Wilson launches are completely submerged. Also got a look at my neighbors property and it's not good. They have no erosion protection. When we got the house in wilson, 5 years ago, only the white end on the pipe picture was visible, now there is 6 feet of pipe hanging out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The article seems to talk about 2 to 8 inches of water and they expect another 5 inches in May. That's nothing compared to what's happening now. However it's nice to see Chris Collins doing something for once, even if it isn't a town hall. Even if they scrap the plan water levels will only drop a few inches. Most docks in wilson harbor look like this. Olcott has tens of thousands of sand bags in place. Irondequoit bay is pushing to the road. The residents of sodus bay are screwed from what I've heard. I'm lucky that my moms house is 15 feet above the lake and she has rocks in place to fight erosion. I remember last year when people were concerned that lake levels were too low. I was one of those people. Well nature fixed itself as usual and now we're trying to fix what the environment has changed. I don't know what anyone can do besides open the St. Lawrence and try to drain the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Went out of wilson today, water was mud out to 40 FOW. Lots of debris in close. I didn't even try for browns due to that. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
It'll probably stay high for another week or so. To think that in the fall my boat was going under the dock. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
For lake trout I run them within 3 or 4 feet of bottom. For salmon I put them anywhere from 40 to 120 feet down depending on where my fish finder says fish are. Some guys drop down farther than that but my riggers are manual so I'd rather not pull at 10 pound weight up from more than 120 feet down lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
lol that was actually just laying on the deck, I tried it for while without luck, the rippin rap is actually in the net by the pedestal base, very bottom of the pic. Hard to see without zooming in.
A few boat were grinding the midline when I launched around 430 but I wanted to go to laker town anyway to try something different than trolling or jigging. So I tied on a gold rippin rap and let the wind push me around in 50 FOW. I just dragged it on bottom and gave it a pop every 10 seconds or so. Worked surprisingly well. Brought 4 to the boat and lost a few more. Also the Wilson launch is almost underwater! Wear your rubbers!!

Drove down to bootleggers marina today and saw they had a pair of pens in the parking lot. No one I talked with at olcott on Saturday had any info on the wilson project. Anyone know the work date or anything on volunteer info? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
X2 Took me a few months to get the mouth call down but well worth it to have both hands free. Practice, practice, practice!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
The south launch is fenced off, the north launch has new docks in but the water was to murky to see if they extended the launch. Doesn't look like any concrete work has been done on it anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
