    If this is going to happen, the Great Lake States should band together and make a multistate organization that financially supports the Great Lakes research.

    Looking at the web cam on this website, it looks like some colored water is back on the shoreline. It had been crystal clear since last week inside.

    If the survey isn't done, and the ding dongs running this state want to know why we spend millions on a fishery, not having this data to show how often the fishery is being used would not be smart. These guys and gals also take scale samples and measure fish.

    That was the old StarCraft back in 2013. This boat just got the repower. This coming offseason, it will be getting a new kicker and Dek-it flooring!

    Sell the boat? Are you nuts? 🤣

    Over the winter, Tom Barbara of East Fork Pro Marine rebuilt the 5.7 in my boat. We did a motor test Wednesday and Thursday afternoon was the first fishing trip of the year. We left the creek at 3:15 and was greeted with a flat calm lake and crystal clear water inside. We ran to the lake trout grounds and found a spotty screen. When we marked fish, we caught fish. We had a steady pick on lakers all evening. Hammerhead Cowbells in Froggy, Crystalina Watermelon UV, Gambler Rigs in Bullfrog, Alien and 2 Face were the best producers. 95-115' was the best zone. It seems like the natural reproduction is up. We caught 6 lakers that had didn't have an adipose fin clip. At the end of the trip, the Canadian Coastguard icebreaker (Griffin) motored by us and it looked like they were setting the buoy on Wautoma Shoals. Not sure if that was what they were doing or not because they were too far away.

    The USGS guys and gals (especially Brian) are great people and do great work. Without them, this fishery will be a mess. It is important to write politicians to put pressure to keep the USGS programs.

    I saw one report of a couple kings caught. Not as many as two ports to the East of us at Sandy.

    Anyone try out of Sandy this morning? I'm heading out at 3 and was looking for intel.

    Yawn.........I love how fishing topics are turning into political jabs back and forth. Cut the BS and talk fishing. There is already enough division in this country. Let's not divide this place too. I come here to read and talk fishing........

    I heard he even produces liquid methane on ice fishing trips? Any truth to that rumor Keith?

    When you align the Kicker and outdrive, make sure the drive is down. If it isn't, the alignment will be off.

    Less than 250 square miles for days yet they didn't pull the boom. Complete BS.........

    I run #1 and #2 chinook divers on the 4 setting out 15-25’ with a 8 foot leader and a spoon. What speed are you trolling? With the cold water, slower speeds are best.

    I just bought the Millennium fixed trees for my boat. Good deal for the price!

    The bow was given to me for my son to use under the condition I passed it on when I was done for free. I’m happy to see someone will use it with their kid to get them into the great sport of archery. Hunting is a dying tradition in today’s messed up world. We need youth to continue the tradition for future generations!

    When I had my boat there in 2006, depth wasn’t an issue. The channel from the marina to the creek is tight but manageable. The only issue is the low hanging tree branches. Antennas, rods and nets would hit branches. Hopefully he trims them with a pole saw.

    Kings are showing up in Rochester already.

    Reminds me of a couple episodes of Deadliest Catch where they fish the edge of the Arctic ice pack!

    Its gotta look a lot different this morning. Lots of wind and ice flowing by the camera last night. Camera also looks a lot cleaner this morning.

    Quality florocarbon is more abrasion resistant than mono. It you are casting, braid is thinner and you get further casts. also with casting, you get less loops and line twists. If you are jigging, braid has more feel.

    The longer the boom is in place, the longer the wall of cold water coming down the Niagara keeps the kings bottled up West of the Niagara River.

    They already cull a certain amount on the bay every year.

    Stingers have a wide speed range from slow to moderately fast. Dreamweavers and NK's are a heavier blank and are better at medium to faster speeds. Optimizers are built for speed and are your best spoon for high end speeds.

    Between the pike, bass, perch, walleye and cormorants, it's an uphill battle no matter how smart they are. Just the cormorants alone are a problem. Although, if Atlantics are raised there, maybe the USGS will kill more cormorants. Sounds like a win win to me.
