Playing around in the Shallows of Lake Ontario

I remember some monster browns always on the leaderboard when I used to fish the St.Catharunes Game and Fish derby as a kid with the oldman.,

hopefully I can get into something Saturday, Bill's convinced me to give err the old shot.

 

Never caught a brown in my life, so it should be interesting.

Awesome afternoon on the water!! Warmth and a bunch of fish in April, tough to beat that!

i've been lucky enough to be shown the photo of the 30lbs brown caught over easter weekend.

 

i'm not going to comment on the size in the photo, because photo's can be deceiving, but the fish was massive....by far the biggest brown i've seen since our big one in 2011.

 

it does look as big, if not bigger, than our 24.5lbs brown.

 

there are some big browns on our side (the US side, all the browns get kept and eaten, but at least on our side, they seem to get released....now if steelhead anglers could stop raping the females for eggs....we'd really see some big browns).

[BillM]

You'd see more and more big browns if they actually had food to eat and a place to spawn.

[Steve]

well, browns are prolific feeders...they eat a wide variety of food sources.

 

but yes, more spawning grounds would be great.....so would allowing them to spawn at current spawning area's without .... well .... nevermind

Without getting pinned up on the kill boards by the charter guys? I thought that's what you were going to say :)

I'm glad we're both getting a laugh out of this, lol! If you see a white Lund off Weller this weekend, give me a wave I'm hoping to get the gf into some greasy lake trout. Some bonus browns would be great as well (Although I don't know if I'm going to haul down the planner boards/mast)

You have a PM.
