  1. `Start with Dan Keating 's books ; ie " Keating on Kings " as a basic then move on with other editions !

    All the information you need can be found on this site or " Spoonpullers " !

    ps. great pun on the bear / bare !

    pps. My family doctor was out on smaller Ontario lake seeing an open boat apparently adrift without anyone on board : Had to check it out found 2 bares ; told them " once a king always  king but once a knight is enough ! "

  2. A lot healthier than smoking tobacco or marihuana !

    " Rubber on the road " ! No proven health risks from eating fish from Lake Ontario or Lake Erie : I have been eating them for 60 + years ( all the guys I started with on Lake O who liked sausage hamburg etc and did not eat my fish are dead ! Not sure of the connection ) and I remain in great shape ! ( slowing down a bit " Once a king always a king but once a knight is enough !) 

     

     

  3. Poaching = destructive harvesting with little respect of the resource !   One wonders how much habitat loss in the late 1880s played in the demise of the Atlantic salmon when we heard of the pointless slaughter of the fish !

    Biology 101 : biology has natural ups and downs of all species  ; if the species suffers an added attack  eg. Poaching it may disappear !

    Other examples : the turkey was wiped out in Ontario not in NYS !  

               Walleye : over harvested and poached !

         The deer population is down in the Niagara peninsula Ont. How can we prove it ie not due to poaching .

     

  4. Atlantic salmon were native to Lake Ontario but were wiped out primarily due to poaching  ( ie land owners on the north shore would fork them as pig food etc ; loss of habitant was a factor ) . 

    Present attempts on the north shore has met with little success reasons are unclear to me ?

  5. Question remains why should a four stroke engine carbon up ? I use Sea Foam in my 2 cycle OBs because the oil/gas mixture will eventually carbon up . 

    I also use high test ? Octane 92 without ethanol ; what grade of gas do you use ?

  6. Note article in Great Lakes Angler Oct/Nov 2017 pg. 62  " Black Lures Matter " ( super PUN or what !)

    Basically Cp. Mike Schoonveld  paints plugs with " Stops Rust flat protective enamel in black .

    " This battered J-Plug will soon be black and be back in the game ."!

  7. Walleye are native to Lake Ontario ; the Ontario MNR have done little to improve the fishery with major efforts for the Atlantic salmon yet to be achieved : Note article in Great Lakes Angler Oct/Nov 2017 by Darryl Choronzey " The Biggest Fish Story Never Told-Ontario's Atlantiic Salmon Fiasco "

    Ditto on the King is " King " ! But who long can it remain as a mainly put and take sport with our Canadian agenda foe Lake Trout and Atlantics !

  8. I do not know of any walleye stocking in Lake O. Canadian side , Getthenet2 : The Ont. MNR stocked walleye in the cesspool of Hamilton harbour [ hopelessly polluted by the steel industry ] . They showed us fish caught ice fishing in the harbour last year at the MNR seminar . One of the attendees asked the MNR would they eat ? Answer " maybe a small one " ! sic !

    I told the MNR I go back 60 YEARS fishing wallies in Welland canal and the Niagara River with a very good sport fishery ; poaching ,over harvesting ? by commercial operators plus change of habitant destroyed it!

    I suggested that the freighters coming down the Welland canal could carry wallies from lake Erie in livewells and release them in Port Weller [ never give a bureaucrat a good idea ! ]

    Walleye is a warm water fishery ; it does not complete with the salmon fishery ! The walleye is an omnivore [ will eat anything and is caniballistic ie will eat each over in rearing ponds ] The fishery can be from shore unlike the big dollar salmon fishery , allowing the less fortunate among us to enjoy the resource
