    Ah! Of course.

    Why do I see palm trees?

    Battery always charged up. I don’t leave out riggers in rain but keep the ideas coming

    Very few and small

    These are 90% three year olds being caught IMO. They have developing gonads. With that being said, single digit percentage of kings making it to four years old off a huge class of fish means there should be historically big numbers of four year olds based on pure volume for next year

    Single digit percentage of kings make it to 4 years.

    I have been having reoccurring problems with my Cannons. Blown fuses and motherboards. I run a Big Jon on deep center rigger. It goes up and down. Never a problem. My two corner riggers are cannons. They last a year before boards need replacing. Big Jon and Cannons are wired exactly the same with an inline fuse to POS + post direct to a dedicated battery that only the riggers are hooked up to. Connections to primary battery and perko battery switch. Rigger wires are sized up two sizes so it should not be a resistance problem. See picture of the melted fuse below. It has been suggested I have a bad ground. Connections look perfect with sealed terminations. Getting ready to junk them. Any suggestions?

    Lots of skinny kings and steelhead. The same is going on with Erie walleye. Too many mouths to feed to support a trophy fishery.

    I was thinking the eddy near the Niagara red can in the fall would be fun.

    Wow that looks like fun. What is the approach? Find marks and spot lock with electric trolling motor?

    Grind bite today with those same 12-16 lb three year olds that dominate the catch. We did see a couple bait pods and basically made circles where the bait was all day. Meat rigs were the ticket. Two spoon fish and two plug fish, the rest were taken on meat. 124’-180’

    Lake Erie Bite 2024

    Boy was I wrong about the shootout weights. Less than 6 lb average again this year.

    First day back on Lake Ontario since the spring LOC (boat repairs). Hit the water at 8:45 and appeared to have missed the morning bite or fishing was slow as the lake was empty of boats after 1:00. We trolled north out to 420’ and back and never really saw anything to turn on. Zero bait, skinny fish and what appeared to be a SE down current (usually NE). Fish were scattered. Lots of steelhead everywhere we went. Most of the kings of any size were in the 135’-180’ range. Mag dipsys with meat back 240’-300’. Riggers 68’-82’ with spoons. One plug fish on slide diver. One junk line fish. I surmise the wind direction last night played a role but it seemed like the lake was settling when we quit at 4:30. Fish came in flurries. 4 or 5 fish in quick succession then nothing for an hour. Back at it in the morning
