The disturbing part about this fishery is that the DEC has no control over it. I understand science isn't easy, and I wont get deep into it, but there are biologist out there that have discovered how to catch wild chinook at a very young age. We can also sein the Salmon River in the Spring. Both of which can help us identify wild fluctuations. We also have a tagging trailer that can be used so every Tom, Dick , and Harry (does anyone name their kid Harry anymore?) can instantly know if they are catching natural or stocked fish. The powers that be can also sit at a comfy desk and scroll pictures on social media for a good understanding of what is being caught. They are pushing this parental tagging BS, but we still don't have the data from 3 years ago. What projects, other than the parental tagging (which again we have not seen the data in years) are they doing to understand the Salmon in this fishery that drive one of the largest fisheries in the state? We've seen Lake Erie biologist tag a pile of Walleye to better understand their migration, but on Lake Ontario we watched a Lake Trout swim around the lake.

Didn't we have a weak class of 3yr olds last year? Thankfully, the Coho covered that up.

Two days in an not one Salmon over 20lbs registered on the LOC Derby Leaderboard. 🤔 Never seen that before unless it was due to weather and people not fishing. -

How are you dealing with the rising price of gas?

Fine, I'll take one for the team...... #1 I'll quit my M-F job #2 You guys sell your boats #3 Book me for 1-2 days (or more) a year. Trust me this is much cheaper than owning a boat! On second thought, if I did this every day I think I'd hate it. In my opinion these gas prices are temporary. I get screwed at the Oak with $5.50-6.50 gas every year. I can't imagine what this years price will be. Luckily for me clients pay my fuel bill. That being said one way to offset costs is to add another body in the boat. Introduce someone to our passion with the full understanding they are required to split fuel expenses. You might pick up a long term fishing buddy. -
You have to measure the dearise for the area you plan to install the transducer and be within 4*. For example a 20* tilted element can fit a 16-24* deadrise. Other than that, you want to look forward of where you plan to mount it and make sure there are no strakes, thru-hulls, or water pick ups. All these create aeration in the water and sonar doesn't work through air. -
There was covid money set aside for New York charter boat owners, and we tried to get a stocking barge. Tat didn't directly benefit the captains. That benefitted everyone. So, the state pissed all that money away advertising our fishery across the US. Can you imagine being a business and letting government advertise for you?

Yup, I drove by and saw they were there, and the birds we're loving it. Might as well call it a buffet for the birds. I tried to upload the video, but couldn't. I just ask that we do better when stocking these fish after spending so much time, money, and effort getting them to the stocking stage. Is a stocking barge too much to ask for at this point?

15lb, not because I need the strength, but becasue I want to decrease the dive curve when fishing stickbaits in shallow water.
