    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.

    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.

    Do a lot targeting Atlantics do ya?

    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.

    Found it. 2008 published by Bronte. 43 pages to review.......yippee......ugh.

    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?
  13. Gill-T
    Jerry are you privy to the published study the DEC conducted on pen vs non-pen reared fish? I would love to take a look at it.
  14. Gill-T
    Agreed. A number of years back there was a charter vessel next to my slip in Wilson. I could not help but notice his rods in his rod holders all had fluorescent orange line stren spooled on (probably from the 80's). Upon returning from his charter he would be in a good mood because he was able to catch a few Lake Trout for his long time clients (April season). I never had the heart to tell him how many fish came over my gunnels. Never stop learning in the face of a changing environment......or just take up golf

    Here is a problem with your problem Jerry.......if we keep showing proof that PEN rearing works, they will use the success of the program against us by refering (inaccurately) to the pen-rearing allotment of fish like having a "stocking increase" due to better survivability. It is a slap to the face of common sense that you punish due to success. With the exception of the Salmon River, pen-rearing should reach 100% for all other locations if everyone wants a slice of the pie come August-October

    Yes deer move in the wind but can you spot them without being able to hear them? Do you know how wind drift effects arrow flight on your rig? Last Saturday I decided to check how much a 25 mph wind would laterally displace my arrow at thirty yards I found my lighter arrows displaced 8". Interestingly my 500 grain arrows displaced about 1/2 " less so not much difference although the heavier arrows flew better and entered into the target more true. 8" is the difference between a good shot and a gut shot. That is why I don't shoot past 30 yards on a twitchy whitetail. If you are going to hunt in the wind I would deplore every bow hunter to practice in the wind.

    Esgdirect.com. They have the parts and are continuing to make probes. Guys who worked at Moor in Buffalo are servicing them

    Beech yes, black walnut yes, apples poor from what I have seen.

    Chuck, typically they start catching early runners after the first week in August on the Salmon River. Little different world than pier fishing
  20. Gill-T
    Lethal temps in Harbors right now. Lake will have to turn over or cooler temps for 5 days in a row to bring them into pier chucking range.

    If you give me the info I will pass it on to people running it in Canada. There is a reward for returned tags.

    Cedar trees provide nice cover but if you don't have cedar trees in your area I probably would pick a different evergreen. Why? Deer eat them in winter and it effects venison flavor. Secondly, if you have apple trees around they will develop a rust disease from the cedars

    Rich S, if you want to tackle one of your categories "confidence" it helps to fish where the fish are. You can get transitional slips in a lot of ports before the "real" boating season begins. Try Olcott from March thru May if you can, then follow the fish East closer to home.

    I am a ghost writer. Nobody knows what I look like.

    Sounds like a liberal backed pro-wolf study molded to push their agenda. I can equivocally state that cutthroat trout have NOTHING to do with lower Elk numbers! I can however agree with your insinuation that Lake Trout predation is having an effect on the ecosystem.
