Ohio used to stock coho, they raised them (some of them?) at a hatchery on South Bass island. To the best of my knowledge they stopped stocking them many years ago and went to stocking steelhead. http://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/2012/d1464 Evidently that hatchery has been converted to another use? http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/stay-informed/news-announcements/post/public-invited-to-castalia-state-fish-hatchery-open-house As I understand Ohio bought a privately owned trout club years ago that was feed by waters coming from the Blue Hole and made a hatchery there for cold water species. http://www.sanduskyregister.com/Blog/2015/03/14/Unique-Cold-Creek-supports-Castalia-Trout-Fishery Cold Creek is relatively small where it enters Sandusky Bay, you can't get more than a couple of hundred feet into it with a small boat, but it has a good flow. In late May? you can notice a big difference in the temperature of the water in it and the bay. I look for those lakers to start heading east to deeper waters as soon as the water temps in the western basin start to warm up.

No problem sir, they may not have it in stock, but the ones in my area are pretty good about ordering thing for you.

LOL, sounds like a thigh thinner charging a deep cycle marine battery!

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36207807 That is unreal, good luck folks!

LOL, I want no part of being a carp dough ball!

Nice catch! http://www.barlowstackle.com/Gary-Yamamoto-Yamaminnow-2-P3097C242.aspx

LOL, that's the spirit jj! The only boat I had a stereo in was my cruiser, and since I usually shanghaied a young lady for company? there was always something else to do!

What kind of music do fish like? Do good vibrations equal more bites?

Glad to hear that Brian!

http://rapala.fishing/products/weedless-shad Swims Slowly Down on the Drop Sinking I would consider it a countdown lure? Retrieve speed will play a part in how deep it stays?

Not a bad looking lure, seems a bit on the small size for big pike? Bass lure!

I did mine at the end of my fishing season every year, never had a bearing problem on the trailer.

20# of drag is actually a lot of drag, they are only showing 15# for a Curado 300 series.

LOL hunter, I am certainly not a muskie man, but a ten ounce lure is a pretty darned good sized one!

LURE RATING 4-10 ? Is that in ounces? Or did they come up with a new way to confuse people?

You do have an advantage with cooler water temps up there, and from the few rivers I have seen that emptied into the Georgian Bay, there doesn't seem to be the problem with silt from farming activity in the spring. Our rivers have a tendency to turn brown after a rain, and it's worse in the spring once the farms have been plowed.

Just curious, is there any evidence of them having a successful spawn outside of a hatchery there?

I pulled my covered utility trailer 1250 miles to the Tampa Florida area, the things already mentioned, a spare tire for the trailer and car? Those little donut tire aren't really good for towing. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.74514,-78.8561365,9.94z There is water there, but probably a different style of fishing unless you are after bass or catfish.

I would follow Steve's advice on that!

LOL, it looks brown to me! They are a powerful fish.
