Wow, I had no clue about that fishery. I know about the walleye but not kings. Was this a move to reduce bait levels?

Great layout/design!

Wind forecast wrong again today. 2-4’ tight together Lake Erie waves. Nice night to be out otherwise

Don’t be surprised if Hochul loses the election.

HB2 you still haven’t figured out what this thread is about. I would be willing to guess that the amount of people on this forum that voted for Hochul or any of the progressives in NYC, could be counted on one hand.

In case Mike Lee wants to continue the bullshat narrative that they want to sell BLM land to help solve the affordable housing problem, you just have to see how he votes on bills to see his true colors. https://time.com/article/2026/06/23/housing-bill-congress-senators-voted-against/

Nice ! Hopefully, you are enjoying your new rig.

All ports have come on line with walleyes. Cleaning tables full. From Buffalo along the Canadian line all the way to Barcelona, fish have shown in big numbers. Not many reports due to Southtowns Derby.

Sounds like a good Dad-day!

Battled the waves this morning but enjoyed a wicked bite. Same pattern -contour trolling with sticks out of the Catt

Got a report from a buddy out today that limited out in short order between the Catt and Dunkirk in 30-40’. With the winds coming the next few days, it will be on like Donkey Kong. Get ‘em.

Got out last night for a few hours with a slight break in the wind window and continued where we left off in the morning with a different boat mate in need of fillets. The water was a little stained so gold pattern bandits with orange accents were the hot baits. A couple of fish had mud in their fillets which tells me they came in from the west end of the lake. It looks like the first batch of Ohio fish are arriving.

Great walleye chew this morning for two hours out of the Catt before getting blown off the lake. Sticks off boards -same pattern. Had five on at once with the final sixth rod go while clearing the fifth fish from the net. Standard five sheep, five bass, a perch and lost a tail walking brown trout mixed in with the chaos.

The thread is about forces in government attempting to pass legislation that will negatively affect our outdoor experiences. Your take on the cleanliness of a pool of water is useless.

Last I checked there are Democrats on the hill contributing to the crap flowing downstream. I am a registered Independent and/or an equal opportunity whiner. I make fun of both sides when needed.

👍

I used to catch walleye in Nipising with those type of tags. A ten year old fish should be quite large by now so I wonder if it is a Canadian tag?

I bleed via gilling then remove lateral line red meat on all my fish. Not sure if it was a silver bass or white bass (probably doesn’t matter). White perch out of brackish water are delicious. They eat shrimp.

BTW, for inquiring minds, I kept a large silver bass this weekend and ate it next to walleye and could not tell the difference. Tastes exactly the same.
