GAMBLER

When are you going? We did a shrimp and crab charter and it was a blast. We brought home 45lbs of shrimp and 105 blue crab.

I fish browns all summer and have the big boards out every trip. If it's banging the beach in August after an upwelling or thermalcline browns in 50', they are out. They are just pulling different rods.

It's all we can do. NY doesn't care about hunting and fishing enough in this state to put the proper amount of CO's on staff to make a difference. The CO's we have now do a great job but are so under staffed.

I’m all for using new and different tactics to stop guys from breaking game laws and abusing the resources. Stricter fines, tickets that stick and using technology like you stated would be a great start.

Believe what you want. Letting criminals out early, sanctuary cities, bail reform, ect. Soft on Crime policies don't make criminals fear the law.

DEC has trouble getting tickets to stick in some areas and the fines are a joke. The guys breaking the law on the tribs don't give a rats a$$. I have watched them snag away in the Genny gorge and see a CO coming and they just run. Stricter fines would be a better deterrent. Seeing that NY favors the criminal, it's not going to happen.

4. You would have to have huge amounts of chlorine in the water to affect the fish. It would be eaten up by the organics in the water. We treat millions of gallons of Raw water from Lake Ontario daily. It takes hundreds of gallons a day to have a low residual in the water. 7. I would say there are a bunch of guys beating them up that is contributing to the die off. Do I think it's the entire reason? No. IMO, it's more than one factor. Hopefully these guys back off the steelhead a little.

If you read the comments on the facebook post, it's from guys catching them over and over again. A fish getting caught every time it tries to eat a meal isn't good. When you exert a ton of energy and can't get a meal without a hook, it's not good for your body.

It's not happening until after they are released after being caught from the reports. Catching them over and over again depriving them of a meal can't be helpful.

Repaint the Stingers that the paint comes off.

Word on the street is there are a lot of dead steelhead washing up on the banks of the Salmon River after being caught. I watched a video clip of dead steelhead in pools and there were a lot. Guys are saying they are being released and not making it. They are seeing them swirling after release and then floating up dead.

Who is going this weekend? I will be there with Gambler Rigs. Stop by and stock up on the latest and greatest laker gear. I will have a show special, 2023 pricing!
