    Dave, Are they doing any kind of tagging (Adipose clip or Coded wire tag) of these wild fish to see if there is any kind of survival rate after they leave the creek? I would imagine the Ibay predators put a hurting on them. It would be an interesting study.

    I was hoping bird flu took care of them….

    If Atlantics have an alewife diet, they will not do great. There have been studies done on this. The thiamine deficiency causes mortality in adults. Why don’t we see big Atlantics often? This is the reason. Yes proper stocking practices will help survival rate of stockers, but it will do nothing to help mortality rates due to thiamine deficiency from an alewife diet. Until alewife disappear from Lake Ontario, Atlantics will suffer.

    I enjoyed it too. I used to be the schedule coordinator for the Sandy project and that was a pain in the butt. Not being able to fill slots, and people not showing up really sucked. The feeders made that easy and was more consistent for dropping food with less waste.

    I still don't understand why you guys have not gone to automatic feeders. When we had them at the Sandy project, it simplified things and fed slower so less food dropped through the bottom of the pens.

    It's managed as a put and take fishery. If it wasn't for tournaments and charters taking fish out of the lake, the alewife population would be in trouble.

    Atlantic catch rates on the rise? I did catch two last year compared to one the season before. Over the years the Atlantic population seems cyclical. 2006 we caught 16 Atlantics, 2007 we caught 12 and the following year we caught 1. Every year we catch way more coho than Atlantics even though Atlantics are stocked in much great numbers. NY stocks about the same amount of each species yet Canada stocks way more Atlantics (400,000) in the lake than coho (80,000).

    Those marks are sometimes lakers. I used to fish them out to 220' on the bottom. They could be kings and I have taken some down that deep. White paddles with glow or white meat rigs have been my go to that deep.

    Will do! Glad you are happy with the pup!

    If the fingerlakes had a better food source than alewife, Atlantics would do even better than they do in the fingerlakes. Same with lake O. Lake Ontario would pump out giants with a better food source.

    The alewife population in Lake Huron crashed. They now have a more diverse diet. I will see if I can dig up the study I read a couple years ago. Thiamine deficiency affects Atlantics more than the other salmonoids stocked in Lake Ontario. There is a high mortality rate in Atlantics on alewife diets.

    Studies have proven that Atlantics on an alewife diet will not flourish. I don't understand the square block in a round hole mentality of the DEC and the Feds.

    The boga grip on a rope trick works awesome for boats with high free board.

    Most will not catch 4 legal Atlantics in a season, let alone one day!

    You are not Illegal if you continue fishing as long as you haven't boxed an Atlantic over 25" and 2 lakers for each client.

    The Rochester Basin is the best area on the lake for consistent colored water. You could launch at the Genesee River or Ibay. IF the Genny is running hard, the mud plume can be miles long along the shoreline.

    Can we go back to 2012? That season was amazing for big fish and numbers!

    There was an icebreaker out off of buffalo harbor yesterday. SW wind too.

    I wonder how much the ice boom affects spawning walleye, bass, steelhead, musky and sturgeon? Has a study ever been done?
  25. GAMBLER
    If you are worried about docks and boat houses being damaged by ice, what is stopping them from getting damaged when the boom breaks or they clear the boom with 250 sq miles of ice still left on Erie? If are worried about damage, you shouldn't build there......
