Lake is 'carpeted' with Salmon- gonna be like it was a couple years back in those banner years.
Sounds good-hope so --- we will see.
Actually hope its bovine field splatter- think about all the bait breeders they have eaten.
If true we will rejoice in a good year and put off crash realities a bit longer.

I don't know if last year was a banner year, but I had my best year on the SR last year.  It was cool standing in the middle of the so-called 100 year run down on the DSR, just above the Joss hole as hundreds of salmon fought to get past me.

(not worth a new thread)
Heard that the new walkway from  town down stream quite a ways past long bridge is now being built.
Have mentioned this on the Forum from time to time after being told about its planning  a few years back by a reliable Pulaski guy.
Ongoing kinda secretive property rights of way and other hints have come up from time to time with some thinking upstream issues were involved -personally  have always felt that this was the real reason.
Has anyone up there seen it yet  ???

Just hoping the winds play nice next weekend . Today was an advisory although my friends got out yesterday and did well
The LOC tourney started friday and runs till sept 5th .It did not end yet and yes there are 3 very nice fish over 30 lbs leading , the winner will be announced when it ends

I will throw up some useless pics at some point but the adventure was , well an adventure.
We put a ton of miles on the boat. Fished in all out COMBAT , stopped counting at 100 boats, and couldn't take the mess so bailed for deep dead water to swim and try jigging lakers.
Seen fish caught in the combat zones by Oswego and the SR mouth (4 miles out ) and marked piles of inactive staging mudsharks hugging the bottom in 100 fow trying to keep in the cooler water.
We had a blast but that boat combat is worse then the town pool on Columbus day.
I'm gonna pass on this holiday weekend as I can only think it will be 10 X's worse and give it one las go for 6 days straight in 2 weeks then pull the plug on the Great Lake for the season..
 
Jack,
there were BOXES & BOXES of fish being cleaned at the marina's for those that battled the boats .. We marked LOTS of fish hugging bottom, I hope some make it up to the secret spot ..
 

When the water cools in  week or so they will run to the "secret spot" and I'll be there playing with them.

From the river - trib reports of salmon this season ,,, guess I was way off ..
It truly was a struggle on the lake all summer . Turned to combat in late August but seems the salmon RAN in late September ...
Humm .. Must be I still suck out there and much to learn yet ...

Seems the fish made the change to non-feeders early but stayed out deep, they were not around the piers around Labor Day, and when they ran many went right from deep water to the falls.  It was not just you most lake guys reported pretty poor September results.

A few captains were out on the lake til early October with their best days being then. Things seemed to really light up on the lake around mid september. With late sept. And early oct. Being the highlight. This is turning out to be an excellent season for all of the tribs.
Tuna, I was stabbing to get you back up with the boat, should've tried harder :D lol

Really makes one wonder if the two bad winters of 14 and 15 played part in the late coming of the run
