Nice bird. To be honest with ya I would rather turkey hunt than fish. Forget my handle and my past career. Did I just say that -

You doubting me? You hatchery guys can only ID trout if they're under 6 inches. Us management guys know the fish in all sizes -

rochester sunday the 27th
steelhead'r replied to salmonite's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Really! I fished the shore at Russel's first lite and lost one steelie(dark). I then walked onto summerville pier (8AM) and saw 4 guys fishing - Nothing caught. Saw 5 boats on the lake. This is the last sunday in April, the weekend that the original ESLO derbies were held. There would have been many hundreds of boats out and more than a hundred anglers on the pier. I stopped turned and with atear in my eye walked off. Nothing stays the same. -
3 way “Double Baitsâ€
steelhead'r replied to HOLY DIVER's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
The Seth Green rig was used before depth finders downriggers and temp gauges. It originated on the finger lakes for lake trout. Anglers knew the fish were somewhere deep. The only way one could affectivly troll for them was to cover as most of the water column as possible. Most rigs consisted of a heavier braided line with bead swivels every 10 feet and a heavy sinker (16 oz or more) on the bottom. The line was attached to a large spool ( some used a victrola record player) and was let out by hand. 10 to 15 leaders were attched to the swivels. Lures were generally silver flutter spoons. Usually 5 spoons were used since the then Conservation Dept law was 15 hook points ie. 5 treble hooks. Inorder to use a second rig after the first rig was set, a plastic jug was attached to it and let out a hundred feet back or so. The line went back a 100feet on the surface and then down with the lures. The second was then set and left straight down from the boat. There was no real playing with fish since it was a hand line with a heavy sinker attached. The fun of the setup was to keep all the leaders from getting tangled. History class over -
Steelhead! What else?

Best Pike on Lk Ontario or Finger Lakes Region
steelhead'r replied to pmjasper's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
Seneca Lake but it has to be open water. I been waiting for 25 years for the north end to freeze again. Lots of fish and big ones. Doesn't freeze much due to large size, deep and salty :? -
One Salmon's movement
steelhead'r replied to Persistence's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
I can see that marking fish or clipping fins could be fun to some people. However when you do this you could screw up studies by DEC and OMNR by giving them false data. Keep this in mind -
6am - 11am. 80 - 110 FOW. Down 75' - 85'. 8 for 9. 7 BT, 1RT 4lbs - 8lbs. one on wire - 2 setting back 175' rest on riggers. all on spoons black with glow/lazer and green/pink. all catch and release

Dypsys Not Working?????????????
steelhead'r replied to ray koziatek's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Line counters on reels and downriggers are not accurate scientific measurers. So you're fishing and you hear a report of 4 mature kings off a plaid dipsy # 2 setting, 160 feet of wire. So you put on a plaid dipsy and set it on #2 and 160 feet of wire and nothing. So you play with it awhile and you have to let out 175 feet of wire before you connect. Now you're cooking. You set up that same rod and tackle with the same settings that YOU caught your fish and go from there. The name of the game is repeatabilty of the program that works for you. -
any smallies in ontario near rochester?
steelhead'r replied to C&R's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
Hey C&R, Cost of the outing - PRICELESS -
Joe' My brother was the observer in your boat yesterday that got a hook in his arm. I was fishing with Vinnie. Everything turned out fine although the hook was in a vein. The doctor said it looked nasty. He froze it and cut the hook to get it out. No stiches. We want to thank you for pulling lines early and taking him to port. We appreciate it. BTW your team members tried to enter my brother in your catch but thru him out because the hook was not in the mouth. Good luck fishing.
