  1. I had the opportunity to fish for blue pike.There were plenty of boat rental boat liveries along our shores. You had to reserve a boat a week ahead if you wanted to fish the weekend. My dad always a reserve a boat( which at that time was 2.00, He had a 5 hp. Firestone motor , which he bought ar the Lucky Urbans on Broadway.. We would go every Friday night , bring home 200 plus blues. My mother would get up when we got home . And help scale fish. My father never filleted them. We only had a small freezer,in our fridge. So they would wrap them in newspaper and give them to the neighbors, then drive to Bennington to give our relation.

    Driving along the lake at night, it was lantern city. Two lanterns on on each side of the boat. Multiply by a couple hundred boats. There where three reasons why you quit fishing.. 1.High winds 2. Ran out of bIt, 3 had enough fish for the night.

  2. I have down riggers and have fished with them many years. I average 4 outings per week fishing Lake Erie. I'm strictly a bottom bouncer fisherman, for walleyes. I used my home made worm harnesses, silver flatfish with a stinger hook, and a hookless spoon that is attached to beads and hook below it. I fish for eaters and never fish over 25 ft. Until water temp Reaches above 75 degrees.  Then I'll go out and fish 40 to  73 ft.

  3. Fished two hrs out of Sturgeon Pt. caught 45 jumbos. Could have caught  our limit if 100 with no problems. Hate to see these big sows laden with eggs being caught. When you bring them up and their bladder is coming out of their mouths , they will not survive if returned to the water. About 35boats congregated in one area. All fish were jumbos, no small runts. 

  4. Had talked to two individuals that were out last week and had taken 126 perch between three guys. They went out of Sturgeon Point. Be careful went going out of the harbor, It is only 3 1/2  ft. And high water. Make sure you raise your motor up when passing through, to be on the safe side.

  5. There appears to be a lack of emeralds in the river again. They were thick and heavy up to a month ago. We've been serching every day, with no luck . I just hope that this year doesn't turn out like last year.  Does anyone know when the lift to Ft. Of Ferry will be completed?

    Nice fish loaded with eggs. That's is one of the reasons why  us fisherman complain , where are the big ones or where are the perch.? When we keep these egg laden perch the perch will disappear . We should have a closed season on these perch during the spawning seasoning. I've been perch fishing for 65 years , and saw the decline in all the lakes I fish.
