    The last time I looked at a map , the Dakotas were in the US. Domestic oil. Not begging the shieks and Putin to increase production at any cost The voters sent a message at the polls yesterday. And I can only hope the liberal agenda is going the way of the Dino 🦕

    The Donald made the US self sufficient. We didn’t need imported petroleum or coal. It drove the price of crude down to historic lows The Joe took over , shut down the XL pipeline so his Ukrainian pipeline could furnish us oil fro Russia at much higher prices ( putting money in Joe and Hunters bank acts. ) Trump told the Chinese to pack it in their azz. That pissed off a lot of US corporations that have sold out for profit And Joe has 3 more years to finish the US forever

    I have fished the East end of Lake O ( Oswego to Gallo/Stoney ) since the mid 70’s In the day you could bet on the kings hitting Mexico bay in mid July And the fishing getting better and better as it got into August It has changed. The fish are definitely more scattered than I have ever seen it. The cut in stocking has played a role , but the overall size and weight have been on the decline for years. A limit catch was the rule for years. Now , it’s the exception. It’s getting harder and harder to justify the ever increasing cost of owning and outfitting a boat for the return. The out of staters that hire a charter for a day or two don’t get that we , who live here and fish every opportunity , have many thousands invested in this fishery Time will tell if it gets better or worse

    Just wondering how everyone felt about this past season on Lake O. I didn’t get out as many times as in past years The trips I made were only fair for catch rate and size for Chinook . I caught fish on nearly every trip , but it was much slower than I’ve ever experienced Didn’t get to fish the spring BT fishery , but I heard it was nearly non existent.

    He has a “ fleet” of seven boats and “ captains” for them all. Don’t get in their way , they will run you over

    Upwellings happen all year long on Lake O. We would go for a swim in the evening from our cottage , water was like bath water. Get up the next morning and jump in for a quick swim and it’s walk on water Temp in the 50’s mid July.

    I remember those days too ! The original ESLO derby and the early days of the LOC Trucks and boats backed up to 104B on Lakeview Rd. Had a real person at the shack to launch ($5.00) From our cottage on Sandy pond you could look out over the lake and see hundreds of navigation lights on boats way before sunrise I’m afraid those days are gone forever. I lost my LOC fishing partner a couple of years ago and it’s hard to get anyone to join ( too early , too rough etc. ) the stocking reductions haven’t helped the fishery. I’ve been out as many times as possible this year , caught fish on (almost ) every trip , buts it’s nowhere near what it was Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    it's about to get very expensive for this gentleman. The fuel spill alone will be in the thousands

    It looks like corrosion from contact with pressure treated lumber. Are your bunks pt? How about stringers ? You CAN’T use pressure treated in contact with aluminum. It eats it just like in your pics Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I had cannon uni troll hp’s for years. I ran 15 lb just before I moved to electric. Cranking 15 # weights from down 100 ft is a chore. You don’t want any false releases for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I’m happy as a pig in sh** that he is going. I didn’t like or vote for his father either. But this goes way deeper than any of us will ever know. He was grooming himself for the 2028 presidential nomination ( maybe the 2024 ). Somebody didn’t want that to happen. Political assassination I’m sure that the allegations are all true and probably many more At any rate bye [emoji112], Andy Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Was a lot rougher than they predicted. Only vehicle in the parking lot at 6 AM I motored out to 160 fow ( slowly). I was solo so I had to go with the seas to set up. Waves coming from SW AND SE. very confused seas I had one knock off over 150 down 85. Temp was 48. Pulled the plug at 10. To rough for solo fishing Still only vehicle in the lot when I got in Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
