At Chautauqua, in the middle of winter it can be slow for walleye. But perch my be good at Mayville. Be careful by Dewittville Bay, the creek comes out there and it may not freeze.

There is going to be an ice fishing contest February 5th at Wilson. The whole harbor. Sunrise til noon. Food afterwards. Stop at the bait shop and talk to Pete. Feather & Fur Taxidermy and Bait 3627 Wilson - Cambria Road ( Rt 425 ) Wilson, NY 14172 716-425-3018 http://www.salmonshop.net/ice-fishing.html PS. At Chautauqua lake I have done well on walleye with a jigging rap with minnow head.

Try putting in at the boat launch in the park. http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/69/details.aspx

Nice fish. A little ice in the river.

I've seen that happen when they had the straps still on.

Sometimes the fish just are not there. Time to move. On the American side, try the Devils Hole, Coast guard drift. And out in the lake by the green can. On the Canadian side there are more drifts. Pine, Jackson, back drift. It just takes time.

Grab your ankles and kiss your a$$ good bye.

Wilson has ice. Just be careful. Check this web cam. http://www.wilsonnewyork.com/webcam.htm

Fleas (There’s a way to do it other than just spray a mess) Doesn't it wash off while trolling? Got to be a better way.

Good test Tom. You should try it on some other lines. I have heard of WD 40 being used as a fish attractant. But why would anyone spray WD 40 on their lines?

That would not surprise me. That's why I was against the license increase. Because NY state politicians will squander the money. Watch and see. Bet a beer on it.

Muskybob, >If the State & Feds did some welfare & Social Security reform and cut the slackers off the rolls we wouldn't have any problems with the budget.< Please don't lump welfare & Social Security together. Medicaid and Medicare are not the same. Welfare and Medicaid are for low income (read that as non income tax payers) people. Social Security and Medicare was paid for by workers for Social Security and Medicare. Mine and your income has been taxed @ over 15%. The employee and employer paid an equal amount. Medicare---tax is equal to 2.9% (1.45% withheld from the worker and a matching 1.45% paid by the employer) FICA is 6.2% for Social Security, your employer pays an equal amount on your behalf every time you pay Social Security. This state has to cut Medicaid and Welfare. NY has the highest cost Medicaid and Welfare in the whole country. http://kliphs-underground.blogspot.com/ ... rever.html

Tim, This is just the beginning. Wait until next year. The state is in a $1 Billion hole. http://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/news ... t=My+Yahoo Andy Cuomo said he will not increase taxes,(up-state is over taxed) and he said he will not cut taxes. This state has to have a balanced budget. I just wonder what he will cut to balance the budget. Watch and see.

Happy birthday. Have a beer on me.

Maybe you should run the core off the riggers. I do it all the time.

Maybe it's the spirit of those that died on the Fitz. Any other ideas?

This is from is for Lake Huron, but we can see why the Seneca strain is stocked in lake Ontario. Lake trout from Seneca Lake, New York, were also included in the Lake Huron program in an attempt to inject sea lamprey resistant strains into the system. Unlike their Great Lakes counterparts who quickly succumbed to this parasite, lake trout in Seneca Lake have coexisted with sea lamprey for centuries. Moreover, Seneca Lake strain fish had been successfully stocked in Lake Champlain, New York in the early 1960s where they are reported to have survived and reproduced in the presence of sea lamprey. While no details were provided, New York biologists attributed their survival to the possibility that either this strain was less susceptible to attack or more resistant to sea lamprey predation. http://www.fws.gov/midwest/alpena/docum ... -cwt05.pdf Lake Trout Strain Program Genetic strains - Historically, as many as 12 sub-populations or strains of lake trout stocks may have inhabited Lake Huron, each reflecting various degrees of adaptation to their local environment. However, with the exception of two remnant stocks in Georgian Bay, these variations have been lost forever.

38.5" x 20. That is a nice fish. But a 20 inch girth seems on the light side. I caught a laker a few years ago that was 36 in long, but fatter. I thought it went 25+#. Are there different strains of laker's in Lake Ontario?
