  1. Past hour
  2. These are all small lampreys, must have come out of their larval stage recently. I would have thought if they resumed treatment in 2022, these would’ve been killed. I have fished the lake for 49 years and the only other time I have seen them like this is when we fished the bubble off the oil plant in Oswego for browns in the late 70’s.
  3. A friend of mine texted me this morning that he boxed out on browns by 8 am. yesterday boxed out on salmon in the deeper water as mentioned by cnyh2. He is out of catfish creek. Good time to be fishing Mexico Bay !! Good luck, we will be there all next week. Tight lines everybody.
  4. In Lake Ontario (both US and Canada shores) Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) treats tributaries for sea lamprey. COVID shut down the border and the Sea Lamprey Control Center (DFO) could not treat US tributaries of Lake Ontario because they could not cross into the U.S.. Lamprey wounding increased quite a bit during those years but started to decline in 2023 according to lake wide assessments. Sea lamprey are only in their parasitic adult life stage for about a year so changes should be pretty rapid once treatments resumed.
  5. Today
  6. I'm not that old, The guy I spoke of was in his 80s when I was a child back in the early 80s. He was friends with my grandfather and lived in the farm house across the street from the old kidders market that is now an event center. Everyone called him Bunny
  7. Calm seas next two days. Other than the brown trout division I think there will be some major changes in the other divisions.
  8. Good news is two years ago the amount of skippy kings was insane. Felt bad pulling riggers and dipsy rods with dead skips on them. Now those same skips are 10-18 lbs and they’re out there in numbers. Never seen this kind of numbers of quality fish. Not trophies but still fun to catch. So weird to be fishing deeper than 100 foot of water in April or May, not complaining.
  9. But there were some which may be the few bigger fish . And how big were the avg returning 3 year olds ? Probably those 18 to 23 # fish . Or so I would guess .
  10. 2022 NYSDEC Lake Ontario Unit Annual Report Suprisingly 3 years olds were the biggest returners to the hatchery . 4 year olds were 1%.
  11. Look for the salmon in 50 to 200 feet of water. Glow in the morning UV when the sun gets high.
  12. Doubtful. Fewer and fewer 4 year olds. I will see if I can find the slide from the state of the lake meeting showing the shift in age that made the hatchery.
  13. Any buddy been out of sodus? Couple of us want to come up tomorrow . Also is there a better ramp then the municipal. I don't like loading my big boat on the hill. Any info would be great. We fished Sodus a few times last year and struggled.
  14. Laker rods were converted to Saltists a long time ago! 🤣
  15. After I let out 400' copper how much backing do I let out?
  16. So long as it doesn't smell like laker...
  17. I will take it Brian. I was looking to replace one of my older lead core reels anyway. We can hook up tomorrow.
  18. still need the backing plate? I have one, 4x4" for the cost of shipping or pick up in Springville, NY.
  19. Also has it occured to anyone those 25 and 26 # fish maybe 4 years old ?
  20. I will take the "Grizzly 165qt cooler - $350" Planning on being in Wilson next Friday-Saturday.
