Thanks Chris.

Used to go to Buff alot when I was younger and always caught fish. The first time we were there we fished for about 4 hours and caught and kept 200+ ling. This was before they were 'game fish' so there were no limits.

I'm sure there were piles of dead and dieing ling somewhere in the nieghbourhood of 1500 - 1700 on the ice. We ate every one we kept so we didn't waste any. There was a pig farmer we talked to one day on the ice that came out once a week and filled the back of his full size 1/2 ton with the dead fish. He fed them to his pigs cause he didn't like to see them rotting on the ice. Sure is too bad that guys wasted so many in those days.

There were always good pike there as well so tipups were always fun cause you didn't know what you had till you iced it - unless it was a BIG pike.
