    Apparently deer don't like new camo blind smell LOL . I noticed the blind smelled like a cross between a child's rubber gorilla toy made in China and an oil refinery. Then I started thinking about it ........of course deer are scared of camo blinds as who else would be hiding in camouflage blind but a hunter! I need a giant Trojan deer blind to hide in.

    Nobody should argue that there is not enough alewife in the lake. However, our fish finders don't tell us the age of the bait balls below us. For this reason I can't argue with their data. With emerald shiner and smelt numbers down the pressure could become too great on the alewive population and the resulting imbalance would take longer to reverse. We need to take our medicine now and chip out our ball from behind the tree in order to salvage the 18 hole score. If we don't get this right we may all be playing more golf over the summer instead of fishing.

    I will bite Jerry. With the idea of short term preservation of young offshore alewive numbers ..... Keep Steelhead numbers the same as recent die offs have already reduced numbers Cut kings by 150,000 but increase significantly percentage of pen fish Increase brown stocking numbers by 75,000 Cut Lake Trout stocking in half

    Might make sense to roll in the State-of-Lake meetings with the captain's meeting at the Pro/Am events. People are in town for the event and the events are spread down the lake.

    Seeing the Halon I have to ask when is a bow no longer a bow. Good god that thing looks nothing like a traditional bow with those huge cams.

    Your boat name is "Crabbie Patty"?

    If the DEC is worried about public outcry of lakers over kings and are threatening to merely increase the laker stocking if adult laker numbers drop due to overharvest, tournaments, lamprey etc. etc. I say fine........small lake trout eat gobies and sculpin and not alewife. Cull the adults and create a younger population that is safer to eat due to reduced contaminant load.....win win. Lake Trout only tournament end of March in Olcott. Someone please make this happen.

    Lets not forget how poor the runs were last year!

    Jerry please press them on the state of the Salmon River run and potential lack of much natural reproduction this year and the effect on the salmon stocking cut figures.

    Skipper, bowhunters are made not born. There is a process we all go thru. Thru that process comes a discipline. You will learn from your mistakes and be better for the next deer. We would all take a woods full of hunters like you over anyone else because you have a soul and respect for the animal you hunt.

    Point your buddy to a hind sight for his bow. It will help him immensely. Great discipline on your wallhanger.

    Always good to remember if you need to have your old boat worked on.....take it to an old marine mechanic like Hank!! Happy birthday Hank.

    Temp was not the problem 3 years ago.

    As others have stated, rattles, bright colors, erratic moving baits, go big (giant spoons). I put rattle traps on the back of my downrigger balls and run flasher flies behind them in September. THE NUMBER ONE IMPORTANT TRIGGER THIS TIME OF YEAR IS FISH WITH AN APPROACHING FRONT OR WEATHER. Your welcome.
  15. Gill-T
    There are fish at the bar but this late in the game I would say 2/3rds of the usual numbers have run the river.

    If you have ever had a bearing go bad so the hub heated up you may have a hub get out of round deformed. Look at the spindle also.

    Wanton waste.

    When you gain more experience on Lake Ontario you will change your tune. Kings fight 10xs harder than Atlantics.

    Because they were heavy last year.

    They run the Salmon river in May and again in September. People who target them are very secretive and protective of them. Cayuga and Seneca Lakes have fishable numbers. You may be waiting another decade before you catch another one in Lake Ontario.
  21. Gill-T
    Do a lot targeting Atlantics do ya?
  22. Gill-T
    Fort Niagara or Youngstown launches should be open

    I didn't find any real holes in their methodology of this massive/expensive study. The fact that they pulled king samples in June/July when fish populations are mixed lakewide was smart.
  24. Gill-T
    Found it. 2008 published by Bronte. 43 pages to review.......yippee......ugh.
  25. Gill-T
    Jerry, the numbers have been out for awhile. I was hoping to get a view of the published study to see how it was conducted. Any ideas who produced the study?
