    Fishing the canal probably 10 years ago with a buddy we were casting stick baits at the spill way in palmyra where I hooked a 20 pound one right in the lips. Thought we had on a huge pike. Got a good laugh when we got it in.

    According to my grandfather he supplied some of the metal for the originals back in the day. Probably explains why I got so many NK's from him. Not complaining one bit! That blank produces year in and year out. All the new flashy stuff does its job but them old NK's really hold their own. Silver with green diagonal tape always finds it way in somewhere.

    I don't do the spring derby because of the length. The other two I do.

    No meat. Not worth it. Invest your money in other areas

    Ditto on the Perco. had it happen to me once. Ended up being a heavily corroded wire but rather than crawling around swapping cables I simple switch works best.

    Okay, so I see how trying to eradicate an invasive fish or mussel could in turn decimate a fishery. Such as poisoning a lake or what not. But if there is truly belief that cormorants are hurting the salmon/trout species as well as warm water fish, bait etc it seems that that would be an easier problem to contain by just poppin off the things or a hunting season perhaps (probably taste nasty). Then again the anti hunting/fishing voices would be heard and we all know how much of a headache that can be. Also I agree with the fact that people come here for steel head and Salmon and increased Lake Trout stocking makes no sense. I would truly prefer more silver fish as would the majority on this board. Anyways, I remember 10+ years ago I could go out of my home port at Port Bay and catch as many small mouth as I wanted. My father and I would catch our limit and be home by 8 am. Now a good day seems to be catching one or two. This seems to be mainly blamed on the gobies for eating the fry and what not. Even the pan fish population in the bay has decreased dramatically. So here's the question. Lake Trout I have been told feed on gobies. But what I don't know is do these gobies travel as far out to where Lake Trout are in the summer months to where an increased stocking number of Lake trout could be used to help control the goby population? Just a thought.

    As I said to each their own. Just a preference. I like the challenge.

    When the gobies first exploded my buddy and I used to go out on Sodus and Port bay's pier and jig plain reg hooks with a small sinker below and catch hundreds of them. Contest turned into who can bounce them highest off the concrete. The seagulls loved us!

    Agree with the Bilge direct to the battery. VHF as well in case of emergency. there are less fail points that way. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I did a wiring project on my boat this past spring. Cleaned out a bunch of wiring that wasn't being used and organized some of what was (still a mess but is better than when i bought it). I put a heavy duty bus bar in the back of the boat and ran 4 gauge wire from it to the battery. I then ran my riggers with 30 amp inline fuses directly to the bus bar. My front end electronics (Fish finder, Fish hawk etc) went to a fuse panel that was wired to a switch on the dash then back to the bus bar using 10 gauge wire. Doing it this way with a flip of a switch all my electronics switch on or off so there's no chance of leaving anything on. It really cleans up the wiring that may be attached to the battery as well.

    I would rather catch 1 king than 20 lake trout. The fight like wet boots! but to each their own.

    Look at the buoy off Rochester and multiply it by 1.5 or 2 and that's your wave height from crest to trough. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
