Much needed as we saw first hand what amazing things that hatchery does with what little they get. That being said it's funny how they magically came up with money for this. A few years ago they were running the DEC with a skeleton crew becasue there was no money to hire. Last I checked our state is still running at or near a deficit? The timing is perfect. You just have to wonder if this is to try and smooth out some of the harsh back and forth from the recent regulation proposals?

Yes, ditto what FishingFool34 said.

New Steelhead Open Lake Fishing Reg Update
Yankee Troller replied to reelxite's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Then where did it come from? Help us fight against it then. As for the comment above about never seeing a limit of Steelhead on a charter rack. You wont, becasue lake anglers don't target them like that. This reg wont help or hurt anything to be honest, so why bother going through the process to pass it? It's no different than the money wasted on these stupid impeachment hearings. To be honest it's just the fact we keep getting the short end of the stick on the lake while the DEC keeps making it better for trib anglers. First we dealt with a size increase from 18" to 21" Our lake limit went from 5 to 3 Caledonia Hatchery closed 3 stocking cuts since the 90's Lake clubs raised money to start and run pen programs, but the state magically finds $100,000 for the trib guys pen projects I hear rumors of an Atlantic pen program in the SR This newest regulation against lake guys Lake Trout stocking targets have been missed for many years Coho stocking targets have been constantly missed -

Saltist 50 and be done. You don't need line-counters for junk rods, so toss out the akward line-counter position argument and they are the best reel you can buy for what we do. Buy it once and be done rather than a competitors reel you have to put drags in. We're running Saltist on our charter boat that are 7/8 seasons old with more use than most rec anglers will put on them and they are still awesome with little to no maintenance ever done on them.

New Steelhead Open Lake Fishing Reg Update
Yankee Troller replied to reelxite's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Take the angler effort from Salmon season in the tribs (August-October) away and I'd be interested to see how the Steelhead angler effort matches up to the lake angler effort. These anglers aren't there for Trout, but if they get one you better believe it's going on a stringer. Take away the trib Salmon crowd and the $$$ spent by trib anglers to impact local towns goes way down. Most Steehead anglers are shopping on-line for their gear, and if you look at the median age for that crowd they aren't forking over money for hotel stays. -
Check out Rochester Reel Repair. I know he's backin' up with work, but if you're in the Rochester area he's the guy. If you're near Buffalo Tony's Rod and Reel Repair is pretty good too.

I don't know what you'd gain going from Medium Chirp to Low Chirp. For the fishing I do CHIRP doesn't help me so I haven't pursued it.

Depends on what kind of fishing you do. If you troll Salmon, Trout, and Walleye you are actually losing more than your gaining going to this transducer. Your B60 in low frequency gives you a 45 degree cone angle. The B175 in Low or Medium gives you < 25 degrees. You're essentially cutting your sonar cone in half which will result in you not seeing as much. The B175 CHIRP ducer really comes into play when your jigging up fish, or looking to separate out fish hugging bottom.

DEC Announces Lake Ontario Fisheries Public Meetings
Yankee Troller replied to L&M's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I agree, or at least increase it for a few years. They keep trying to manage the alewife with cuts, but what's going in now isn't affecting the adult alewife for a couple of years. We need to take more of the big ones out now. The problem is the charter fleet doesn't want that for a few reasons. I feel they think when they knock it back down to the limit we have now it would be bad PR for the lake. Also, guys run multiple trips a day and when they get done with a limit of 3 silvers they can go in early. To each their own, but some communication with your clients and this can all be hashed out. We should also look into increasing Lake Trout limits. -

We've installed them at Krenzer Marine for a customer. They seem to like them.
