  1. Real-time data monitoring buoys a first for Great Lakes
  2. The weather buoy is almost 10 feet tall, is in 88.5 feet of water. It's location is 42.740 N 79.290 W (42°44'24" N 79°17'24" W) and looks similar to the photo I've posted. Load the lat and long I've posted in Google Maps, it will show its exact location to the border.
  3. The commercial fishing boats monitor channels 6 and 8 when laying nets.
  4. I was just advised via Facebook walleye group that the yellow jerry can is marking a wreck.
  5. I went out to the weather buoy south of Port Colborne today because I saw a commercial fishing boat laying nets. I assumed its fishing finding equipment was far superior to mine. I assumed wrong, I didn't catch anything. In the past I've always seen fishing nets marked with a pole topped with a flag and floating buoys enabling boaters to easily see where the nets started and ended. This commercial fishing boat marked its nets with a yellow jerry can. It was impossible see from a distance, it was also impossible to see which direction the net was running. 2 Comments Like Comment
  6. You are welcome, braided line is best for jigging.
  7. I used to do a lot of jigging. I prefer using Gulp Alive minnows because they don't get caught up in the weeds like twister tails do. I would go out in the evening or early morning on the lee side of a breakwater. Slowly lower your jig into the holes in the weed bed until you reach bottom. Then raise it a few inches and move it slowly up and down. If there is a walleye or bass in the vicinity, they will hit the jig immediately. Then move to the next hole, there is no need to stay in a hole in the weed bed more than fifteen seconds.
  8. Gobee Golight       I have the above. I use it when travelling at night, it will light up a marker buoy from a considerable distance. I once came across a couple of teenagers making out in a paddle boat. They assumed no one would see them if they went out a couple of hundred feet in the river after midnight. Had I not had this light, I may have run them over. This light remotely scans up and down and can be turned to light up the boat's interior.
  9. I was out for a couple of hours south of Port Colborne, caught 3, lost 2. Seventy feet of water, 40 feet down with riggers and crawler harnesses.
  10. When I joined the Navy in 1965 we were taught drown-proofing, how to survive on the water without a lifejacket. The following is a video that explains how easy it is to do. It could save your life. Navy Skills for Life – Water Survival Training – Clothing Inflation
  11. When out again for a couple of hours the following last night and caught 5 more using the same technique.
  12. Left Port Colborne (directly across the lake from Silver Creek) at 4 pm, fished 45 feet down in 75 fow +/- and limited out by 7 pm. All fish were caught fluttering on downriggers using purple and watermelon crawler harnesses.
  13. Left the dock at 6 pm, returned at 8:30, all I caught were too sheepheads.
  14. This website has webcams listed for all the great lakes. http://www.lakerart.com/links.htm
