misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) This thing was huge. I have only caught them like 3-4 inches. This one was a good 6"-7" and fat. It wasnt the only one, but thought I would post this one. The jig is 1", so you be the judge. Might even be longer then 6"-7 ". How big can these things get?

OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_goby " Round gobies range in length from 4 to 10 inches (maximum of 9.7 inches (24.6 cm), and in weight from 0.176 ounces to 2.816 ounces, increasing as they age. Male round gobies are larger than females. " It's been 10 years or so since I fished, but never saw one that big, is that from Simcoe? Looks like a decent meal for a walleye or steelhead.

Yes Paul, Simcoe. It,s the Barrie Marina. You can see many of them in the smaller size every where. I was very surprised at it,s size and fattness.

OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 All the ones I saw on Lake Erie seemed to be between 3-5 inches long, but I am sure there had to be bigger ones around Brian. I have no clue, does Simcoe have access to the great lakes for fish to migrate? Or were those from carelessness with a bait bucket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) You can head from lake O and get to simcoe doing the trent system. If Im not mistaken, it,s do to the bait bucket brigade and also from boats transfering unwashed. Im not 100% on this, but have also heard they have been here longer then we know, just that we are seeing more and more of them now. I know on Erie they are stupid crazy. Probly why they brought out the plastic goby baits to use there, and why slammers work so well on Simcoe for bass on a drop shot rig.LOL Edited June 5, 2015 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Jewel_Bait_Sculpin/descpage-JS.html#multiview those worked well on Lake Erie, never used a slammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was given a bag of trixys when I first fished it. They worked great. When I fished the next day, the pro used a goby style bait and did well. He did, not me.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
