Please don't report on xxxxx on the web. Glad you had a good trip.

Didn't see one. What Ya see it what she was dragging.

I've seen two dragging flashers in the last couple years!

Pulled this outta the mouth of a nice hen the other day, along with my skein hook! Never seen one before, not being a boat guy, but I figured out what it was!

If you're gonna be float fishing, and you're familiar with one, try a baitcaster. I used a spinning reel for steel this week for the first time in 12 years or so. It's a LOT of work to float with a spinning reel. Way tougher than I rember. If you're bottom bouncing, the other guys nailed it. The Fish Eagle will serve you well and won't break the bank.

Its the same with the bank guys. I never mind sharing the water with good guys who know what they are doing. But post about specific locales, and ya end up with a bunch of guys who couldn't catch a fish if their life depended on it trying to rip through the runs and putting the bite down. or anchoring their bait to the bottom and tying up the run while waiting for a salmon to swim into their line....it sucks! Collisions and tangles are NO fun! That should NEVER happen on the lake. Even a small lake..

Rock stacking!!!!! That's s great plan! You seldom have an opportunity like this, especially on a lake. Take full advantage of it! I'm a salmon and trout trib guy. I know ALL about burning your own spots. I share techniques, rigging, baits, etc... But I don't spot burn anymore sad that the lakes are going this way too....

Great idea! Not sure if this is something "kick start" could be used to generate funds for, but it's worth a try. I've got no boat, but I'd donate time in the tribs or time helping in another's boat.

Super easy to catch with patience and a dip net. I was referring to the keuka bait shops. I've never seen saw bellies for sale in rochester either. Not sure a minnow trap would be effective.

That makes sense. As I understand it, the alewife spawn after the perch, in the same areas, and find their eggs delicious.

I catch the heck out of em at night in the spring on keuka. Never had a problem with the DEC. The ones I catch are bigger and more lively than the bait shop fish. I seem to de better on em too. its fun, but ya gotta have a bright light and be willing to stay up late for em to come in.

Great action! Seen a LOT of rods blow up by grabbing up by the first guide. We are all tempted/forced to do it sometimes, but be careful. She will blow eventually!

They want an LP storage facility under the lake. Terrible idea, not that anyone asked me.
