    No not true. Tigers are a cross between a female musky and a male pike. A Norlunge is the opposite, female pike and male musky. I think the Norlunge experiment ended years ago though.

    Has been, Was the oak orchard fish a tiger or true musky?
  3. BP Swing
    Raaven, Yes we know there are plenty of muskies there (relatively speaking) but the point about this post is has anyone has got any in the central basin US side primarily around Rochester east or west. We know the Niagara and St Lawrence have them as well as eastern Lake O. We're talking Oak Orchard to Sodus area. That is the big question and mystery. At this point its only heresay.

    Does anyone know what size spin n glows work best for Lakers? Im trying to order some online and there is 0, 2 4,& 6 to choose from. Thank you
  5. BP Swing
    Can I ask what color and size spin n glows u were using and how deep? I am going to try out the cowbells and need all the tips I can get. Fishin a long time but never with cowbells.Thanks and way to go.

    This is a topic that fascinates me. Seems like every 2-3 years I make a post about this. So here goes again. Has anyone heard of any muskies caught in the central basin from oak orchard to Rochester to Sodus? Even by accident?. Seems like with all the charters out there someone would get one by accident. I have heard of a few over the years off the Genesee River and once in a eon at the Oak and once at Hamlin Beach pier but really nothing confirmed with pics, just hearsay. Makes no sense to me if they are at both ends why not even a stray in the middle? Anyone got anything or heard anything other than the shark they got in the river supposedly.?

    Congrats on a trophy of a lifetime! You may have only fished an hour but what about all the previous fishless hours? . You earned it. No musky is nicer looking than a st lawrence ski, just awesome buddy. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I think it could be a pike but not typical markings for one. Thats a toughy it could be a tiger too but if I had to guess , id say pike. Also maybe a norlunge. Dont hear much about them anymore Sent from my GT-P5113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Awesome info. Thanks much. What size spin n glow? They come in 4 sizes..
  10. BP Swing
    Thanks buddy. Maybe a flatfish or quickfish might work if going that slow too. Its crazy that setup works and doesnt scare away everything within 10 miles. LOL Will def give it a try. Im getting tired of the Salmon thing this year and I like lakers anyways.
  11. BP Swing
    Yes how do you rig a spin n glow? I get the 30" behind the cowbells but then what? Also are there different size spin n glows that work best? Thanks
  12. BP Swing
    Can someone give me a clue as to what size/colors to use of the spin n glow and peanuts to use on cowbells? (WTF are peanuts-small salmon flys?) Thanks
  13. BP Swing
    I must admit I dont know squat about cowbells and spin n glows or peanut flys. For starters what is a good cowbell setup to get? What size? Thanks

    I guess Im going to have to sharpen my Laker skills too as the Salmon fishing for me this year sucks. They fight a whole lot better than people give them credit for, I have no problem with them. My question is now that I have 20 and 30 lb test Flea flicker and Sea Flea line (otherwise it is not fishable with all the fleas lately) on my reels and isnt that going to scare them away? I usually use light line, flouro tactics in my bass and freshwater fishing but with the fleas as bad as they are there really isnt a choice. Using regular big game, I had to put the rods down as they were unfishable, couldnt get line past tip plus Im not screwing around all day with fleas. So anyways my question is how to make this "anchor rope" stealthy. I was thinking of using a flouro leader on a tiny barrel swivel?? Anyone tried this? Not sure if a back to back uni knot would work with 30 lb. test and BTW the sea flea line got 0 fleas yesterday but also no fish.
  15. BP Swing
    Yes in my opinion, barometric pressure is one of the most or the very most important factors in fishing and the high barometer is the worst (over 30.2) Rarely is fishing great or even good with a high barometer but they can still be caught especially with a new or full moon. Under 30 seems best, I have tracked baro pressure for years in my log and there is absolutely no doubt. High barometer sucks.

    What is the best release to use off the ball for Salmon/trout in the Off Shore line (pinch pads)? Heavy or medium? Thanks BTW The Blood run sea flea line is so slippery, I couldnt keep it in the release today but there were no fleas on it, none.

    I bought the Cabelas 8' med action DR rod. Nice feel, light and nice reel seat. Alum oxide guides and a nice price.
  18. BP Swing
    Insufishent, How are you connecting the 2 ? back to back uni knot or barrel swivel or other? This is what I will have to do without 20# FF available.Thanks
  19. BP Swing
    Was out the other day and the braid and 20 lb mono was unfishable. So many fleas couldnt get the lure back in without cleaning off first. Had no choice but to pull them. Wire was fishable some fleas but not too bad, flea flicker 20 lb line did not have a speck on it. The stuff works pure and simple. I guess I'll have to cave and get the blood run in 30 but to me 30 is like anchor rope;.

    Chinook, you mean the 7'3" light action uglys? I have 1 and it is very nice but def. light.
  21. BP Swing
    Yes finally I had enough. Scraped them and will use a dipsey in place but tried today with braid and was unfishable there were so many fleas. I cant believe they stopped making flea flicker line. What a joke.
  22. BP Swing
    Have no idea why Shakespeare doesnt make a medium action DR rod in 8'. Personally I feel 7' is too short but thanks for the input.
  23. BP Swing
    nice work. What brand rod holder broke?
  24. BP Swing
    I need to get a new DR rod. I like 8 foot. Any recommendations? I like the Ugly stik 8'3" DR rod but it only comes in light action. Also considering the Talora by Shimano and the glass cheapies from eagle claw, okuma, and TDR Shimano. Anyone like anything special for DRiggers? Thanks BP
