gordy mohr

thank you very much for you help guys.

much appreciated

some of my old flashers need new glow and uv tape .

where is a good online source to buy  glow and uv tapes?

I sent email to Pro King, and indeed it is a dirty white boy.  its out of production because of tape peeling issues.  

ok thanks

I checked the pro king website and catalogue .  no luck. maybe discontinued?

those alewives look huge!

I sincerely hope the sky is not falling, looking forward to the final analysis of the bait fish trawls.   Good luck on the water boys!

a most interesting thread.

........havent checked in here for a long while, but damn, its an entertaining place!

Nice one today

lakers are not hard to catch vertical jigging when theyre in the mood. All these from Lake O,  usually fishing in 80 to 100 fow.

Ive had very limited success with vertical jigging open water. Yes, lakers will sometimes be cooperative but other than that Ive only managed 1 rainbow and 1 shaker chinook 

vertical jigging. Ive been using metal jigs. Maybe its my technique or whatever , it just hasnt paid off with any large salmon yet.

this is the most entertaining thread Ive read all month     last year I saw a post about someone cutting open a laker and pulled out about 18 plastic worms. That one must have been really hungry or really stupid

.......some guys get carried away with body piercing

ok boys, thanks, sounds encouraging!

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

well, not expecting huge, but gotta be some 30s around somewhere. Were going to start the big derby soon up here, I think its going to be an interesting year.

Just been looking through some of the catch reports and Im seeing  some nice fish silver fish. Just wondering anybody getting any Large fish, anything over 30 pounds being caught?

Seems like there used to be more larger fish in other years. Maybe theyre still coming?  Where are the 30 pounders?

Some of them have different markings and coloring, but other than that I wouldnt be able to tell. A Bio prob would know better.

from some research Ive done its seems that (depending which document Ive seen) theres at least 3 and maybe even as many as 8 different strains of lake trout being stocked into lake Ontario.

I wonder if theres any taste difference between the strains. That might be a reason some people claim to like the taste and others say its bad?

if you say so, it must be true

a friend of a friend ask me to save a couple for his smoker.

after a couple weeks , I got back a couple chunks to try.  Really awful.

I do sometimes fish with a guy who will eat anything we catch, so I dont have to release bleeders and floaters

here he is with one from last year, he love them:

but really, you guys eat browns? I dont think theyd be any better?

I read somewhere that eventually the only thing left in Lake Ontario is going to be lake trout and rocks, and that after that there will be no more rocks.

ding ding ding.........Winner "post of the year"

thanks for the chuckle

sweet. 

I might get hung for saying this,  but I wish we had those in lake O.  (ducks behind cover)
