FrankTheRabbit Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Regarding Rjay's comment about the salmon flesh, is there a reason for the difference in colour? I too have noticed their flesh being white from Lake O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallacio Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) The difference in the flesh colour with fish from Georgian Bay vs Lake Ontario is due to their diet. Specifically, prey items which contain carotenoids (usually invertebrates). The Salmon in Lake Ontario feed primarily on oily baitfish such as Alewife (as well as Smelt) which do not contain Carotenoids so their flesh is white and (IMO) not very palatable. Baitfish populations in Lake Huron and Georgian Bay crashed around 2004 and fish have had to switch to other food sources including invertebrates which contributes to their flesh being orange. Since they are not eating oily baitfish, they are quite tasty! Great video BTW. Talk about bumper boats out there!

12footspringbok Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Sweet video of a great event thats doable for the smaller less serious angler. That shot of the boat lights in the early morning doesn't do it justice. One has to pay attention to which direction they're trolling out there...LOL Edited to add: Good to see alot more healthy fish out there this year with lots of high teen salmon being weighed in Edited August 31, 2011 by 12footspringbok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
