    1. when running spoons and plugs check your hooks and keep them sharp

    2. i switched over to running all tournament tied flies last year and it increased my hook ups

    3. i run 30# mono leaders 8-10' long (adds a little bit of stretch to your setup)

    4. snubbers do their job well when everything else is in order

    5. loosen your drags. get your speed right and tighten your drags till they stop clicking.

    6. try not to let unexperienced anglers grab the rod and set the hook. Let experience set the hook and get the fish under control before handing the rod over. (ive seen this to many times)

    7. but still your gonna loose some fish.

    Sandy Creek 4-26

    Myself and Captain Jax left the mouth of the creek about 6:30 in a thick fog and immediately began trolling, towards the pump house, with the usual sticks off the boards and running a single rigger. We worked that 8-12 fow and with nothing for our efforts on the western troll, we turned at the pump house and headed back towards the mouth of the creek. On our first pass of the creek, we pulled a brownie out of the small mud plume (which was almost 3 degrees warmer). The fish came off the rigger with a stinger nbk parked 6' down and 50' back. We spent the remainder of the day working that warm pocket of water (which the north wind was slowly pushing back into the creek). On our last pass of the day we doubled up on a brownie and a real nice smallmouth off the riggers. The brownie took a stinger nbk off the riggers and the smallmouth took a stinger irish car bomb off the other rigger. Nice end to the day!

    Left the dock this morning and headed west of Newman's point. We set up in about 12 fow and headed east. With the waves out of the west and the 25-30 mph wind out the southwest trolling speed was an issue. Once we got our speed figured out we quickly boated our first fish of the day. A 8# brownie that took a renegade stick off the planer board in about 10 fow out in front of the "woods". The fish managed to tangle 2 downrigger lines and 1 line off the opposite planer board (what a mess). We spent alot of time today fighting the wind and the waves. We did end the day 3 for 4 all brownies and all on the same stickbait. We lost one on a stinger (irish car bomb) off the rigger 4'down and 50' back. The other boats i talked to all seemed to do about the same. A fair amount of boats out this morning but most got blow off the lake by 8:30-9:00.

    Dipsey Diver Color

    in Salmon Pro's Connection

    Posted

    For the most part i have eliminated running colored dipseys in my spreads. I still have (and run) some glow and some chrome dipseys but the majority of the time i run all black dipseys. While i think that some days certain colors will out produce black, I think running Black dipseys eliminates the need to search for that right combo of colored dipseys and bait. By running black dipseys you can spend your time more wisely on finding the right spoon or flasher/fly combo.

    Pen Rearing Projects Information

    Pen Rearing Information

    Pen rearing projects around the lake aid in the stocking efforts of both Steelhead and Chinook Salmon. Pen rearing allows these fish to "smolt" and to grow to larger sizes before their release date. Unlike direct stocking, pen rearing increases survival and returns rates of these fish. These programs exist today because of the strong relationship between the DEC and the project's volunteers.

    If you have contact info for other pen rearing programs or updated information you would like to add email me or PM me.

    body bait speed

    I have found that while some days a "fast" troll (2-2.5) might produce other days might require you to troll slow 1.5-2 mph. Vary your speeds and check your baits action because a slow troll might make the difference on a day when the fish are inactive.

    Dec seeks public input on the future of lake ontario fisheries

    DEC SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON THE FUTURE OF LAKE ONTARIO FISHERIES

    Series of Public Meetings to be Held to Assist in Development of Fish Community Objectives

    The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will hold a series of public meetings in March of 2009 to obtain comments on the Lake Ontario fishery that will help the agency develop new fish community objectives. Fish community objectives are broad-based goals that will guide DEC and the Province of Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources in managing Lake Ontario fisheries.

    “DEC is committed to sound, science-based management of Lake Ontario fisheries to maintain high-quality angling opportunities and their associated economic benefits,†said DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis. “In light of the dramatic and rapid changes to the Lake Ontario ecosystem, we will continue to work with local communities to chart the course for the future of this important resource.â€

    DEC strongly encourages people with an interest in the Lake Ontario ecosystem to participate in this process. Prior to attending a meeting, participants should review the fish community objectives document prepared in 1997 and a brief summary of ecological changes that have taken place in the Lake Ontario ecosystem on the internet at http://www.seagrant.sunysb.edu/glsportf ... Fall08.pdf . This background material also can be obtained from the Cape Vincent Fisheries Station by writing to:

    NYSDEC Cape Vincent Fisheries Station

    P.O. Box 292

    Cape Vincent, New York 13618

    (315) 654 - 2147

    Anyone who is unable to participate in a public meeting, but wishes to submit comments should send them to the fisheries station at the above address or via e-mail to [email protected]

    DEC biologists and staff from cooperating agencies and universities will present information at the beginning of each meeting describing the current status of the Lake Ontario fishery. The public will then have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any information presented. Following this question and answer session, participants will be offered an opportunity to provide written comments that will assist DEC and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources with planning efforts for the future of the Lake Ontario fishery.

    The public meetings will be held at the following times and locations:

    Monday, March 9, 2009, from 7 - 10 p.m. at the Oswego County BOCES, County Route 64, Mexico, New York. For information, contact Dan Bishop in the DEC Cortland office at (607) 753-3095.

    Tuesday, March 10, 2009, from 7 - 10 p.m. in the Ingle Auditorium at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). For information, contact Linda Vera in the DEC Avon office at 585-226-5324.

    Wednesday, March 18, 2009, from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. at the Niagara County Cooperative Extension, 4H Training Center Auditorium, 4487 Lake Avenue (Route 78), Lockport, New York. For information, contact Paul McKeown in the DEC Allegany suboffice at (716) 372-0645 or Mike Wilkinson in the DEC Buffalo office at (716) 851-7010;

    In addition to the New York meetings, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources will host a series of meetings to obtain public comments on the fish community objectives. Once this process is complete, revised draft fish community objectives will be made available for public review and comment.
