    I would assume the miracle rod catch incident is captured on the GoPro?

    I paint my balls to make them less visible for the reason that I don't want fish checking them out. Use the White-tailed deer color principle. Dark on top, green (like the water color) on the sides and a light coating of white on the bottom. These color principals flatten the object out against the background colors and lessen the shadow under the ball. Loose the steel downrigger cable to reduce cable hum noise. Think about it .....how many of those majors staging off ports have been stuck by a hook before? I would bet the ones that got away or released have a negative experience associated with noisy cables. Add to the mix the pounding by the fleet during this time of year and you have a recipe for negative fish behavior. When team Cold Steel went to braid downrigger cable I took notice as Oswego charters pound the crap out of the same water over and over putting tremendous pressure on fish. Good enough for them......good enough for me. Nicer on the hands too. I have been using AFW green on my riggers for about 7 years and I will not go back to steel.

    The problem is the same......we can't control the idiots who dump exotics into larger bodies of water. Canada has intercepted numerous trucks crossing the border with live bigheads inside. The Asian community covets the flavor of these fish. Unfortunately, probably just a matter of time.

    What rock have you been hiding under?.......have not heard from you in awhile! Check E-Bay Cronz. Not many out there for sale that I could see. I am sure some of the Charter captains from Rochester, Sandy and the Oak probably have a bunch in their garage. If you strike out, call Dave German owner of Northport Nailer and have him paint up some of their "wild things" blanks in the color you want. They are a deep bend cup like the hooksters.

    I would agree with your assessment......he does look 30 lbs. Nice fish.

    Cmag, you may want to keep track of that storm coming across Michigan....Friday maybe a blow day.

    Apparently Olcott. Fish any port with spoons shallower than 100' FOW and you will be in the right area.

    Check your ground. Black wire from engine block to battery. Remove connection and clean. Try cheap and easy 1st. Also call Moor in Buffalo, they may have recommendations of why it is not working.

    Another pen-reared no adipose fin fish. Good to see.
  12. Gill-T
    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!

    East wind blew all night. Go West young man.

    Right....I think Nick and everyone else fishing the Derby are looking for Majors.

    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.

    Make a cheater hook!

    Paint in the offseason as it leaves a persistent smell.....or use tape and you can fish right away.
  18. Gill-T
    Yes

    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.
  20. Gill-T
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Another King with a missing gill plate! Never seen so many as this year.

    Detailed report...
