    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.

    And this is the lake Guardian. Any other trawlers are not welcome! Tom B. (LongLine)

    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)

    Have you tried that "liquid " electrical insulation? Bigger question is what's causing it. How's your cable wind on the rigg'r spool? Pully's free wheeling all the time? Tom B. (LongLine)

    That will make the bow ride lower in the water & obviously increase the weight of the boat. You may want to put the bags is a plastic pail or something, if possible. A broken bag will release a lot of sand into the bildge. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Scott - Love those DWSS. Were the little kings clipped? Tom B. (LongLine)

    Little guy in US doesn't need it. I believe it required of all "north of the fence." Tom B. (LongLine)

    Rolmops - Thanx for the update. Quite a firedrill, so many that short a time, isn't it....especially solo. This is the time of year for the upwellings to start occurring. For the last few years they've been more noticeable west of the river. This year with the shallow water & wind patterns, it may be more noticeable East. Maybe I'll get out tomorrow. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Joe - Depends where you were fishing. Interesting thing about the lake is that while you're marking a certain temp, your buddy who is only a mile away can be seeing something entirely different. Here's that latest temp transects. Each "tick mark" on the upper graphs is a hair over 3 ft. From the reports I'm seeing, we may have a major upwelling in the next week or so. That'll bring the cold water way up. Tom B. (LongLine)

    This is why you turn that feature off: Going very very slow, one rigg'r with probe was at 45, other at 50. When it was turned off, I had 3 lines across the screen. (possibly a fish at 80, one on the bottom possibly a log) Leave it on if you want some "entertainment" or want to see an inexpeienced crew go Tom B. (LongLine)

    http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... ind-towers The good guy Rick Antelli: District #7. Charlotte & lake front west. [email protected] The bad guy Vince Esposito: District #16: Summerville & west side of Irondequoit Bay (excluding Durand) [email protected] I urge you guys to send these fellas some emails. What is done off Monroe will affect everyone that uses the lake. Tom B. (LongLine)

    idn - suggest you check out jannsnetcraft. They sell all kinds of blanks. Tom B. (LongLine)

    WTG. It's great to run into a bunch of fish with the kids along. (However it's another story when the little guy starts saying"..Here Dad, you take it...it's a little one". - just playing) Tom B. (LongLine)

    WTG, Did those skippers have adipose fins? Tom B. (LongLine)

    Definitely the Kaho. It conducts alewife & smelt netting transects at many places including Olcott, 30 mile, Oak, Hamlin, Rochester & a bunch of places East during May & June. They start around 140 FOW & go out to 500FOW or so. In mid July through August they take a shot at the laker population to get a handle on how restoration is coming along, same places plus a few randomly chosen ones. Gill nets plus a few trawls. The commercial guys (& there were only 3 in 2009) work out of the East end & target perch. Ocassionally, you'll see the newer SETH GREEN which sometimes assists the Kaho. Also sometimes you'll see the Federal LAKE GUARDIAN out there taking water samples. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Looks like maybe the Niagara legislature is coming to their senses: http://niagara-gazette.com/local/x82928 ... -farm-plan Hopefully, Tom B. (LongLine)

    Unfortunately Hank's right on this one. How's your oil look? Tom B. (LongLine)

    As rd said store it in a cool dark place. (not on the boat) Actually it's uv light that deterioates it so don't store it under flourescent lights. How long it's good for also depend on the #test. 30 Lb will deterioate and may only be as strong as 20 #, but hey that's still pretty strong. 8# on the other hand..... When you can pull it through your fingers and get a white powder on your fingers, toss it. Tom B. (LongLine)
  21. LongLine
    If you're using 25 Lb & bending hooks then it's a pretty safe bet you drag is way too tight. Let them run a little, keep the line tight but don't horse them. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Welcome to the board. Blue Finn - Now there's a boat! (mine's 18ft) Don't be too awful concerned with surface speed. Check you lure action off the side/back of the boat while going in different directions. That 2.5 may just be perfect with a NW heading. Tom B. (LongLine)

    WD40?

    LongLine replied to Shade's topic in Open Lake Discussion

    Skipper - I don't know. I'm not one of those guys that stands in the stream whipping his fly so I have no experience with it. I've tried vegetable oil & baby oil but they don't last all that long. Shade - Haven't tried it yet this year, but last year, & the year before & the year before that & the year before that, it worked pretty well. What I do is spray a little on my finger & thumb then spool fresh line. Then out in the boat, every once in a while give the spool a quick shot. Tom B. (LongLine)

    At the spring state of lake meeting DEC said that the preliminary and very preliminary figures indicated approx 20% of Kings were due to Nat Repro. Studies from SUNY ESF indicate that nat repro is highly variable from year to year. Tom B. (LongLine)

    WD40?

    LongLine replied to Shade's topic in Open Lake Discussion

    It works wonders BUT be prepared to change lines every 4th or 5th time out because it will deterioate mono. (that's why I use copolymer) Tom B. (LongLine)
