    All four upper lakes are forecast to be above average levels but Lake Ontario is forecast to be slightly above average level till June. US Army Corps news release.

    The accelerator pump in the carburetor is now twenty six years old the rubber could be deteriorated. Look to see a squirt of gasoline in the throat of the carburetor when you open the throttle. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Lake Superior is now three inches below its record high level. It will be here sooner or later. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Vessels underway with autopilot engaged do not see you.

    Right of Way is a Rule, not the law, You are required to take action to avoid a collision. Just do not stand there and let it happen.

    Parking at Sodus Bay is a gridlock. Plows, school buses and emergency vehicles are blocked out. Police, residents and other fishermen are irate. Use a UBER to drop you off if you go there.

    I have a set of Cabelas light weight rain gear. Fine in the rain, better yet they pack up in two small bags that take up little room in the boat.

    The carburetor has an accelerator pump that enriches the fuel mixture when you go from using the idle jet to the high speed jet. Look in the throat of the carburetor and move the throttle linkage. A squirt of gasoline must be seen when you pump the throttle. If none is seen, hesitation and stalling happens. The pump could be replaced. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The niagarafishingexpo.com site under education and seminars has all the seminars listed. Most of them are free and when you get there just walk in if there is room. Watch for the "Click list for seminars" and a full schedule is there.

    Lake Superior remains eight inches above average levels now. Last year at this time it was thirteen inches above average level. This is not really good news for Lake Ontario levels yet.

    Floating docks are the answer now. Waiting for politicians or God to make you happy is useless.

    There is an outboard bracket that has an electric steering control so you can fish from the stern of the boat using a belt fob to steer your kicker. It really helps when you are single fishing.

    The problem at 39 degrees water is decay of biologic dead material consumes the dissolved oxygen on the bottom during long ice periods with low stream flows, lack of surface wave action and snow cover on the ice preventing sun light to penetrate to have photosynthesis producing oxygen in the water. Fish in order to survive suspend in slightly higher oxygen areas but their metabolism is slowed and things do get better when rainfall and snow melt bring fresh dissolved oxygen to the lake's waters.

    My take on alewife winter kills is areas of low depleted dissolved oxygen water up well due to offshore winds and the alewife perish.

    The Great Lakes Basin receive most of its water from tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico.

    The hydro power is worth millions of dollars every minute and the control boards are their stooges. They will hoard every drop of water they can to produce revenues all year long. Then the political powers will take credit for cleaner air. Mean while the "Grid" imports power from coal mining states like Pennsylvania and Ohio to replace power from closed down New York State power plants.

    My problem with fishing Lake Erie in New York waters is my freezer is so full of perch and walleye flilets, I have no need to take any more,

    Last week Germany received one hundred per cent of its electric power from wind power turbines and storage batteries. The world is changing.

    After Lake Erie has an ice off, the flume of warm water entering Lake Ontario turns on the salmon and trout. Wilson Harbor is twelve miles from the Niagara Bar where the warmer water enters the lake. The flume usually travels along the shoreline with generally prevailing SW winds. Olcott Harbor is six miles East of Wilson and benefits from the early warmer water. Both harbors have good marinas, good fishermen and plenty information on the necessary local knowledge.

    When the surface water temperature passed 55 degrees, the walleye bite is on. Do not count on a calendar date. If the Lake does not freeze, things will start up. If you need a calendar date, June 1, is good for waters east of Sturgeon Point. After July 4th, the action moves to Silver Creek. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    After the ice flows out of Lake Erie , the warm water from all the way in Ohio hits Lake Ontario at the Niagara Bar. With a rise in the salmon’s metabolism caused by the warmer lake water the bite starts there. Also any warm water source flow into the lake will turn on the bite. Rivers, streams, roadside ditches all contribute to good fishing. Pay attention to your surface water temperature readings is important. Offshore winds blow the warmer waters offshore and cold water upwellings replace the warm water and the salmon and trout move off shore with the warm water.

    General Electric built and installed its 25,000th wind turbine in Northern Germany last month. My father told me that the smoke from Bethlehem Steel means money for the area. Well the smoke is gone and the rest of the world deals with it by building wind farms. Meanwhile the USA falls behind economically every day. New York State shut down our coal burning power plants but secretly buys power from coal burning plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Our youth have a grave future coming.
