  1. I took a looksee out of the Catt today at noonish. Checked out some rocky structures that hold fish and found them vacant. No bites. No marks on the graph. I think the ice this year has us behind last year. Plenty of fish being caught at night off Brocton and Evan’s at night. Plenty of walleye still in the upper Niagara. There were two trailers in the parking lot and did not see the perchers on their usual spots. Anyone find a daytime bite ?
  2. I wanted to get out and wet a line before the rain came this morning. Early rise but the bass were snapping ahead of the front. Ten bass on a jerkbait. Half largemouth and half smallmouth.

  3. Once again the power of LOU on display!
  4. They have been around awhile. I get the sense it is run as a side job of a charter captain in Ohio. Probably too tired to keep up the side business as it should.
  5. While milking 2 year olds at the hatchery
  6. And yet king size has diminished.
  7. Ah. Nothing wrong with preserving them and using for kings
  8. And if they are dying from VHS you could spread it to another body of water. Leave’em be.
  9. And yet look at the Walleye Slam and the Fall Brawl in Ohio. Tons of contestants. Low registration fee. Huge payouts. I think a lot of out of staters are getting their derby fix on Lake Erie.

  11. Speaking of changes during the derby, did anyone live through the gnat swarms Saturday?? It was hard to breathe.
  12. July/August
  13. I can confirm the amount of two year olds in the system right now is both disturbing from a healthy food chain perspective, and fun as hell. Six hours of trolling and over 30 kings yesterday.
  14. No problems seen with fish off Buffalo. First two casts this morning in Small Boat Harbor
  15. I think the answer is a little deeper. In today’s world of instant gratification, I question if people have the patience, time, knowledge or money to maintain a trolling rig. Easier to grab a charter. I question my sanity every year dealing with boat maintenance.
  16. Dr Weidel confirmed that most of the bigger alewife hauls are coming from the East end and numbers are down slightly most likely from the die off.
  17. Hello folks. I am looking to buy size 3 rattling J-plugs in white color. If you have any gathering dust that you don’t mind parting with I will buy them from you. I don’t need the hook harness, just the bait. Thanks 🙏
  18. I fished the bar Friday and Olcott today. There is a huge population of two year old kings out there right now. For you fishermen that like to keep your catch, it is a great time to get out there. If you want cohos, there are a bunch on the bar feeding on a few schools of large Emerald Shiners.
  19. I think the lake is still getting back to normal from the hurricane force winds W/SW winds we had in the fall and early winter. I noticed the center of warm water over the lake had shifted from the normal winter offshore areas of Niagara County to the deep basin off Sodus. Two weeks ago there was a muddy debris field off Olcott which I typically don’t encounter out front. Usually the stained debris field sets up off Somerset. Currents are off IMO. Going to be a weird year.
  20. The launch work included packing mud/gravel in the concrete pad seams. Not sure the travel over the railroad tracks will be any less bumpy. At some point someone will lose their boat off their hitch going over the tracks. There is an emergency alternative route that comes over from neighboring Hanover Bay but I have never taken it as alternative
  21. Do you guys think those kings caught represent this year’s two year olds?
