  1. That fish is missing it's adipose fin. What you are holding is the result of the Pen-rearing projects around the lake at different ports. Nice fat and healthy fish. You are ruined now!
  2. Right....I think Nick and everyone else fishing the Derby are looking for Majors.
  3. Unless you are off the deepwater areas near Pulaski or Oswego with the fish coming home....I don't think I would be fishing out deep right now. We are late in the game. A lot of fish are inside of 100' right now. The Kings I caught yesterday were females with color and red rub marks on their bellies. The cold water on the North Shore has pulled Canadian fish into their piers already so less fish out deep to play with. Get inside and grind the next three weeks.
  4. Paint in the offseason as it leaves a persistent smell.....or use tape and you can fish right away.
  5. Three weeks I think. I did my due diligence with making sure all the paperwork went to the right places. Also key was registering the motor as stolen with Mercury and multiple counties. When the police checked with Mercury it came back registered as stolen.
  6. Insurance company will get the motor as they paid out on the claim. I think given the dollar amount of stolen goods he probably will do jail time as felon.
  7. I received a call today from the Orleans County DA office regarding my stolen Mercury outboard. It seems the bad mojo the thief acquired when he stole from a LOU member came back to bite him in the arse. Good news is they caught the guy with other stolen items. If anyone had fishing equipment stolen recently they may want to contact the Orleans County DA. I don't have the thief's name yet but I will post it when I do. I have a smile on my face from ear to ear.
  8. Trying to figure out where I want to target kings this coming weekend and thought I would check what the Niagara flow was doing esp. with all these reports of kings still way out deep. Sure enough....even looking back to the 18th of August, the plume has been shooting out the top of the drop and heading out into the middle of the lake instead of staying along the shore....just like much of last year. I think so many are struggling to have consistent fishing in the usual staging areas in close is that much of the staging is occurring out deep. The pull to the natal waters will draw them inside but they may just be coming across the middle of the lake to Pulaski via deep water route.
  9. Another King with a missing gill plate! Never seen so many as this year.
  10. Good practice to always have two batteries on board.
  11. With any new equipment you will learn its quirks. Those large hooks you show on your graph might be the small loose bait pods that have been showing out there the past month,
  12. One problem......the weigh-in. You can't transport gobies. Instead of CR it would be a kill on site tournament..... with extreme prejudice.
  13. Your screen name suits you. You are rambling good man......go fishing.
  14. Gobies don't leave the lake floor. Salmon and trout are pelagic. I would say the goby effect on salmon and trout has been positive. The only drawback I can see is they are carriers of VHS and can pass it up the food chain. High in thiamine....good. Easy to catch by predators....good. Filled a niche left by huge decreases in shiner levels....good. Lake Erie has millions of them but walleye and perch have learned to coexist. Lake Ontario bass and walleye will "figure it out" IMO.
  15. NICE!!! You finally got dad a big one. Tell him to smile next time LOL.
  16. Love the Ospreys. Congrats. Which model and length? That boat looks perfect for lake Ontario. Plenty of room to walk a long leader dipsy fish to a waiting net.
  17. Do not run flashers with 15 fluoro unless you want to get rid of some gear. Rig up with 30 lb. This is big gear time. The fish are aggressive, they are getting their teeth and the big ones are showing up now. Salmon do not care about 30 lb test. With the green water green line is all but invisible 100' down.
