    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

    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.

    Buying one of your lake trout rigs would falsely imply I target Lake Trout! Bunch of hooey!
  11. Gill-T
    Ya, I don't leave Niagara County if I don't have to so you would know better. Now these waypoints with large lakers on them, what are those numbers again?
  12. Gill-T
    Agreed. Probable artificial selection. Not too many bodies of water can hide a 40 from snatching. A few years ago there was a 40 caught off the Niagara drop by a lady with no derby ticket. The Niagara could engineer 40 lbers.
  13. Gill-T
    I don't think you want 40 lb fish in many numbers swimming around. Not now anyway. We are missing two year classes of alewives. I would gladly chose a lake filled with 15-35lb salmon and steady action over hours upon hours upon fish-less days with a chance to catch a 40. Kings in that 20-24 lb range fight the best IMO anyway

    That stretch from Shagadee to Sandy Creek to Devil's Nose is known for crazy currents. The Scotch Bonnet rumble strip makes sure of that. If currents were worse it might explain why Brian found fish above and below their "preferred" temp range as the current was probably displacing them. One tidbit I have been paying attention to is the direction of the surface current arrows on the NOAA site. I am finding when the surface current arrows are pointing south matching the usual down current direction in Niagara county waters, that the unyielding force in one direction push pelagics closer to shore. Until fish latch onto a piece of dirt to stage on, they are at the whim of the lake currents.

    There was this girl with bad teeth in college that used to frequent our dorm floor freshman year.........I will stop now.

    Three most likely scenarios. The antenna sender is shot. There is a section of coating coming off your cable so you are losing the signal to the water or the RCA cable needs to be replaced. Moor subtroll parts can still be bought online. Step 1..... on land, walk off 100' of cable and check it for visual signs of losing the coating. Step 2, if the cable is fine, replace the RCA cable with new. These you can get original replacement parts from Moor servicing or you can get them at Radio Shack cheaper. If those two things don't fix problem, assume it is the sending antenna. You can check the antenna wire for continuance yourself if you have a meter. The antenna you will have to order from the Moor replacement service company. esgdirect.com is the site

    Fish were concentrated from June thru July from Wilson to the Oak. Great numbers when traditionally June is a snoozer.

    Maybe a finger lakes trip?

    Jeepers Mike, you are "only getting out twice a week"? I could only be so lucky. I am going to have to start networking with you.
  22. Gill-T
    15 to 20% clipped I believe. The last ones will be the rare 4 year old next year.
  23. Gill-T
    Correct. Canadian fish, fish stocked off piers (not pen reared) and Salmon River fish will not have clips.
  24. Gill-T
    Always game in Niagara county. 2013 was last year of fin clipping pen fish. How many clipped fish did you see this year? I saw maybe 5-10? This was the year class of pen fish that were in their pens when all the south shore ports saw VHS/winter kill Gizzard Shad die-offs in spring. Pier fishing should be slooooow if those pen fish became infected. 😩😩

    Easy to make your own. The hard rubber stuff you can get at hardware store for dipping tool handles into to make a rubber grip. Dip a duolock swivel clasp part way in, and use a razor blade to make a cut in the material.
