    New Invasive speices......?

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    I see them on sea run Atlantic salmon. When u see them it means that they just came in from the ocean and have been in the river less than 24 hours. Generally the sea lice can't survive in fresh water and fall off and die. Very interesting that they can transition to fresh water. Most of the infestations have come from Atlantic salmon farming in net pens. Its time to move the aquaculture of salmon on land. Many studies show the pen farming is harming native stocks around the world.

    My wife is from A bay. She worked on the cruise line and also had her own boat and jet ski up there. She knows the harbor zones, speed limits, shoals and has a lifetime of water knowledge up there. We were on the jet ski one afternoon, wife was driving. Pulled into A bay and got stopped by a trooper who was anchored and had the binocks on us. He said she was speeding in a harbor zone. She then proceed to lecture him on where it started and ended not to mention we were in some sort of back channel that she knew all the names and zones. The trooper was flabbergasted and said have a nice day.

    Barrel Swivel

    I do not use barrel swivels for leaders. I use a double surgeons knot. I have never had one fail. I like my odds better with 1 knot as opposed to 2. However I'm using what Tim is for my blood run wire (fished instead of lead core, not to be confused with wire divers.) And it works fine.

    Cayuga 7/14 - Jigging Report

    If you want retrieve speed I suggest getting a pen jigmaster reel. I used them for tuna and yellow tail when I lived in san Diego. Drop to the bottom and reel like heck! It takes a bit to get used to but the retrieval speed is worth it.

    Rustyrat Cayuga report.

    Fished quite a bit for the last few weeks. The laker bite has been very good. I've been fishing north of the plant, long point and sheldrake. Depth varies from 60 to 120. Wires doing most of the damage a few feet off bottom. I have been catching salmon but nothing of substance in the last week. Lots of 16 to 17 inchers. They have been down 30 to 50. Green flies behind silver or trash can dodgers have been hot. Fingerlakes spoons in green or alwive have been taking salmon. Fleas are in full bloom. Weeds are tolorable if you can look forward and work around them. Good luck to all next weekend in the red cross derby. I have charters and won't be entering.
