Hello from NY Director Great Lakes Sport Fishing Council

Name: Capt. Tom Marks

Location: Derby, NY

Home Port:Sturgeon Point

Boat Name/Type:

I fish for:Bass, walleye, steelhead, kings

==================

I would like to say hello to all the members of this forum. I would invite fishermen to contact me regarding Great Lakes issues especially those of concern in Lake Ontario. I am actively pursuing a referendum voye regarding wind turbines in Lake Ontario. We can groan and complain about an authority dictating to us what they want in your lake, but we need to challenge NYPA and have our say. Rich Kessel, Pres. of NYPA has stated at all the meetings I have attended that NYPA will abandon the wind project for Lake Erie and Ontario if the citizens do not want it. I ask we have a referendum and see if he is a man of his word. Obviously we would have to win the vote... that will be a lot of work.
