Our state doesn't care about big fish. If they cared my hope is they would share with us some type of study or experiment they're trying. They do a lot of great things when it comes to managing this fishery, contrary to many people's beliefs, but I have heard nothing from anyone when it comes down to trying to figure out why this is happening below. They don't mind tossing out theories, and we all can do that, but I would like to see a study or an experiment. My biggest Salmon last year was 25lbs. That's unacceptable. To answer Brian's question, I would think we'll see a 38-40lb fish on the North shore. We've watched this monster class of Salmon the last two years at 2 & 3 years old. My hope is a few made it to 4yrs old. For anyone who looks at the chart below and wonders what I'm doing. These are the 10th place fish in each LOC derby. I feel it's a good indicator when looking into the decreasing size of Salmon.

I purchased this unit in the Fall to get me through a few charters knowing it would go up for sale when my new Humminbrd Xplore units were received. This unit has about 50hrs on it. It comes with both a Dual spectrum Chirp & MEGA SI transducer that are connected using a Y cable. $1100 for everything. Pick up in Rochester or Sodus Bay. I have the original box.

FishUSA unexpectedly received last year's exclusive Smithwick colors earlier today. These were the first colors to sell out once they released them. Link is below. Once they're gone, they're gone. Don't. Sleep. On. This. https://alnk.to/dptnYF2

Some GREAT looking stuff right there! Thanks for sharing that.

They'll be available here soon - https://alnk.to/h6HfTgY

These are all great options below. I also posted two videos below that. One shows our favorite baits. The other shows underwater footage of the Smithwick and Bomber.

Good dude! Always enjoyed our conversations.

What are you guys connecting the noise filter to under the motor hood?
