Good news from the 2006 DEC annual report is that the goby population has leveled off but the bad news is that they're getting bigger so the overall biomass in Big-O is roughly the same as last year. Tom B. (LongLine)

Definitely pop the rigger if you ever start to get frustrated. Amazing how many fish I've caught that way over the years. I never raise the rigger to release line when changing lures, checking for seaweed or calling it a day. Love Blacks for that very reason :!: :!: tip: pop the rod then put it in back in rod holder immediately, then raise rigger. This gives lure a little time to flutter down, then come up. Even a little one will give you a jolt. Tom B. (LongLine)

Best site I've seen for fish ID http://www.wiscfish.org/fishid/frames.aspx This is the stuff tax $ should be spent on :!: Tom B. (LongLine)

Ray - Glad you got it. sorry couldn't answer earlier, got kicked off computer last nite so went out & painted trailer. That does have to be one of the neatest sites around though. Who said there's no structure in Big-O :?: :?: :?: You can also use the "identify" feature to get info & GPS coordinates. Tom B. (LongLine)

Wolfy Click on this site and run the FLC animation for a look at how it is forecasted to change every couple hours http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glc ... pe=F&hr=03 (for some reason they can't spell Ontario but it is Big-O) Tom B. (LongLine)

JayVe's has them on the wall behind the counter. Tom B. (LongLine)

S'Spoon - Speed & leed (lead). You have to experiment. As to which scum line, you have to watch temp gages. The one at 150FOW had extremely cold water outside of it. make sure what you're seeing is fish and not big flotsam/jetsum. Normally if I see what look like multiple lines I'll zigzag thru them or turn big circle, on my way out. HIH Tom B. (LongLine)

Only made it out for a couple hours this morning. 2 Cohos & a Bow. Bigger Coho 27 inches. All 35 down over 130FOW. Interesting temps 120 to 150 FOW. 150 FOW - 42F surf, 39.5F down 20. 2 minor scum lines & 2 sharp temp breaks in the area. All on Bloody Silv/Blk R&R. Very aggressive fish. 2.0 down-speed, “zigging & a zaggingâ€Â

Gator – Yuk. Some say therapy is better than surgery. (should’a named this thread “buggers & boogersâ€Â

Big bugs or little ones :?: :?: :?: What depth :?: :?: :?: Tom B. (LongLine)

SeeF’ – you should have put up a pix of what you ordered & received. Nem’ – I commend your beliefs & Co loyalty however, in addition to a reply I would have told the boss about this thread and given whoever told the customer to “call back tomorrowâ€Â

billyb - How about some shower curtain rings/clips to hold cable to cable? J.A.T. Tom B. (LongLine)

Not a cloud in the sky, very light west wind. Launched at sunup, off when my ears were cooked around noon, East side of the River, 50-105 FOW. Surf temp dropped from 47.5 to 45.5 at 85 FOW with a few logs & a few of those diving birds. Not much color to the water. Deeper water was blue. “Constipationâ€Â

Launched at the river at 5:30. Cool with N’ly wind, maybe 2 footers coming straight up the river. Decided to try the east side this time. Stayed 60-90 FOW. 52F surf, rapid temp change down 24 (47F) to 32 (40F). basically a clean screen all morning. Anyways, here’s my youngest with a couple he got on a 28 seedless melon, both down 31: (Stlhd, 28â€Â

Chuck - Ever do it on the way back to the launch? At dockside? Only means you'd have to stop trolling for a few minutes. :idea: You could throw a couple jigs on. When you put it in neutral & goose it, does it blow a lot of smoke? If so, you're getting oil in the cylinder somehow and it has to clear out &/or blow-by. Also are you using fresh gas? Sometimes a "splash" of water from condensation gets into the engine & they run like "crap", but generally clear when rev'd in neutral until the next "splash" gets pumped in. (Plug check really would tell you a lot.) Tom B. (LongLine)

yeah... guess this guy was on the small side... http://fishing.lakeontariounited.com/vi ... php?t=1332 Tom B. (LongLine)

Chuck - I honestly don't know but where I'd start is to pull the plugs immediately after it "bangs" and examine them for clues. If starving, 1 would be dry. If there's "crap" in there, some would be overly wet or "crapped" up. Tom B. (LongLine)

Launched at the Genny around 6 again. No picture of the sunrise today as it was a no-show this morning. Chilly breeze out of the SW. Heavy overcast w/ low flying clouds. Went off the station to lots of activity in 15-20FOW. Surf temp in close 46F & dropped to 41F past 35 FOW. Took a while to find it, but purple & red seemed to be the color today. Went 3 for 3 on small Browns, 4 or 5 Lbs. All heading east with the wind and right on the bottom. Only interesting pic was this one (that I cut off) This guy had a 6â€Â

FB - Only if you want to. How bout some pics? Tom B. (LongLine)

Yeah turkeys get my attention too, especially when they cut to close to the back of my boat or hold their d'm regttas Tom B. (LongLine)

BBM - If the number of fish were a great as you imply then yes the DEC should have been notified. I'm sure they would've appreciated a photo of what you saw, if possible. It might be a case of a fishkill due to the recent cold then hot sun & shallow water there but probably best to let DEC make that determination. Tom B. (LongLine)
