    Hey Nick I can see white caps crashing over pier. You should rename the Friday event to "big-wave Friday". How big is the surf?

    Drove my boat 2.5 hrs down the road past countless marina services to Hank in Port Bay. ðŸ‘

    To your point Jerry, everything I have heard from LePan at the state-of-lake meetings is that funding is a non-issue for stocking program.

    Yep, went to school in Michigan. The stamp was an easy non-issue that is easy to enforce similar to a duck stamp. If there is a will there is a way.

    Jerry, who shot down the salmon stamp idea? If it was government agencies and biologists it would sure indicate that the powers in control are anti-Pacifics. Not liking the tone of this discussion. Some people need to get their heads out of their arses. Looks like time to organize boys.

    Are you trolling with a kicker or main engine? If you are using a kicker you maybe experiencing low voltage from all the accessories drawing from the batteries.

    Jerry it is not that I "don't care" about the new fertilizer laws enacted but rather I believe they will have little effect as they are not enforcible. There will not be any "fertilizer police" hiding in the bushes hoping to catch a farmers fertilizing before a rain event.

    Are we going to see a little dip in the adult alewife population within the next two years? Probably. Was there too much bait prior to the '13 + '14 winters? Yep. Did we have a mild winter? Yep. Are the fish healthy looking? Yep. To me it is a wash. If anything we needed a reduction in alewives from 2012 levels to get things back in balance. The lake has not lost it's fertility and won't any time soon......I don't care what regulations they enacted on farmers in Ohio. It is a wash. Keep current stocking levels the same and REDUCE Lake Trout stocking numbers. The goal of the Lake Trout restoration project was to have a naturally reproducing population. This has already been proven on the Niagara spawners. A decision needs to be made to see if the species will make it on it's own. If PERMENANT conditions such as pollution or gobies eating eggs or thiaminase toxicity are not allowing natural reproduction then why keep cramming long-lived chemically laden fish down our throats for public consumption?.........the problem will always persist, stop the madness. You need money DEC for King stocking programs?....put out a Great Lakes $10.00 stamp requirement for us fishermen and I will gladly pay it!

    You are asking for trouble leaving a fiberglass boat in the water without a barrier coat. Fiberglass can absorb water and cause blistering. Since the bottom of the boat is pristine, now is the best time to bottom coat. Go to Jamestowndistributors.com for their tutorials on how to do it.

    They come in from Huron. The only viable population of Pinks breed in Sault Ste. Marie. Doesn't take much to have them flushed into Erie. Cohos are stockers from Huron or Michigan. I have hooked into some Kings on the Catt. All these cases are rare on Erie so you could not call it a "fishery". http://www.landbigfish.com/articles/default.cfm?ID=373

    PM Vince "Thrillseeker" as he is an Okuma pro staff and might have what you need

    If you don't have a temp and speed unit, you may not have had your speed right. Fish have seen lures this late in the game and many have experience getting stuck so consider the real thing i.e. Meat to sweeten the pot

    No fillets are worth giving up screaming drags for!

    Good....... I was getting worried you had lost your way!

    They will school by age class mostly. You will see a small percentage of two year olds in the mix and even an odd "Jack" male one year old but the majority of the run is comprised of three year olds. The immature salmon stay offshore

    If you are targeting panfish remember panfish will rise to a bait but gobies will not leave the bottom. If you are getting robbed by gobies try slip bobber rigging off the bottom

    What was in its stomach?
  21. Gill-T
    We find quagga mussels in perch bellies on Erie. Opportunist feeding. Roots out the gobies too.

    Ya but you will come home tired with a smile on your face, a wad of cash, and smelling like fish. She might be a little suspicious.

    Chrome edge double-crush glow if I had to choose one

    Nice to see you got the speed right. I see so many of these underwater video footages of spoons spinning like a top. Notthport makes a good blank with the toughest paint jobs. Really interesting to see orange showing up!

    They will move East. We do have a little staging activity off the Oak, Olcott and the Niagara but 90% head back to the water of their origins ....the Salmon River.
