    Had a much better season this year than the last two. Was not able to get out as much as last year due to health problems with my fishing buddy but the times I did get out the fishing was good. Caught many more mature ( over 20 lbs ) than last year and far fewer skippys this season has boosted my optimism for the future I hope next year is at least as good as this one. Have a great holiday season everyone Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Lake Trout AKA "oil cans" grow great vegetables . That way they are not going to waste .

    NOAA is predicting light winds and waves 2 ft. or less ,but I bet you will have BIG rollers to contend with . Good Luck .

    ]Was in the ":Trench " Sunday AM . Solo . My fishing buddy has a bad back . Took 3 majors and I felt every one . Lots of boats ,but everyone was courteous and no problems . Boat launch was a ZOO .

    this is probably your problem. Do you have mer carb or Rochester ? Float heights are different for the two Also possible problem is float valve. Did you use the viton or solid when you rebuilt. There is a Mercury service bulletin regarding float adjustment on 3.0 liter engines. You can google it Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Long lines ( copper and lead core ) and heavy traffic = lost equipment . That's the equation. When the boat traffic is heavy , leave the copper in the boat. You can't expect other boats to give you that kind of clearance when it's crowded Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Just give him the international sign of discontent and continue on your way . Charter captains think they own the lake . Their rude behavior is noted by their clients and probably cost them business . That said , there are people out there that have NO clue and are a menace . So if you are courteous and respectful of other fishermen (Charters and recreational) , you have no reason to be berated by anyone .

    After many frustrating years of very wrong wind/wave forecasts I have learned that what you see is what you get. And any wave height prediction should be upgraded by the fisherman. If they say 1-3. Count in 2-4.

    see my earlier post about Lowrance/Navico re: my hook 7x. Would not give them hundreds to replace my warranty unit. The unit will not power off and drains the battery when not in use. I have a prepaid return label but have decided to just unplug the power cable and call it good till I can replace it with another brand next year. Never again a Lowrance. Ever.

    good thought. But with that forecast. The beach will be closed we had a camp on the south pond near the beach. Those waves beat you to death

    a Henchon's weekly tournament would be great. But it should have a LT category. Maybe win some money before giving the oil cans a decent burial
  13. chinook35
    even though I find LT inedible. I agree that a limit catch should be kept and disposed of any way the angler deems appropriate.

    i agree and also believe the gene pool has been compromised in the kings in Lake O the original fish from the west coast seemed to spawn at 4 years whereas the fish we are catching now tend to spawn at 3 years a year difference makes a big difference in size I have been chasing kings since the late seventies. I've seen boom and bust. But what I am hearing and reading is very troublesome to me. I think I am glad my fishing days are winding down. This fishery is going downhill

    I use a green one on my starboard dipsy and a red one on the port dipsy. That way I don't have to look at the dipsy in the dark and I don't have them running under the boat. Lol

    Lmao. U traded years of frustration on Onieda for years of frustration on Ontario. Kidding aside . Welcome and best of luck . I've caught a ton of walleye drifting a worm harness over pancake shoal .

    Thumbs up on the nailers got a whole box of them . Been using them for years

    Things are changing for sure lakers all through the temp range. No longer bottom oriented temp at 90 where it hit was 50. The king stocking needs to increase or it will be a lake trout fishery in a few years

    The east wind pushes the warm surface water out. Something has to replace it. Cold water from the deep surges in. I have experienced this first hand at camp on sandy pond. Swim in the lake one afternoon and its 75 degree bath water. Next morning run down and jump on and it's 53 degree ice water. Trust me. That wakes u up That is some of the reason for the strong subsurface currents

    I don't care for or fish for lakers . This one hit cut bait down 90 over 150 . I put it back and it swam down out of sight . I couldn't weigh it because I robbed the battery out of my scale for the temp probe . But it was well over 20 lbs. We also caught 2 Kings over 20 and 2 skippys . Kept one 5 lb for the grill . All others released

    Best to give Oswego a big pass while harbor fest is ongoing . 3 hours to launch and another 3 hours to pick up .Then an hour or so to get out of town .
  24. chinook35
    Was sitting here watching the news and they had a preview of Oswego harbor fest. Starts tomorrow. Might think about another venue for the next 4 or 5 days

    Make sure you know the Canadian rules and regulations when I went through CG course they had a lot of heads up to go over. A 12 gauge flare gun is legal in the US. But is illegal and considered a weapon in Canada. Also. No ports potties. All marine heads must be sealed with no possible overboard discharge while in Canads. And on and on. Check with CG before you make your trip
