    I just tie an Improved Cinch to a swivel. Good choice on line.....it will never go bad.

    Agreed it will most likely happen in July, but there are weekly winners also.

    Get your ticket! There are no salmon on the board. If you get anything over 20 lbs you probably will be in the money!

    I hope that you were not thinking the fish in picture 2 was a Coho.....because you may have filleted or thrown back the LOC derby leading Steelhead if it was 16 lbs.

    I remember seeing some bass at certain lake systems that have similar black ink spots around their head and mouth.

    As all predatory fish, Walleye will feed where the food is. Perch, gobies, smelt, Jonny Darters, Sculpin, Mudpuppies are plastered to the bottom. Always good to have at least one line down there.

    I have the stainless model bases. Look there if money is no option.

    Everything is behind from rough winter. Bass opener was SLOW because the fish are still spawning. The fish we kept still had eggs.

    Olcott in July. Salmon in the 200-250' band, Steelhead offshore 400' plus. Skip June.

    Yep, I have caught a few this year with short gill plates. Just tried to pull some info off the internet on this disorder. One cause that pops up is sedimentation of the water at hatcheries? I think there has been recent problems at Altmar with sediments getting into the tanks but there is very little information on the subject. I have seen this in years past but very rare.

    Both! Find Steelhead water with one unit and King water with the other.

    Try a braid leader

    Use the equivalent sized dipsy chart. I don't believe you can get below 40' with a size 0 dipsy.

    You don't have to go longer than 300 Cu. Just add a torpedo diver to the mix and you can turn a 300' Cu into a 600 by adding weight.

    And you probably gave all your savings back in lost gas money looking to save a few bucks.

    Valuable lesson this video regarding eye safety. You do this long enough there will be a spoon coming back at your at subsonic speed. ALWAYS wear sun glasses or other protective eyewear! Wearing a cup is optional in my boat.

    It is hard to imagine a fillet O'Laker tasting good when they are busy crapping all over your boat.

    The Catt. had a nice run of huge emeralds this spring. Could be with the late spring the bait ran into the warmest water close by and spawned quickly and left. The perch have baby gobies in them coming off the Catt.

    I noticed there has been little bait/ Emerald Shiners this year in the Niagara despite frozen lake cover over the winter. The usual mass migration of shiners up the river back to the lake drives the Peace Bridge area bite. My worry is with no bait, the Walleye will not be around. Is anyone catching walleyes day trolling around Buffalo or is everyone down at Barcelona?

    JJ, the rainbows up near the surface will not show on your graph

    Rainbows are not structure orientating, they are pelagic. The best steelhead water in the great lakes exists out in the middle of the lakes. The fingers are no different.

    I am the master of my own domain.

    You may want to just troll a spoon with some orange on it with just a couple of split shots in front of it. You may be fishing below the fish with the 3 color. Surface water is in the 50's so they are probably bugging near the surface.

    I went to school up there. If I remember correctly the waters below the Massena dam has big walleye and muskies. Not sure since 911 if you can fish below the spillway or not.

    Put them out esp. during the LOC derby for big steelhead. Use a heavier blank like an NK that is speed tolerant as the flasher will give additional action to the spoon. Run a long leader from the flasher say 4'-5'. You will catch kings on the rig too. Find that lower end temp for steelhead say 58 degrees right at the temp break and put them out on a dipsy at that level.
