DEC to Host Public Meeting for Proposed Otisco Lake Boat Launch The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will host a public meeting to provide information and answer questions about its proposal to develop a DEC Boat Launch Site on Otisco Lake, located in the town of Spafford, Onondaga County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Amber Fire Department, 2223 Amber Road, Marietta. Otisco is the only Finger Lake currently without a public boat launch. The Otisco Lake Boat Launch Site will be located on former Onondaga County Water Authority (OCWA) land, just south of the causeway on the west side of Otisco Lake. DEC Fisheries management activities at Otisco Lake include: Annual stocking of 11,000 tiger muskellunge fingerlings (9-10” long); Biennial stocking of 44,000 walleye pond fingerlings (1.5” long); and Routine fish community assessments to evaluate stocking success and effectiveness of fisheries regulations. Onondaga County Hatchery annually stocks approximately 2,500 2-year old brown trout (13” long). The meeting will include a presentation about the anticipated Otisco Lake Boat Launch Site project schedule, in addition to facility design and operation. DEC staff will be available to answer questions following the presentation

Has anyone tried an AGM battery for trolling motors? If you can handle the price increase in an AGM battery, they are better suited for trolling motor use than your standard wet cell batteries. Sam's club has the same AGM batteries as West Marine at about 1/2 the price: West Marine: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--dual-purpose-agm-battery-105-amp-hours-group-31--15020258?recordNum=15 Sam's Club: https://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-deep-cycle-marine-and-rv-battery-group-size-31dtmagm/prod3590232.ip?xid=plp3990105-auto:product:1:3

New Forum - St. Lawrence River | 1000 Islands Fishing Reports Hi LOU members - After many, many requests, here is the new forum dedicated to the St. Lawrence River system (all 700+ miles of it!). We fished the river this weekend out of Clayton. Water is still very high but we were able to launch and I took my girls out to drown some worms. We went through our full allotment and had some fun with sunfish. No bass, walleye or anything big to report - just enjoyed the scenery and time with the family. Will try to make it out back to next weekend for some musky fishing. Enjoy the new forum - Chad

Ouch! Had that happen to me once fishing Conesus with Mike G. 5/0 front hook through hand; 5/0 back hook still attached to 34" pike. Hook cutters saved me! Nice fish as well!
