A Marathon charter captain when asked why he chooses to fish tarpon said” if tarpon were good to eat, they would net them out.” Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Lake Superior is not expected to freeze over this winter now. Every day of warm weather is one less day of freezing conditions. High winds again this weekend caused a lot of shoreline damage along with heavy rains washing debris from rivers and streams into the lake. Extra care will be needed to safely operate your boat this spring. A lot of ice fishing huts are on display now, while a couple years ago the winter supply was completely sold out nationwide.

Shrimp catch a lot of small stuff on the near shore line holes. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Off the Sombrero Reef Light, the bottom drops to 200 foot plus. Big stuff down there. Under the bridge tarpon hang there in the shade. Use crabs for bait.

I believe that their bodies were bloated with eggs and milt. There is no room for food then. As soon as they spawn they go back on the feed and head to the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That is what I said. In the streams till spawning. After 45 degrees they spawn, then leave for the lake till next fall when the streams cool down at night from summer high temperatures.The salmon return for their spawning and the rainbows are with them.

The rainbow trout shut down feeding in February, at 45 degree water they have spawned and head out to the lake waters.

It could be possible to construct an additional bypass canal around Montreal to supplement the needed flow to control Lake Ontario’s high levels. Well they could deepen or widen the river to allow greater flow rates. Charleston, SC shipping channel is now being deepened to 54 foot depth to allow Panamax ships entry to that port.

When snagging was legal, the streams were where most salmon were caught.

Texas crooks stole another one again from Buffalo. All the referees failed to blow their whistles when the player dropped the ball in the end zone and it was recovered by Buffalo as a fumble recovery in the end zone. Again the ruling was made out of sight from the public by the Texas Mafia.

39 posts, all about out flow rates. What about the Lake Ontario in flow volumes? Your concerns about out flow rates are meaningless unless you have the numbers on Lake Erie flow rates along with canals and tributary flow volumes. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Buffalo held Brady and the Pats to three field goals earlier this years. No touchdowns and that was the end of the Pats now.

Yesterday at noon time, Lake Erie water level was flowing over the Black Rock Breakwater. The normal level is about three feet lower so you can assume the flow into Lake Ontario has increased. The winds were not that high to create a seiche event but it may have been an air pressure differential from western Lake Erie near Toledo.One year the Corps of Engineers sent a water speed instrument off various areas of the Peace Bridge. It measured the highest flow speed at 8 MPH. Consider the volume of water 3 foot high and a mile across travelling at eight miles per hour and think of its additional effect on the level of Lake Ontario. Maybe the the outflow in the Seaway controls can not handle the situation as it is now.

Abandoned ghost towns are present all over the world.

Rainbow Trout winter over in the streams by feeding on salmon eggs. Salmon eggs and reproductions are the main attraction bait for stream fishermen.

Look we have to "live with it" the conditions on the lake now. Improve the boat ramps and docks that float will allow lake access.Then we can go fishing. Property and home owners made their decision to buy onto the waterfront have to make their own decisions whether to improve their shore or just wait till the lower water levels return.

When we are perch fishing with minnows, one rod per person is the best producer. Changing bait lost, resetting other lines and missing too many hits wastes bait and time. Holding a rod in your hand is better than watching for a bite on other rods. Less bait under your boat really does not hold schools of perch around. Just less hits on the hand held rod. Three rods in the water per person screws up the catch rates of other people in the boat.
