  1. Unfortunately I have to bail as well. To much going on to make it out there after being out of town for a week. Ohhhh the joys of having a girlfriend. I'll make it up there this September when the fatties and getting caught.

  2. Finally got out after a couple weeks of working on the boat and a busy schedule. Managed to put the first walleye in the new boat. Trolling a reef runner. Not to big. Probably around 4.5lbs. Felt great to finally get the stink off the boat. The new trolling motor works like a dream. It's do nice to just set it in a direction and forget about it while I set lines and do whatever. New fish finder is going on on Sunday. After that the boats almost complete. Tight lines!

  3. I'm looking but one used. Wondering what you guys think of this unit? Is the side imaging as good as the models that are coming out now? It doesn't have down imaging. Would it be better to buy a new unit that's much smaller but has both DI and SI? I will be primarily using it on the finger lakes for walleye, perch and bass. Occasional trips to Lake Ontario as well for trout and salmon. Any I go helps. Thanks.

  4. Is there any other way to get involved with the angler diaries other than going to this meeting? I would like to attend but it's a pretty far drive for me.

    I'm sure there is. I'll pass along any info I can.

  5. I'm not trying to be a dick either but show me one lake that has alewife as the primary bait fish where walleyes are naturally reproducing. Then try and find one lake with Alewifes as the primary bait fish that doesn't have a natural bass, pike, sunfish or pickerel population.

    Also alewife might be low on the food chain. Definitely not bottom of the food chain but still they are open water planktivors. There habitat and the habitat of baby pike, bass, sunfish do not cross.

  6. I'm not being a dick and just trying to argue. However there are studies saying a lot of things out there. But when it comes to bait fish I think of bottom of the food chain. And bottom of food chain means shallow water life for safety or large schools. So I hardly believe a study that states bass and pike are safe from alewives because they don't live in shallow water which provides cover from predators. And if the walleye are at the mercy of the wind the winds would push them to the shoreline. Pretty quick.Not like conesus is very wide. Maybe it's the pike and tigers, maybe it's over fishing. I don't no. I only started fishing there the last 3 years. And i have had no problem with catching fish. I have also seen the biggest walleyes I have ever seen follow lures back to boat.(reason why I fish at conesus now) With a lake like conesus that has deep drop off for big fish to move up into the shallows to feed very easily, and safely I believe there are very big fish there. Plus all the bait that there is, life could be sustained very easy.

    So why is it bass and pike need zero stocking? They have great reproduction in that lake. You stop stocking walleye and they will be gone in a few years, how many I don't know. Pike and tigers are not effecting the walleye population.
