    there was a few boats in close this morning about 120-150.They must have been getting fish as they stayed all morning.temp must be moving up some. Bass for me .

    Hi, Im looking for anyone who had their inner starter bolt break off on a 6 yilinder mercruser. I wondered if they got it out without motor pull. thanks

    my 120 evinrude did the same.After 2 mechanics couldnt fix it i found a stuck float.It sounds like gas which is very common today. If its a carb youll know if you put your hand ober the intake and alot of extra gas on your hand Using alot of extra gas leads me think a stuck float My motor would act very inraticly and surge also.

    the state released 18000 browns in our harbor this spring,i did notice a increase in gulls after that.Whether they would have done better in the lake Im not sure. What is the best way to dispurse brownies 6 in. class One other note is in the fall some indiviuals come and strip these awesome fish and let them pile up on the bottom in our harbor,what a sad sight. Could a stream be blocked to prevent the fish from running it thus saving them for next year. Maybe if we could get a bullet proof salmon stamp with all the money going for the fish and enforcement (get rid of snaggers) things might improve also.

    Lake Ontario salmon is way better than Alaska.I myself realy appreciate the fishery we have after getting skunked in Alaska.One big problem is we just dont have the interest we had several years ago.Many times there are few boats fishing .No interest,no stocking might come about.

    dec should put up a buoy with down temp to advice fisherman of fishing conditions,would save alot of us wasted time

    yes andy reekers(silver blue and green) of downriggers worked very well for spring browns,i would also use a line like florcarbon now with water clarity issues.

    I still catch fish with them but they like it slower and my searay doesnt like slow.I wonder how many guys use silver hordes with flasher flies still.they get most of my matures with most hits on the horde.trick with them is to keep the hooks very sharp and then they dont get away.Im going to take my smaller boat 19 gls fully equiped out soon to fish my holley angels again,caught my 38 lber on the green one in pic in 1992.
  15. john1947
    thats why I named my boat after the lures.Diamond King wasa close second.

    i have a 1978 9.9 johnson .I have it on my 1987 268 searay Its mounted on my swim platform with a older omc kick down bracket.I altered it by placinga 12x12 1/2 in aluminum plate on the platform bracket this allows me to lower the long shaft down low enough to geta proper bite below the boat.Ill adda pic tomorrow.I have autopilot on my merc so I keep it there for a backup.

    I pulled some of my favorites out of the box to share with you. left to right stinger,holley angels clearwater(smelt),evil eye stinger above is the Dick Treat special,small glow dodger with glow fly,with small silver horde which set above the flasher (chasing postion)was a killer combo for summer kings.Took more kings with this than any other lure

    the lake did a flip flop,cold water inside.Have to wait till it calms down enough to see how far out the warm water went.bet there were some 8 footers offshore here,

    Havnt had any problems with fleas.Im using 40 lb big game.I run three rods with fixed cheaters on roamers.Its been very effective for me.Im also using #4 silver hordes on cheaters run over spin doctors,spoons or prochips.
  20. john1947
    good idea ,maybe a start a commercial goby fishery,grind em up for food fish
  21. john1947
    wonder how big the kings would get.I wonder if they would feed on the abundant perch population there.
  22. john1947
    Hope to get out tomorrow morning. Lots of action now and with that comming strong south wind we well might see our first turnover. Say goodbye to a steady thermocline.Time to break out leadcore and planer boards again.
  23. john1947
    Someone told me they set some kings in seneca a fewyears ago,not a bad idea huh.Maybe theyll run in october
  24. john1947
    the perch crave fleas.From a old timer standpoint the kings come in and lay on the bottom during the day.Its best early and late but you can get them irrated to bit midday.Everybody used spoons draging the bottom till the mussel came.Dodger flies also were used.I only had my combo down 20 minutes before I had a king on at 200pmsunday.Now if I had some helpers we would have done alot better.As soon as i get my pictures back from myson Ill show you what the old days were like.
  25. john1947
    im looking for a crew now.I always had luck with that combo(spin doctor and silver horde )when the kings were at about 120 to 150.It seemed to work all daymeet you guys soon.
