    Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage over stock keels? Thanks.

    I'll never say no to a cheap beer. Hopefully this is OK with all of the members of the GCC. I do not want to be seen as trying to hijack their meeting. I'm sure there are plenty of topics and concerns that members would like addressed with the DEC above and beyond a new pen rearing project. Jack

    Is anyone considering addressing this topic at the GCC meeting? I don't know the first thing about pen rearing salmon so I do not feel too confident about taking point on the subject, but would gladly attend, listen, learn and offer any help I could. Jack

    That makes things convenient. That is a good spot down there. A lot of northern pike in there though. That might be a problem come release time, but it is fairly close to the bay.

    I would certainly be willing to donate some time and elbow grease on this if it were determined to be feasible. The lower end of the creek stays at bay level so I think the depth and flow would be fairly predictable. I have canoed that creek between Ellison Park and the bay for the past 15-20 years and there are some good spots for pens. Capt Vince's accessibility concern is a good point though. I only know of one real good spot that would have truck access, pending approval from the town of Brighton.

    Where did you get the paint? Is it recommended for aluminum? I sold my aluminum boat to a friend last year and he told me he can not get the bottom paint for aluminum boats this year because NY outlawed it. I remember seeing on the label of the paint for fiberglass not to use it on aluminum. Just wondering if what you got is the answer to his problem. Thanks

    Thanks to all. I also thought it was too big to be a C5 but remembered as being an NK when I bought it. But that was 15 or more years ago. I'll definitely buy the 2D or 3D call. I have a few others like it. There are days when that thing won't miss.

    Looking to see if anyone knows the manufacturer of this spoon. It is hard to see in the pics but down toward the hook it has an odd bend or crease to it and an accentuated curve on the other end. Almost looks like it got stepped on. It is slightly smaller than an NK 28. I thought it was an NK C5 but now I am doubting that. Before someone else mentions it, I know that hook is in pathetic shape. Thanks.

    Below I copied in a post from "open lake discussion" regarding the heads on the clipped fish. If you kept that fish read below. osted August 24, 2015 - 5:10 PM The pen rearing/fin clipped salmon study is coming to a end.. {2016 study will be on coho} Any salmon having an adipose fin clip has coded wire tag in it's snout. PLEASE save snout/head only. Lake Ontario United( LOU=everyone on this site)... purchased a freezer for US Fish and Wild life to help with this study. The freezer is located off lake Ontario state parkway near Sandy Creek, Hamlin NY. I AM WILLING to pick up fish heads from Irondequoite Bay west to Oak Orchard if needed. With all the time and effort put into the pen rearing projects LAKEWIDE, the retuning data is MINIMAL at best. Lack of data (returned wire tags) does not help with future salmon stocking numbers, especially in our fish pens. With less data to compare to pen survival rates verses direct stocked or percent of pen reared to wild salmon numbers returning in lake. ETC. This collection will go on right threw fall stream season. Please make an effort if you can to not let years of fin clipped/tagged salmon and pen rearing project efforts lakewide go unrewarded and info not to be FULLY utilized. PM me any questions as you can drop fish heads off yourself any day/anytime also at freezer location. Thanks Capt. Jerry REBEL FISHING CHARTERS

    I have been running the basic 50lbers on my copper using the haywire twist with no problems.

    Pat, it's not how he is rigging so much as what he is rigging. I turned around at the wheel last weekend and he's tying on an old alarm clock with a milk bone behind it. Funny part was he got 2 chickens and a dogfish on that rig.

    Larry, I got a tip for you. I'll bring it to you for free but I'm charging you $35.00 to put it on. I've got another tip for you, when tying on a dipsy, tie the line coming from the rod to the part of the dipsy that snaps in.

    I dragged a drift sock for years and it worked very well. I would secure it to a front cleat and only let it back to 1/2 to 2/3 down the boat. This would actually cause the sock to tuck itself under the boat and completely out of the way. I have heard trolling plates can cause problems with engine exhaust back pressures. Never used one so I am not speaking from experience on that.

    Absolutely!

    Nice boat. Assuming that is a Thompson 240HT, I run the same ride. I had to do a double take. Nice fish too.

    I have repaired them with 5 minute two part epoxy from a hobby shop and never had a problem.

    Nice. We were picking on the sheepies a couple of weekends ago in the bay on a rough day too. There are a lot of them in there. Way to go on the steelies. Thanks for the report.

    Small world, he was my shop teacher also. I used to spend some of my lunch and free periods in his shop. He let me sit in on his fishing night class one year. Wish I remembered more of it!

    Glad to hear they are still hanging around. Should be a zoo in and around I-Bay this weekend but we'll be out there.

    Beautiful looking kings.

    Awesome day.

    Nice, seemed like the purple bite was on today.

    Needed some super glue today, dropped 3 of 4. One steelie in the boat. Had to do some surgery on him, he had line wrapped around him and cutting right through his skin all the way around. Looked like he got wrapped up and then grew into the line. He should be happier now. He was on a bay rat goby. Dropped what felt like a decent brown on a Finger Lakes mag size. Green, white and red. Dropped what definitely felt like a teenager king on an NK mag purple thunder and dropped another probable teenager king on a Finger Lakes JP1. Couple other hits but no one home. Pretty much stayed in the 60-80 fow range. Majority of the marks were right off I-Bay. Water was real clear and cold east of Shipbuilders. There were marks off the river but not as many as I-Bay.

    Thanks for the report. Just curious, what is a superbread? Is it an offshoot of the wonderbread?

    Last Sunday was similar, we were in about 100 fow when another boat just appeared about 25 yards away going in the opposite direction. A little too close for comfort. Even that close everyone on the other boat just looked like a silhouette.
