Hi Rider: Unfortunately, I found this 54 incher this week (a real heavy fish): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Cancatchbass/SIRWILLIAMSHOAL54INCH8MAY20061130AM.jpg FTN- the "rapid rise in temperatures during Spring" theory doesn't hold water (pun?) since there have been at least 3 d...

JohnB - they've been in that area, below the locks anyways, for many years. Sometimes there have been huge schools.

I found this fish this afternoon. The first I found was last week, a 44 1/2". http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Cancatchbass/THWARTWAYMUSKIE43INCH5MAY06RESIZED.jpg This fish was just 43" long. I did see two live fish today, a small 36"+/- and a second larger, 50" class fish ...

Wolfe- last year's die-off was not heat related. I'm not sure whether the NYSDEC made an error or if they could not report the true cause - a nasty virus - for some reason. One of the reasons the second year of this situation is not expected to result in the same numbers in the St. Lawrence area is ...

As many of you may already know, there was a major die-off of muskies in the eastern basin of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in May/June 2005. This year, Lake St. Clair is experiencing the same problem, with reports of 100 plus dead fish being found already. We anticipate there will be a se...

One point that seems to have been overlooked here. The Ottawa River and St. Lawrence River are NOT like the waters of the Kawarthas where the good Mr. Battah guides. In some Kawartha Lakes muskie are as plentiful as pike. You might catch 6-10 in a day. Try to catch a bunch like that on the TROPHY mu...

Great fish, Greg.

And good job of releasing those two egg-filled jumbos. Those are important fish to any fishery.

Doherty, Tim Jardine, and Steven L. Currie The muskellunge was introduced in the Saint John River system from stockings in a ...

Glad you enjoy a spirited discussion. XrapAttack! Welcome to the site. Things are usually a little quieter around here, but once in a while the discussions get pretty lively. Justin- 32 years old! :shock: I knew you were just a kid! I've got reels older than you. :lol: Thanks, Wolfe, for being the r...

Mississippi Lake Called......it wants its bass back....and no scientific information can change that story...

That calls for a double

Hey Justin: Talk about hi-jacking threads! You, sir must be joking! :shock: What, exactly, are you doing now? I'll play along, though. I've fished quite a few tournaments over the years. I fished a couple this past season, but likely won't fish any this coming season as I'll be spending my time on t...

Gee, RJ, you seem to be getting pretty excited. :shock: How about this thought process: Hmmm, a thread about nets. Check it out. (Now keep in mind I checked out the thread about ling fishing although I have no intention of going ling fishing- no law against that, that I'm aware of). Next- Hmmmm... l...

Justin: The reason I posted that I don't own a net was to show that I have no bias towards any one manufacturer's products. I readily admit knowing nothing about the Magnus product other than what the web site shows. To say that my comment that I don't own a net is saying that I'm the ultimate conse...
