bigugli Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Got out onto the Grand today. Perfect day weather wise. Nice little chop. OPP out keeping everyone safe and lawful. Catfish being cooperative. We were dragging harnesses, so I was a little surprised by what was hitting the spinners today.

Spiel Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Lord tunder'n, I was there on Thursday Bruce and couldn't buy a Cat or a Walleye on a harness but the Sheephead were cooperating. Even drowned cut bait for a spell and still no Cats. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did well drifting for the big cats just using large lead heads with a big dew worm ....same rig as well for the walters at Cayuga . Also liked drifting the worm harnesses on a 3 way rig .

Jwl1 Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I'm surprised they where electro fishing so late....they must be trying to do a survey of sorts ...we did it for a couple weeks in late April for a few years back when I helped with the walleye stocking project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them with the prods in the water at Jordan Harbour , Lake Gibson , etc. usually always in shallow water . They took out many huge grass carp out of Gibby ......

smerchly Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Whoa !! I'd love to tangle with that brute of a grass carp . In a nutshell , this paragraph sums it up . (c & p ) n 2020, Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Asian Carp Program continued early detection surveillance for Asian carps in Canadian waters of the Laurentian Great Lakes. A total of 980 field sites were sampled at 30 locations using six gear types. A total of 61 247 fishes were caught representing 84 species. Buffalo (Ictiobus spp.) and Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) were used as surrogate species to assess the effectiveness of gear types. A total of 434 buffalo and 995 Common Carp were caught. Trammel nets and boat electrofishing were the most effective at capturing these surrogate species. An additional 69 field sites were sampled at six locations for larval fishes and eggs using bongo nets. A total of 239 larval fishes were caught. One Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) was caught during the 2020 early detection surveillance efforts; a diploid female captured in Jordan Harbour (Lake Ontario drainage). Surveillance for Asian carps will continue in 2021, with an emphasis on the lower Great Lakes where the threat of arrival remains higest . I have posted this previously but some members may have not seen it . Lake Gibson photo ,,,, Spiel and Lukefish99 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
