    What's wrong is that a guy is taking a picture of another guy taking a picture of a third guy pretending to be whizzing on the rigg'rs. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Fishing Report: LongLine Launched at the river pretty early this morning: River temp cooking at 76F. Some clouds, slight SES wind so blew the oil out of the engine as I headed off Russell. (ie full throttle) Set up the rigg’rs in 120 FOW. 54F down 60 ft. Took a Northerly heading and worked out to 250 FOW then back in. Screen most active 180-200FOW. At 190FOW, 54F was 85 down. (interestingly…) Thermocline pretty thin. Couple fleas at the knot once in a while but nothing to speak off. Anyways – 12 for 16. 11 kings & 1 Brown. All small ones. Nothing bigger than 6 Lbs. All clean fish except the largest which had a nasty Lamprey wound. Brownie starting to darken up a little. Kings very feisty. Majority jumped at least once. (even with rod tip down) 2 naturals, rest clipped. Clean DWSS-purples, down 60-85, 15-20 ft back, 2.5 down speed. Direction didn’t matter. Off a little after 10. About 30 vehicles in lot. 14 with trailers. Luck to all, Tom B. (LongLine)

    WTG Chris. We're going to have some tremendous fishing next year out there. oops...shhh...I didn't say that. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Next time look at the dental records. Browns and Atlantics often look the same BUT the teeth structure on the roof of their mouths is so completely different that a blind man could tell them apart. Tom B (LongLine) ps. I vote Atlantic

    AJ - welcome to the site. Check out the various sections, then ask away. Tom B. (LongLine)

    WF - well said. Proponents often site singular aquatic studies but they obviously failed biology because there's a big difference between saltwater and freshwater aquatic life. Freshwater fish are much more dependent upon the nearshore environment. They also fail to consider the endangered species that we have such as the Great Lakes Sturgeon, American Eel and Atlantic Salmon, just to name a few. They also ignore what the USA Corps of Engs is trying to do in the Sanitary Canal. I.E. use pulsed DC to alter the migration path of the Asian carp. I have asked proponents what is the difference between USACE pulsed DC and the 0.5 to 3 Hz at 33,000 volts of turbine transmission lines. The only way I can describe their looks is "oops, this guy knows something about electro-magnetic force fields, induction and corona effects." Tom - You're too much of a gentleman. I would have used a heavy felt marker, signed my name followed by a not abbreviated "N.F.W." (Hopefully, they're not like drug dealers that use minors to sell their wares. But if they are, I would'a signed my name in chinese: Mr. No F.N. Wey.) Tom B. (LongLine)

    Very nice Paul. Hope you have a seatbelt on when you get you 1st 20 Lb'r. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Well, someone doubts the Great Lakes make up 95% of the nation’s freshwater supply - Check this out: http://gleams.altarum.org/glwatershed/glwatershed.html oops...who woud ever write that "rubbish"?...Listed contact person for the above article: Guess there's no use in my refering you to the USGS were they say that 97% of the world water is saline and only 3% is fresh, and that of that 3%, .9% is ground water & ice cap and that 87% of the remaining 2% is in lakes. As far as not being able to fish “that half mile areaâ€: According to the NYPA GLOW proposal, spacing between turbines is 2,100 ft. There’s 5,280 ft in a mile, last time I checked, so there’s considerably more than a “half mile†involved here, especially when you read further into GLOW and see that they want them in rectangular staggered arrays of 5 x 10 minimum. It's always amazing to me that proponents always read just a few posts and instantly label opposition viewpoints as "must be NIMBY syndrome", without checking out any referenced material. Want to discuss pollution? I suggest a quick google on "USEPA Areas of Concern - Great Lakes" before doing so. (Also read the morning's D&C on beach closings) Tom B. (LongLine)

    BD - I liked the yellow with black & red dots, then the green with yellow hallos around blk dots. (frog). Both wood. Funny how it's hard to find yellow lures, but those were killers for me. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Going to have to change your board name in a couple weeks huh? (No longer a Free-man) - congratulations Welcome back. Tom B. (LongLine)

    You'll find quite a few guys on spoonpullers that love the evil eyes (eppinger). We used to get quite a few salmon on the Black/purple ones. I still have a few in my box but they don't get the water time due to DWSS. Some guys loved the chartruse (green) & orange. Also have a couple red eye wrigglers in the box. Mostly for sentimental reasons. When growing up, I used to do a lot of casting for bass & northerns. Only used 4 lures: Daredevil (eppinger) Red eye wiggler (hofschnieder), ABU spinners and real flatfish. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Our normal pattern this time of year has been to go deep, however this year with all the recent rain, I wouldn't be surprised if they've moved in a bit or are moving around more each day. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Shadster Check your hoses. Ethanol may be eating them thus deposits. Tom B. (LongLine)

    If it's only been sitting for a month, it should be fine. When in doubt add a few drops of stabil to it before storage. If you're really worried about it, tilt the can up on one end, let set for a few minutes then siphon out a little from the lowest edge into a glass jar. Let that set for a few minutes and look at it. If there's anything wrong with it you should see it. Tom B. (LongLine)

    John - You keeping score on the non-clipped shakers? Looks like about 35-40% from what I'm hearing. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Get youself a good fishfinder, then a good downspeed indicator. Welcome to the board. Tom B. (LongLine)

    General rule of thumb is that the winch should be rated at half the weight of the fully loaded boat w motor. If you can afford a higher rated one then go for it & you'll never have to worry about it. The winch is for loading the boat. Don't depend on it to hold the front end down as your speeding down the expressway. Install a safety chain at the bow and make sure you have a good strap holding the rear end down. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Town of Greece says NO. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... ke-Ontario (Population of Greece is about the same as Wayne County) Now…if Irondequoit would get off their “duffs.†Tom B. (LongLine)

    Tim – Thanx for the article. I love it how it has a “pro†spin on it. (Those morons!) FWIW – The Niagara River and 18 Mile Creek are USEPA Areas of Concern, very similar to the Rochester Embayment. Legislators need to be reminded of that. They also need to be reminded that Occidental lost that big pollution suit and MODIS imagery shows how the water of the river flows out into the lake. I.E. where they want to put it also has polluted sediments. It’s mostly mud, silt & sand so they’ll be digging quite a bit for firm foundations & transmission lines. I also see that now they want the 50-100FOW depth. i.e more of the nearshore area that the fish depend upon for survival. Didn't DEC say they were studying the lakers at the Niagara as that's possibly a major spawning area? Here’s a film on a “small†European offshore windfarm from the developer. Has a lot of the construction footage. Look at the real layout of the farm and also look at the size ships they use. Also realize that these turbines are smaller than what NYPA wants in our lake. http://www.dongenergy.com/Nysted/EN/Abo ... ction.aspx Here’s another story about the German “windfarm†that proponents love to brag about. http://www.spiegel.de/international/ger ... 30,00.html I’m sure you won’t see proponents talking about the embarassment there. i.e have to replace 6 turbines after only a few months.

    Sodus to Oswego is one of the target areas, however Wayne county told them NO. I personnally don't trust NYPA, either. However, my guess is that he was related to the incident in the St Lawrence the other day. A freighter ran aground and had an oil spill. It backed up 16 ships for a couple/few days. There are no US registered cranes capable of errecting these things. That's what the Jones Act is all about and one of the "BIG" headaches that developers will face, unless they realy pay the politicians/judges off. That's actually a "little guy" compared to what they'll need. If any of you guys see "anneometers" (sp) then HOLLER real loud. These things are basically real tall flag polls with wind speed cups on top of them. Tom B. (LongLine)
