I guess nobody but us old timers will remember the "Big Weenie " bait strips . Here is a pic of the package and a few of the colors . I still have a least 10 packages of them in all the colors . I never had much luck with them . I think I will take a wait and see posture with these "Rockets" . I have fished with cut bait for many years and I find the natural strips are the best .Just wish Rhys-Davis would get back in the cut bait business .

I agree 100 % on the cannon swivel bases. I rigged up safety lines using parachute cord. Just in case one fails Lot of money gone if a base lets go

Looks like the battle is still joined . Her's a link to a story in the Watertown Daily Times . I can imagine 30 turbines to get the camel's nose under the tent . Then what , another 300 or 400 ? and a little more info concerning the 30 mile long underwater cable to carry the power to Oswego would be nice . http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/news03/henderson-residents-to-galloo-island-wind-developer-tall-turbines-all-pain-no-gain-20151105

You can add Henderson harbor and Sackets Harbor to that list . The perch fishing has been almost non existent for the past two years .

The cod on Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine were decimated by the factory shops from other nations. I fished for a lot of years with the Yankee Fleet out of Glouster MA The captain of the boat told us that each of these huge factory ships carried several trawlers which they would deploy when on the fishing grounds these ships depleted the Atlantic cod and now there is no cod to catch And as for LT the charter captains are welcome to my share any time I would rather catch a 10 inch perch Better fight and much better table fare Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks for posting the " rules of the road " . Anyone using a boat on any waterway should take the boaters safety course . You need to jump through hoops to drive a car ,but any body can buy and operate a 400 hp boat on the water with no training at all . Too many people on the water with little or no idea of rules and regulations .

Make these "educated people " eat LT for a week and I bet we would get more kings . LOL

What he said !!!

Throw the LT away and eat the cooler . Much tastier .

In for a penny , in for a pound . I have fished Lake O for many years ,and the last 2 are by far the worst I have ever seen . I will continue to fish out this year ,hoping the majors materialize . I fished 6 days of the LOC derby and landed some fish , but the biggest fish weighed just 20 lbs. I remember years past when fishing solo , I was able to catch (and release ) 5-6 20 lb. + king salmon . I guess my take on these last 2 down years is an unwillingness to upgrade equipment ( sonar ,fish hawk etc.) until the fishery improves (if it does at all ) . Next year I will take a wait and see attitude . Normally I am on the water in mid July , but next season I will wait for reports of fish being caught before I venture out . The cost , in time ,boat fuel and maintenance ,cost of tackle ,fuel for truck , food and BEVERAGES , just don't justify going salmon fishing . I hope , with all my heart , things improve .
