    Must be a weight to drag ratio allows for some additional sinking. I would be skeptical of much beyond an additional 20' of depth gain at traditional salmon trolling speeds

    I see that little dude in your hand and I wonder why the hell I can't catch a fish on a "dirty white boy" pattern stinger

    For sure walleyes that are neutral require a more subtle "ice fishing-like" vertical approach. Spend some time GPS marking some humps on Erie for just such an occasion. If the wind isn't blowing enough to get them active try going vertical

    If I see a ton of boats, I go the other way. Keep them all gaggled up IMO and go find quiet water

    Gordy the mature fish lived thru two bad winters which knocked their feeding metabolism down. Don't expect huge fish.

    250' and 400 are nice lengths as traditionally many fish are caught at 50' and 80' range. You could also just add torpedo weights to your leadcore rigs

    Pictures of kings this year seems to show 50/50 adipose present and/or missing.

    I would not be taking a 650' copper in 100'. Your 450' will hit bottom in 100' if you are not careful to drive straight

    It has crossed my mind

    Beyond my scope of expertise but thanks for the advise. Problem manifested after a new cap and rotor was installed. My guess is either the new parts were made in China and don't match exactly or expert tweaking is needed with a dwell meter. Not a gas issue

    Double keeled otterboats. Pull hard and can be utilized in rough water.

    Below Massena dam?

    Shutting down but you can keep it going by throttling back down

    Having trouble finding anyone willing to work on an OMC points distributor, problem solving an apparent advance timing issue that causes my engine to shut down when I approach 3000 rpm. They need to be able to work on the boat on the water under load. Thanks gentlemen.

    I know some fishermen who make fish cakes (like crab cakes) and enjoy them

    FishUSA bought GreatLakesTackle Shop which has the pre-made stealth core lengths for sale

    I would think one of those clear wiggle fin disks in front of a barrel swivel set rod-length away from the lure, would catch or redirect weeds away from your bait.

    Contact Al VanDusen on Spoonpullers he can tell you if the bonnet is happening. With the strong currents there it is here-today-gone-tomorrow there I believe

    How do you prove which shipping company is liable? Perhaps an imposed international tarif to compensate states for programs to combat invasive species.

    I don't think it is that simple that the Feds want lakers. They want Atlantics and yet we stock very little on our side. I think it may speak to a bigger issue of getting federal dollars to run our hatchery programs that stock in all our waterways. If NY wanted to reduce laker stocking and favor kings they could but federal dollars would be left on the table. I am sure all lake trout stocked in NY benefit from federal funds so not just a Lake Ontario issue. One issue is they are bound by making decisions based on the scientific data they collect. There is no foresight as to looking at future weather patterns. With alewife survival in Lake Ontario water temps are one of the biggest determiner of survival and size of the hatch of YOY. For every sixteen degrees in water temp the productivity of the plankton community doubles. I would like to see the DEC use weather projections as part of the formula determining stocking numbers.

    Throw out some jointed J-13 firetiger Rapalas on leadcore. Sutton spoons will troll down to slow speeds also.

    We are not going to have an alewife deficiency. We are more likely in the coming years to go back to too many alewives
