Yes but is it an actual E Z Steer or something he rigged up. Those things are pricey for what they actually are.

Do you have an e z steer on your kicker? I am tempted to go solo but think I could only do it if I rigged something up to be able to steer from the helm

That lake has gotten the best of me this year so I have been going to Oneida to get my confidence (and walleye supply) back up.

I think it’s time to put this thread to rest. I didn’t see any posts that encourage anyone to keep a tiger but congratulated her on the fish and didn’t condemn her for keeping it as an incidental catch that was a surprise. I can appreciate everyone’s passion for muscellunge and even drove to Canada for a guided trip myself and was blessed with a 46” that I released. I don’t feel tigers are anywhere near a prize fish as a purebred but considering their lack of table fare I will personally always release them but if someone happens to keep one to eat I am not heart broken. I am a tributary steelhead fisherman and see threads all year long of anglers keeping nice fish on the lake and don’t say a word. As anglers we need to respect each other’s choices and not judge because our personal choices may be different than others. Can’t we all just get along😀

Not for nothing but carp are a great catch and release fish. They get huge and fight like their lives depend on it. Added bonus is that most people throw them back so your precious target fish is always a plentiful resource. I could look up the local carp fishing anglers group if you’d like me to send the link.

Did some jigging at dusk last night with a friend and ended up with 7 walleyes and a 7lb sheep. 3 keepers and the rest were short. Biggest was 20”. Had a couple spit the hook that felt decent but never saw them. Nice night on the little “O”.

Don’t be ashamed to be proud of a legal catch. You had every right to keep it. It’s when a fish is kept just for bragging rights and foolishly wasted afterwards that is shameful.

No shortage of tigers in that lake

Oh good, glad it didn’t go to waste. Milk works great and so does beer.

That’s a good one. How big?

I saw that video a year or so ago and reminds me again of how bad I want to try that on the finger lakes. Thanks again

So you must run your boards out a pretty good distance? I have been adjusting my DR leads up to 60’ back but wonder if I should be back 100

Wow, I was wondering if those were big tigers sitting on the bottom. I dropped my downrigger spoon and ran it 5’ over their heads without a bite. That’s a really nice one, good job

This is an example of an extra large one that would work for this purpose

Yep that where I was

Justin, was that one deep? I was out the other night and saw a few large marks on the bottom in 58-60’.

Wow, nicest one I’ve seen this year. My nephew caught 4 this week but all low to mid 30’s

Steelie. Sometimes on the water there are variations that can make you scratch your head or second guess yourself. The square tail gives it away before being able to see the mouth or spots.

Wow, when i drove by it a few weeks ago it looked like nothing had changed since May. I’m sure it will be a big hangout/ party spot like the causeway. I like Ryfuns launch too, especially after the one up the lake was bent one day and swallowed my trailer guide-on and was a huge issue getting my trailer out of it. I see they fixed it now after what it did to my trailer but that sucked

Good idea

Nope, haven’t seen much progress since spring
