In Topic: Can anyone recommend a 10lb and 30lb fishing line?

21 August 2019 - 10:27 AM

30lb braid is the way to go on a spinning reel if you want to use it for a wide variety of applications, just change the leader and you are good to go for everything from salmon to perch. Its all preference, some guys like to jig lakers using 6lb leaders and end up fighting a 15lb fish for a half hour. I use 10lb leader and get the same fish in the boat and released within 5 minutes. I don't get any added enjoyment from the risk of fighting a fish on light line to the point of exhaustion but that's just me.

Unicorns swimming around in good numbers already. 30fow down 20ft...

 

I'm seeing a good percentage of reports with Atlantics in them. It doesn't matter though, discussing Atlantics is more partisan than politics.

I saw posts from several charter boats complaining on Facebook about catching them last year. Charter boats are getting them, pier casters are getting them and river anglers are getting them. Every year the numbers have been going up.

 

In addition to that the Kings had record setting catch rates in 2017 so i'm not sure what the complaining is for? It is estimated that 50% of the Chinook in Lake Ontario originate from natural production so it is actually better for the fishery to scale back on stocking to see if Natural reproduction can take over. 

 

Also, alewife numbers are down which is the major reason stocking of Chinook salmon has been reduced. Even the US have been cutting back stocking numbers over the past few years and they are now stocking 40% less than they used to. 2018 was a good year for alewife and they hope to bring stocking numbers back up after the alewife rebound. Of course the internet is full of science deniers who say they saw lots of bait on their sonars so that is conclusive evidence in their mind that there is no issue with the alewife population.


In Topic: Please help me to reach out good fishing spot in Kingston??

Creating memories with grandparents is not easy, in case if we don't live nearby. One way to create memories is by taking grandparents for an outing for a day or more. My grandparents are living in Kingston, which is away from us. We used to visit them only once in a month since my parents don't get time to meet them. By next week I will start my vacation. So I have decided to spend a few days with them. I am also planning to go for an outing with them. Traveling with their grandchildren helps to keep their mind fresh and young. I was thinking out which spot should I choose to make me happy. After thinking a long time I have decided to choose fishing. Is there a good fishing spot in Kingston? I have never tried fishing .Please shed some light on it"

 

Might be too late for this trip but from the sounds of it with your lack of experience as well as elderly and young companions you should look into going out with a charter boat. It is comfortable and you don't have to worry about anything other than reeling in fish. There is lots of charters out of the area, look for one with washrooms on board with lots of room to accommodate the whole family.

Too bad the show was cancelled, Pacific Warriors did a pretty good job at showing what SOT kayaks are capable of. I feel much safer in my SOT kayak than I would in a smaller 15' aluminum boat that is much easier to sink when it takes on water.
