Thx , Les The real story goes, we got to camp late after I got home from work at 2:30am. Launched at 1pm. Fished for maybe 1/2 hr. Marked a few good ones in 80' fow down 65'. Set the rigger at that n turned around. Boom. Huge thx to Brian Gambel for the rigs! Even more to Warrior lures for the custom Melissa's Muffin that caught this stud. We revived the fish in live well and he struggled a bit but seemed to make it. Sent from my SM-N975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
It was good for us but you had to search a bit for them. Imo the fish are getting much bigger ( browns, salmon) and a bit smarter there, also lots of bait. Typically an early am bite then boogie north.. still worth a early morning pass or two. Sent from my SM-N975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Catch one (laker) n wipe some of the fresh blood n slime on your fly or spoon... Do not get gas on your hands before handing lures. Sent from my SM-N975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It all comes down to location, presentation, and hungry fish. If you have what they want in front of em and they're hungry they will eat. It's fun trying to speculate if you are doing it in the optimal way though... Gobies anyone? Sent from my SM-N975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Messing around making trolling flys,( not selling.. )I understand the with the color spectrum that red goes to black first as you go deeper and so uv reflects best deep. So on the ROYGBIV scale what's some of y'alls go to and why.. early, mid day, high sun, depth running... go.. Sent from my SM-N975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I agree in a general statement but there are way fewer hunters out. I hunted hard the last few days of muzzleloader on state land in deep snow. Logged over 7 miles one day. Never cut a human track. Saw plenty of deer. It's about thinking outside of the box. Sure it's not the 90's but there are way more mature bucks now then I can ever remember. The deer that are around can't be hunted from the same stand multiple times. Each area is different but now is the time to scout, go look for tracks, sheds, make plans for next years attack, gps points of interest also figure out how hunters push deer and learn escape routes. Figure out easy entry without bumping deer. One of the biggest things is leaving a property alone when you need to and going in for the kill when the bucks are moving.. To me not seeing deer is saying it's had too much pressure. Love this thread congrats to all that killed and to all that gave it hell!
