    King Slammin Shakedown 4-14

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    I would agree if the lakers were eating other game fish. It has about the same effect as throwing pickerel on the ice.
     
    Some people actually enjoy catching them.
     
    Do what you what with them, it is your right to throw out a resource.

    Lakers do eat other game fish though not as much as they eat the food that other game fish eat. I would rather have a king fishery than a lake trout fishery any day. Most will agree with me, those that don't just aren't educated. To each their own I guess.

    No waste here. I consume healthy tomatoes, peppers, beans, corn, Brussel sprouts, etc. every year as a result of planting fish in my garden. And none of the toxic chemicals are used to taint my organic garden.

    I can think of 1000 better ways to fertilize my garden. Why kill those fish unless you plan on eating them......dick move!

    Pay attention to the current state of our fishery and you would have a totally different opinion. I have lived here my entire life and pay tax dollars on my property, licenses, and tackle that find their way into the fishery. I catch and release numerous steelhead, Browns, and kings every year. The lakers are severely overpopulated with an established natural reproduction and federal stocking. I will continue to keep my boats limit and encourage more to do the same in hopes of restoring balance in the predator/ prey population. I usually release a fair amount of kings in the spring as well but plan on keeping my limit, again hoping to achieve balance.

    Late start for me this year, work got busy fast. Launched at Wilson around 7 am. We cruised around all the debris in the harbor, and especially out front, and settled in at 55'. The plan was to target lakers with a king spread, just to be prepared. We had our first fish on a green dot spinny/ fly within 20 minutes. Then a lot of dead water. Marked very little fish and no bait. Decided to run to the bar and take a peak. Water was 2 degrees colder on the surface but much better color. We trolled back toward Wilson for a few miles and had a steady pick of lakers with a few flurries to keep us entertained. Kept our three man limit for the garden and called it a day around noon. The boat ran strong round trip and caught some bonus fish. Good shakedown in my book. I did hear of two kings caught today in US waters as well. Bring it on!!!IMG_1492198162.065799.jpgIMG_1492198171.635722.jpg

    Review of my winter boat cover

    in This Old Boat

    I just did an a frame on each end with a long 2x6 ridge across the entire length. Wrapped the tarp over the framing and tied the grommets together underneath. Worked perfectly. Snow slid off and kept the boat dry and mold free. Plus I had access through the back of the enclosure all year. Took a couple dozen screws out at the beginning of the year and the wood back into the lumber pile.

    It is a great used boat. There's not enough around to satisfy the need. I drove to Chicago to buy mine on Valentine's Day weekend last year.
