    Only 2 walleyes off Dunkirk today. one on a harness, one on a stinger scorpion.....maybe 20 junk fish.... bit I did mark some pretty big schools of perch between 70 and 75 fow, west of the port.

    Anybody make it out of Dunkirk / Catt / SP today? Headed up in the morning, and any advice would be appreciated.....

    The politicians with the most "at stake" might be the Senators whose districts bound the LO shoreline..... The economies of these counties are greatly enhanced by the success of anglers largely targeting kings...... District 62 Robert Ortt - Niagara / Orleans / Monroe District 56 Joe Robach - Monroe District 55 Rich Funke - Monroe District 54 Michael Nozzolio - Wayne District 48 Patty Ritchie - Cayuga / Oswego / Jefferson Give them a shout......... Perhaps an organized shout would be most effective. Organized petition?

    Could it be that water temps influence fish behavior and location and even which streams they are likely to run? A week ago, the lake was setting up beautifully for staging kings, and we were taking kings in 60 - 120 fow with meat rigs..... another week of W wind, and I think we'd have seen a "normal" late summer pattern, but instead the East wind blew for 2 1/2 days, and temps went to hell, and the fish scattered. As bad as the lake fishing was last year, last fall was my best season ever in the creeks for kings. I think there's a lot of "luck" and weather that goes into where the fish are.........

    Fished with my daughter this morning out of Dunkirk, and finished with 12 fish by 11:15. All harnesses. Divers and riggers. 70 -90 FOW. Probably 25 silver bass.......

    Looks like fun, and great pics..... Cheeze-its are the key!

    There is excellent fishing available in the lake, but there are few fishermen out on it after the 2nd or 3rd week of September..... so finding fish is up to you..... it can be hit or miss.... and because there are fewer boats out there to help if you have mechanical trouble, please be careful and pick your days wisely....

    Good day yesterday out of SP..... 12 fish, mostly off the riggers, all on harnesses. Water temps were pretty uniform from top to bottom in 60 FOW. 71 on the surface, and 69 down 60....fire tiger hatchet blade was good, watermelon took a couple......lake was nice, bugs were troublesome at times....

    duk..... pretty sure that thermocline "off Buffalo" is gone.... I fished out of SP yesterday, and the 55 F water that was there a week ago was now in the mid 60's. There's still a temperature gradient from top to bottom, but the coldest water I saw yesterday was 62.... It didn't hurt the fishing though as my daughter and I boxed a limit on harnesses. 4 color, 5 color, riggers and divers all took fish......

    Nice article about lake Erie walleye and growth rates. Some of those 2003 fish have shown up on this forum! http://www.cleveland.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/04/lake_erie_walleye_anglers_want.html

    Most GPS units show the border on one of the map "screens"..... Just stay on the American side of the line, Eh?

    According to the Pa fish commission, a 10 lb Lake Erie walleye is about 10 year old..... I know you can age them from growth rings on the scales.....I've just never got ahold of a scale from one that's 28 lbs...... perhaps one that's that large..... is on a different growth curve .... longer growing period, etc..... bad question.... sorry.

    Helpful as always Ray......
  19. Traveling Circus
    how old is a 28 pound walleye?

    All Hail the King!........ very nicely said......Better enforcement and larger penalties would be a huge part of the solution.....

    I agree with Angling Addict.... Just because guys choose to fish trout bags doesn't make them disrespectful of the fishery.... I too have observed blatent waste at tournament weigh ins.... Fish weighed in out of coolers with no ice in them will never be consumed. At one tournament, I observed an amish gent fill his truck bed with "donated" kings.... great for him, and glad to see those fish not go to waste, but in my mind it was a red flag, indicating that in tournaments many of the fish are used for nothing more than dead weight.... literally. Perhaps the DEC should become more involved with tournament fishing ethics.... Perhaps even pass some legislation that would somehow regulate tournaments.... maybe even require some kind of fee to be paid to the state.... after all, someone is making money off these tournaments....even if it is just to promote their service.... like we have 8 first place wins.....off fish stocked with "public funds".....

    The other day when driving along a Monroe county road close(1/2 mile) to lake Ontario, I spotted a merganser in the snow along the edge of a road. It appeared to be a cut corn field, but was covered in 2+ feet of snow. It flushed and flew off....??? Any ideas what it might have been doing there? I'd never seen that before.

    I stand corrected..... my experience with HP's and thin jackets has been dramatic expansion...... blow up's if you will, and "splashes" on predators.......... complete disintegration upon impact...... I've tried them when actually trying to minimize pelt damage. the theorey being that driven at extreme speeds, the projetile completely disintegrates inside the target..... like with frangibles...... which takes the thin jacket theorey one step further by making the core less stable..... I agree that they are unethical in most circumstances..... as are FMJ's..... Good luck, have fun, be safe.......
