HB2

Anyone who had to shell out to protect and minimize the damage or have property loss not covered by insurance claims should make copies of their receipts and send them in lieu of their tax dollars. Water is over my seawall in the creek And my place is well above the water level but my heart goes out for some. Kind of hit home a few weeks back during a nor easter . Water was surrounding a summer home on Newco drive and a lady was watching her kids play in the water.She was crying. Where do we sign up for the clash action lawsuit? Also , there is like 10% of guys fishing this year so far.Marinas closed etc, whats the economic impact of that. I know of a few guys who are not putting their boats in this year. When we are fighting for money to sustain the fishery , how will this play ? Also , as I see it property values for some have gone down substantialy. And so has their tax levy. Some reassessment should be coming . But better watch out for that . If they claim eminaent domain , they can give you less for your property. What day are we going to Albany in force. Everyone bring a bucket of LO water and dump it over their representatives desk. Give them a taste of it. Just so they get the messeage.

And if this bill is not repealed or adjusted , you will know the fix is in.

A question I would like answered is , How much is every inch of water over the old limit worth as it translates to Hydro power ? And who owns that Dam ? With the years of disscusion & debate about a yes or no on 2114 , and what happened in 1973 , did the insurance co not have a say in this, like they do everything else. Don't buy for a minute that some back room deal was not made between all parties .I would bet a 100 year average from year to year precipitation study was done and a calculated risk was made and the bill was passed.And as Kharma goes , it rained like hell. All this extra money spent and revenue lost is just a cost of doing buisness. They threw a few million at some ditches & trees in Bradocks and hide behind that. The water being piped to other states will be next. Hopefully Trump will do something about this last minute Obama deal . Not for us but to piss off Cuomo and Shummer.

How old is the fuel line ? mine did same thing and fuel line had inner sheath and colapsed inside. Changed line and ran great. Ethenol fuel .

LOC We have known since last tues the conditions we were to have this weekend . Seems more than not launches/marinas/docks are underwater. Shore erosion, Water everywhere it should not be. Guys who want to fish can't find a place to launch their boat safely without waders. Let alone a place to dock. With all that being said and knowing what we know was coming, the spring LOC should have been postponed or canceled IMO. Out of respect for All fishing related buisnesses who depend on the influx of cash from this and cant be part of it. Was a complete lack of good judgement , bad form,lack of respect for the severity of the situatio,IMO. I understand Captains and guys who travel but sometimes you have to do the right thing. The 7' of snow we got a few years back , the BILLs decided it was best to move the home game to Detroit.How much money was lost on that ? Kind of the same thing.

I sprayed some Walmart engine foaming degreaser down there, let it sit, sprayed it out , did it again. Then some laundry detergent sprayed it & it is clean. Hard not to spill some oil when changing the filter.

Amazes me that some guys start their outboards in the parking lot on dry land before putting it in the water. Mechanics have told me to NEVER, NEVER do this. just turning them over will cause heat & friction as there is no water to lubricate the rubber on metal. Have told guys that, some dont know, some say " It wont hurt it" .Why take the chance.

Gotta love this rain They picked the right year to raise the lake level.I say keep on raining. If it's going to be bad lets see what happens .

Biggest you can fit. Get Deepcycle for trolling motor & maybe combo for starting / rest of boat. I found the secret with batteries is to keep them charged. Get a good digital charger . I am anal about getting them back on charge as soon as I get home . I use walmarts best marine and they have never let me down. Remember , Buzz words for electrical are clean & tight. Loose motor conections have messed up motor electronics.

One of my favorite spoons.

Nice job!! Life Vests?

Sucks to show up And have the water real muddy. if it's real bad I have a big rattle trap chart/orange that got me a few over the years in those conditions . Bright jointed stickbaits w/rattles also . bigger is better in those conditions. Vibration is the key IMO. Not to muddy , Brass orange, Chart / orange.

The way things are going , could be the wave of the future.

Guy at work said his 80 year old step father passed yesterday . He lived on Chamout bay ,said he wanted ( his dying wish) some of his ashes loaded in 5 12 gauge shells with ,and he said this specificly , lead shot ,and kill some cormorants he hated.

Vise grips ?

Looking forward to meeting you there. You bring the doughnuts. I fish both and I cant remember the last time I released a trout that I didnt want to eat that did not make it. I do know I have release lake caught steelhead that came from down deep that probably did not. Just saying.

I have had good luck with the straight 9 & 11 and sometimes the 13 off a rigger back 75-200 ' off a rigger set 8-10 off bottom in water 12-30' deep. I fish this way with all sticks. 3 or 4 years back during loc when we had all that ice water west and guys did poor we got some nice kings this way. Good way to go spring when water is ice clear out deeper. browns coho , lakers and also a king once in a while . only problem is the hooks are so damn small so you need a soft rod and hand to land them .

Direct tie to split rind. With a diligent tuning .

I'm in.

My nephew in FLA works for a marine guy who specializes in carb rebuild.Does a lot of them on big boats. Apparently he takes the carb and imerses it in Gumout for a day or two(says thats the secret) , blows it out with compressed air and the rebuilds it. Fixes carbs other guys can't. Or maybe it is not hooked up/ adjusted correct. Could be a lazy choke. Just a guess .

I got mine at Captains cove or from Mrs Narby at point breeze.
