    If I were you I would stop using them.

    Reelin for a cure event today out of olcott with the lake rolled over and East wind, I went with tried and true (the aforementioned spoon that shall remain mostly nameless) on 6 out of 7 rods I ran. Never took them off.

    You said you only ordered 6 ......

    If you want to avoid other species as "bycatch", I would suggest December offshore in the top 40'. The second place would be July off the drop on the Niagara bar with nets set at the thermocline. The third would be near the elbow in the fence on the canadian line offshore. This third location would work in September with nets set at the thermocline. If you want numbers, at night year 1 salmon will line up nose to tail at 50' off the Niagara Bar. Weird phenomenon with the 50' depth but it may represent the depth they sleep and are neutrally buoyant in their inactivity. The Huron tagging study by Bergstedt also spoke about kings sleeping at 50'.

    What is a Gary D rig?

    Ah. You stated glass factory and I was thinking glass house point of reference on Ontario.

    You can only count what you catch. Yes there are suspended alewives off the bottom during winter that will never be caught. The methodology of coming up with a “perfect” bait population number is impossible. Here is a screen shot aboard the Kaho during trawling. They have their fishfinder set in meters not feet for depth reference.

    I won’t say what it looks like you are doing in that reflection, but you clearly like that deer photo ......

    The real question is why are you fishing for lake trout??

    One thing we all can probably agree on is all stocked kings should be clipped. Don’t need to chip, just clip.

    You think anyone in fisheries will allow stocking of an invasive? Keep in mind the measurements of alewives is in the BILLIONS!!! We are not at risk for losing our bait like Huron because Ontario is a green cesspool at the end of the plumbing. The sky is not falling. Having alewives take a temporary dip is not a bad thing because it allows for competing species to rebound such as emerald shiners or walleyes.

    We have a GIANT class of three year olds that are all competing for bait. More mouths to feed = less chance to grow a gluttonous 40 lb 4 year old.

    Lost/broken sail mast?

    If they look more like a dull aluminum instead of typical shiny ones, the hook is prone to sliding off the ring.
  18. Gill-T
    Make sure you change the split rings before use.
  19. Gill-T
    No those are not them. Send them to me and I will exchange for some evil eyes

    Still using same set up with the same knots tied this spring. Yesterday someone in our group fought a 20 lb king that was hooked in a lateral fin. The battle lasted 25 minutes. Still going strong.

    If it helps we had flasher/ flys on two riggers to suck them in at 72’ and 82’, two mag slide divers with spoons out 180’-225’ out and a 200’ weighted steel with 1 ounce additional, carrying a spoon. We were just West of the power plant with line of fish we were on. Only hits were into down current trolling East.
