    Why fix it if it ain't broken....just saying If you can't catch kings these days it is the conditions not for a lack of kings. Putting more kings in the lake would not help the poor fishing we had down at Niagara this Spring. I fished the late 80s and 90s when stocking was higher and alewife populations were insane. Catch rates were actually worse for me back then. I remember the Spring and Fall fishing being excellent but the Summer fishery was dismal. Seems like we have a good balance right now. Couple observations that seem to contradict an over abundance of bait: 1. No 40lb kings like there used to be. 2. Catch rates are at a all time high. My two cents

    Not great. Some rain today so that may help

    Wilson Boatyard not listed as a weigh station for the LOC Derby on the LOC site. Anybody know if this is true?

    Any repair shops near Rochester? Broke the lever that engages/disengages the spool

    Is the 1K/day tourney included in the "no fishing in canada" rule? Was thinking about getting in to that tourney for the week but plan on fishing in Canada.

    Was either the Spring of 1995/96 when there was a late release. Ice was still coming out of the river almost all the way down to Wilson. Fished on the edge of the flow and caught laker after laker, couple steelies. No kings to be found.

    Thanks all. So you are mainly fishing near shore with boards for Kings down there? I called the Ontario Natural Resources number from Paul. They gave me a number for the "Simplied Cell Phone Reporting for Private Boaters in Border Waters" and said we need to call that number before entering Canadian waters and report in. Also, need passport/enhanced license as well as outdoor card & conservation license. Didn't make it seem too difficult. Thanks again, DR

    Thinking we are going to need one this year to get into any decent king action during the Spring LOC. Just looking for some advice and where/how/when I can get one and the cost? Is there anything I else I need to consider to fish Canadian waters in our own boat? Also, typically how far west would I have to run from the Niagara river to start getting in to some Kings? Thanks in advance, DR

    Just an interesting tidbit that I saw on a nature show. Litter size for coyotes is directly dependent on population density. When the population starts to decrease it is corrected by a litter size of 15-20 pups per litter. Overpopulation and they may only have 1 to 3 pups. Reducing coyotes out west has always been a losing proposition because of this. The rebound of these animals from hunting pressure is simply amazing. Off topic, but I thought I’d share.

    Thanks. Was looking at a 2005-2007 cuddy. Doesn't appear they make a walk around anymore. Would prefer the extra room in the cockpit/cabin area that a cuddy offers for LO fishing. Also, it appears the freeboard is a liitle deeper in the cuddy compared to the walkaround.

    Starting to look around a bit for a A-Lure-A II. The Wellcraft Coastal 252 looks like it would make a mean LO fishing boat with just enough emenities to be family friendly. Anybody have any experience with this boat or know where I may be able to see one in person? http://www.wellcraft.com/index.php/COASTAL/252%20COASTAL Thanks in advance, D

    If you want cuda or shark go with the nearshore trip with Dreamcatcher charters.

    Duckman. I would say that if that buck is 200 this one is more like 180. They live long here as long as they don't get hit by a car

    I have a massive 8 pointer guarding a doe here in my yard in irondequoit. He has been chasing a 4 pointer all day. I have some contractors here putting up a fence that have had to run out of their way for fear of being run over. The big buck is totally crazed thrashing trees all day and charging the smaller buck...and contractors if they are in the way. Pretty cool. Hope they don't get hit by a car. Nearest woods is a half mile away. Contractor said the buck was a 200 class...whatever that means?

    We were getting them in the river all the way until we left a 2pm on Sunday with a ton of boat traffic and high sun. Go figure
  24. Sweet Caroline
    You can troll the river all the way up to the 104 bridge. We concentrated more towards the lake.

    Seemed better in 60 FOW for us or in the river. Didn't see much at the mouth. Came in the river later in the morning and did better than I thought we would. Carbon 14 and Green Glow J-plugs best in the river and FF combos out in 60FOW. Still willing matures around.
