Tall Tails

Circles in the harbor! Iced out with the blow. Hopefully some correcting winds will happen and at least get you back outside the break wall. I am sure if its good weather the offshore bite is still holding for 2yr olds and stragglers.

Just had friends get back yesterday from the same area. They did ok. It was awesome prior to the hurricane of course.

Boat Zincs.com great prices great service.

Age starts at conception

Michigan has 4yr old kings because of a lack of bait and there fish need the extra year to sexually mature. We have 95% of our Kings maturing at 3 years of age because we have plenty of food and our net pens are giving them a fantastic start on life. No complaints here.

They set up the stupid midway in the parking lot of the marina..... Lets have a "Harbor Fest" but not let trucks and trailers park....typical of Oswego of late..

They do give them a call. It is called Oswego Marina. Last I talked to them they were booked solid but it is always worth a phone call.

Quite a few guys paint there probe black. They feel it makes a difference. I think the opposite. Something about that red blinking light some days they like a lot! I don't see it as a negative. Could just be the way your fishing that particular rigger.

Add this below your blacks and it should fix the issue. https://fishhawkelectronics.com/shop/accessories/breakaway-double-snap-swivel-2-per-pack/

You can launch at Wrights Landing but there are no services and you are on your own. Kind of like if you were duck hunting and using the launch in December. Mexico pt is also open for business. Going west, Olcott is also open and probably has the best fishing right now. Pack boots no matter where you are going.

Yup if you twist them pulling them out they will. Gotta back them straight out. I had a few do the same till I figured it out. Still the sharpest hook out there. Have a good season!

Thank you for your effort on this Phil. It is good news that certain folks within the DEC want to sit down with you to discuss some of the points raised in your paper. After looking at the SOFTL data presented the other night I have no doubt that the 2 yr old class of fish is down in size 1.6lbs on average as recruitment from that class is mostly wild fish. The stellar fishing last year was in large part because of that 2 yr old class. We know it takes a wild fish extra time to get to maturity vs a pen raised fish. With the success of the pen raised fish we have artificially sped up the maturity of the lake salmon. They run at 3yrs old for the most part now. Very Very few 4 yr olds which would be 30 plus pound fish. I would expect pretty good fishing for that yr class this yr as 3yr olds and a very big trib run this fall.

Details in this thread guys. Sorry I cant post it everywhere.

Ok guys and Gals thank you for bearing with us! Here is the seminar line up for the March 16th tackle swap at Brewerton Fire department. 1045 to 1145- Brian Gamble from Gambler Rigs will be giving us an in-depth presentation into catching Lake Trout. This should be fantastic as many of you know Brian is at the top of the game when it comes to catching these old big dinosaurs! And he has developed and markets the rigs to get it done. 1145 to 1245- Capt. Werner Stenger, from Popeye Charters out of Fairhaven will be talking about Spring fishing out of Fairhaven. Werner has been in the game for well over 20 years and has a wealth of knowledge on fishing the East end of Lake Ontario. We very much look forward to what Werner will share with us. As far as the show goes it is a complete sell out at this point. Over 25 tables filled with new and used tackle. Doors will open at 9am Sharp! The fire department will be selling food all day as well. All of the money raised by ELOSTA at this event goes to sending kids to DEC camp so please come out and see what it is all about! I will be at the door so please stop and say hello Capt. Brian Garrett Tall Tails Sportfishing

Tuesday March 19th at 630pm at Pulaski High School. 4624 Salina St. Pulaski NY. See you all there!

Unfortunately the way all State agency's operate since Andrew Cuomo came into office is all material released to the public must come thru his office. This includes anything and everything the DEC sends out including even the state of the lake date announcements. I have heard it called a gag order by DEC employees before. It was not this way prior to Cuomo taking office... you make your own assumptions.. I will make mine..

Every once in awhile in your career you come across a true professional. I did not know Kevin on a personal level however on a professional level he set the bar. I was privileged to have talked fishing and the industry with him on a couple occasions and his passion always shined thru. This a fantastic tribute. Two day 12 and 12 tourneys will always let the cream rise to the top. Looking forward to see what is in store for the future of this tournament.
