Tall Tails

I don't see where this is a problem.... What is not included and should be is a moratorium on windmills... notice it won't stop them, now that is the real issue here. This will not affect sportfishing. Below is the specific language. Significance of Economic Effects on Small Entities Substantial Number Criterion The proposed regulations do not regulate fishing but do prohibit damage to sanctuary resources. A similar provision prohibiting injury to cultural resources is already in existing state law, and therefore, the proposed regulations are not expected to have an effect on businesses. In 2018 and 2019, there were two active fishing licenses within eastern Lake Ontario. Although it is assumed that both fishers are small businesses, it is also assumed that the fishers actively avoid using their gillnets on or close to shipwrecks to avoid entangling or damaging their gear and to comply with existing state law. Therefore, the proposed rule will not affect a substantial number of small businesses.

We lost "Big" Dave Marks yesterday. He finally succumbed to the cancer he had been fighting. "Big" Dave was just that, his heart was bigger than he was. He was always there with a smile and even a good story to tell. He loved fishing almost more than his family. Whether it be Lake Ontario or Cayuga Lake he was always eager to wet a line. He was also a Board member of ELOSTA for the last 10 years and was always involved with our events in one way or another. On a personal note, for me he was a part of Team Tall Tails, as our observer for the last nearly 10 years. He would always tell me he loved doing it as it was "Lunch and Show". I would laugh every time he told me that. He would also do whatever he could for us whenever we asked whether it was helping move the boat down the lake or run to a tackle shop for a last minute item, we could count on him. And he would always show up with some tackle saying hey I heard this is hot right now. Dave was just a fantastic individual and the world will miss him. If you would keep Donna his wife and his whole family in your prayers right now, I know it would mean a lot to them. Thank you, Brian Garrett

Fished the Fraiser river. Ocean is to unpredictable

Yes it was a lot of fun and very different. Hired a guide.

A lot has been said about the DEC not having the "State of Lake Meeting" anymore. There new approach is to be out in public trying to do more interactive meetings to keep people informed on the Fishery. This is one of those meetings and attendance is important. You don't have to be a member to attend. Thank you Brian

Atlantic marine probably has one in stock.

2nd vote for BW customs. He is the only guy I let touch my boat when it comes to glass work. Bill and Billy are the best.

Simrad really needs to have the speed input so it knows how fast you are going. Do you have it tied in to a GPS? If not I would start there.

With the North wind tomorrow you are better off running north up by the pond. same depth of water. It will be a lot more comfortable.

Sabiki rigs. Make sure you cut one hook off so you are not over the hook point limit. Do it during the day.

I think the management plan is more like Wild fish are going to be considered in the overall biomass when making hatchery decisions. I don't see it as lowering our inputs from the hatchery Not yet anyway.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

Please join us next week June 15th for our monthly meeting at the Mexico VFW at 7pm. We will have Steve Hurst, DEC Bureau Chief of Fisheries and Chris Leggard our DEC Lake Ontario Section Head as our guests. This will be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC as always and will be a question and answer format discussion. They will also have some recent data to share with us. I hope to see you all there and please share this with family and friends!

He isnt giving them up... LOL

Simrad or Garmin is a Great choice. Raymarine has a long way to go on there fish finding capabilities. I think the one thing that separates Simrad and Garmin is the specific mapping choice for Lake Ontario. The Simrad Platinum Card has superior detail to any other brand. As far as Radar, Autopilot they are relatively the same. I love my Simrad units and I see no reason to change at all. Now I do have a stand alone Garmin for Panoptics as well so that could be another consideration.

Also make sure if it is a single bag you are running on the side of the boat the prop is spinning too. So standard rotation spinning to the starboard make sure the bag is on the starboard side. Also Ricks's suggestion of two smaller bags on each side could fix it as well.

Check around but Familiar bite has gone out of business. ATOMMIK can set you up with what you need.
