<p>Are there any connecting waters on the US or Canadian side where tigers are being stocked? Or is it possible that they traveling through the canal systems to lake Erie or the Niagara?</p>

7 niagara tigers on my boat this year, 27, 31,33,34,34,36,38. 3 last year, 27,30,46. All 10 from the east river. Makes up almost 10%

<p>We never kept an official record of tigers, although guys routinely noted when they caught one. I think the ADS would be a better indicator, because we do ask for non-musky catches. </p>
<p>I do believe that this year seems to have more tigers than most. The reasons are likely warm springs, enabling the muskies to spawn earlier - conflicting with pike spawning; and more northerns.</p>

<p>Tigers, although beautiful, are not necessarily a good sign for the musky fishery. First, they are sterile, meaning there's no reproductive benefit in releasing them. Second, although sterile, they go through the spawning ritual with natural muskies, thereby negating the natural's efforts. Third, they are a sign of a significant northern pike population, which is never good for muskies, I think.</p>

<p>Thanks for the "enjoy your time on the water", reminder. Sometimes I get too focused and don't let "it" happen. By the way, never use fluorocarbon leaders.</p>

<p>Two weeks off the water can be tough.....2 months is enough to drive a person insane. In the last week or two I have started to come to grips with not fishing nearly as much as I would like to. I think it was Ken Szymanski who best explained time off the water at the night bite tourney cookout...."Life requires maintenance". Sometimes more than other times. Enjoy your time on the water. Take pics and post reports for your fellow club members who don't have the free time to pursue the fish…</p>

Two weeks without fishing is rough, at least you got some action on the day you finally got out. We fished 1st shift yesterday, were probably finishing up as you guys started. I lost another fish boatside on a tube, missed a solid hit and had a 40 or so chase a toothy to the boat. Cullen put together another 3 fish day with a knockoff bulldawg, tube and a lil tiger on a bondy. When I got home I covered my tubes in trebles.
