Live From The Water 2019 Edition

I got 19” and 16” laker. We rotate turns. Of course my Dad’s turn ended up with 28” over 9lbs.

I got this response from the DEC regarding the fin clip. I couldn’t find the chart that lists the years and was curious on age.

“Hi Tommy,
Congratulations to your Dad on a great catch. The lake trout in Lake Gilead have had right pectoral clips in 2013 2008 and in 2003. Without having a scale sample it is tough to tell for sure, but based on previous data from aging lake trout I would guess that it is from the 2008 stocking making it 11 years old

freshwater scallops!

 

By the way, why didnt you and @Robhuntandfish harvest those from our panfish??

Damn some of them were big enough. Wider than a beer can! 

I keep a bag of walleye cheeks going all year . Then in the winter make up a chowder with those and shrimp.

That sounds amazing! A pot of that could easily be heated on a propane stove at a campsite...

There is a ton of these in Canadarago lake.  Fished there a few times and some bass tournaments. Would see them swimming around. Could never catch one though.

[Robhuntandfish]

I think that's why we never won there. My buddy was trying to catch them and not bass!  Lol. He was amazed

Friend got The Real TC and I out this morning on the Nitro and Lake Erie. Not much wind so little drift and water real clear and still cold at 62. Fished a few harbors along with the gaps and long wall. Those two cleaned up. Me not so much. Saw a beast of a musky , few northern , couple LMB caught Upon getting strafed by terns coming off bird island dropping napalm Tacks hung tight and landed a nice smallie. Always fun to be fishing with friends.
My fish were all camera shy , I mean not worthy of pictures but their moms probably still love them all the same.

Even the “ drum “ didn’t like me today.  But had a good day honing my skills as “ net boy “ for those two.  I’m borderline professional at it

Was gonna fish this Eve but annoyed at the launch so I left. Pull up and a guy is standing in his boat in the launch having a drink. I sit there and he does nothing. So I ask him " are you going out or in?" He says "going out, there is another launch up the road too" ......ok ahole.... So two other boats have pulled up behind me one is so big he has a wide load sign on it. So I say " well I am gonna launch here, I will pull up so you can get yours out.". He tells me it's gonna take 10 minutes......so now I'm getting a little warm and " well if you get moving then the rest of us can get out on the lake Tonite " 

So he gets his trailer for his cigar boat and is working bon loading . Meanwhile the wide load boat guy is also getting annoyed.  So he pulls out and a guy with another little race boat goes between us to the launch. Now the guy with the wide load boat is yelling at him telling him there is two ahead of him......yup I'm gone.   Back in the day I prob would've cleared the launch . Lol.  Now I'm just an old guy and get off my lawn!  I should know better....general rule for me and my fishing buddies... Fisherman off the lake by 10:30 am before the idiots come out. Lol

So took the dog swimming for the first time this year.  That was nice.

I would be too. Some people are selfish jerks. I like beer as much as the next guy,but having a line of boats behind you isnot the right time...

Yeah I should know better though. Bike night in Sylvan beach, nice night, so it's busy.  And afternoon is jet skis and tourists.  It's funny , it's like changing shifts .  In the am all fisherman and 99% good folks. Courteous at the launch and everyone knows what they are doing. Afternoon guys that can barely back the boat in and launch there jet boats and skis. And more often some pricks thrown in. We try to be off the lake by then. And a lineup of bars along the canal doesn't help.  Never been stopped put on the lake fishing. The sherriffs are too busy with Dwi s and people doing stupid things. They don't bother the fisherman.  Even the ones that have a couple beers. 

Last weekend two jet skis hit head on out by the beach about an hour after we got off the lake. Police boat had to chase one of them down for leaving the scene.
