Below I copied in a post from "open lake discussion" regarding the heads on the clipped fish. If you kept that fish read below. osted August 24, 2015 - 5:10 PM The pen rearing/fin clipped salmon study is coming to a end.. {2016 study will be on coho} Any salmon having an adipose fin clip has coded wire tag in it's snout. PLEASE save snout/head only. Lake Ontario United( LOU=everyone on this site)... purchased a freezer for US Fish and Wild life to help with this study. The freezer is located off lake Ontario state parkway near Sandy Creek, Hamlin NY. I AM WILLING to pick up fish heads from Irondequoite Bay west to Oak Orchard if needed. With all the time and effort put into the pen rearing projects LAKEWIDE, the retuning data is MINIMAL at best. Lack of data (returned wire tags) does not help with future salmon stocking numbers, especially in our fish pens. With less data to compare to pen survival rates verses direct stocked or percent of pen reared to wild salmon numbers returning in lake. ETC. This collection will go on right threw fall stream season. Please make an effort if you can to not let years of fin clipped/tagged salmon and pen rearing project efforts lakewide go unrewarded and info not to be FULLY utilized. PM me any questions as you can drop fish heads off yourself any day/anytime also at freezer location. Thanks Capt. Jerry REBEL FISHING CHARTERS

Absolutely!

Nice boat. Assuming that is a Thompson 240HT, I run the same ride. I had to do a double take. Nice fish too.

Small world, he was my shop teacher also. I used to spend some of my lunch and free periods in his shop. He let me sit in on his fishing night class one year. Wish I remembered more of it!

Glad to hear they are still hanging around. Should be a zoo in and around I-Bay this weekend but we'll be out there.

Awesome day.

Thanks for the report. Just curious, what is a superbread? Is it an offshoot of the wonderbread?

Only the second weekend of fishing on the Gunner. Started out Thursday evening looking for some leftover browns in the bay. Got the ever elusive sheep trout instead. Saturday we tried working the browns to no avail. Moved out to 80-85 fow and quickly had a viscious slam on the dipsy pulling a doctored up NK mag money. 20 seconds of excitment and we were bit off. Pulled a small laker on a nuclear green Challenger off of the boards. First time I ever got a laker 5 feet down over 85 fow. Next two fish were teenager kings one on an NK mag green dolphin behind 300' copper and the other on a rattlin rogue off of the boards. That was the day 3 for 4 losing what was definitely the biggest fish. A likely story I know. Sunday we went back to the 80-85 fow. The same 300' copper rig had all of the action, limited as it was. First fish pounded the copper and just tore line off the reel. We looked at each other with some big eyes. 30 seconds later he was unbuttoned but at least we got the spoon back this time. Another hour or so and a teenager king on the copper. Moved out into the fog to 105' and back again, nothing. Packed it in at 11:30.

Nice fish man. Are you putting the boat back in this year? If not I can get ya out a few times.

Do you have the plug receptacle for the unit? Tnx

According to the camera's time and date stamp, Happy New Year everyone.

I was down there yesterday. and I've got the same problem. A list as long as my arm of things I want or have to get done before splashdown and I can't get to the boat. I called the number hung in the window and asked for the combo to the gate lock but the person I talked to did not know it. I think they gave it to me back in the fall but I can't find it. The owners are back from Florida today or tomorrow so I am hoping to talk to them and get the combo. If I get it I'll PM you with it. I'm sure I'll see ya down there.
