    Too hot. Can’t even think about hunting right now.

    Great video. Was that a Anchovy vs Rocket face-off ??

    A pen-reared harbor fish going nowhere by the looks of the surroundings.

    Put it on your neighbors boat. The dead fish game is fun. Ask the kid in the dorm room below me in college. He is still trying figuring out why his room smells like Oswegatchie perch.

    Kings have darkened up quite a bit already

    Congrats on coaxing a four year old 30 lb fish to bite this late in the game!

    Great weekend to be on the water

    Water temp will be same as water temp off Buffalo. A word on flow. Be advised the water level starts rising around 8:45 am as the power authority has to allow for water going over the falls for sightseers. If you are out on a rock, you may get stranded and/or die. The power of the water is no joke and all the rocks are slick as hell.

    I am assuming that with your handle WNYfishingfolks, WNY stands for Western New York? Lower Niagara is usually best in October for Kings. See that Lucky, gave facts with no saltiness.

    Lucky, as a self-reported steelhead and Atlantic salmon fisherman, would you include yourself in this indictment that all trib anglers are flossers? As A fly fisherman, I can tell you a swung fly under slight tension is the most efficient flossing tool out there. Chances are you have recognized the nuance of a fairly fished dead drift or an upstream streamer presentation that has very little chance of snagging fish. If you except that these methods as fair practice, then you have to recognize that egg fishermen can catch fish without flossing. The whole center pin revolution is based on a true dead drifted bait.

    I have heard of this occurring with frequency from highanus up to Maine. My brother had a striper trip canceled due to “weather” and it turned out to be a calm day.

    Guilty

    You won't need face paint with that rash.

    I don’t think you can count on gentle forecasts the rest of the year. If you want to fish, and you can do it safely, then you better do it. You don’t have to go out very far this time of year.

    Keep in mind stomach contents are just a snapshot. Orange meat might be just as likely coming from smelt ingesting invasive blood red mysis down deep as it is from mussel-eating gobies (keratin)

    Great to hear!

    Spring time clearer water conditions or after summer rollovers when clearer water rolls in, I will use 20lb blue label Fluoro leader material for spoons. The rest of the time it is green trilene XL for spoon leaders.

    Fat healthy fish! What are they spitting up?

    The skin has naturally occurring antibiotics in the fish slime. There are Canadian fish camps that have learned to keep the skin on walleye fillets ( you have to leave on while crossing the border with fish anyway) for freezing and stacking the fillets skin down on top of the meat of the bottom fillet so there is always contact of skin on meat. I have no scientific proof this works.

    Could be fleas, thermocline, or YOY bait.

    Great idea. Now how do you know if fish was caught from pier vs boat?
  24. Gill-T
    If you are using blacks just make sure you give a good amount of twists before inserting the loop in the release to prevent slippage when you tighten down to load rod. As bluegiller suggests, as the ball descends, keep line taught. If you use a Scotty downrigger with manual clutch, descend slowly and don’t freefall. Make sure everything is angled straight out the back, paralleling the down-current direction so things don’t go sideways upon descent. If you are doing all these things now and still getting tangled, I don’t know what to tell you.

    Chef Prudhomme’s Magic Salmon or Cabela’s Venison Rub on the meat side. Grill mostly on the skin side, flip once. Two year old spring kings are the best table fare in Lake O.
