"Bretts place on the bay" really has some great prices on thing.

What reel are you east enders putting that on? lol

Pullinzi= Good irish name. Happy Birthday Pat.

NICE!!

I would use the "minimal expansion" type Great Stuff. Its a little bit higher density and will insulate better than big gap filler.

picture?

Welcome to LOU!

Wow your old!

Legislators blow off wind project proposal http://www.palltimes.com/articles/2010/ ... 225315.txt By AARON CURTIS [email protected] Published: Thursday, March 11, 2010 9:04 PM EST The Oswego County Legislature passed a resolution Thursday that opposed the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) proposal to seek contractors to develop a Lake Ontario-based wind farm to be located near the shores of Oswego County. The resolution passed after numerous residents from Oswego County and surrounding communities spent nearly two hours addressing the Legislature, voicing their concerns with the project and, in other cases, their support of the wind farm. Representatives of the NYPA have stated that the project, known as the Great Lakes Offshore Wind Project (GLOW), would lead to the development of 120-500 megawatts of wind generation in the New York state waters of either Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. Each turbine placed within the body of water would result in the production of 3 megawatts of power, thus necessitating between approximately 40 to 170 turbines to comprise the wind farm. The project would place turbines in water levels approximately 150 feet or less, which are specifications consistent with Mexico Bay. During public comments, those in opposition of the project noted that a wind turbine farm in Lake Ontario would be a detriment to tourism, scenery and wildlife. Speakers also expressed concerns that the turbines would be made outside of Oswego County, thus providing little benefit to the local economy. Furthermore, some argued that the turbines would turn out energy that would end up downstate. “The project has not been thought through,†said Karl Williams, president of Henderson Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce. “The owner and the leader of the project is a state authority,†he continued. “They will pay no taxes, yet they are going to unleash 15 to 30 developers on your communities. They are going to make promises they can’t keep and they are going to divide you.†Some speakers noted that not enough information regarding the project has been released, and asked members of the Legislature to hold off on Thursday’s resolution. “We, in science, like to have all of the facts laid out before we come to a decision, and I don’t think we have done that,†said Dr. Timothy Braun, an assistant professor in the biology department at SUNY Oswego. “I think we should table this or kick this over to the environmental management committee to consider this a little more before we hang up a sign in Oswego that says, ‘wind energy need not apply.’†Prior to passing the resolution, Legislator Jake Mulcahey, D-Oswego, echoed Braun’s point and said that by passing Thursday’s resolution the legislative body would be performing an “injustice†to the community. “I don’t feel comfortable opposing a project that we don’t know exactly what it entails,†the legislator said. Legislator Michael Kunzwiler, D-Oswego, added that the county should seek host benefits for the project from NYPA, and pleaded with members of the Legislature to table the resolution. “This body should be encouraging and looking at ways to develop,†he said. Kunzwiler added that the project could proceed despite county officials’ desires, as Lake Ontario is considered state property. “We could vote this down today, and guess what? It could happen anyway,†he said. “So why don’t we become proactive … and set the standard and make the parameters of how we want this molded in Oswego County.†Officials of the NYPA have stated that they are looking to select a developer by the end of 2010, and as legislators opposing the project noted, tabling the resolution would not be an option. “We are in the eleventh hour of a fast-track project,†said Legislator Jack Proud, R-Mexico. “The timetables are already upon us, and decisions will be made by people that we have no control over very soon.†Proud noted that the only control that the NYPA has offered Oswego County is stating that the community does not support the initial stage of the product. “We didn’t bring about the fact that all of the information of the project has not been out,†he said. “There hasn’t been enough time to deliberate … the only thing we can do is exercise our local control and say ‘no.’†An attempt to table the resolution proposed by Kunzwiler and seconded by Doug Malone, D-Oswego Town, failed and the resolution passed with a vote of 20-4. Kunzwiler, Malone, Mulcahey, and Amy Tressider, D-Oswego, voted against the resolution. No members of the NYPA attended Thursday’s meeting.

It was really a good presentation and the folks from the DEC do a great job at it. I think the meeting could of easily been 4 hours long though and because the meeting went a little longer then planned there wasnt much time in the end for questions. It seems that the biggest problem issue between fisherman and the DEC is the Caledonia hatchery and its future to produce kings once again.

If derbys and tournaments are what it takes for anglers to show a major interest in our fishery then the more the merrier. With angler numbers and the number of angler trips falling, we need all the promotion and support we can get these days.

I have always run them up until last year. i had another one break do to dry rot so im done with them.

A disinfection solution currently used for salmon eggs also prevents transmission of the virus that causes viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) in other hatchery-reared fish eggs, according to new US Geological Survey (USGS)-led research. One of the most dangerous viral diseases of fish, VHS has caused large mortalities in wild fish stocks in the US and especially in the Great Lakes region, where thousands of fish have died from the virus over the last few years. The disease causes internal bleeding in fish yet is not harmful to humans. The virus has thus far been detected in over 25 species of fish in Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, St Clair, Superior and Ontario, as well as the Saint Lawrence River and inland lakes in New York, Michigan and Wisconsin states. Effective disinfection methods are crucial to natural resource agencies that collect eggs from wild fish stocks and private aquaculture because the spread of the virus to a fish hatchery could be devastating, said Mark Gaikowski, a USGS researcher who led the USGS and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) research team. “If VHS virus is introduced into the aquaculture industry, it could lead to trade restrictions, as well as direct economic losses from the disease,†he observed. USGS and USFWS researchers tested the effectiveness of using iodophor disinfection in walleye and northern pike eggs and found that it eliminated the active virus from fertilized eggs. Iodophor disinfectant solutions contain iodine formulated for use on fish eggs. The researchers also found that, although some disinfection treatments reduced hatch, iodophor treatment at 90 minutes after fertilization occurred did not alter egg hatch or fry development. Experts worry the virus could spread from the Great Lakes into new populations of native fish in the 31 states of the Mississippi River basin. Regulatory agencies in the US and Canada have already placed restrictions on the movement of fish or fish products that could pose a risk for the spread of VHS to regions beyond the known geographic range. The research was funded by the USGS and the North Central Regional Aquaculture Centre (NCRAC) from the US Department of Agriculture Cooperative State, Research, Education and Extension Service. The iodine used during egg disinfection was donated by Western Chemical Inc, Ferndale, Washington. Heres some good info: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3107/pdf/fs20093107.pdf

I would run any color you want as long as its black.

Too bad they are protected. The DEC is going forward with their cormorant study this year rather than waiting till next year. Without a "study" they wont address the problem. The good news is it should put the problem in the spotlight and the state and feds will act on the issue sooner.

Good book to own. it will really take some of the guess work out of fishing.

All this talk on energy is really making me more and more pro nuclear.

Dump the mono backing and use 50# power pro for backing. Like going deep said, use a haywire twist to connect copper to small spro inline swivel to connect to leader and to your backing. http://www.atommiktrollingflies.com/swivels.htm

Makes complete sense now, thanks. LOL!
