    That is no musky. My guess is a pike with irregular pattern or possibly some type of hybrid. Very cool looking fish though... Any more pics of it? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Been a good spring for tigers there it seems like... I got a few over the last couple weeks and have seen a few pop up on here so far. Nice! Now lets see a big one Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have the same issue and taking to dealer tomorrow. 2011 merc 4 stroke 115hp. Oil smells of gas... I troll quite a bit with it but I also change the oil myself 2x a season and just noticed this now. Good thing since i only have a month left of warranty.

    ...and also thanks bsmaster for that link! I avoid bass tourneys like the plague and usually check all the individual club websites to see where/when they are. Nice to have most of them listed in one place

    Ditto to what BSmaster said. To each their own but stalking muskies on tiny little Waneta in the middle of a bass tourney doesn't turn me on all that much. And then you have the launch/parking situation... Not tryin to scare you off, just aint my style. Good luck if you end up goin

    It can be tough at times but the fish are there. I have caught plenty of nice pike in 1st-3rd, but have only seen one musky ( nice one) and that was in 4th. Old man gives good advice- follow it and you should do well. I will add that most of my success has been early in the am, as the lakes get quite busy and that shuts the fish down IMO Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Yes they are freshwater drum. Opportunistic feeders- i have caught them bottom fishing with crayfish/worms and also trolling spoons out in the lake. I know they also feed on zebra mussels (i have seen the shells hanging out of their @$$). Think i will pass on eating one... Haha Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Holy crap that first one is huge! They are an underrated fish imo. Nice job Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Haha! Ok thanks for the ID guys. I was a bit confused with the atlantic ID as well... i originally thought it was a coho, but i'm still a newbie as far as trout/salmon go. Have caught a few of these this spring and it was bugging me that i was not 100% sure what it was. Tight lines

    Ah ok. Thanks guys.

    Hi all- Have been playing with browns in Lake O this spring while counting down the days till musky season. Have had some great success, but still not the best at ID'ing all the species out there. What is this? My guess would be coho based on what i've read on here...

    Skunked at Conesus yesterday- was great to be out though. The neesh is always tough (at least for me) early in the season. May be better for those using live bait. Main lake still 48-49 and saw 53 degrees in the southwest corner by the inlet.

    The road is open to the launch and it is usable. Checked it out yesterday and there is a bunch of logs/debris blocking all but one of the ramps Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Beautiful fish! congrats!

    ditto on the tough weekend at chuatarkwa. Fished fri/sat/sun there and got 3 fish (1 fish each day trolling). Nada casting and of course did not catch a fish during the tourney. Chose to skip the bbq/awards after the tourney to keep fishin and nailed one @ like 5:30pm. pulled the boat early monday am to hit up another lake and did 2 more. All fish were mid to upper 30"s. Mostly beautiful weather though and nice to spend a long weekend on the water

    well spent a solid 8 hrs 7-3 mostly casting w/some trolling and...zippo. i am very stubborn and was throwing mostly bigger baits lookin for big mama. saw a smaller tiger porpoise across my bow right off the bat and then had a nice rip trolling suspended bait pods later in the day with nobody home. oh well thats muskie fishin and sure as hell beats workin. launched at campground- nice spot and parking situation was much better than at the marina. think i may check out oneida for bass/whatnot tomorrow while i have my boat out here just for somethin different
  25. JOE ESOX
