Thanks Brian. A day early unfortunately. Our box Friday was 106 pts. Would have cashed a 2nd or 3rd place check in the main event. Oh well, that's fishing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

This weekend was tough. It blew hard NE Wednesday night and all day Thursday. We fished the WHI and boated a 16 lb and 25 lb King Friday along with 3 coho and a steelie. The west wind this week should set things up for some good fishing this weekend. The Niagara Pro Am is this weekend in olcott too. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Bay rat short shallow in coho crusher is killer on the coho. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Yeah, we definitely miscommunicated there. I'll admit, I never fish the LOC because of the rule. I usually fish when I can and I take a lot of new guys out with me and can't see making them buy a ticket for one day of fishing, so my ticket wouldn't matter anyway. But next year, our entire team will be in the derby. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

First, congrats to Tom Allen and Team A-Tom-Mik for the win. Tough fishing for a lot of teams but they got it done when it mattered. Thursday we fished in 5-6' waves and got beat up all day to land 1 coho on 4 bites. Friday was a little better and we were able to land 3 out 5 coho bites, a steelhead, and 2 nice kings. 16 lb 25.03 lb The morning of the event, we knew it was going to be more tough fishing, so we decided to start at our numbers from Friday morning and try to pick up a few coho just to have fish in the box. We took two coho bites inside early and quickly lost both fish. We worked our way toward the bar and only took one more hit all day, which failed to connect. We never boxed a fish. Although it was a struggle, I had a blast. How can you not when fishing three days in a row? We weighed a 25.03# King on Friday to take the $2,000 check for Thursday and Friday's 1k a day. It would be 2nd on LOC board but not everyone on the boat was in the derby. Our box Friday would have cashed a check in the event at 103 pts. I can't wait to fish the pro am next weekend, and I'll be back for the WHI again next year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Glow back, I think the front is black with a green top and lazer ladder back down the middle Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
My son and his buddies had their morning hunt ruined by a last minute hunter that set up 80 yards away. So they packed up and moved to another spot, my little honey hole across town. After hearing nothing on their first sit there, they moved to the back corner of a large field, hidden back in the woods. They only had time to get the one camera going after a gobbler responded to their locator calls. A few minutes later, four jakes came right across the corner of the field, running right in to their Avian X decoys. The boys each rolled one, and got the triple!!! I doubled with my best friend when we were about the same age and it's something that I'll never forget, and I'm sure they will do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That stick catches everything. It's a great time of year to be fishing, and now the kings are showing up. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I think we saw you out there Sunday. I was fishing with Carl on the Dublin Up. We got a couple coho on 3 colors with red dodger/ peanut fly. We were after kings mainly though. Got a few of them too. I have had success on temp breaks in deeper water right about that time when the lake starts to set up. They usually ride higher in the water column and are schooled up. A four rod spread is key when you find them, that way you can turn on a dime and keep running baits through the school. I remember maybe 3-4 years ago we made 5 or 6 passes through one school and doubled or tripled up every time. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Tons of bait to the east of the bar in American water. Was a lot of mud too but we put three kings on the deck Sunday in green water pockets fishing the same depths. Still a lot of lakers and coho out there too. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

12" track on the corners for the riggers and 36" track up the sides for rod holders. I backed mine with 3/4" PVC board and fender washers. Used to use a transom bar, but it is way to confining. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Good first few trips of the year right there!!! It's only going to get better. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
I was wondering when you were gonna chime in on the coyotes. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
-
I am very educated on the topic of coyotes. I am an avid deer hunter and trap predators in the winter. I am telling you that hunting coyotes WILL reduce their population. If more people hunted them, the population WILL be reduced even more. I know they will adapt, just like any animal when their population is threatened, but I'm not talking about taking it that far. I seek balance. Do you know what happens when coyotes become overpopulated? I think you should read about that before we talk more. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

We're talking population control, not eradication. Two totally different topics. Hunting coyotes most certainly helps control the population in much of the same ways deer hunters help control the population. It's foolish to believe that it does not Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I bought a bunch of gamblers rigs as well. With the looming bait crisis, many friends and myself included have decided to make an effort to keep our boat limits to reduce the population. I'm sure our efforts will only be trumped by the federal stocking next year, but it's worth a shot. I'm not just keeping lakers either, less kings will be released this year by me as well. Pap, my son has been plucking away at the crows since coyote season ended. He has even cooked up a few breasts, and I have to say, it wasn't too bad. Tasted kind of like a lean, wild steak.

This past Friday, I had one rigger within 2' of the bottom, and the other 5' up. Watching the sonar return of the weights on the screen, I could tell when a laker was on by the reduced return of the weight on the sonar. Happened over and over with none hitting hard enough to release Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks skipper!! I'll have to remember to post pics of the garden in July so all the haters can see the fruits of my labor. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

You can defend the greasers as much as you want. I'm still going to reduce the population as much as I want. They are way overpopulated. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Are you kidding? If more people hunted them, there would be more of an effect. That's common sense. If less people hunt them, they become overpopulated. When coyote are overpopulated, they become deer killers. They are also known to kill most, if not all fox in area when the coyote population is too high. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I give away so many filets each year as well. I mean, a box full of 15-20 lb kings can feed an army. My dad takes the most since he lives in Pittsburgh now and rarely makes it out with me anymore. My grandfather loves baked salmon in rice with butter and lemon slices. Numerous friends and family members are always hounding me for a bag or two. But nobody eats the lakers. I don't blame them, I have tried several times. The meat has a weird texture. I grew up eating all the salmonids out of necessity and perhaps that ruined me. I just don't care for the flavor anymore. My spring walleye trips and ice fishing provides much tastier options. But I had two tomato plants rip the cages right out of the ground last year they got so big.
