Those are some nice brownies!!!  Way to go Capt!!!

Make The Turn Charters (Capt. Lucas Falkner) turned me on to Kischel's scent.  There's been days when artificial bait in the meat heads works better and it has to have the Kischel's on it.  I put the Kischels directly into the bait head before toothpicking the bait in place exactly as Captain Lucas taught me.  That stuff has turned otherwise unproductive days into awesome days.

Mid day, high sun means dropping a side downrigger deeeeeeep (over 100 foot down) with the artificial meat  MC Rocket in glow inside a Minion Carbon 14 meat rig with a large Minion Glow white paddle.  Don't forget the Kischels.  This combo has taken some big shouldered kings for the Bullseye!  These kings couldn't resist the Minion combo listed above.  One last thing!  Forget the temperature down there deep, there are monsters that lurk in the ice water down below the smaller fish up higher.  I don't even bother looking at the temp when dropping that Minion down into the darkness.  They just fire all the time.

Look up Minion right here on LOU.  He has everything you need and it's right here in the Rochester area.  Nothing beats his rigs.  They are always in the spread.

Awesome KilliansRed!!!!  

I bet a two face would work on him.........

X2 with Captain Rich.   I stripped off some of my normal duty 25 lb test Bull Buster and ran 225' of 50 lb Ande.  Just enough really to cover the max you are going to be fishing vertical.  Little to no fleas.  Good luck

Tonight, Thursday 6/28/18 is a great opportunity to come sign up for both the Friday event with Captain Lucas Falkner and the Saturday event with Captain Matt French!  We will be at the event's weigh-in which is Shumway Marina at 40 Marina Drive, Rochester NY 14617.  After you pull onto Marina Drive, take a right at the big white light beacon with a flashing green light on the top toward Shumway Marina.

If you can't fish the event, bring your family down on Saturday afternoon for the weigh-in which starts at 2 p.m.  There will be a food truck and beer truck.  A d.j. will be spinning music too!   

Most importantly though, this event is a charity for "Dream Factory".  Those kids need us!!!!  Stop down and throw a few bucks in the jar for Dream Factory!  

awesome job

Awesome!!! Next year let's try to get double the kids.  That was a lot of fun!  Liam is a fish magnet!

I will second that Minion.  Minion's Night Fury, Flobot and Uv Ghost meat rigs narrow it down for me.  The Bullseye has TOO much tackle on it.  I don't like messing around with tuning the heads either.  Minion Meat Rigs run right out of the pack.

When it comes to meat these 3 are easy choices.  If I didn't get bit on them, they don't want meat. Period.

First Choice: Night Fury- It is on a paddle attached to a dispy every trip, any time of day.

2nd Choice: UV Ghost- this will start the day and usually matches Night Fury's percentage but may be substituted for Flobot

3rd choice: Flobot- if UV ghost won't go, run the Flo'

Terrific!!!

Awesome!!!!  I hope to see the kids at the fishing derby this Saturday 5/19/18  a.m. from 7 to 10 a.m. at Summerville!  Some big carp, cats and sheepheads being caught.  It's free and the kids can win fishing gear from Okuma and FishUSA.  

Beautiful fish and great job!!

I broke my center pin rod last weekend.  I have a pair of Penn Fathom Master manual downriggers to trade for a Pin Rod.  

I'd sell the pair for $150.

I will also trade for a center pin rod or 11' to 12' noodle rod n reel

Maybe a fly rod and reel trade?

  I bought this for steelie and king fishing the rivers.  It's barely used and loaded with Pline floating line.  

I'm looking for $175  Larry

Those are some fine looking fish and great job!  Here is a rising fishing all star!

Since I was a kid, I've considered him a legend.  I saw him in his boat at the marina a couple years ago and told him how much I admire him.  He said, "Welcome aboard".  He is such a great guy!  

The coho, walleye and muskie were cross bred in the early 90's. What you've got there is a Cowalski

I just left the Genesee Charter Boat Association's monthly meeting.  There's a few things that I left with from that meeting; the bait trawls have been conducted for many years on Lake Ontario to provide data.......around 30 years. The interesting thing though, this 30 years of data comes from the south shore of Lake Ontario and thus is 1/2 of the lake.  Only in the last two years has data been collected from the north shore.  These two years of data show nets teeming with bait on the north shore.

I'm with Brian on giving us back some fish.  Jerry's right, a 4 to 5 % increase won't do much at all but I believe it would be a sign of working together.

I thought we were working together when the Genesee Charter Boat Association met with folks who are major players in the stocking decisions.   Many captains are left with a bad taste in their mouths with  the reduction in stocking, the failed pen (which was a result of miscommunication among hatchery folks) rearing, and baby salmon washing up onto the shore out west, we have closer to a 40% reduction in 2017.  For every 1 fish we were SUPPOSED to put into a pen, we gave up 2 direct stocked fish.  We got crushed this year!  

I want to know the science behind continuing the reduction of 20% and still maintaining a healthy predator/prey relationship.  It does not seem balanced.

I have learned a ton from Anthony on every trip!  Here's to a great fisherman and a nice guy!
