    Great Atlantic no matter. I'm going to say 16/17 lbs I caught one back in 2010 that was 32" long with about an18" girth. It weighed 20# 6 oz

    A coho will have a white mouth and more colors of the rainbow above the lateral line. They can look like dark steelhead at times. The Atlantic is more brownish in color. Kings are dark green to black. When I caught this Atlantic I pretty much knew what it was, but another fisherman back at Wright's Landing in Oswego insisted it was a brown trout. He had a big rig all decked out and I thought well maybe he's right. It looked like he's been around awhile. I still had my doubts about it being a brown though. To be sure I wasn't losing it I went to Fat Nancy's who had a shop in town at the time. When my friend Captain Andy Bliss took one look at the fish in the well he knew right away. My first thoughts were definitely confirmed.

    True Al. The length of the mouth stops at the end of the eye while it goes beyond the eye on a brown trout.

    Interesting history of this road. I was told that it was built to accommodate trucks of WWII POW's. No mention of that here although Fort Niagara was a POW camp. The deterioration of the road is mentioned in the Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ontario_State_Parkway

    I drove that NASTY road some time ago. Incredible to think they let it deteriorate the way it has.

    Stealth without all the commotion of an all out assault. Less is more.

    You made lemonade out of the lemons. Congrats on your finish. That's not too shabby.

    I turn the bilge pump on and the FF goes off. I think they are all connected to the same fuse box. I'm going to put it on its own battery if I can't figure it out.

    Thanks. I was wondering what was up with the high water and all.

    A good day! Did you launch from Wright's. If so, how was it?
  15. shadster
    Not pretty at all
  16. shadster
    Thanks. It would not have been a problem. I expected to pay for the shipping when I asked
  17. shadster
    Could you ship it?

    It is the same here on the Delaware during the shad run in the spring. It seems if you are a white American you are going to get a citation for any abuse. If you are anything else on the long list of immigrants and non english speaking you are golden. Maybe that's the case in NY, too. sounds racist I know, but I can't explain it any other way.

    It still looks like a lot of money for the year

    That would be a Speed N Temp. A Uni Troll is a downrigger

    Here is one from 2010. 20 lbs 6 oz at the scale. Two fisherman at Wright's landing swore it was a brown trout. I knew wnen I caught it and Andy of Cold Steel confirmed it.
  24. shadster
    Thanks Gill. Hope to be putting it to use.
