    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    It will be a fun fight when someone hooks into one of those tag harnesses hanging off a fish!

    Come up

    My '88 trophy does the same. You have possible leak points from the windshield gaskets going bad. Fish box lids will leak water into the fish boxes. I too scratch my head at "where does the water come from" when I take her out on the water as all the scuppers have zero connection to the bilge area. The exhaust holes in the bellows might be a source. In the end if your bilge pumps are working it doesn't really matter as there is always going to be water in there.

    How big is your boat? Windy today and tomorrow so fish are being reshuffled

    You can pry my riggers from my dead crusty hand! Just because you aren't catching them on the riggers, you are helping to line up the fish behind your boat for the junk lines to get them bringing up the rear.

    Same fish, they just run in summer
