    Good for them.

    My purpose for asking these questions is mostly to create a discussion that hopefully will evolve into finding the right questions to ask. It is not to create bureaucratic efforts to out smart each other from behind a screen. Good things were said here. The effect that the Canal has on Sandy , the canal water being very warm, The possibility of cooling the water supply. (I had never even thought of that beyond fantasy). The success of Canadian natural reproduction, ( What can we do to help that even more) My own new idea of possibly introducing sterile male lamprey thereby decreasing lamprey reproduction. These discussions often repeat old thoughts and ideas, but also new ones that may lead to new solutions. Right now in some universities there is research going on that is looking for answers to these questions and these threads that we create are probably gobbled up by AI units and made available. This helps researchers in finding ideas that may lead to solutions that are way beyond my pay grade. We all have ideas about what we want to happen and tickling our imagination and putting it in a thread adds to finding solutions.

    Just imagine, . There are laboratory introduced strains of sterile male mosquitos that out compete regular male mosquitos, Why not introduce sterile male lamprey that out compete the natural lamprey male? Or Introduce some cisco genes into alewives causing the alewive population to be carrying more thiamine. In other words, instead of trying to solve problems, removing problems, The technology required to do this , is probably at least partly available stored in bits and pieces in different laboratories. With a thorough AI assisted search a lot has become possible that we could not even dream about three years ago. Eliminating causes in always cheaper than forever controlling damage. If Gator had the right tools to play with this he would probably create 50 pound kings just because it's fun

    What would happen if a high thiamine food is introduced into the food supply (genetically modified alewives)? I would not be surprised if with all the gene splicing and some cross referencing with the help of AI there are options like that, that are readily available, but never considered.

    The amount of ice becomes less and less the higher upstream you go and as trees cover more of a canopy over the feeder creeks, they lower the water temperature, as some fall into those feeder creeks they will create currents, holes and water retention, which can change the character of the creek. Add to that a few deep dug swim holes and it may become more hospitable to natural reproduction. When you make the round holes a bit more square and round out the square pegs a bit they will fit better

    Left Frank's around 7.30 in the AM and set up in 45 feet of water, just to see what's there. The party started almost instantly with a bait ball that was several hundred feet long. I snagged 5 mooneyes on the spoons and they were all about the same size or bigger than the magnums. Moving farther out, real marks started filling the screen at around 85 feet until about 130 where they thinned out. On the surface there was this pattern of flat water lines between larger patches of fairly wavy water. Moving into one of those patches of water, the salmon started the party with a double both over 20 pounds and from there on, for almost 5 hours it was hit after hit with most well over 20 pounds, but only as long as we were in that specific patch, the edges of which were clearly marked by cross currents and temperature rises and falls. The lures of the day were Magnum Ice frog and Chicken wing each with gold colored backing. After having some pop off I set the releases on the blacks a bit tighter which solved that problem. Their jaws are getting harder so we had to set the hooks harder We boated and released 18 fish. The change has obviously started. The fish are darker and the jaws are looking different. The interesting thing for me was that there was only one obvious 2 year old 10 pounder, all the rest were big and there was not even one with lamprey marks. They say that only one in seven fish survives a lamprey attack and the lack of lamprey marks makes me think that there is a correlation between the the lack of lamprey marks and the fish being so plentiful this year. DEC please keep on doing your thing against the those snotty sucker eels. All in all a great day on the water with lots of laughter and joking around with my son who was very happy to be away for a day from a very demanding job.

    Would a tree planting project along the creek be feasible? Come to think of it.., I would volunteer my time to do some trudging through the mud and plant trees along the creek. Not only do the trees anchor the soil and provide shade, the leafs falling in the water provide the basic food for insects like may flies and such at the bottom of the food pyramid, so planting trees really does a lot more than just give shade. The more trees the more bugs for the fish to eat. Heck planting trees may even bring stream fishermen and lake fishermen together in a joint project. Schreckstoff chime in please.

    How about we work on what unites us.

    There is change in the air. New dietary advice is at 4 meals a month for salmon out of Lake Ontario. The clean water act has quietly done its thing for over fifty years. Maybe the time has come to start pushing for Creek rehabilitation along the southern shores of Lake Ontario. So we can come up to the same quality of creek management that exists on the northern shores of the lake. In the upper Irondequoit Creek there already is natural reproduction of brown trout ( this has been known to dedicated fly fisherman for a few years now). I would like to see a big beautiful Lake Ontario restoration bill so the improvement that has started can be continued, so we have something to give to our children. If any of you ever go to events where politicians are trying to promote themselves, ask them what they intent to do for the lake.

    I'm just curious. Are there any potential spawning beds in Sandy Creek? Does anybody ever notice salmon swimming upstream in the creek or dead salmon in the reeds ?
  11. rolmops
    Usually east of Sandy in the 250 foot range toward Braddocks Bay is where you will catch up with them as that seems to be where a bunch of currents join up and in my experience , that is where they like to stage before going closer to the Genny. Going into September, the cohos and the steelies like that area as well.

    Some guys from Sandy?

    Maybe he forgot to take his ritalin.....
  14. rolmops
    It was much the same in front of Sandy this morning, Although here it was active between 90 and a 130 feet out. We got 11. It feels like 2026 will be a year that will be remembered for its exceptional fishing
  15. rolmops
    Which tekota or coldwater would be the right size? Does it fit on a Penn 345? Thank you.
  16. rolmops
    Yes it is still closed, but right next to the gate, there are two lines of yellow ,flat grass about a car width apart.....

    I left the dock around 9 am and went out to 60 feet where I set up. The thermocline was quite stable around 65 down, which I had not expected after yesterday's weather. The marks and the bait was all around 50 to 80 foot down and the fish were active between 70 foot to 120 foot They did not want meat or flasher flies, but they did go after the spoons. Ice frog magnum, bloody nose magnum and blue dolphin all got hit. A few 20 plus pounder kings, a 16 pound steely and a 10 pound atlantic . So I bagged one big king, the Atlantic and the steelie. The rest went back . Amazingly the big kings, although they fought very hard all swam away and down after they were released. Maybe that is because I removed the barbs from the hooks. In the end between 9.30 am and 1pm I boarded 5 kings (4 went back in the water) 1 nice atlantic and this huge steelhead. 3 hits with nobody home and 3 got away , 2 of which were because of doubles and the barbless hooks. The extra fun for me, was that I did most of it on a fifteen pound line on my new coldwater okuma, which I had never used before. (It was supposed to be for browns) All in al , a great time.

    I hope , you guys were not talking too loud.

    Maybe you switched the position of the sharks or you accidentally bent something on one of them. Another solution would be getting rid of the sharks (I hate them) and switch to torpedos

    So the DEC owned launch on Sandy Creek was closed due to high water. Is there anyone in the DEC structure who thought about, instead of closing the launch, just temporarily putting some boards on the submerged parts , thereby making the launch usable and relatively safe (as safe as it would be with lower water levels)? You see, the people who use this launch are taxpayers. In other words, the people who help pay for your salary. Who are all co-owners of this park. In short,your employers. So maybe instead of denying these people the use of their communal property, why don't you arrange a temporary solution so the owners of this launch can use their communal property? This message has been forwarder to the DEC by e-mail. I will publish the DEC reaction, if any , on this thread

    I am interested in buying, but I would like to know how many herring strips I get for $211 and how long they will last in the freezer

      Hello rolmops,

      We recommend that customers buy from the shops we have listed or from one that is nearby. However, if that's not possible, each pack contains six strips, and you receive 12 packs per cooler box along with coolant, plus shipping fees. Our primary role is as a product manufacturer and wholesale distributor. This is the retail pricing breakdown for online purchases. Which port do you fish from?

      Sincerely, 

      Walter Thompson

      I apologize for not answering your question about how long they can be stored in a freezer. They are vacuum sealed and should last for at least a year in the freezer, and I can say that with confidence. I plan to share some information related to your inquiry about freezing soon. I'll keep you updated when I do. I think you'll find the information quite interesting regarding this topic.

      Sincerely

      Rolmob,

      I've shared some extra details regarding the refrigeration and freezing of our Familiar Bite Herring Strips that you might find interesting.

       

      Familiar Bite Herring Strip pre-fishing advice. We suggest refrigerating our Premium cut-baits for up to 5 days prior to use. This process enhances the brine's effectiveness in firming the baits. For long-term storage, freeze the baits, and for short-term use, keep them refrigerated.

      "Let the Good Times Roll"

      Get the "Big One" with Familiar Bite...

      Sincerely,

      Walter Thompson

    Glad to hear that you enjoyed and came back in without any problems. I planned to go out as well , but seeing the weather report I got cold feet.
  24. rolmops
    This morning shortly before sunrise a boat was launched from the Sandy Creek public launch. So is it really closed or is it closed unless you know how to open the gate?

    Somebody in the DEC might just have read this thread.
