That is a lot of money raised. Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention Adam - its great to see this kind of thing.

Thanks for feedback Flybuster. I'll look into it for us. More good news is that we got official approval from APPLE today for the distribution of the iOS version of the LEU app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lake-erie-united/id1065260866?mt=8 Now we can test that one a little bit. Thanks guys! Chad

DEC Announces State of Lake Ontario Meetings Biologists to Update Status of Lake's Fisheries The public will have the opportunity to learn about the State of Lake Ontario fisheries at public meetings held in Monroe, Niagara, and Oswego counties in March, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos announced today. Lake Ontario and its embayments and tributaries support thriving populations of fish, including a variety of trout and salmon, bass, walleye, yellow perch and panfish. "Lake Ontario and its tributaries provide world-class angling opportunities" Acting Commissioner Seggos said. "Under Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, Lake Ontario's high-quality fisheries and associated economic benefits are thriving. The State of Lake Ontario meetings provide an excellent opportunity for individuals interested in the lake to interact with the scientists who study its fisheries." New York's Lake Ontario waters comprise more than 2.7 million acres. A 2007 statewide angler survey estimated more than 2.6 million angler days were spent on Lake Ontario and major tributaries. The estimated value of these fisheries exceeded $112 million annually to the local New York economy. The meeting dates and locations are as follows: Thursday, March 3: 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building, 4487 Lake Avenue, Lockport, Niagara County. The meeting is co-hosted by Niagara County Cooperative Extension and the Niagara County Sportfishery Development Board. Tuesday, March 8: 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Pulaski High School auditorium, 4624 Salina Street, Pulaski, Oswego County. The meeting is co-hosted by the Eastern Lake Ontario Salmon and Trout Association. In the event of heavy lake-effect snow, the meeting will be held at the same time and location on March 9. Monday, March 14: 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) campus (Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science building (76-1125) - Carlson Auditorium), Rochester, Monroe County. The meeting is co-hosted by RIT and the Monroe County Fishery Advisory Board. Staff from DEC, the United States Geological Survey, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make a number of presentations, including updates on the status of trout and salmon fisheries, forage fish, and stocking programs. Staff from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will also be in attendance. The meetings will provide ample time at the end of the scheduled program for the audience to interact with the presenters. Information about DEC's Lake Ontario fisheries assessment programs can be found online. For further information contact Steven LaPan, New York Great Lakes Fisheries Section Head at Cape Vincent Fisheries Research Station, (315) 654-2147.

Yeah it doesn't hurt to populate it with some quality content. I'd like at least one post in every forum. There are a couple other things I can have to clean up as well but all in all I think we are in pretty good shape.

Thanks for feedback guys! That is good to know with respect to Android app. Android app is in beta, iOS app will be full launch. Justin - I'd like to run beta testing for a little while (it's only been a day) but realize everyone is very excited. i'll do my best to get the site live as soon as I can but also want to make sure that I do my due diligence. Chad

Haha - that's a funny quote that sounds very familiar lineman Same words have been echoed by my father. We pushed out the Android App for Lake Erie United last night and the iOS App is in review state. I don't personally have an Android phone so if anyone is able to test that out for me would be much appreciated. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapatalk.lakeerieunitedcomwalleye I'm expecting iOS approval sometime this week. Feedback has been amazing so far - thanks so much everyone for the support! I'm blown away by the initial interest in the site.

Coming soon to a computer, phone and tablet near you. BETA TESTERS wanted. If you are interested in helping out in some beta testing of the new website, we'd be very appreciative! Here is the private link for those interested: http://www.lakeerieunited.com/ My goal is to populate all the forums with some decent content, pictures, calendar events, etc. I'm sure we can find a couple guys here that also fish Lake Erie... Enjoy! Chad

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jason, Trish and the family.

Frank! Welcome aboard my friend - great to see you hear! Sit back, relax and make yourself at home

Hi RIck - The tagging system is not available on the app. You will have to view the regular website to use it. There hasn't been any new Canadian items for sale yet since we implemented the system so that is why you are not seeing any. You should be the first one to post something. If you want to filter the ads, all you have to do is click on the USA or CAN icon next to the topic. That will filter everything to either USA or CANADIAN. The default view is still to see everything at once. Thanks - Chad

Alright Rick - Christmas came early... give it a try now. You should see a "For Sale : CAN" and a "For Sale : USA" options now. Clicking on either of those will also filter the forum down to just those listings. Thanks again for suggestion and I hope you like it. Chad

Give me 1-2 days here after Christmas and I'll have it going. I expect you Rick to be the first one to test it out for us! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a great day and get to relax with family and friends.

I'm leaning towards creating a "For Sale - USA" and a "For Sale - Canada" tag as the solution. I don't think I want to create another separate forum all together. I like keeping our total number of forums where it is currently if possibly. I can work on it this week for us and we will see how you guys like it. Thanks again! Chad

Hi Rick - I'm giving it some thought. After reading Wallyandre's post, do you still feel the extra forum is warranted? I'm open to giving it a try and seeing if we can get some more Canadian participation. Could you help me spread the word if we do open it up? What I am leaning towards is maybe going with an extra tag prefix that states "For Sale - USA" or "For Sale - Canada". This way we keep all the for sale items in one forum but give members an easy way to filter on them if they only want to see Canadian items for sale or only US items for sale. I'm sure there are many willing to buy and sell to both sides of the border so this solution would keep everything in one forum still but give members the option to filter some out if they wish. Thanks - Chad

Hi guys - what browser you on? I think what is happening is that many of the new browsers auto-turnoff sounds. I hear sound on my end in some browsers and others are silent.

Enjoy [emoji106][emoji2]
