Fishing out of the Oak vs Braddocks might save you a mile, if you're running to 400 fow....... So it's really not that significant. The Navionics web app is helpful for investigating at stuff like this.......
I've stopped chasing walleyes out of PB and the Catt until late June ........... Just seems like I can't find a reliable daytime bite until then.
The good news is that perch fishing out of the Catt has been excellent this season.
Wondering if you could see the fish on "traditional" sonar, or only on the panoptix when they were investigating the cannonballs? Also, did shortening the leads trigger the fish?
nice pics and report..... the water's pretty cold still....
The kids look like they had fun, and if you're going to Erie, don't forget about the perch. It's been a pretty amazing year so far. Kids love catching a mess of perch..... even us big kids.
LB...….. That's a tough story, and one that's hard for me to imagine. I hope your boy stays clean and sober and you continue to build on good days spent fishing.
Montana and Ohio are putting requirements in place that effectively stop travel to their states for Hunting and Fishing "recreational" activities. Spring bear hunting in Montana, and the walleye runs in the western basin rivers of Lake Erie are substantial revenue generators for those states, so I'm sure it was not an easy decision. The regs require a 14 day self quarantine after travel to those states, prior to hunting or fishing. I've applied for a Montana elk/deer combo tag for use in the fall, sure hope this is over by then...……….. Either way, I support this type of restriction, and think it encourages good decisions by travelers.
My youngest daughter works in the ER at Strong. I worry about her health and safety relentlessly. Whatever can be done by the general public to minimize the impact on our health care providers is in my mind the right thing to do...… but I'm biased.
From wiki....... on H1N1
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths (0.02% case fatality rate) in the United States due to the virus.[117]
From ABS News on Covid19
In the U.S., more than 55,000 people have been diagnosed and at least 796 people have died.
It might not be apples to apples, and you might argue the source quality, but based on these statistics the Covid19 mortality rate is 75 times as deadly....... perhaps that's why this particular virus is getting so much attention.
The Nautolex also worked well for me. Installation was fairly straightforward. 4 years old and holding up very well.
