Where on the Lake do you boat?

I run out of Port Stanley. 16 miles gets you out to the Weather Buoy,
and man...did the finder go dark with the bait fish! There must've
been a school running through, chasing them.
There is another place I have gone, and EVERY time I have caught
fish....but thats a secret.....and its close to Port.
A few weeks ago, we caught a 17.2 pound Chinook Salmon at around 7
pm...15 miles out, 14 miles to the east.


Secret fishing places.. Hurmph, bad fisherman?? I don't mind telling
folks my fishing spots, plenty of fish there for everyone. My problem
is getting folks to try it as it is so close to the launch. Most guys
think it ain't fishin' if you have not used 30 gallons of gas For 20
years I have been outfishing the guys who go "out". BTW, my spot is
just 200 yards south of the RR bridge at Chimney point in Old
Saybrook. Anchor on the west side of the river, just off the little
island and cast toward the channel

I've been by there many times. Blues? Stripers?


And brown sharks that will give you a good fight in the middle of the
night. And once in a while a doormat sized fluke

What is a fluke as it relates to a shark, and what the heck do you do
with it? I thought a fluck referenced flatfish.

I have had some great shark steaks, but don't know if only certain
sharks are tasty.


Fluke are a kind of flatfish. We have Fluke and Flounder here. The
sharks are brown sharks and althouhg some say you can eat them "if"...
I don't like food that needs an "if" But I am told also that because
they have no bones, they are extremely difficult to clean. I have not
run into anyone yet that keeps them, but they are still fun to catch.

Most of the guys I know who eat shark steak them out...that is, they
don't filet them, they slice them like a pineapple you'd put on its
side. I don't much like the taste of shark.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, still these are skinny little mud sharks, I just let em' go and
hope they don't hang around too long. Gotta' admit. Out there at 2am
catching a couple of sharks makes you think twice about rinsing your
bloody hands over the side

Mako shark is delicious, very much like swordfish.
