  1. The sustained heat coming in the forecast will help things set up and the bait to suspend. Reminder we are in June. Get the honey-do list done in time for July.
  2. Sensitivity was cranked up Bruce. Nobody was within miles of me.
  3. Some are pushed way inside, some are pushed into the warmer Niagara flow, some are pushed way out, and many are pushed to the bottom. Below is bottom zoom picture from today. Bait and kings pushed back into their winter pattern. Saw a weird thermal layer showing half way down on graph also.
  4. I would say you were in the right place. Bait and hooks. Perhaps a little East wind blues is all.
  5. Talking to some of the old-timers over the years, on Canandaiuga they fish the points/drop offs with slip sinkers and sawbellies. Very similar to how they fish southern reservoirs for stripers and catfish
  6. Would you believe the temp is 64 now? NE wind this weekend will lower it but the Catt is 73 degrees.
  7. 2016 I believe was the largest but had the benefit of previous classes of fish getting whacked by the bad winters of the previous two years so there was plenty of food and no real die off.
  8. Raccoons hug trees. I like that omelet eating idea.
  9. Last weekend we found a similar situation and spent time over “clean” water with no bait and few hooks just to find those hungry fish coming out of winter pattern and lagging behind the bait migration. It was the only way to keep rods moving. Those inside fish are stuffed.
  10. Looks like the lake blew up with wind at 10:30.
  11. This reads like a dating ad lol. Sorry to hear about losing your fishing buddy. This might be a good time to invite a father and child onto the boat. We all got a start somewhere. A mentor. I can still vividly remember fondly my father’s friends that were outdoorsmen that always got their bucks and big stringers of fish. Those men have passed but their legacy remains in me and my brothers. Pass it on.
  12. Large amount of Seagulls and cormorants present are plucking the dying ones from the surface in harbors to West, so no accumulating carcasses that I can see
  13. Until then, Jordan to the bar holds plenty of fish!
  14. Ratcheting rod holders make it easy.
  15. Looks like I need to dust off my 6” Tomic spoons.
  16. There have been kings all along Niagara County. The problem has been reaching them as they came in along the bottom with the alewife migration. It takes some special tactics to pluck them off near the bottom in 225’ fow. Hopefully the bait hits the shore then starts to suspend.
  17. I change all my dreamweaver split rings. Welcome back!
  18. They have been there, the question is are they biting ?
  19. Ha! Like a fishing wife Andrew.
  20. To prevent your riggers from banging on dock walls and poles, I would move the riggers inside the corners and just swing the arm out when in use. The dipsy rod holders should be slid back closer to transom so the wire line is not cutting across the back on turns IMO.
  21. Yes this an OMC I/O 1988
  22. Niagara county. All of it.
  23. There is so much friekin bait on the south shore, the lake managers need to consider revoking the chinook cuts from previous years when alewives were in decline. This year class is gigantic!!
