Your son is pure magic. I've got to listen to him call sometime.

So, I know a little bit about sushi, having spent a year of high school in Japan. Actually, sushi is what you call it when it's on top of lightly vinegared rice, rolled in seaweed. Simple raw fish is sashimi. Raw fish cut up and cured with lime juice is ceviche, which is in a world of its own. Bahamas, baby! That having been said, although there are parasites in both fresh and saltwater fish, the real problem is that freshies harbor some nasty bacteria. And bacteria are not destroyed by freezing. My advice is that you avoid salmon sashimi while on the lake. If you do decide to indulge, can I have your boat?

Keep the faith, Matt. I've been out the last five days in a row after not turkey hunting for thirty years. It's been up and down, but today rotted. That snow came just as we were leaving. I've seen a couple of birds and Tommy shot a nice tom yesterday, but nothing has come into my calling - unsurprising, since I likely sound like a wounded groundhog. But I get how this can be addicting. The birds will come. There are better days ahead.

Finger lakes - Seneca, Canandaigua, Keuka, Cayuga - Lake Fork plastics on a dropper rig, for smallmouth-size perch (but fewer than Erie).

Rainbow. There used to be some good ones in there, and a decent spawning run, too.

Love him, and hug him, and call him, "George".

Stepped outside onto the icy walk this morning and got my @ss handed to me. The entire next week looks like a wash.

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell Does that mean that having doubts makes me wise lol? Cause my order for a crystal ball is still sitting in an Amazon warehouse somewhere. You are 100% right that we're in new territory. But more importantly, will this dang NE wind ever quit?

Can't win.

I agree with you 100% - information is powerful. Whether we agree or disagree, we should all make informed decisions.

D&C is behind the times. There's a new story in today's paper about how they're open. The Syracuse link is based on "outdated" guidance from last Wednesday lol. They are definitely open.

I'm stoked that we can launch boats legally now, but I don't automatically think that my individual freedoms supersede societal responsibility. With its magnitude and the constantly changing situation...I wouldn't want to be in charge. No matter what, folks are going be pissed at you.

Now that's lucky!

Well...according to guidance from the State, all launches and access points, private or public, are closed to recreational boating. That would seem to include just about everywhere. Now, I'd be lying if I said that the launch on Canadice looked closed this afternoon, or that I didn't see a bunch of kayak fishermen. But there were trailers in other, more popular launch lots as well, and you know for dang certain that they're closed. So you've got to ask yourself - do you feel lucky?
