We know how to target big kings and don't bother with the little guys. Seriously though, I'm blessed to be in an area which touts the best cold water fishing and large spawning runs for the most part. What I did notice was a much lower quantity of kings last fall compared to typical years.
And for sure we will never return to the size of kings of the 1980's. Lots of brutes back then where the smallest fish during the GOSD or TO Star derbies was 37lbs.
Somehow the Bay of Quinte has managed to survive for decades, +10lb fish are common, and it has one of the highest fishing pressure in NA for walleye. And locals are not overdramatic about it.
Snap all the time. Fish don't care. I've seen people run lead core directly to the lure w/o a leader and they were catching fish. And lead core severely impedes the action of the lure but the fish don't care.
Winds affect the current more than anything else. Very noticeable after a day of strong winds, especially when the lake flips.
And yes, the FH is most important for temp and then speed for me. My two graphs are only used to plot course and look at depth. But later in the year, the graphs become more important as the fish don't care so much about water temp.
Perhaps we should contact Donny for advice. Seems like he knows more than anyone on this subject. Perhaps we can inject ourselves with disinfectant as this is what he had stated.
