Too much popcorn Scott. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nothing better than watching an episode of Jerry Springer while eating kettle corn Bill. Good choice! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I got butter or kettle corn in the pantry Bill. Which you do you want me to pop? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Never put the rubber band around the reel handle! I have seen guys make a mess doing that! Use Saltist reels and no rubber band is necessary! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That boat bounces around like an aluminum boat. No thanks.

Good stuff Shawn!

This thread is getting way too political IMO.

Yes. I have no problem with a guy making a living off of a fishing tournament. The money paid out in the LOC is good if you win or place in the top spot in each division. We also have to choice to fish these tournaments. I choose to fish the LOC but not the Classics.

I thought the Summer Classic and Winter classic didn't make much money because of all the expenses?

My buddy found a couple of those at the Genny last fall. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Most lake guys have taken responsibility and admit that C&R is not good on the lake. Guys are going huge lengths to C&R steelhead like the boga method. My beef with the tribs is the illegal shenanigans that goes on. If you want to manage the steelhead as a trib fishery, clean up the illegal crap on the tribs. C&R on the tribs needs to be studied on the pressured tribs to see what damage is being done. No one has proof that heavy C&R does not cause harm to the fishery. I have no problem with legit trib guys that respect the fishery. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Steelhead catches were down according to the DEC. Lake trout also. Makes sense when Kings were everywhere and guys didn’t have to venture far offshore. I only caught 18 steelhead last season. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

According to the state of the lake meeting, steelhead returns are not as good as they should be. I guess guys bragging about 20+ days on the pin rod are all lies. I fished the days of the crickets. Horrible. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The enforcement is something we can agree on. The snaggers just lining and lifting, not on the Genny or the Oak. The salmon river may have cleaned up a little but it is still an issue that really needs to be taken care of to help us have a healthy fishery.

If they have a license, if the judges doesn’t throw away the tickets and they do not harm the fishery by taking more than their limit. There are not nearly enough ECO’s to cover the tribs. They want to promote the tribs but they do not want to do anything to keep the fishery from getting rapped by snaggers. Until they can get the shenanigans under control, promoting the tribs is only going to be bad for the tribs. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I used to trib fish a lot in my younger days. The crowds were annoying due to the fact that most were snaggers. I got annoyed with the constant disregard for the fishery. I spent many hours waiting for the DEC to arrive and then not show up. It really is a shame that we have a world class fishery in our back yard and the DEC does not care at all about it once deer season and duck season start.

And this is the reason why the tribs should have more regulation than the lake.......... Heck, lets have a program to promote the tribs more, they need it.

That's what the Salmon River looks like in the fall.

yes sir
