Fishing Report - 9/17

[Scott McKee]

Fished my usual spots from UN1 to UN13.  Absolutely trucking nothing!  We didn't even get a perch follow.  I suck.

[Stephen Glassic]

Sounds like one of my fishing reports.

[Tony Scime]

I started with good intentions today. I brought my usual muskie gear and, just for the hell of it, a couple bass rods and a few bags of gulp minnows.

I started out casting monster tubes. Nothing. I trolled the east river to the Grand Island Bridge. I got tired of the weeds.

Well, blame it on my nephew who I took bass fishing last week. Or on McKee for all those bass reports. Or on the muskie gods who have  been quite stingy to me lately. I heard that the bass fishing could be pretty good near the bridge, so what the hell. I'd take a few drifts. Or twenty or so. I caught a lot of fish. Mostly smaller, but a few 17 to 17.5s. It was fun.

Before quitting I ran up to above Strawberry where my nephew and I had luck last week. Only caught a few more, but one I had in the net I think was 19ish, but it jumped free before I could measure it. The next one I caught was a solid 18.5. I used to think that the lake fish were thicker than the river fish. But I don't think that anymore. These 17s to 20s have some girth, too.

I'll dedicate myself to musky fishing again in October and November.

Now I have to take Jon bass fishing to ease his pain.

Good Day

How many fish have you guys caught???

I "DO NOT" want to hear any gripeing from you two.

I bet you two have more fish then the entire club???

Maybe...

I am going to the Olcott piers. They caught 4 x20 lb Kings, 2 Browns, 1 nice Bow for Dawn Patrol this morn. Seemed like everyone but ME???

Tomorrow, Tomorrow there is always Tomorrow...

Stay away from my kings!!

[Scott McKee]

If Jojo leaves your kings alone, you can't even look at or think about his Huntley.

[John Pensyl]

I fed those kings pellets in the pens and caught every pike I could on shimmering shad baby draiders to teach them that smolts bite back so they should stick to perch. Those kings are reserved for my Cleos until they reach Burt where they belong to oosers! I do my best each night to not let any in but a few always sneak by.

[John Pensyl]

I'll put in a good word for you tonight jojo because you must have done the same for me with the huntly muskies Saturday night. Just remember these aren't muskies, salmon like it rough. Slam them on the concrete and bleed em out, if they r hens make sure to slice them open and steal their treasure. Saves them from the help that awaits them at the dam.

Good Day

John I have participated and been a member of LOTSA longer then I have been in the NMA.  I fed the fish for years but work has gotten in the way lately, I should get back at it. One year at Youngstown I saw a  nice Musky drueling at the young Kings. Another year I got film of some Musky spawning next to the pen, doing the hip shake. The Olcott  pier is on my list of my favorite  places to fish, of all the paces I have fished in North and South America. It takes a back seat only to a  Blue Marlin spot " the Ups and Downs" and my favorite bridge along "Tarpon Run" , both in the lower Keys. I have been fishing the Pier since 77,( when were you born)? Probably over 500 times?  To me it is "Pure Fishing". No help just you and a freight train. No boat, no motor, no sonar, no down riggers, no chasing, NO MERCY. All you baby. I have never had a Musky pull a split ring or take out 100 feet of line. When you hook a King all you can do is hold on and losen your drag, they are trying to pull you off the pier everytime. You can have some Kings, but the  pier is MINE???

This morn they had 7 before sunrise. I saw a hundred? jumping but not a nip . YET...

All my dogs are named after Salmon; Chinook ,Coho, Keta, Chum, Sockeye, Bull, Brook,

Sea Run, River Run, Nerka. The Musky will have to fight for a name from me?

I wish I did not need to sleep. I would live on the Pier all September.

See ya out there. I will be back out on the East Side of Town ( east pier) Thursday  dark and early. Good luck.

Scott..what's the rod & reel rig you were using?  Looked like a good rig.

[Scott McKee]

For what? I fish nine combos just about every time I'm out.

[John Jarosz]

for casting plugs.  I don't cast for muskies at all but I'd like to get into bait casting for them.  Right now I'm strictly a troller (weaned on trolling by my dad) and I'm doing all the homework I can.  thanks much

How much money do you want to blow?
