    I do not know of any walleye stocking in Lake O. Canadian side , Getthenet2 : The Ont. MNR stocked walleye in the cesspool of Hamilton harbour [ hopelessly polluted by the steel industry ] . They showed us fish caught ice fishing in the harbour last year at the MNR seminar . One of the attendees asked the MNR would they eat ? Answer " maybe a small one " ! sic !

    I told the MNR I go back 60 YEARS fishing wallies in Welland canal and the Niagara River with a very good sport fishery ; poaching ,over harvesting ? by commercial operators plus change of habitant destroyed it!

    I suggested that the freighters coming down the Welland canal could carry wallies from lake Erie in livewells and release them in Port Weller [ never give a bureaucrat a good idea ! ]

    Walleye is a warm water fishery ; it does not complete with the salmon fishery ! The walleye is an omnivore [ will eat anything and is caniballistic ie will eat each over in rearing ponds ] The fishery can be from shore unlike the big dollar salmon fishery , allowing the less fortunate among us to enjoy the resource

    I think we could build a great walleye fishery on south shore

    Sen schummer just got millions f0r fishery support

    Love the freigher idea

    Walleye better native fish

    I like salmon but high cost

    Not every man afford a salmon rig

    Kids our future would prefer

    Minus sea sickness

  2. walleye stocking lake ontario

    I know Erie is loaded with eyes.I wondered if it would be possible to mass catch some of the eyes in Erie and use them to jump start a walleye population in Lake Ontario.One good thing about our lake is its alot deeper and colder than erie and might offer some good habitat for them.I do know bluefin tuna are caught and held in pens before they are harvested

  3. wE GOT A FEW NICE WALLEYE LAST NIGHT NEARBY IN SODUS BUT iM ICHING FOR Lake Erie trip.

    I m catching many nice kings here also but dont want to miss out on Lake Erie before it slows.Anyone from the rochester area who has tackle and know how on Erie is welcome to go with me next week good weather permiting.Id also like to go for a fewdays to take the time to catch .My fish we caught last night were on husky jerks in the shalows off drop offs

     

  4. Smallmouth has been slow this year.mayb3 to much bait im not sure

    Ive marked many fish few hits

    Visabily is way down to shore erosian

    Lots of gobies other fish

    Last year was excellent maybe to many taken.

    Might be a idea to reduce limits.slot size might help bring them back

    What are your thoughts?

  5. fishing was good inside tuesday we stayed inside where the thermocline hit bottom,seemed 48 degrees was the place they liked the best.all presentations worked ,dipsys and coppers seemed better.Thursday looks good south winds,hope to see more boats,we had only a few for company tuesday,if you come Ill be on channel 69,

    Everyone seemed caught more fish and were a happier bunch when we all chatted on the radio in past years

  6. Did fair inside yesterday ,the big boys are also inside so I would stick to huntng close to where the thermocline hits bottom.Another big point is visibility down deep is back to pre zebra days(erosion  lake shore) so some of the old tricks might be a good bet like shorter leads and stackersThe fish hit just about everything put before them,lol

    We had a great hit on a copper,saw the big board I made go back suddenly   turned out thought a 8 lb steelie
