    A winning charter boat operator uses large double boards to let out up to ten lines. He said this increase his catch rate immensely. Smaller boards have tangles. He trips his lines using red rubber bands and shower curtain hooks with electrical clips and lets the fish drift back clear of the other lines and brings them in in line with the open space off the stern. More lines out keep you fishing when you go through a school of fish.

    All the perch caught in Lake Erie through the ice this winter are full of baby gobies. Now who predicted that? No emerald shiners?

    Be aware that if the ice bridge lets go, you may be trapped in the lake for a time.

    A satellite photo of the Lake Erie ice coverage showed only fifty per cent ice coverage yesterday. Warm water will be flowing from the Welland Canal, Port Dahlousie and Niagara River sooner than expected. Get ready .

    I hook my Otter Boards up to my riggers. Face them forward and they are handy to hook up to. No problem sliding lines out. Great to pull the board in by just flipping a switch. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    There are some times clear water under the muddy surface water. Brown trout like the hiding place there. I have seen good catches come from there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Tohatsu makes almost all major brand 9.9 motors, Only the cover, paint and stickers are different.

    I have used rollers now for fifty years. When rough seas and calm lake waters are present I set the trailer up with only the first rollers in the water. I walk out to the boat on my trailer on its planks to hook up my power winch cable and pull from there. The boat always comes on straight if it is balanced on both sides. When launching I stop before the wheel bearings go under water and the boat rolls off easily, the boat is aluminum.

    A good point to remember is your VHF radio works fine on listening mode but when you transmit it requires an eight gauge marine wire to put out full transmitting power.

    An etching primer for bare aluminum, then if the area is for moored boats, an underwater aluminum primer is needed also. Then bottom paint is next. Deck paint can be used for air exposed areas.

    Test the compression first dry, then squirt some oil in the cylinder and test again. A major change would indicate ring or cylinder damage.

    Our DEC Biologists have been saying this for years but opposition is always present.

    I just picked up my 27H from Tony. Very reasonable. Note that Tony is the factory repair repair person for Minn Kota bow mounted trolling motors that are popular now with the “spot lock” system for anchoring your boat. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Lake Erie is having a super walleye fishing experience this year, so stay home and all the walleye you need are here for a cost a lot better.

    The "old timer" gunsmiths made quality firearms. Then the business types took over management and took shortcut production methods. The result was guns that did not meet the quality standards formerly held by the "old timers'. Not only Remington but all manufacturers suffered so if you are out shopping, buy an older model used gun that performed for years not the new crap being produced today. Just because it is new means nothing.

    Look all the upper lakes are high now and this will come through Lake Ontario eventually.

    Now that rifles are legal for deer hunting in most counties of New York, shotgun purchases probably dropped off here.

    It is what it is. This story came from the Financial reporters who comment on the stock market and its difficulty.

    You who elected Trump are the culprits who caused this. When Obama and his gun law history created paranoia among the owners who hoarded more guns but now stopped purchasing more guns feeling more secure with Trump in office. Yes I voted for Trump but if Hillary was elected guns and ammo sales would have picked up.

    Every sewer district in New York State has sewage releases during high flow situations. This was admitted to by Governor Cuomo as he said we do not have the taxpayer funds available to stop it.

    Spring cold water fishing the light spoons work best at two MPH or less. After the waters warm up the heavy magnum spoons work best at three and a half MPH trolling speed. Dodgers may not work with them though.
