Geeze Bob---that's more steelhead than you caught all last summer off your boat (except for when you fished with Pete and I).

Maybe you should run ice fishing charters....LOL

Enjoy it and be glad I don't do any ice fishing....

Where in the bay were you fishing? I am new to Sodus.

Hmm.... looks like someone was lucky they had a friend with them to reach down and grab that big male out... and all that after you left for fishing without me.

Don't get too used to fish like that buddy

First of all, Sodus is not a tributary. Second, if you don't know for sure that those fish are under 21" then why say anything at all? Since Bob is a Captain out of Sodus Bay, I'm pretty sure he knows the regs.

Lets not make this like "ice shanty" where everbody questions everybody. Beautifull fish Bob.

ScottB, I just wanted to understand what this means. Sodus Bay is mentioned in the reg book but seasonal tributaries regulation it's exempt? So is I-bay and Sandy Pond. But what about Fair Haven, Port bay, etc.?

I get real confused with what, where, when and especially how to fish everywhere, so my rule of thumb is if i'm not sure I just don't do it.

Can you better explain this to me? I'll buy the beer!

[Silver Fox]

I can't make any sense of most of the regs in this state as it is, but I can eplain that I drink bud light lime.

You never did mention whether they were caught jiggin' or on tip-ups... How much water were you over?
