laker taker

Dre, I was thinking Channel Catfish? The thing weighed....I bet between 15 and 20lbs best guess. Chuck

Caught and released this guy yesterday caught him down 30 over 80 feet of water on the core. Pretty cool fish really a surprise and certainly a first. He was 30" and at least 7" across. Did one other Laker about 28" and a 5 other hits. Water really cooling down now 63 nice temp break at 40 feet drops right to 48 degrees. Chuck

Nice post Dan! It's on.... "I have yet to catch an Atlantic on Ontario yet" Well said Steve!

FLX, If I remember correctly that brown was 34" and 21lbs-4oz...she was all belly! I know exactly what your talking about... I like how the DEC is focusing upon the rainbows ...my goal had always been a 12 lb bow from there. I bet very few walleye and browns of that size exist now in there....but hey you never know what going to hit next!

Great fish! Congratulations! That is one special lake!! Chuck

Summer is here! This fella hit a needlefish 22 feet down off the downrigger and headed to the west side pulling about 250 yards of line like a King made a U-Turn and returned to the boat like a stump! Also caught 5 smallmouth ...no trout any where. Chuck

Hit Hemlock today from 6:00-2:00-2 boats five guys. A little competition today between friends. Dan "The Man" Hollihan and his father took the 2015 Cup today well done! Fished the whole lake most fish were 25-50 feet down over everything...mostly spoon bite but everything took fish today! Chuck

I wonder if I got the same fish last year about this time of year? He was about 26" last year...

Went out Sunday afternoon...stopped at Roy's for bait and ran to and launched at Severne Point wide open and ice free. Didn't find them. Guys were launching and running to Sampson on the open water from Roy's. On the drive back up it looked like floating ice in two large clusters, north of Dresden. Could have been snow geese hard to tell, guessing it was ice, as it would have been two large large flocks. (so be careful...) Chuck

That is a great fish! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Great fish! You have that brown program down!!!

Hit Hemlock for a 6 hour tour with Nathan and the beagle today finally found them.. 1-26"-6lb-4oz, 1-25" 6lb-0oz female, kicking myself now should have let her go but they are to good on the grill! both down 25 feet over 55 feet. Chuck

Nice looking rainbow! Today Hemlock, 48 degree water was 43 feet down...this really has my curiosity up..it is amazing how it changes...bet it is tied to the total amount of water in the lake...Skinny has a lot more than Hemlock, Seneca and Cayuga has probably has at least 20 times as much as both combined...it would seem to reason that colder water in smaller lakes would be deeper not shallower?... You may be onto something with the springs and their impact on the total volume of water. Thanks Chuck

ok...

Here are the pictures! Chuck
