    Does botulism actually effect the fish seems like it effects only birds and humans fair point about the heavy metals i think the goby solution is the only option plentiful enough at this point unless someone wants to stock alewives and create a huge disaster

    The invasive species disposals and /or small payouts for them https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/threads/coho-went-to-the-goby-buffet.751358/ idk if june 13 is too early for summer but i came across this a while ago

    Would be better off getting the dec at the hatchery to feed them gobies or to get whatever place that makes the food to mix in the remains of gobies

    When i did the course it said every state except Louisiana accepted other state licenses

    Worth split rings you can buy in bulk If you do decide to buy from them i would recommend in the filters for material base you pick steel and zinc for the finish as for trebles i have been trying to get on board with replacing them entirely with owner single inline replacement hooks it was a while ago but i remember reading something about single hook also having a better hook up ratio

    Doubt it it only froze Wednesday night with major cracks being visible from dock bubblers on thursday and it still being open water around those docks on friday (source working right out there on the lake)

    Honestly my pike in the islands have all come on daredevle though i did lose one with a goby colored senko on a 1oz jig-head when i was experimenting Weeds at 15-30' in hot summer months Weeds at 8-12' in Spring & Fall when its cooler Weeds along drop offs are biggest key if from shore in clayton go right behind keybank is a spot That is what i know mostly good luck i dont live in the river or get to fish it a lot though i would love too

    Hope i am not too late but for my pike rod and medium sized lures i use a Cajun Rods Black BayouMedium Heavy 7ft be careful how you cast though as i was making ICBM like casts and broke it as i would slingshot it as i felt the weight of lure For a heavy duty rod or larger lures i use a Cashion Rods Icon Inshore Rod 7'4" Heavy Moderate Fast Rod Lure Weight 1/2oz-3oz Weight

    Size 1 or 2 gamakatsu splitshot /dropshot hook Bigger hook means less swallowing i did also get a 8" perch on a 3/4oz daredevle before

    True i dont have a boat so i dont have a fish board Accurate weight is either subtract net and/ or cradle i think besides documenting it does help show how the esox are doing
  14. Big fat pike
    Alright i guess documenting girth and weight is a personal thing of mine
  15. Big fat pike
    After reading what botulism is and how it affects birds & fish why is it other fish are able to eat gobies and only suffer morbid obesity
  16. Big fat pike
    True
  17. Big fat pike
    I totally agree though the dec got it right for the kings and cohos weight classification also what about length classification
  18. Big fat pike
    I was wondering what the benchmark standard is that everyone would agree is trophy for Rainbows/Steelhead 18lbs Browns 15lbs Lakers 25lbs Kings 30lbs Cohos 15lbs Atlantic 15lbs i know for muskie its 50" 30lbs pike 40" 15 lbs and for bass 20" 5lbs
  19. Big fat pike
    Yes but with an nearly unlimited source of zebra muscles we are never going to get rid of them At least the browns and lakers are eating gobies also i came across a guy on the michigan sportsman forum who caught a coho salmon in huron and he found this in its stomach
  20. Big fat pike
    Just a thought if they had the place that makes pellets add the remains of gobies and put them in pellets the hatchery feeds them maybe they would eat the gobies along with the alewives and might do better
  21. Big fat pike
    Increased competition?
  22. Big fat pike
    Do you have recommendations for measuring girth i know to invest in a fish board & weigh the net if you have someone else to take a picture do you guys have any recommendations for calming them down while holding them I tried covering their eyes without touching them but it didn’t work ?
  23. Big fat pike
    Ok I will personally i was out with a guide and using his lures have you tried owner inline replacement single hooks?
  24. Big fat pike
    Ok I just thought that a much higher natural spawn then was is accounted for in stocking would result in more fish less bait smaller fish It would be great if they could get them to eat gobies
  25. Big fat pike
    I personally know very little about the salmon but does this indicate a far lower alewife population also dont they stock with a estimated 20% wild reproduction success and didnt a bunch of them starve and die off one year because the success rate was 80% instead of 20%
