  1. Past hour
  2. That matches with what I have been seeing. At night the bite is up high.
  3. Today
  4. Just got back. Fished out of Barcelona Saturday morning until about noon and Saturday night until about830- 11pm. Same area….relatively small amount of water 14-50’. Lotta guys out with the nice weather and the tourney out of Dunkirk. I was doing some scouting for the derby. Landed 10 Saturday morning 18-25”…missed some bites, half a dozen sheep’s, a big cattie, and some big perch. Best bite was in 35-41’. Fished the same area but shallower Saturday night, after dark no more sheep heads, walleye bite was consistent landed 10 in about 2.5 hours. All around 20”…..all on lures run within 8’ of the surface, regardless of depth. Couldn’t find any derby worthy fish and it looks like the pros in the tournament couldn’t either. Good bite on eater fish tho. Didn’t make much difference what u had in the water…caught fish on an assortment of stick baits, crankbaits, and harnesses.
  5. Jeremy and I fished the Canandaigua Lake Trout Derby this Saturday and Sunday and had a blast bring over 50 fish into the boat but couldn’t get anything larger than an 8.2 lake and a 5.1 Rainbow. The fish population in Canandaigua is GREAT once you find the ones willing to bite! I heard from a few guys that stayed on the west side that the bite was tough. We launched out of the north and fished the east side all weekend with a lot of fish to keep us busy! We marked bait in super tight about 30 feet but those fish weren’t biting for us as the best depth for us was 50 – 180 fow, all fish coming in the top 50 foot of the water column. MVP of the weekend was a custom spoons that need a repaint after brining in at least ½ of our fish that I have been sworn to secrecy. The Elmer Hinckley 777 on a 3 color was a solid second place. We caught no fish on Flasher flies or Divers. Only long lines on the boards and a few on the riggers.
  6. Started in 80fow worked out to 200. No marks, no bait, one small king in 180fow . Rigger down 53 but cheater took the fish. Did another pass through, another small king on cheater. One last pass and got a coho. On the cheater. No other lines took fish and only UV wonder bread caught fish. Not sure why lead core, copper, and dipsey divers won't take fish but I guess I'll be adding another rigger to the boat and skipping on junk lines if I go out solo fishing
  7. 3/4 on Kings straight out from Oswego in 350-400’. 50’ down, orange spoons. Leadcore and dipseys. Nothing on riggers yet. Trolling north to south. Hoping to put a few more in the box before we head in.
  8. Yup. I would not be surprised to see some new regs for rockies in some waters.
  9. If you wrap your rigs around your paddles when u store them it will cause you to loose future fish as well
  10. Good morning,is your main 150 4 or 2 cycle and how high are the freeboards or gunwales
  11. the june hessney auction has a lot of fishing stuff, hessney .com
  12. Ended up only going out with a few friends for a 2 hour cruise yesterday afternoon but did put a few lines in. Picked up a small king in 150 fow on a cowbell/spin n glow that was down on the bottom for lakers that I decided to pull up a bit to 70ft down just to see what would happen. Really didn’t put much effort into fishing but hoping to get out during the week or next weekend and really put a good trip in.
  13. Did I read this correctly??, ROCK BASS TOURNAMENTS???... Honestly, is that a thing??... Geez, Trout,Bass, Perch, Walleye , even Catfish tourneys down here on the Susquehanna,, Do we REALLY need more oddball tournaments so sponsors can make a few bucks?... I dunno, but this is getting ridiculous.. Overfished Rock Bass, Sunnies, Perch, Crappies........ On the Great Lakes no less.. Commercially caught as well, so the captain can pay his dock fees???/. great.......
  14. Got on the lake at 6am started straight out from the chute in 120 ft, Before we could get rods in the both riggers went off and lost them both. Then after getting all the poles set the black with white crinkle glow had a big rip, went three times before getting to the boat, nice 15 lb king. Then after marking a small pod, both riggers went off again, this time after trying to stagger timing getting them to the boat for netting managed to land then both, these were 15lb and 16lb kings. After an hour took the biggest king on the meat rig, this one came in at just under 18 pounds. Then later just before leaving, caught a smaller steel head fun though, doing cartwheels all the way in. Fun trip first one out for the year, my nephews had a blast great memory for all of us. All fish caught from 140 to 190 and down 60 to 75 down.. steel head came late didn’t get the pic of it… good luck to all.
  15. Launched around 6:15, headed out to 200 in a bit of leftover waves which gradually calmed as the morning rolled on. Set up and headed North to 400ft. Completely blank screen along the way. Various Spoons, meatrig, Flash/Fly combo used. FishHawk showed temp brake around 50ft down out beyond 300ft depth. No action at all or even a lone mark. Made a few direction changes, swapped some tackle, did arcs, adjusted speeds up and down a little - no dice. Pulled lines and headed back to 200 to try inside depths. Found 5 or 6 boats in roughly similar area all spread out and going different directions. Finally hooked up with an Atlantic on a carbon 14. We started marking fish around 175-160ish depth, but not many. Inside water temp break was down around 100ft so we swapped in 450 and 600 coppers dropped the diver and lowered the riggers. Another hour passed and by this time we had only seen a few scattered marks. Decided to try for some Lakers to end the morning. Set up a cowbell rig, slowed a little to 2.2 ball speed. Within 15 minutes, had the 450 with a mag gramma warrior just start screaming. Halfway through the fight, the 600 starts peeling off, but felt like a laker. To add to the fun, the cowbell rig also starts bouncing- triple! We prioritize the salmon on the 450, then retrieve the laker, then lost a small laker at the boat on the cowbell. Nice finale to what felt like a terribly slow day. Got both my son and father on decent fish on a beautiful morning, a win in my book.
  16. Was it an Atommik? Green head with crushed UV on it? If so, it was a UV Grinch (one of my favorites!)
  17. Fished Oswego this evening(Saturday) caught 2 keeper salmon and a 5 small ones that tagged on our lines. Fish are spread out from what I can see, fished just east of port. Worked for them. Wasted time with hitchhikers on the lines a few times,, frustrating they were so small no way to know they were on.
  18. Yesterday
  19. That's all thats left. The line broke between the 2nd and 3rd teaser.
  20. 1700 views on this thread in one week and nobody has put up a fishing report. Good or bad fishing it helps everyone to post what is going on. We need fish taken out of the system as there are 100 million walleye in Erie. No reason for tradition secrecy.
  21. That's great. I hope he is right. Next time I will bag and freeze them and get them over to Game and Fish. Didn't check the DNA but just compared to the color photos on their flyer. I'm still fishing either way. Thanks, Speedy
