Got them into some bass today. Here is the total catch. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Not bad for Henry's first walleye. My friend Gabe brought his son don for an evening fish. He did in fact reel it in with some help on the rod. His dad and I ended up with 6 and lost a couple more. May have beaten his dad's personal best. Try to catch him a bass tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Talked to Steve LaPan at Cape Vincent fisheries research. He said they would be netting next week and keep an eye out for similar fish. He told me to keep the frozen fish just in case they wanted to look at it but likely wouldn't think it is an issue in a single fish. He also said if anyone catches another similar fish to put it on ice and call him. Evidently bacteria and some virus can't be detected in frozen fish. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Wow I never heard of this fish muscle parasite but after some research I dug up the fish and rinsed off the dirt and put it in the freezer. I'll be contacting Cape Vincent fishery research center and see if they are interested in looking at it. Sure hope it's not this. Thanks for your insite BSmaster!

Caught a couple this morning on the SLR but had to really work for them. When I went to fillet them I notice the the larger one (around 24") was very thin and loins were actually sunken in. The stomach didn't appear to have any obstruction and it had a layer of fat inside. Internal organs appeared normal but there was virtually little meat on the fish. Not sure how well it shows in the photo. Any ideas? Decided to burry it in the garden as there was very little white meat after I attempted to fillet it and it looked anorexic.

Last night they were much less of an issue. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Took the grandkids of our friends for a boat ride and quick fishing outing this afternoon. It was their first time in a boat and we were able to get them a few fish and a chance to drive the boat. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I also agree with Iron man. That's why I don't post as much as I use to. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I ran 30 lb mono on rigger and it wasn't too bad. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Fleas have been more prevalent on the SLR over the last several years. Never saw them till fairly recently. This year is the worst I've experienced. Really an issue when using braid trolling. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fishing has been challenging with the high water. Current is super strong which evidently changes location of fish, perhaps lure presentation and boat control.Still picking fish up here and there but not with any degree of consistency and no big numbers. On the other hand I've only been skunked once so far. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Needed a fish fix so took a quick solo trip this morning. Grandsons were very interested in my catch when I returned. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Had a nice morning on the river. Some quality fish and we released about the same number. Deep water had fish in some different locations but once we found them it was good. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thought someone would call me out. The two biggest on top right are bluegills, the rest are pumpkinseeds. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I haven't fished the Canadian side in that area but they catch them at Chippewa Point and I've caught them just up river from there on the US side near the channel. LllI'm sure they are present throughout the river. As EsoxAC3 said lots of ways to catch them but finding them, controlling the boat in the current and fishing at night are all keys. I'd concentrate on 25-50 fow on shelfs along drop offs with current. Water around Grenadier isn't as deep and has less current than areas I tend to fish. I like to troll so I can cover more water and hit more spots to locate active fish. I generally am fishing close to the US shipping channel. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

We saw them the other night but fortunately they didn't check us. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
