Fish deeper, mature kings prefer colder water.

That fishery stays fairly stable at Olcott through the 2nd week of August, then dries up as the migrants start heading east.

Yes

if you say so, it must be true

I do, and it is.[emoji6]

a friend of a friend ask me to save a couple for his smoker.

after a couple weeks , I got back a couple chunks to try. Really awful.

I do sometimes fish with a guy who will eat anything we catch, so I dont have to release bleeders and floaters

here he is with one from last year, he love them:

but really, you guys eat browns? I dont think theyd be any better?

You couldn't be more wrong. Browns are delicious.

Delete double post

Roland Martining on my boat will get you banned from grabbing a rod, immediately[emoji6].

I thought of a good one last night but my wife wouldnt have any part of me naming the boat "balls deep" ahhhah.

That's ok, there are at least a half dozen boats with that name on the lake already. And that's just the ones I'm aware of. Probably 2-3X that overall.

Lively I think you can take whatever Hank says to the bank....he really knows what he is talking about

This!!

Mobility - the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. The the mobility of your boat! Trolling bags are affected by currents and sway back and forth while turning and are not reliable for control over your boat. A trolling plate attaches directly to you lower unit centered and bolted in. It can easily move with the turn of the wheel (mobility) and does not create excessive uneven current that can throw off side planers or flat lines. In My Opinion a trolling plate is a better choice.

I do believe your reasoning is 180 deg out of phase.

That should be plenty of bag. I had 2 28" Amish outfitter beefy bags on my 24' Thompson with 230 hp 5.0L I/O and both of those those deployed would just about drag me to a dead stop at idle.

Don't take anything published by the daily kooks as reliable information.

Hey Mark,

Great to see you back, Bud.Hope everything continues to go well for you.

No reason to think it was a fellow fisherman.  More likely that it was a junkie just stealing stuff to sell to support their habit.

But that farm raised salmon is highly contaminated dogfood and the process destroys the rivers it takes place in. Look at what the fish farms have done to the BC wild pacific salmon stocks, plus that garbage is dyed to look orange for the supermarket fish counter.

Yes 5 years in the ocean, but unlike our Tule strain of kings here in the great lakes, which smolt ou the first spring, I believe the Kenai River Kings smolt out and head to the ocean at 2 1/2 years, so really you are both right.

FWIW I've been running a Depth Raider for years, simply because I wanted the digital display.  Both are fine units, as is the Fish Hawk.X4 series of units.

Best pulling boards on the market!!

They are the same technology, Moor's. The only difference is the analog vs digital display. However, unfortunately, Moor has closed it's doors so one existing stock is depleted, that is it.

The services for Pat Comerford will be at 10:00 AM Thursday 4/14 at Saint John the Baptist Church 2021 Sandridge Road Alden NY.

Yesterday, LOTSA and the Lake Ontario Fishing Community lost a good friend and long time member with the passing of Pat Comerford. (Sandman) (Silver Junkies).

Pat fought a long and brave battle against his illness (cancer) which he lost this morning (Sunday 4-10-2016). He will be missed by all of us that knew him and had the pleasure of fishing with him. Arrangements will be posted when finalized.

On Thursday April 14th at 7pm the Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) will be sponsoring a Seminar by Charter Captain Rich Hajecki (Yankee Troller) on Techniques for spring Kings on Lake Ontario. As an added bonus we will also have pizza and drinks for all, complements of Rich and LOTSA. See you there.

Rich is well known for consistently finishing high on the leader boards of numerous Derbies and Tournaments over the past few years. Last season Rich and his team finished first in the Niagra Pro Am Trophy Division, first in The King of the Oak, first in The Oak Orchard Open and first in The Western Challenge Cup Trophy Division. In all they have racked up eight tournament wins, five titles and thirty top five placings. His tournament team has won professional tournaments against the best salmon fishing teams that Lake Ontario has to offer. They set the Lake Ontario Tournament record in 2013 for winning the most money in a single season! Rich is also well known throughout the Lake Ontario fishing community for freely sharing information on what he did and how he did it to catch fish after each of his trips.

This may sound a little off but I don't understand why they don't gather their data from fisherman too. Do a survey at the middle or end of May from guys that fish frequently. If the alewife population is healthy, you will know it when fishing the shoreline in April/may.

I can see how their data could be off misleading considering weather patterns/forage/water temps etc.

Because that information/data is anecdotal, not scientific.
