  1. Great story! Gotta love moments like that that’s exactly why I fish. Nothing like hooking into a giant musky with bass or walleye gear. A couple years back I hooked into what I believe was a big musky on the SLR while trolling for walleye. It was so big I couldn’t even get the rod out of the rod holder. Ended up fighting it for around a minute before it cut my line with its teeth. Heartbreaker for sure but I know any time I’m out it could happen again. Keep the stories coming!

  2. I got a report in early to mid September a bunch of them were headed towards Canada. From what I’ve been hearing they’ve been doing very good up there this year too
  3. I guess that equals the pile of dog excrement I’ve seen this year. Forgot about the reduced stocking numbers. Hope this kind of fall season isn’t common or people aren’t gonna come up and fish for them anymore and neither will all the $$$ that comes with them including myself.
  4. I’ve been pier fishing the Genny for roughly 13 years now and I can tell you this is by far THE worst run I’ve ever seen. I fish at night and put in a lot of time and we had one decent night from late August till now. I can probably count on two hands the amount of fish that I actually saw caught. I can also probably count the bottle drops I heard on one hand which is absolutely insane. Never have I seen the total lack of fish around as I’ve seen this year. It’s been almost totally dead for around 2 weeks now if not more. I heard around the first or second week of September we had bad winds that scattered all the staging fish which has been confirmed in this thread. To me that is absolutely ridiculous that a couple days of “bad” winds would ruin the entire run. If that’s the case these salmon must not have much incentive if any to spawn where they should be. Also we have crappy winds every year for a couple days or more why would this year be any different? Sounds like the lack of pen raised fish 3 years ago is a major factor and maybe the biggest? I keep hoping they are still out there and just late to the party but I’m starting to really worry at this point. It also sounds like us western end fall salmon fishermen are getting the short end of the stick. IMO there is nothing more fun than casting for kings with spoons, crankbaits or whatever else you wanna throw at them and no doubt many agree. I hope we never see a year like this again.
  5. I’m looking for some (late 90’s?) post Rapala Storm deep jr. thundersticks with the clear plastic bills. The picture shows what they looked like they had different color patterns and dive curves then the current thundersticks. If anyone has some around that they are willing to sell please let me know. I’m also looking for some Dave’s Kaboom Shiners as well if anyone is willing to part with a few. Thanks

  7. Here we go! Did the lake turn over by any chance?
  8. I’m in the market for a new fishfinder gps combo. I’m looking to spend no more than $700. I’ve basically narrowed it down to two units unless there’s something out there a lot better but I don’t see it. I’m looking at the Raymarine Dragonfly 7 Pro and the Simrad XSE. I’ve heard good things from both units. The XSE would cost about $200 more than the Dragonfly is it worth the extra cost? They both have the same resolution but the Simrad has a faster GPS system (10Hz vs 5) and also has a better warranty (3 vs 1). The XSE also has side imaging which the Dragonfly doesn’t but I don’t plan on hardly ever using it because I believe a 7” screen is too small to have everything up at once. What I really care about is the traditional 2D sonar which both have chirp and both have down imaging. The Dragonfly has chirp down imaging but the XSE does not. From what I’ve seen online both units have impressive resolution and target separation. I’m also looking for simplicity. The XSE has NMEA 2000 which is nice but I don’t plan on using it. From what I’ve heard the Dragonfly is pretty much plug and play with very little to tweak. I will also note I fish shallow water 60 foot max and 99% of the time under 45 feet. Should I just save my money and go with the Raymarine Dragonfly or pony up and go with the Simrad XSE? Both units come with charts but I’m not sure if I would need to upgrade them afterwards or not for my area which could also be a determining factor. So does anyone have an opinion or experience with either unit? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
