  1. You may consider some "rubber meat"......... MCRockets. There's a learning curve, and a time and a place for them, but I prefer them to real meat 80% of the time.
  2. My experience is that they work very well........ I really can't think of cons...... I've used them for ducks and pigeons, and set up a rechargable battery to use with them...... As for size, I'm not sure it matters much...... I've used a mojo dove in with duck decoys, and they really don't seem to care..... it's the flash that attracts them.....
  3. Port Colborne buoy showing 16 feet.
  4. Two man limit out of the Catt yesterday. Beautiful November day on the water......60 '.
  5. I think you can pretty much give up on Federal Agencies caring about what critters the local sportsmen want in their ecosystems. They have an agenda and your opinion isn't important........ just ask any elk hunter living in Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming what they think about the Federal wolf re-introduction programs. The Feds agenda was to reestablish a native species, regardless of the impact on game populations...... sound familiar?
  6. Chris ..... I'll take the Saltists and rods..... I'll pm with pick up details. Mike
  7. Dogfish Head 60's...... Bell's Two Hearted Ale...... and Oskar Blues G'Knight Imperial Red Ale 3 great brews
  8. Only 2 walleyes off Dunkirk today. one on a harness, one on a stinger scorpion.....maybe 20 junk fish.... bit I did mark some pretty big schools of perch between 70 and 75 fow, west of the port.
  9. Anybody make it out of Dunkirk / Catt / SP today? Headed up in the morning, and any advice would be appreciated.....
  10. The politicians with the most "at stake" might be the Senators whose districts bound the LO shoreline..... The economies of these counties are greatly enhanced by the success of anglers largely targeting kings...... District 62 Robert Ortt - Niagara / Orleans / Monroe District 56 Joe Robach - Monroe District 55 Rich Funke - Monroe District 54 Michael Nozzolio - Wayne District 48 Patty Ritchie - Cayuga / Oswego / Jefferson Give them a shout......... Perhaps an organized shout would be most effective. Organized petition?
  11. Chris .... I'll take the lead core and the divers. Please pm me for payment details.
  12. Could it be that water temps influence fish behavior and location and even which streams they are likely to run? A week ago, the lake was setting up beautifully for staging kings, and we were taking kings in 60 - 120 fow with meat rigs..... another week of W wind, and I think we'd have seen a "normal" late summer pattern, but instead the East wind blew for 2 1/2 days, and temps went to hell, and the fish scattered. As bad as the lake fishing was last year, last fall was my best season ever in the creeks for kings. I think there's a lot of "luck" and weather that goes into where the fish are.........
  13. Fished with my daughter this morning out of Dunkirk, and finished with 12 fish by 11:15. All harnesses. Divers and riggers. 70 -90 FOW. Probably 25 silver bass.......
  14. Looks like fun, and great pics..... Cheeze-its are the key!
  15. There is excellent fishing available in the lake, but there are few fishermen out on it after the 2nd or 3rd week of September..... so finding fish is up to you..... it can be hit or miss.... and because there are fewer boats out there to help if you have mechanical trouble, please be careful and pick your days wisely....
  16. killer....... how is the camera rigged to the line? lb. test? How secure are they?
  17. Good day yesterday out of SP..... 12 fish, mostly off the riggers, all on harnesses. Water temps were pretty uniform from top to bottom in 60 FOW. 71 on the surface, and 69 down 60....fire tiger hatchet blade was good, watermelon took a couple......lake was nice, bugs were troublesome at times....
  18. duk..... pretty sure that thermocline "off Buffalo" is gone.... I fished out of SP yesterday, and the 55 F water that was there a week ago was now in the mid 60's. There's still a temperature gradient from top to bottom, but the coldest water I saw yesterday was 62.... It didn't hurt the fishing though as my daughter and I boxed a limit on harnesses. 4 color, 5 color, riggers and divers all took fish......
  19. Nice article about lake Erie walleye and growth rates. Some of those 2003 fish have shown up on this forum! http://www.cleveland.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/04/lake_erie_walleye_anglers_want.html
  20. Most GPS units show the border on one of the map "screens"..... Just stay on the American side of the line, Eh?
  21. Picture 5 .... "Guns Blazin'" is great!
  22. According to the Pa fish commission, a 10 lb Lake Erie walleye is about 10 year old..... I know you can age them from growth rings on the scales.....I've just never got ahold of a scale from one that's 28 lbs...... perhaps one that's that large..... is on a different growth curve .... longer growing period, etc..... bad question.... sorry.
  23. Helpful as always Ray......
