King Slammin

Lakers do eat other game fish though not as much as they eat the food that other game fish eat. I would rather have a king fishery than a lake trout fishery any day. Most will agree with me, those that don't just aren't educated. To each their own I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

No waste here. I consume healthy tomatoes, peppers, beans, corn, Brussel sprouts, etc. every year as a result of planting fish in my garden. And none of the toxic chemicals are used to taint my organic garden. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Pay attention to the current state of our fishery and you would have a totally different opinion. I have lived here my entire life and pay tax dollars on my property, licenses, and tackle that find their way into the fishery. I catch and release numerous steelhead, Browns, and kings every year. The lakers are severely overpopulated with an established natural reproduction and federal stocking. I will continue to keep my boats limit and encourage more to do the same in hopes of restoring balance in the predator/ prey population. I usually release a fair amount of kings in the spring as well but plan on keeping my limit, again hoping to achieve balance. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

For the same reason we kill coyotes. Population control. There's way too many and they eat the alewives and emerald shiners that our salmon and perch live on Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I buried them in my garden. I don't use chemicals like miracle grow. All natural fish carcasses, and my plants love it every year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Late start for me this year, work got busy fast. Launched at Wilson around 7 am. We cruised around all the debris in the harbor, and especially out front, and settled in at 55'. The plan was to target lakers with a king spread, just to be prepared. We had our first fish on a green dot spinny/ fly within 20 minutes. Then a lot of dead water. Marked very little fish and no bait. Decided to run to the bar and take a peak. Water was 2 degrees colder on the surface but much better color. We trolled back toward Wilson for a few miles and had a steady pick of lakers with a few flurries to keep us entertained. Kept our three man limit for the garden and called it a day around noon. The boat ran strong round trip and caught some bonus fish. Good shakedown in my book. I did hear of two kings caught today in US waters as well. Bring it on!!!

We did well this morning on Browns on natural colors out of Wilson but couldn't get a laker, go figure. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It is a great used boat. There's not enough around to satisfy the need. I drove to Chicago to buy mine on Valentine's Day weekend last year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Brian. Always happy to support our fishery. They will go work immediately on Sunday out of Wilson. Heard the lakers are packed in there pretty good right now. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

http://olcottyacht.club/links/ Here are a few links for you out of towners. The overboard charters webcam will give you realtime video of the lake. It spins around the harbor so give it a minute to point to the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Couldn't live the way I do without mine. I prefer freezer paper for deer but all my fish gets the food saver. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'll be out at midnight on Erie pulling sticks along the Hamburg shoreline. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your gonna have to go lower, like half of what your asking in order to get anybody interested. I mean it is almost 30 years old. Would be a great boat for the right price. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

This won't last long. Bet it's sold before next weekend. Great looking boat. Where is it located? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Lowrance elite ti looks like a great value in your budget. I have the elite hdi and for a 5 or 6 year old unit I love it. I'm in the market for an upgrade this year and leaning toward the elite ti. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Palomar works great if you moisten before pulling tight. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

By then the water will be warm enough to keep it from freezing. If any extra cold nights are forecasted, put a work light in the engine compartment. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The key is don't beat on your boat. A lot of boats pop rivets or break welds by slamming the hull into waves at speed. That drives me nuts. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I only like fresh garden tomatoes. Those greenhouse maters just don't taste the same. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I burp them by burying in a hole in my garden. They burp big, healthy tomatoes in 45-60 days. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

In the spring, fish release pretty well as a result of the generally cold water temps. Once the lake sets up and transitions into the dog days of summer, its hard to get a fish to revive in 70 degree water, let alone break through 50' of it to reach cooler water.
