  1. Great Question. I'm in my 5th year of Salmon Fishing and still can't figure out where to go each time. I read the recent reports. I try to find preferred temps. I've driven around looking for bait balls, I've attended the schools. Some days I do well. Other days I strike out only to see people cleaning coolers of fish. I have a fish hawk and itroll and everything else. It's a big lake. Lots of empty water. Do I look for a depth thermocline, vertical, or a horizontal thermocline where there's a difference in surface temp? Why do I sometimes have great days without seeing a single fish or bait ball on my screen? It's more like hunting then fishing. I believe I can catch them if I can find them. But that's the hard part. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. Started out at 2 PM. Mouth of the harbor was 55 degrees. Soon turned into 43-45 degrees. Made a circle about 6 miles around to the west. No warm water anywhere. So I never wet a line. It was my first time out this year so I just checked my motors, and autopilot. Everything worked well, so there's that. Looks like the Bar is the place to be right now for warm water, and the fish.
  3. You're only hope is to install an autopilot. Went through same thing with my boat. Bought an autopilot and I'll never be without it now. Some ballast up front might help. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. The difference in the gun laws state to state is an actual violation of the Constitution. Called Infringement. Bill of Rights. Different question altogether. Anything not given to the Feds is reserved for the States and the People. But the Bill of Rights is not a list of authorizations granted to either the federal government or the states. It is a list of "the rights of the people", we possess. Rights that cannot be thwarted by the Government. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Masks work to some extent in my opinion. Remember at first they said don't bother because the healthcare workers needed them. Ok, so think about that. Now they are saying everyone should wear them. What changed? Supplies of masks are catching up. If they don't work, why in the hell are nurses screaming bloody murder that don't have masks. They certainly have some positive benefits apparently or the healthcare workers wouldn't be concerned about the shortages. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. My Walmart was packed. Transit Road Williamsville. About half the people had masks on yesterday. I have been wearing one in stores for weeks now because we have a fragile daughter. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. I plan to fish, I plan to hunt turkeys. I plan to go to the grocery store if I need something. I don't plan to feel guilty about it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with doing outdoor activities. So, we have someone telling us a kayak is ok, but my boat isn't. Good Grief.
  8. Just got my phone call returned this morning. The boat ramp is open. Launch at your own risk. No overnight docking without a reservation. Please don't ask me about the fish clean station, or the bathroom. He didn't say. Just assume and plan for them being closed. I will be social distancing on the lake soon, weather permitting.

  9. I think those who are dealing with it every day face to face have a skewed view of the reality of the Virus as far as death rate and the danger. You are on the Frontline and if you are in a hot spot, you're perception is based on that. I respect doctors and nurses and all who expose themselves to give care to others. I believe far more people have the virus, or had it and recovered. Therefore, the rate of death is comparable or even less than the Flu. We already know the models were way off. Predictions of 2 million deaths have been lowered to 60000. The US had 61000 flu deaths in 2017. So, while I appreciate your service, I don't think you see the big picture, because you are in the hot spot. We need to open the economy before we go into a depression. Sweden is a good example. California has far fewer cases than NYC though Chinese travel to CA is far more frequent. Why? Could it be immunity? Bottom line: we can't allow millions to go into abject poverty and lose their homes, their livlihoods. We overreacted over an abundance of caution. It's time to recalibrate.

  10. Thanks for the report. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Great day!. What ramp did you launch from? My boat and me are ready but I read that the launch Ramps are closed. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  13. I don't recall saying it was scientific evidence. Just an acute observation he made about California, which apparently you also noticed, and a mention of a theory. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. Rush Limbaugh had the exact same Question about California weeks ago, asking why isn't California the epicenter? It has by far the most travel to and from China. He said one theory is herd immunity. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. People: Let's keep our eyes wide open: Bill Bennett said this morning you have a point .2% chance of getting Covid 19. If you get it you have a 98% chance of getting over it. In 2017 we had 61,000 deaths from the FLU. Models now estimate we will have 60000 deaths from Covid 19. Remember these models started out saying we will have 2 million deaths! Dr. Blix said no matter the cause of death, people dying that test positive for Covid are being counted as a Covid death. Rand Paul got it, and recovered. He had NO symptoms. He said in Iceland everyone was tested and they found 50% of people that have it had no symptoms. Yes the Virus appears to be highly contagious. Yes it is strange because some people die, some have no symptoms, and children don't seem to be affected, generally. Yes there's exceptions. Yes, elderly or people with high blood pressure or heart disease are more at risk. So consider: It started in China. Possibly man made in a Lab there. China is in a trade war with Trump. The world, and most importantly for us, the United States has shut down the entire economy. The Economy, that under Trump broke every record since records were kept, in just 3 years. The media has sensationalized this, just as they have sensationalized any thing else that might reflect poorly on Trump. There has already been ongoing Coup attempts since the inauguration. Is it any surprise they would use this as another opportunity? Democrat Governors and the media have scorned the use of hydroxochloroquine, because Trump said it was good! It is widely known, both here and in France, that it is an effective treatment. Rand Paul said doctors often prescribe off label drugs that effective at something other than what they are marketed for. Bill Gates has ties to Chinese pharmaceutical companies and is trying to get a vaccine to market, all the while poo pooing an Approved drug for Covid treatment, hydroxochloroquine. He'll be the first one to push a possibility understated and possibly dangerous vaccine! Dr. Fauci said in February we have nothing to worry about. Now he says the sky is calling and any attempt to restart the economy will result in reemergence. He has Political ties and Support to Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. The Democrats have used this as way to change voting laws, get more funding for abortions, And many other projects and policies that would alter the course of the nation, having nothing to do with the Covid outbreak. A quarantine used to be for sick people, of people who are at risk. Under tyranny, healthy people are also under quarantine. People are losing their business. People can't pay their bills. Unemployment is now 17%. So consider EVERYTHING. And Question EVERYTHING, and be Skeptical about EVERYTHING. I am saying this is being sensationalized. I am saying the facts are not being reported. I am saying Governments and media propaganda machines are overreacting, possibly with an agenda we are too familiar with by now. I am saying drugs that likely work on many people are being witheld because of political hatred. Ventilators are being returned in new York now because they aren't needed. Remember a week ago Cuomo was screaming for 40k Ventilators. I am saying the closing of boat ramps is NOT warranted, and many other things are NOT needed. Check out Switzerland. No Nationwide quarantines. Getting along fine. 50000 people die each year on the highway. No panic. A plane crashes and 100 people die and it's hyped to no end. Compare this to the Flu, and Covid.

  16. Back in service just in time for the boat ramps to be closed. The gasket fixed it. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. No, this is not selfish at all. It's called common sense. If a person fishes alone, or fishes with only those in his own household there is no reason that person should be prevented from fishing. The executive order is too broad, and could have provided some exceptions. Restaurant's are closed, so your concern there is moot. Ever heard of pack your own, or drive through windows? Gas stations have pay at the pump. I rarely if ever go inside. I launch my boat, fish, and recover my boat by myself. No human interaction. Now when we ordered door dash the other night, I had interaction with the individual that brought the food. They had no mask, no gloves. COMMON SENSE.

  18. 20,000 members being prohibited from recreational pursuits is definitely UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Psychologist and Other doctors have said recreational activity is healthy, and relieves stress. This total shutdown is government overreach by any standard. I fish alone 80% of time. No interaction at all except to pay my ramp fee. That could be worked out.

  19. My friend said Cayuga lake boat ramps are closed. He lives there. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. OLCOTT closed?????? All of this is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I remember during the Obama government shutdown the Iroquois national Wildlife refuge was closed! Not just the welcome center, the woods and Swamp had closed signs posted. Disgusting. I fish alone. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. Has anyone found a reasonably priced shock Absorbing Seat? The only ones I see are over $300 each. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. It's probably plywood, with fiberglass over it. Easy fix. Remove rotted area of plywood. Replace plywood. Sand the area for good adhesion. Re fiberglass using a repair kit from AutoZone or home Depot. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. Yes sir, times a wasting! Glad I bought the seloc maintenance manual. Very helpful. Hopefully the Covid won't delay shipment of the gasket. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. Looks to me like a gasket. Ordered 2 just in case. $26 See pictures. Thanks for the help guys!
