a hint or maybe an eye opener to any newbies looking to get out.

Muskie Candies Night stalker...... The night stalker will not be denied!!!

Scotty.... Your correct... The smaller ones are better... Next year when we catch em near the surface in early June, I plan on keeping a few. Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Those Lakers taste better than you think.... I was always a hater until I tried some this past spring... They are no walleye , but they were not that bad. Sent from my VS980 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That was a fun Day for sure...Thanks to Mossyhorns Jeff and his crew. I was in contact with Jeff in the days leading up to the scheduled trip. The Lake was horrible Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I explained to Jeff that the forecast for Tuesday was fishable, but probably some left over rollers from the three days of turbulent west winds. The group decided to start a little later on Tuesday (Good call) and we left the dock at 11:00. The Lake was like glass. I had previously spoke to a few of the Rochester Captains who were already out , and they told me the good temperature was waaaay down deep. I ran out to 130 ft of water and it was 63 degrees to the floor. Wandered North to the 160 ft range. Temp was better , but there was a solid blanket of bait on the bottom. Later I learned that the bait stretched from Sandy Creek to at Ginna....That's a ton of bait. Once I got out to 180ft, I saw some targets on the bottom. Dropped down the cowbell rigs and it was a pretty good Lake Trout bite...with 220-240 feet of cable out (weird current). Now it gets interesting.....The future groom looses the first 7 fish..... Talk about bad luck! LOL... Well we managed to boat 8 Lakers and lost another 4. I was happy to see that most of the Lakers were around the 30inch mark really nice fish. As the day went on, we picked up and ran in to try for some staging Kings. We sent up in front of the River and trolled Mag glow spoons and J plugs. Within 5 minutes of setting up the Starboard Rigger goes and guess whose there? Yup.... Mr. Bad luck.... The King ran at the boat, under rigger cables, bulldogged to the bottom and as predicted....we lost him at the boat. Uuuuggh!!! Re-set time and we troll for quite a while until the port Slide diver gets hammered. Jeff grabs the rod and the pi$$ed off king is hell bent for shoe leather. Jeff muscled him to the net and that was a wrap. No other bites. With the conditions we faced with the less than stellar Salmon run and the wicked weather, I was pretty pleased with the ending result. Thanks again to the guys for a great season end for me. Good luck to everyone still hitting the lake and tight lines.....
