I’ve caught too many fish to count using long lines. I use neutral buoyancy stick baits ( husky jerks ) to stop the problem of snagging bottom. A lot of early spring fishing is done in 5 ft of water -
We fished before boards were introduced. I fish the Eastern end of the lake. Oswego harbor to nine mile pt. Was our stomping grounds loooong lines are key. In shallow water the boat spooks the fish , so very long ( 150-175 ) lines are necessary. Good luck

All very interesting answers. I agree that Brandon is an inept , probably demented , total disaster. But we can put our money where our mouths are. I just sent a healthy donation to a BBB accredited Ukraine relieve website. I’ll buy less tackle and fuel if it means helping these poor refugees . The US should open its borders to these displaced women and children. Brandon doesn’t mind the illegal immigrants from our southern border. Let’s give these people a home. Temporary or permanent. And it’s time to think about stopping Putin before it’s too late. He doesn’t seem to fear radiation ☢️

That “big rich company “ is assemblyman Will Barkley. He went to court and got a ruling that he owned 2.5 miles of prime fishing water on the salmon River because he owned property on both banks of the river , he owned the bottom of the river It is trespassing to wade the river in this stretch He is making a fortune charging to fish , what I maintain is public fishing If this Pay for access continues , fishing will be limited to those that can afford the fees. The rich get richer. No one should “own” a stream. -

Queen Elizabeth To Eat Lamprey Pie Made From Great Lakes Fish By David Moye 04/27/2012 02:54pm EDT | Updated June 1, 2012 -
I let them suck onto my arm. My buddies wife was going over the side when I yelled “it’s got me “. We caught her just in time. Seriously, the blood and slime are toxic to humans. Wash your hands after handling / cutting them into little chunks I’ve heard of people eating them. No thanks

Hope he is “ just temporary “

Just an update. The deals are out there if you look. I just received my Garmin echomap uhd 73cv AND a 50/200 dual frequency transducer , for under $600 for the pair and that includes shipping and tax. Thanks for all the input and advice

Well here’s the final word on the subject. Pay the price or do without Legal Status of Minimum RPM In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court held that minimum RPM arrangements are per se illegal when a manufacturer agrees with retailers on a minimum retail price.[19] A loophole was created in 1919 when the Court allowed manufacturers to unilaterally impose minimum RPM, provided there was no agreement with retailers. In what is known as the “Colgate Doctrine,” the Court noted that antitrust law, in particular the Sherman Act, “does not prevent a manufacturer engaged in a private business from announcing in advance the prices at which his goods may be resold and refusing to deal with wholesalers and retailers who do not conform to such prices.”[20] Passed in 1890, the Sherman Act was the first U.S. federal antitrust statute. It was designed to promote competition by limiting the monopolistic restraint of trade and certain types of monopolization of markets.

I’ve caught lots of them ice fishing at Oneida lake and at Sandy pond. We would just leave them in the ice as unwanted by catch. One day an old guy told us they were good to eat, just take the meat from the vent back. He lied . by the way. We called them lings

We’ll see. The FTC has taken the complaint and given me a case number. The AG has not gotten back to me yet. The minimum selling price cannot be set by manufacturer or distributer
-
You are very wrong. Manufactures can SUGGEST a retail price. They cannot set a minimum price. That’s price fixing and is against the law. I work hard for my money and will not sit by and let unscrupulous manufacturers and distributers get away with breaking the law. The free enterprise system should dictate prices , not some greedy manufacturer If I want to sell a product below suggested retail , that’s my business. If a manufacturer penalizes me for it , that’s the FTC’s business. My gear and boat have already been maintained and are ready to go , thank you

Here is a topic for discussion. I’d like to hear everyone’s take on this. I have been in search of a certain electronics upgrade since the end of the fishing season. I searched every venue , local , online , large and small marine suppliers , and the manufacturer's web site ( I’m not naming names at this time ) the price was invariably the same all over. Ok. I’ll wait for black Friday or cyber Monday No good price was the same I found one site with a best offer I offered what I am willing to pay ( not a ton below the asking price , I wasn’t lowballing ) got a counter offer for the exact price offered everywhere. I am asking the federal trade commission and my state’s AG to look into this if it’s price fixing. It’s illegal. Any input ? This seems to happen a lot in the marine / fishing environment

Best brand / value deep V aluminum boat?
chinook35 replied to Bluefin54's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I have never been able to understand why StarCraft stopped making the Islander , SeaNymph ( Lowe) stopped making the Great Lakes special , Lund , Crestliner and others made great aluminum fishing boats suitable for the Great Lakes I have a GLS 22 and I love it -
They’ll do more than kill gulls. Migratory birds , bats 🦇, protected bird species of all kinds. That’s just the start. There will be exclusion zones around every turbine. The power cable that was proposed for Gallo island wind farm , ran underwater to Oswego , through the best salmon pod fishing in the Eastern end of Lake O Imagine snagging that cable with a rigger ball if you don’t think they will put security around the turbines , take a look at the exclusion zone around the nukes at Nine mile pt. We used to be able to fish right through the warm water discharge , some of the best spring brown fishing ever. No more. We need to fight these monstrosities on every level. -
The problem with your post is : Lake O is not a small impoundment and most bass boats and boats small enough to be propelled by electric motors stay inshore. When you venture offshore , you better have a seaworthy craft under you capable of handling the big lake. Your life depends on it. A kicker on a single engine boat is not just for trolling. It can get you back in if your main fails. Respect Lake O , or pay the price -
Nuclear fusion reactors are far in the future. Fusion requires a miniature sun I have serious issues with creating suns on earth can we control these “suns” ? How do you contain this massive amount of energy and heat ?

I get that we need to reduce our carbon footprint. My concern is the way our government is going about it. Great that we are being mandated to go electric on everything. Where does the electricity come from. Fossil fueled power plants. Great idea to buy a generator to charge your batteries. What does the generator use for fuel. Gas/ diesel. solar and wind power are making great inroads , but at what cost ? Each wind turbine requires approximately 800 gallons of lubricant, oil. Solar panels are springing up all over NY state. Still have no idea of the cost of maintenance on these panels and no one seems to talk about it Nuclear is out of the question. We have seen the price of an accident and it’s way too high. We have defeated the off shore wind farms on Lake O , so far But I’m afraid we are going to lose the battle and the war.

I’ve always been a die hard Lowrance customer. The last couple of years I’ve been underwhelmed by my units performance. I’m looking at the Garmin echomap UHD 74CV. I don’t need side scan. Any input on this unit ?? I’m holding off to see if there are any Black Friday deals. But I’m ready to pull the trigger TIA
