  1. Obviously in addition to what Ivan is saying re: pop density.

    People catch walleyes to eat more than anything, catching big ones are fun but main focus is for food. Tigers are caught for fun more than anything (although not bad to eat either), so bigger the fish bigger the fun hence more release

  2. All this anecdotal, emotional appeal does not help your case, period.

    Is what this king guy says as he paints a picture of the guy who's too proud too collect unemployment so he is fishing or the poor guy just grinding it out to feed his family.

    I dgaf if people sell fish or don't you're just over the top w the stories, ignoring the dudes who do it bc they are greedy and don't follow the rules and ruin it for the few good people doin it right

  3. Great day on Otisco today (weather more so than fishing). Got out w a friend and hammered the gills at the dam. Tiger action was a little slow for us, we lost 2 at the hole. One of them was decent, prob pushing a keeper size. Saw lots of people catching fish, nothing special on the tiger front from what I could see. Saw some nice crappies but I couldn't get any. Just nice to get out during this warm winter.

  4. My comment about the natural reproduction was more agreeing with the fact that if there is natural reproduction occurring, it shouldn't impact stocking numbers because it is such a small occurrance.  And just because there are fish that don't fit the pattern, doesn't necessarily mean there is a wealth of reproduction.  I saw 4 goldfish in Otisco 2 years ago that were about a foot long and I'm pretty sure those weren't stocked by DEC or natural repro, everyone has heard stories about rogue fish in other lakes that dont belong (walleyes in Skaneateles for example) sometimes people do their own stocking.

    I don't think Otisco is a hidden gem, it's definitely not, but IMO the reason people go there is because they are searching for an experience different than Oneida.  Everyone wants a limit, but you go to oneida for a meal you go to otisco for a monster.  That doesn't mean I don't think there should be a state launch, or I wouldn't want more walleyes.  It was more of a comment on just being appreciative for it the way it is.  

     

    I don't even want a launch because of problems with the price, i jsut dont want to launch below causeway, or deal with that nightmare up at the other marina.  How about a launch at the park with a fee and the fee goes to paying for some more fish to stock.
