    The piers at Oak Orchard are IMO the best . 25 min west on the parkway If the wind is from the west , get on the east pier . If its from the east , get on the west Krocidile spoons in the smaller sizes are my best . Cleos 1/3 or 2/5 oz . Silver blue, green or Orange . Also stickbaits and rattletraps work if the water is stained . Don't forget the net .

    And on a side note , how much warm water species spawning habitat has been lost for this year ? Many of the shallow bays and swampy areas are dry this year .

    I think it is 3/16 " braided nylon rope . And i a hard time finding it . If you get to big , the knot won't fit in the pulley . If you don't get the right thing , it won't work in the holding block you mount on the rigger . As I remember 1/8 was to small . And it will slip . After a while , what I bought to replace was slipping in that block , so I tied an overhand knot in the right location and that worked .

    Now THERE is some complicated scientific data . My question would be this .... If you can see the level is very low ,and you know it will be below long term average , why would you continue after 3 weeks to increase outflow ? Unless of course you would want it to be low . I feel like I am getting my chain jerked. Or they have no idea what they are doing . That part , I can't figure out .

    With what is going on , we are pretty much screwed anyway . Seem like it's just a matter of time . So might as well party while we can . I don't but I might start .

    Right after ice out I caught a bunch of smaller Brown's off my dock at Sandy . Then I got a bunch of Smallmouths , panfish , etc . But the last few weeks I have been struggling . Which is unusual for this time of year for me . So fishing in general may not be good .

    I feel they know exactly what they are doing

    I got 6 / 7 at my dock . Being a member of the prestigious IJC has its perks . Didn't Bubba say , " I never had sexual relations with that women "?

    Excellent report It's nice to here some of the best fisherman on the lake have bad days also . It's all part of it .

    And also there are more important interest that have a huge financial stake in this . President Obama , in his infinite wisdom spent a lot of political capital to get this passed . Gov Cuomo invested a,lot in the vegetation that was planted in many ofv the swamps to give cover to the real reasons why the bill was passed . And if the lake is to low to navigate or launch your vessel , might I suggest hiking .

    And furthermore , we as representatives have been appointed by our highly respected federal government's . So that Fact alone should make it clear we are highly qualified in our decision making . There are some native species and water bugs that were in peril . So all the high water damage and the impending low water are a small price to pay to insure their survival. The loss of revenue of lake shore businesses and damage from high water has all been factored in . So in a show of good faith , everyone should get on board with this . And please give us the appreciation we deserve . We know better than you on this issue .

    And being from the IJC ,I ask this , can't you guys read ? We told everyone to expect a 7.2 ft difference from high to low AND be prepared to live with it . Sorry if it disrupts your lives , but we have shipping and hydro power to worry about . Oh yea , the real reason for all this is to save the wetland , almost forgot .

    Hey guys , I'm from the iJC The water got high and everyone complained . Now we lower the water and everyone complains . Make up your minds already .

    I use attractant religiously on all of my plastics for bass ,pike , trout etc . It makes a big difference

    Do yourself a favor and go buy some bigger duo lock snaps and put one on the back swivel . That way you can change easier without having to put a larks head knot to it .

    I have owned a lot of different trolling reels from a lot of different price points Way back when the 47 h from Diawa was the standard and I think I have 6 besides the drags getting a sticky over time , the only issue I ever had was a clicker go . I really don't think you need the best to catch these fish . Any mid range reel will perform for you . A smooth drag is what is really the most important thing . I have 2 Accudepth and they are fine I have 1 convector that I like . I have a magna pro I like Currently I have 2 Penn 309 for my dedicated flasher rods I love . I have caught my share of kings over the years . Buy the best if you feel you have to but I'm here to tell you , you don't need to .

    I used Blacks and like them Went to Offshore , used them for years , pads wear out after a,while . Got some Scottys last year, like them a lot I like the cable pinch pad style . And hook them on the weight . I think it runs better that way . For a few reasons .

    I kind of measured it today and it seems to be about 54 " down from the high point . My mind is made up that I would like to see it how it was before they passed the new policy . And IMO , they know what they are doing as far as controlling the lake level . They should know the snow pack and rain fall totals of the watershed and the amount of inflow from Erie. And should by now be able to adjust accordingly . Like they did before and had it under control. They got caught with their pants down the first year and did not let enough out when they could have . And also the next year . 2 ft higher and 1 ft lower . Be prepared for low water .

    An old timer once told me if you take a leak on your lure before you send it down , it really helps . Another guy told me to smear chicken crap on it , but it has to be from a rooster .
