Might get in the way of his Presidentail bid

The Federal protection of them is ridiculous...saw some on Seneca Sunday as well.

Real good example Mike. Maybe I'll put that waypoint in my machine

My hunch is that it might be an arch like that if the bait being marked was at the outer edge of the cone of the transducer so it was marking only the amount that came into the cone and not the whole bait pod.

That is a real shame Ed. I hope they fire the a hole that left the valve open.

You know yuou have to wonder what was going through that little brown's mind....that spoon was as big as him......kind of like a python going after an elephant

Might want to use the GREEN Frog tape (Walmart etc.) It doesn't allow stuff to get under the edges of it like other tape.

You're fine with that setup for minis

It is worth noting that JIm (Pequod1) is someone I regard as one of the top pan fishermen in the this part of the state and although I would very much like to share panfishers optimism and desire to look at the situation as something that we can possibly rely on humans to "correct" or let Mother Nature do her thing to re-generate the necessary lake balance as part of the natural cycle of things I also am more than a little bit concerned about human nature and the current self centered and selfish attitudes present in today's culture and how this translates into this situation. For example, many of the megastructures that have replaced the little seasonal cottages dotting the shorelines of these lakes (e.g. Canandaigua Lake) are owned by folks that may use them a few times per year so they aren't really concerned with possible consequences of changes in use of the land or water. They may have their 4 ski boats parked in the their hoists some dripping gas and oil into the water, their lawn pesticide applications done by routine services who sloppily apply it in or near the roadways and edges of the water leeching into the lake and various other convenience items impacting the environment and of which they are totally detached. For the multitude of wineries popping up along the shores and the existing farms I don't see the state insuring that they have burms or barriers along any potential areas where there chemicals or waste can be prevented from entering these waters. The bottom line is the guiding factor in todays cultural mentality. The point here is that there is a complex combination of many stressors impacting these lakes (not just Seneca either) and they are already out of control in terms of their effects on the water quality, the populations of fish and other organisms residing there, and the situation is NOT getting better. I don't think there is a great chance of banning all boat use on the lakes, asking people to desist in building these "status" monstrosities along the lakes, or even stop applying lawn treatments or removing the vineyards and farms to allow the natural processes to perhaps jump start themselves and restore balance. As fishermen though we can control what we do in terms of limiting over harvesting, keeping only the amounts of fish to be used as Jim mentioned and not decimating the schooling species while they are vulnerable, or keeping mainly the largest females ripe with eggs.

Most of the exhaustion comes from scrubbing the crap off the deck because it is though they are taking laxatives
