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

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.

Three chrome Protrolls ordered

Wow! That meat looks nuclear ☢️

It affects reproduction.

Oh, on second look I see the square tail.

Nice Atlantic!

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.

I looked at the proposal and it doesn’t look like numbers of Atlantic stocked are any different than what they have been stocking.

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.

My plan B exactly. I am just trying the easy route first lol. I can get the tape from Mad River tackle. I usually shelve paint jobs for a year because of the smell they give off -especially the automotive paints. I would like to replace the one I lost this year if possible and it appears they are not making this pattern anymore.

Looking for some 8” Protroll flashers which I believe are the Icee pattern. PM me if you want to part with some. Thanks 🙏

The Canadian shore rolled cold mid-week. Cold water pushed across. I had 56 degrees only 58’ down in the mid waters. If you look at what happened to the Niagara plume from Saturday to today, you realize the lake currents were tearing stable water apart. Water on the move, fish on the move. There is a good reason why you see LOC kings entered in ports further East. At this point predicting tomorrow is impossible but hopefully light winds and the power of the Niagara stabilize things. Pic 1 is from today. Pic 2 was from yesterday

Good video on two blade single bevel broadheads

I have some Tomic 6” spoons that I run that help reduce Shaker take. I am going to break out my jplugs and Lymans next trip which should help

Wow !

Sold!
