Regulation change to steelhead limit on Lake Ontario
john1947 replied to reelxite's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I have seen people catch many steelhead and dump them back into the creek without helping the fish recover.What kind of regulation might correct this practice.maybe it would be better to keep what we catch regardless size and stop at limit -
Best Autopilot

I've used a sitex brand .It is a electric drive unit that attaches to the steering cable.So far it has worked well over 7 seasons.I don't have a trolling motor on my boat. -

Oct 5 weekend trolling
john1947 replied to stoneam2006's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
your lucky you got a steelie.Up here when the wind blows east or ne as hard it did today few fish are caught.I did see some nice fish last week in 40 ft but everything has changed since.I did great in the harbor tossing a glow green cleo friday but skunk today Sunday is supposed to be windy offshore so beware of deep water.I would concentrate around the piers at sodus as its a good spot for late kings and browns.The green cleo also took a nice 25 lb off my dock last week,saw another king taken in the harbor yesterday Good luck -

The fish on the first cast Came out of the water twenty yards What a pic Then it was one good fight till the hen wore out If the water was colder it's very hard to hold the fish. Many times they head for the lake The flesh was good Smoked for sure I'm only fishing for a few three catch and release till water cools for better survival -

Hughes 8/18
john1947 replied to Frogger's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Sunday was slower for us compared to friday.We did boat three largest 22 lbs.Seemed the best bite was around 240.Temp gauge was acting up .#300 copper and prochip on dipseys took the kings,seemed the brighter the colors worked best. One good run ending in bringing in a 24 in laprey It rained early but the rest of our trip was sun and light winds,few flies and fleas to contend with, Where are the fisherman ???,first weekend and a handful of boats. -
Sodus Reports
john1947 replied to Pappy's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Best action for us was 200 to 250.We went 9 for twelve .Big fish came on prochip black and green dot blue fly on diver set about 120.Water was colder inside a few fish taken.Spoons chicken wing yellow nbk dolphin.Went out saturday fora few hours but little going on inside 100 before rain storm came through. -
Hello We fished the afternoon till dark.Most fish taken 200 250 range 140 down .Didnt take temp.best bite was flashers and bait.Also NBK down 140 was hot.We were 6 for twelve . Lots of fish and bait marked.

with the present lake level fluctuations the best dok would have been a floater.The dock at the coast guard remains useless much of the time due to high water.A floater would be alot safer also.If I were the town Id take the money offered and put it towards a floater replacement.Maybe a small launch fee to cover costs.
