    Thanks for the kind words guys. I have ordered fishing gear from places for years and really appreciated the customer service of guys like Tom Allen (Atommik). I model my customer service after Toms customer service. Along with customer service, I constantly improving my product. You will see a change in hooks on my rigs to a new stronger hook. Over the winter, I am changing from 30lb mono to 30lb floro. All of these improvements with zero price increase.

    Stories like this are the ones you never hear. That one A-hole captain ruins it for all of them. In my years on the lake, I have found most of the captains are great guys.

    The get rid of kings mentality makes no sense. Without kings, you wouldn't have a fishery. Kings are the financial driver of the fishery AND without them, lake trout, Atlantics and steelhead would be doomed. If the lake went back natural species, Atlantic salmon would be in worse shape than they are now (thiamine issues from eating alewives) AND the trib fishery would dwindle to a handful of people. Lakers only run the Niagara in good numbers and Unicorns (Atlantics) cant survive in good enough numbers to make a real spawning population.

    I kept one deep hooked from conesus years ago. It was not good at all. It was very fishy and mushy. I will not keep one for the table ever again!

    If you were to build a fishery according to this statement, Lake Trout stocking would be the lowest of all the species. Most anglers on Lake Ontario do not value Lake trout for recreation or food because the NYS Health department recommends EAT NONE for most lake trout.

    Oh and about the Koolaide, the people stirring the Koolaide were also the same ones that told us a couple years ago (2014) that there was not enough bait to increase king stocking and went on to tell us that they are raising laker stocking from 500,000 / year to 800,000 / year.

    Try Augies on Ridge Rd Matt. I got mine there last year. There was a shop in buffalo that was carrying it also. They had it all season last year. I got another container of it during gun season.

    You can say that about the DEC (to a point) but I have a hard time saying that about the OMNR due to their Atlantic program. They have wasted hatchery space and resources on Atlantics that have VERY POOR returns to the Canadian tribs even though 600,000 are stocked annually in the Canadian tribs. The returns were in the single digits on the tribs where they were stocked. If the OMNR was trying to maintain a World Class fishery, they need to stop wasting resources on Atlantics.............

    I can't believe you believe every word a government agency (DEC) feeds you. They are a state agency with a budget that needs to get trimmed. I believe two year classes are low but I don't believe they are as low as they lead on. If the bait situation was so bad, why would they cut and turn around and let the pen projects pen more fish? Pen fish have a way better survival rate. If they wanted a true cut to save the bait, they would have cut the direct stocked and pen projects to make a true difference. This sounds like cost cutting to me. The low bait years are just an excuse to make cuts and save money by raising less fish. We will see if there is another warm winter with a bug year class of bait, if we go back to the numbers from two years ago. I said it when they announced the cuts that stocking numbers will never go back to the levels they were two years ago of they make cuts. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
