    How are you liking the new boat?

    It won’t last long. Maybe another two weeks of heavy load. The Niagara flow will have less so I tend to fish more west when the fleas get bad. You can splice in 100’ of 40 lb mono to help rigger rods and do what guys on the East end do - use more junk lines

    The one and only time I fished Cayuga I caught some silver fish on a Z-Dodger (alderton -type) with a trailing small spoon ( 3.5’ leader).

    The “lava lamp effect”

    200,000 stocked has been and continues to be a paltry amount that will continue to yield a run of maybe a few hundred fish. A nothingburger. IMO at this point the only semi-consistent “run” has been on the Salmon River. All plants should go in the Salmon if the fisheries managers want to create something. Having fishermen targeting Atlantics in skinny water like Iron-creek does not make conservation sense. Oak Orchard has too much warm frog water for spawning success. If you are going to do it right, build another building at Altmar and use some river water mixed with well water for imprinting and then stock them at the mouth.

    So when winter comes and the alewives go to the bottom in 400’ stripers would probably starve. They might live on the abundance of trash fish in the lower Niagara but I wouldn’t put money on it. For awhile I thought the DEC stocked hybrids in the Niagara. They were a ton of fun but that was a different time when emeralds teemed in the river. They may have also been giant white bass (three pounds) …too young during the 80’s to know the difference.

    It would appear the weights for kings is lagging in the LOC and Ontario derbies this year. Personally, I can’t buy a fish over 21 lbs. It seems like the three year olds are of the short but stocky body type this year.

    With the restrictions placed on the king fishery, the West Coast should be bumped down to #2 IMO. Also, ask an Alaskan fisherman how many times they caught 20 kings in an outing. The gap may be further than you think.

    Offshore steel and kings are usually in the same area.

    After the NE winds Saturday, she rolled again. I can’t believe we are dealing with rollovers in July. The inside water was frigid and supper chalky today. Best water was offshore. We found kings of all year classes and steelhead in good numbers. Thermocline was only down 45’

    I wonder if that Sturgeon died from temp shock
  12. Gill-T
    Did the water roll by you? The NE winds Saturday made it frigid inside in Niagara County. Had to fish over 500’ today.

    For god’s sake you all need to drop the Striper talk. It is a warm water species that maybe would run the Niagara but nowhere else. We have the greatest king fishery in the world in our back yard and people want to talk Atlantics and Stripers…..🤔. I don’t get it.

    Wow! That meat looks nuclear ☢️

    It affects reproduction.

    Oh, on second look I see the square tail.

    Nice Atlantic!
  21. Gill-T
    Those are fatties! Look like kings from the 80’s.

    Ding ding ding ding 🛎

    As long as Lake Ontario is heavy with alewives, thiaminase will limit Atlantic reproduction to near zero. Reduce king stocking increases alewives. You want more Atlantics? Stock more kings.
  24. Gill-T
    I looked at the proposal and it doesn’t look like numbers of Atlantic stocked are any different than what they have been stocking.
  25. Gill-T
    From now until 8/14, EVERYONE on this board needs to comment on the DEC site. Reviewing the document, however, It looks like Atlantic stocking will be the same as it has been.
