    In front of the piers in September, and during summer roll overs when you might have kings up high and close to shore.

    The Geezer is a spook pattern........its been around since the 80's in various forms. You can find comparable patterns that when flipping back and forth in the water the fish will never know the difference.

    I guess the old eyes don't work as good as they used to. Too much staring at fish finder screens.

    Brian, do you know if there will be a Niagara County meeting this year?

    I know what QDMA is. My statement was from a PETA person's perspective. They will see passing on young deer and not filling your tag as a good thing.
  6. Gill-T
    Like them.

    Lots of things at play that the DEC considers. Lobbyists from the automobile insurance agencies, QDMA members that want antler restrictions, out-of-state and in-state hunters that don't want antler restrictions. I have heard rumblings that the tree-huggers that bring lawsuits are pro- QDMA.....huh? QDMA means small deer are spared and less tags filled means less deer shot. License sales are dropping in NY......being inclusive to the majority "will of the people" is in the DEC's best interest. Personally, I have hunted other states....I will take more opportunity over quality anytime. More state land, more deer, more tags means more opportunity. I have never had a problem seeing deer in NY woods.....trophys are another story. Rack size is approx. 90% genetic......can't do anything about that. If you want to see bigger/older deer then reach out to neighboring land owners and try to come to an gentleman's agreement to let the young ones walk.

    Ouch!

    That's it! Jerry could get Casino Niagara as a sponsor!

    Justin, I think you would be breaking navigation regs by having a red light on both sides of the boat.

    Maybe FUBAR TV? Everyone submits their "finest" moments.

    It is all about the editing to make it interesting. Rick, how many people fish for Bluefin Tuna? But "Wicked Tuna" has a following.

    Nobody will want to pay to trailer their rigs to Huron or Superior for those dink fish.

    It has always been a head scratcher to me that Cabelas could cover a two-fish Redfish tournament (glorified sheephead) and not consider our sport. Much more drama aboard a salmon tournament vessel running 8 rods.

    They are used in Canada in the shield lakes for giant Lake Trout.

    Stan, you have any luck running those 8" Shasta sling blade dodgers for Kings or Coho?

    Sand blast it and you have a version of the "trash-can" dodger that works well for lakers. Bet that thing puts out a good thump! Stan, in looking around for this product it appears like so many of your other west coast creatures .....mythical. Does Bigfoot run this off his dipsys?

    Apparently I am having a micromanagement crisis.....one thing to consider when choosing your leader strength is delivery method. My shoreline rods are set-up with 15 lb green mono with 12 lb green leader. I use otter boats. If I used in-line boards with the extra weight and resistance I would not leader down.

    Those smaller sized Chattersticks work on spring Coho also.
  20. Gill-T
    Since you are fishing out of Wilson you have the the advantage of green water all year. Occasionally there are early spring conditions when it doesn't rain for awhile that the shoreline trolling season requires a Fluoro leader. Yes on Fluoro leader for flies. Early season offshore might be another example of wanting fluoro leaders. Other than that......green mono.

    Probably no Gobie in the lake, but Sculpin look very similar. A myriad of Gobie baits have been developed over the years after they inundated the Great Lakes. A three-way rig with a Gobie colored stickbaits trolled slow. Maybe one of the gobie swimbaits on a jig. I have caught a ton of Western Trout fishing an ice fishing jig with rubber arms tipped with a wax worm or grub fished 3-7' under a bobber. The best way to get big rainbows out there is to fish the tributaries. In February and early Marrch go to the mouth of where the Tributaries flow into the reservoir and fish Pautzke's Red Balls of fire under a bobber. If there is a barrier i.e. dam, waterfall etc. on one of the tributaries they will be there in March and April.

    Last I knew the coast guard station launch was not open due to repairs.

    When they are not eating feeder food, I would be those big boys live on sculpin sitting on the bottom. Try a Gobie colored bait fished along the bottom .......when the feeder is not going off.

    From pictures I have seen the fence is not high enough to keep Elk inside.
