Yes, once the western and central basins are open and start warming up, sometimes all it takes is a couple days of E/NE wind and the bulk of the Eastern Basin Ice gets pushed west and dissolves in the warmer water. With the entire lake pretty much locked up this year, we'll just have to see how that progresses.

Paul, didn't you guys do that to Toomey?

Utter Superstitious nonsense. Though, Paul Czarnecki would dispute that most vehemently, Right Jimmy??

Hard to tell from a picture. The second pic, immediately under the shot of all of them, kind of look like southport slammers, but the blank looks a little too wide at the bottom The one below that could very well be northport nailers. no idea on the next one, pretty sure I've seen those before, but no idea what they are last pic are R&R's, but that line of spoons is no longer in production.

One of the annual “Rites of Spring†for the Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) is the Olcott Pen Rearing Project. Now in it’s 10th year of existence, this project has successfully reared over 560,000 Chinook Salmon and Steelhead Trout. These Salmon & Trout are major contributors to the excellent year around Fishery enjoyed by anglers fishing from the Lake Ontario Ports and Tributary Streams in Niagara County. At the recent “State of the Lake†meeting in Lockport, the DEC reported from their first year of data from their Salmon study, Pen Reared Salmon survive 70% better than the Salmon they direct stock into our tributary streams. The DEC also reported that Anglers have experienced 11 consecutive years of excellent Chinook salmon fishing. The LOTSA team working on the pen project will be prepping the Pens that hold the fish and putting them in the water on Saturday April 5th beginning at 830 am at the Town of Newfane Marina. Once the Fish arrive, they will need to be fed 5 times a day (7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm) for at least 3 weeks. The Fish are then released, pens removed from the water, nets cleaned and everything put away for next year. Anyone who would like to help with any of these tasks can show up at the Marina on April 5th (bring your side cutters) or signup to feed at the LOTSA web site (www.lotsa.org). Thanks, Tim

Yes, those are the stock plugs on the Scottys now. Those are on my 2116's. The older style plugs that came on my 1116's back in 2003 were no problem, but I really like the twist locking feature on these. Tim

We received the following from Bill Hilts Jr. the other day. It looks like the pro windmill in the Great Lakes People are not giving up. It looks like we have taken over the lead by a small margin, but still should go and vote. Not sure it'll make any difference, but we need to make sure our voices are heard. PLEASE VOTE "NO" IN POLL (Pro-wind winning @ 70% as of 9 PM 3/19/14): "Do you support plan to build wind turbines in Lake Erie?" (1/2 way down on right side within article) Thanks! http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/03/proposed_lake_erie_wind_farm_c.html#comments Please pass on to all your contacts!
