Salmon numbers are down, and so are the steelhead, for what ever reasons we all think or know. Bottom line is the state works for US. We need to stand up and be a serious voice to whomever and let them know we need more fish, period. The bait is there and we all know it. That is always there biggest concern, and ours as well. With all of the crazy weather patterns over the years be it spring summer or winter the bait is STILL there in more numbers i can EVER remember. A good lobbyist is probably all it will take besides money, which will be well worth it in the future. Think about it.

Once again, thanks everybody. Awesome views and replies.

Thanks again people.

Thanks guys, it measured 41" long and the girth i do not know. I would guess at 28". Paul came and did his thing and i got ready for the next trip. It's cool to get a oddity like this fish verses a salmon of this size. What i like is that we all fish there from time to time and then something like this is still lurking around. You just never know when that rod goes off. By the way the salmon are starting to show up in the 100 to 150ft range along the shore, finally. Mobil was getting to be my best friend. What i would like to know is who doe's the replica mounts that is good?

Here's the story; We left the dock with a se wind of 25mph. These guy's were newbie's the big O so i thought i would warm them up with some laker bites. I started out in 160 with the nose into the wind. The lakers were chewing nicely and we just beached one when the other rigger goes off. Neil says to me the line is going out, and i say you have a good one he will give it up eventually. I un hook the other fish and ask neil are you gaining line yet? He says no. all nervous. I look at the reel and figure we have a salmon on the peanut. I have caught a hand full of them on this lure over the years. I fire up the other motor and maintain my position with a little reverse. The fish gets close and i have my rubber net like a dummy, seeing it's a big laker i scoop and it took all i could do to fit the fish in the net, then not to bend the handle. That bag on the net stretched about 3 ft like i never seen it. I thought it was around 25ish. All the big eye's of amazement were priceless. When we got back to the dock the more i looked at it the bigger it got hanging on the rack. The scale came out and i just about **** when i looked at it. I told him if you didn't mount his fish i am going too. Paul Adams is now mounting his fish for him.

I had a morning trip with a new group of guys from pennsylvania who have never fished lake ontario before. The third fish of the early morning bite was a 35lb lake trout. This was by far the largest laker i have seen or caught in my 38yrs of fishing the big pond. He came out of 145ft of water off of braddocks. I will get a picture on soon as i get a chance.

Nice kevin and crew, love those DEAD lampreys.

I would take a sub troll over a x4 any day. Analog over digital.

Scratch the sensor behind the speed wheel. That sensor turns the unit on. Scratch with a small screwdriver.

I will take it. Call me at 585-750-3164

I am already a member, I will have to inquire. You might have to be a 10yr plus vet. Good laughing. I will be out Friday.

Good job team unreel. I never saw that hat kevin, cute, i would have busted stones if i did. It was nice to see a few of the jumbos around. I would like to see more of the 1 yr olds for our future. 14.12 was our best. Yes there is debris big time. I had 3 logs scrape my hull and a huge branch stuck on my rudder when i tried to take off. I emptied my boards of crap twice as well.
