This year's predictions

[orangediablo]

As I sit here bored at work stuck staring at Lake Erie, I start thinking how the 2023 season will pan out.  I plan on changing my standard spread this year to see what transpires, obviously hoping to catch more and larger salmon, steelies and 'hos.  Compared to last year's overall fishery and outcomes, how do y'all think this year will compare?

Warm winters (2012 & 2018) are usually phenomenal fishing.  Lack of Erie ice will get things started early and hopefully the weather will cooperate this season and allow the lake to be more stable.

I hope there is enough water to get out

I will be trying a new to me 22 foot Islander with new transom, new engine and new electronics. For now I just hope it will float, the rest is a bonus.

Water level appears “up” to me (observing from Oswego). IJC graph suggests about 8” above average.

I am predicting windy weekends this spring.

I am predicting tons of black flies that will sting me while I'm trying to get the mega tons of fleas off my lines

Are the 2 commercial netters going to remove / already removed all the Yellow Perch fish from Clayton area again ?

X2  2012 and 2018 were epic spring king salmon fishing in Mexico bay

Please let there be some Yellow Perch left in May & June.

I'll predict that you'll actually come fish browns with me for once!
