Good eaters! There are 365 days in a year and this happens a few days only.

The IJC can control the Lake Ontario outflow up to a certain point. The controls on lakes Erie and Michigan could be to install construction projects to divert their outflow to various other rivers that possibly accept it.During the Ice Age Glacier time Lake Erie flowed down the Wabash River to the Mississippi River System. Really that is dreaming, we really need to live what we have. We can’t fix stupid so change to floating docks and rebuild our boat ramps . Concrete walls are destroyed by wave action along with steel piling. Only large stone breakwaters have been shown to withstand storm water damage.

The results of TU on the Wiscoy Creek is the East Koy is gridlocked with fishermen while the Wiscoy is almost unfished on the season opener period.

The Alaska salmon catch rate is you may net a salmon and you can release it from the net. If you lift the net with the salmon in it, you fill out your catch card and put your fishing pole down and sit there while the rest of the boat continues fishing. How many meals can you make with a twenty pound salmon? This would surely end the stocking complaints. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The best eating fish are brown trout. The best eggs for bait are brown trout eggs. The best fighting fish is bringing up a sixteen pound brown trout from off the bottom in fifty five foot of water with six pound test Trilene. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

60 MPH winds predicted for Wednesday. Water levels will change and shoreline damage expected. Just towing your boat trailer is hazardous.

Dead Salmon and trout unlike other fish do not float to the surface after decaying where you could count the dead fish on the surface or beaches. They become fodder for the "creepy crawlers" that inhabit the bottom mass.. Fishermen will quit traveling to the area when their catches are diminished by catch regulations. Not a lot of fishermen are "catch and release" proponents so with their participation diminished more fish will be around but the economic yield will be diminished.

Another Buffalo News story this morning on the short operating life span of the wind mills and the loss of school and property taxes to rebuild them with tax incentives. The plastic fiber glass blades have a short life span. Newer installed blades are larger and less hazard to wild life such as birds. Newer nacelles, gear boxes and generator blades, will be more efficient with technology improvements twenty years better. The present towers will be used to support the new equipment. Anyway that is what the selling promoters claim.

Numbers of out of state tourists are higher in the summer months, so count out the economic impact of running the hatchery programs.

Due to our climate change summertime demand for air conditioning has gone through the capacity of our power grid. Supplementary power is unavailable on high demand days. The black hole power demand of New York City caused transformer failures and blackouts there. Natural gas turbines can come online quickly and are there when the wind does not blow. Natural gas prices are low and if the turbines are sited at our closed power plants the waste heat could be used to fire up the boilers. With all the tax credits used to upgrade our power plants and nuclear plants being deactivated our power grid could be saved for the future. Florida power plants fire up their turbines on cold nights to heat the homes there. Come on now, we need some changes made instead of crisis decision making.

The Buffalo News reports the Lackawanna/Hamburg windmills are costing over twenty million dollars of repairs now. If they were in the lake the repair costs would be multiplied. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

This act saves search agencies a lot of time and effort searching for reported missing boaters. Mainly it saves your family time to recover death benefits since life insurance and Social Security payments are held up till death certificates are issued. In warm summer waters a body may float up in 24 hours but in winter conditions it may take 3 months to float up in the water. This puts families in financial distress. As a former Coast Guard responder I spent a lot of miserable weather in a small boat searching for missing Boaters. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

After the gale winds of November, fishing in ten foot of water is side planers only and stick baits that float up off the bottom when you stop for a snag or on inside turns. Jet divers also float up instead of lead sinkers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I noticed the gulls diving on minnows near shore. If the bait is there, so should the fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

A great view, the fish are suspended in the top twenty foot of the water column. This calls for side planers and diving plugs. Spoons off riggers work well there to avoid snagging the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Browns are not a suspended level fish. They orient to structure like the bottom. Where the thermocline and bottom intersect is the ideal area to troll for browns.

As the streams and near shore waters cool, the browns and rainbows move in. The browns move in to spawn around the end of deer season. The rainbows move in to spend the winter in the streams and spawn in the spring when the water temperatures reach 45 degrees and return to the lake. They feed on salmon eggs over the winter in the Pacific rivers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Seeing fish on the screen in shallow waters is futile. Realize your boat scares the fish away. When fishing from an anchored boat on the Deschka River in Alaska salmon traveling up stream showed up on our fish finder. Shut down your engine also. Casting Wiggle Warts and Hot and Tots worked well there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
