Charley Tuna

Fished noor to 4 PM. 3 for 4 (not big) in 500 - 550 fow, 80 -100 frrt down. Hits came on spoons ( die hard and froggy) and 2 on FF's.

Great Laker thaanls for the helpful report! Sounds likwthey might be pretty deep.

Good points devoknevo and MuskysAnonymou!! The politically correctness and moral superiority of some people is frankly getting very tiresome as well as boring. Professional fisheries biologists determine size and quantity limits based on long term health of the fishery. Also catch and release mortality is higher than what most of those people realize. A study by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’s Marquette Research Station reported in 2017 showed mortality of angler-released fish averaged 43 percent when the surface water temperature exceeded about 50 degrees. Some of the catch and release "purists" often kill more than the legal limit whether they realize it or not.

Icejohn is correct. There was absolutely no biological reason not to keep this legal fish. Congratulations on a great catch and being a good and ethical angler! Also, thanks for getting your kids involved in fishing and I hope your season continues to be productive!

Thank you for the info on that spoon Chowdaire. Great fish and photo. Phil2 nice going thanks for sharing and for the good report.

Thanks for the report Chowdaire. That is an beautiful looking Atlantic, Congrats. Did he hit a spoon? Thanks.

Awesome report smells like fish New Hampshire! Thanks!

Well done. Nice Report!

Your welcome. The easterly flow coming in the next few days should bring the colder temps back up.

Bob, Fished between Oswego and Fairhaven. We were 5 for 7 yesterday.afternoon. 300 FOW was best. Due to westerly blows the previous two days lots of warm water ...temp was in the 70's from the surface down to 90'. 50 degrees F at 110' 47 degrees at 125. Our 145 foot rigger and our dipsy 350 back were producing using FF and Cut Bait Twinkie Rigs. . Fish were 10 to 28 pounds.

Nice Job Mike! Great report! Thanks.
