    The gurry and intestinal fluids are also unsanitary. The live well keeps your fish contaminated also. Drain the fish in a bucket separate from your catch.Put your catch in a ice filled cooler, especially during hot summer surface water temperatures. Those livewell temperatures then is like making soup out of your catch.

    Right now flying to Alaska requires a 14 day quarantine lockdown. Whether you are going to work on a fish boat or are a 40 year resident as my brother, plan on doing nothing for a couple weeks and an additional place to stay for that time.

    I accumalated half of a bushel of old flares. One Fourth of July I tried to fire some off. A lot of older flares the twist off igniter would not open even with vise grips. Besides being a hazardous condition, be aware that the old flares are unusable.

    Check out "You Tube" for commercial fishing salmon boats on the West Coast for their handling methods.

    Pacific commercial trollers have a bleeding drain box overboard on the side of their boats. Landed salmon are immediately bled out and the blood and other gurry go back into the water without contaminating fresh caught fish. The gurry comes from internal intestines. Ice is quickly used to immediately cool and preserve the fish quality. The better quality fish boats will dip the fish in fresh water and then a blast freezer unit seal the fish in a solid ice coating. Better quality restaurants pay top dollar for fish handled this way.

    Thirty miles of Southtowns Lake Erie access for the public use is lost now. The Hamburg Town Ramps are for hamburg residents only and it sands up quickly.

    Emerald shiner minnows are better than goldens imported from southern states. Selling emeralds is screwed up due to a "virus" deal concerning the transportation of emerald shiners. They can be taken in most Lake Ontario harbors now that have surface water temperatures up to 50 degrees F.

    I had three boats with tig weld repairs. Two of them were old Starcrafts that had cracked chines from too much weight on the gunwales. The repairs were simple and fine. The Crestliner was in an automobile accident where the dealer sent it back to the factory. It returned good as new.

    About 8:00 AM the sun rises high enough to drive the near shore fish deeper. At 50 foot they will be hiding from the sun's rays especially on a "bluebird sky" day. They will return to shore areas as nightfall returns.Overcast skies help.

    When you are perch fishing, a single hand held rod out fishes the rods sitting in a rod holder. You lose less bait and do not waste more bait and time rebaiting the other rods.

    The reading from Weather Buoys are about a foot short. As the wave passes the buoy the peak does not float the buoy completely giving the false reading transmitted to the weather agencies.

    The Mayor lost his power to appoint his political parasites to toll collector jobs.

    I watched a boater sink his truck at a ramp. As the boat was pulled up on the end of the trailer, the hitch on the truck was lifted up and the parking brake was useless and the whole rig went into the drink. Parking brakes on the rear axle are not good enough, a driver with his foot on all the brakes is better.

    Coyotes patrol my streets at night. They even clean out the feral cats free ranging dogs.

    Roller trailers are not drive on or float on deals. Put your first roller under water and hook up your winch cable and start the bow on the first roller . Winch the boat straight up on the trailer to the stop. Trying to float it on is the worst thing you can do.

    Load youtube, thousands of fishing videos such as TCS, More videos pop up then. Google up "you tube" and spend less, a lot less.

    Thousands of deaths now are not considered corona related since the test for the virus was not done. This cover up was done to protect our political leaders and their heads in the sand incompetence.

    Before I spend thousands of dollars for the electric motor, I will anchor up. It has worked for decades now and I have caught tons of perch. I will drift if it is too windy to steer the boat. People should get their head straight before they throw their money away to win a stupid bass contest for fish they do not eat.

    Some State launches with no employee on duty are open. This is to protect employees first. Some employees closed their launches with barricades to protect their jobs.

    Our USCG boats in Alaska had engine antifreeze heaters also. This kept our engines warmed up to prevent freezing, easy starting, lessens cylinder and ring damage and emergency response operation. The sea water which was salty did not crack the pumps, heat exchanger, exhaust manifold cracking and piping. Our larger vessels water sections were filled with oil but that was outlawed. Today an air compressor pushes the water out of the systems with vent fittings showing a lack of water and closing them up to keep them with air. When the sea chest showed air bubbling out, then things were accepted as ice free.

    It seems that no public employee is not collecting money it is safe to use it yourself. But some boat ramps are barricaded by someone! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Critical infrastructure includes: “Fishing, including persons engaged in subsistence fishing and in the fishing industry including the fisherman, processors, guides, and transporters of the fish as well of those under contract with the fisherman, processors, guides, and transporters for provisioning,” the state has said.

    If the"Person in charge" type sees boaters violating the separation order rule, he can shut the launch down. Think about it now.
