Getting rid of pike fishing on the ice would not be cool. I would be all for a 1 pike limit on the ice. That makes a lot more sense than closed season. Pike are easier to access during the winter months but, they are not as easy to catch. I have never had a day where I caught 15 pike on the ice on Conesus but have had 15 pike days in the fall from the boat.

Thats a good idea. Only problem is my wife would kill me if I was stealing foam out of our new couch cushions.

That would be great! MIght have to start looking into another copper set up or 2.

If it passes, we will be lucky to see this in the next decade. NYS is not the quickest at getting things done. All joking a side, I believe it would be 2012. The regs are changed every 2 years.

Eggs can be treated to kill VHS disease. A charter captain at the state of the lake meetings last year had all the info.

If they still want to use it, my neighbors is usually green by mid June.

I would say Iaconelli also. No one in the industry is as passionate about fishing as he is. My least favorite is Bill Dance. Anyone can catch big bass on PRIVATE lakes or ponds. Anyone ever see a boat in the back ground of one of his bass fishing shows?

Jerry has a show? Oh wait, I remember the commercial with the car through the garage door.

Not sure. I know bait shops can only keep there bait so long also. Call the DEC. They are always willing to answer questions.

Ronix, The new bait laws only allow us to keep our bait 10 days. Not enough time to get them that big.

I think everyone here collects fishing equipment. One of our members has the largest collection of Needlefish spoons in the world .

why would you plan a trip on april 1st bonehead I would rather be chasing 100lb. tarpon on April 1st over spending April 1st chasing trout on amateur day.

I would make the musky limit on Ontario / St. Lawrence 1 per season. Kind of like a deer tag system. Once your tag is full, your done for the season. If you revive fish and don't keep them, you can keep fishing. This would keep guys from keeping multiple musky in one season. The St Lawrence muskies are caught accidentally by pike and walleye fishermen. Most guys keep them for a wall hanger. A lot of fishermen do not have the respect for the fish/fishery that you guys have.

I have run my probe on all 4 riggers to see. It reads great on all riggers.

Being a married man, you should know the answer to that question Ray!

Prayers sent.

Steve, What size? The guy that did the fberglass work had some teak doors. Let me know.

Glen, I know this has nothing to do with Lake O kings. But, I would not put it past the state to cut salmon stocking to save $$$$ when they find out more info on Lake Ontario natural reproduction kings.

Thanks guys. FISHINMAN, Just remember, I'm still a COUPLE decades younger than you!

I see the DEC wants to cut laker stocking in Seneca because of natural reproduction. Are Lake O Kings next? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22782

Slang dictionary? I thought that was in the regular Italian dictionary?

THey need something to do all day!

I would vote for Sandy Creek (Hamlin) but it's not there. The same (if not better fishing than the Oak) and 100 less boats to troll around on a Saturday. Sandy has it all for fish species. Look at the structure with in a couple miles of Port. You have Devils Nose, Wautoma Shoal, Light House point and Braddocks point. If the Oak was so good, why did a bunch of Pro Am boats drive from the Oak to Sandy 2 years ago on Big fish Friday? I recall seeing a bunch of big names around that morning.

And it is a blast to reel in 2 fish on one rod.

Interesting.... It was 34 degrees at the intake from Jan 3rd until March 14th. Since then it has not gotten below 38 degrees. Anyways, Erie has some ice left but too much left for us trollers.
