I've seen some nice steelhead caught on the red-eye. (Stop every once in a while & let it flutter down.) Tom B. (LongLine) -
Hans – This one? Tom B. (LongLine)

Ditto Vince. The more guys that show up, the better for the fishery. I've attended for quite a few years and these DEC guys are very willing to talk to the fishermen. Charters & Rec's. Tom B. (LongLine)

Jimski The Ontario gov't had a little over 1500 applications. 1300 were accepted. Of those accepted, only one was for off-shore. ALL applications have been halted. See sticky. Tom B. (LongLine)

Let's see: 8 turbines rated at 1.25 MW each (but only generate 30% of rated wattage) and only 3/8 of them operating....hmmm...that's roughly 1.1 MW or only 10% of what the propaganda claimed. sad......that anyone bought into that wind energy scam. Tom B. (LongLine) -
F or S The Canadians had 1500+ Feed-in Applications. Of the 1300 accepted only one was for off-shore. What this does is stops all, as you say, until after the Oct/Nov elections. It shows that the liberals are indeed aware & fearful that off-shore freshwater is a politically hot item. The conservatives have been against them. It further kicks existing off-shore investors in the teeth that are going to see no payback on what they’ve already invested for an additional 8-9 months, (minimum) which is going to P them off and make money people much harder to attract. Additionally, this is going to make developers & promoters take a serious look at the freshwater ecosystem and overall affects. In the past, they put the onus on opponents to provide studies showing the detriment turbines would cause. Proponents have previously just drawn quasi-analogies to saltwater. It’s now on the other foot. Developers will have to do scientific studies BEFORE proceeding. (Aquatic wildlife, bathymetry, Hydraulogy, AofC's, recreation value, property value, endangered species, etc which are different than in the saltwater neighborhood) This will add a lot of cost & time to the off-shore projects, which again will stumble many investors. Hopefully, this ban that was announced, (overshadowed by the Egyptian headlines) coupled with the fact that the majority of US border counties have said NO, will show NYS, the USACE, the US Dept of Interior and Obama Administration just how foolhardy the industrialization of our National treasure with turbines would be. (politically, economically & socially) This is a major stepping stone but you are correct in that we cannot assume this is the end. We'll have to keep reminding them. Tom B. (LongLine)

I thought she made up her own anthem. Most of that certainly wasn't recognizable as ours. As to 1/2 time, when the team headed to the lockerroom, I headed to the shower. bout time that mutt knocked the door down. From looking at his face, that was about the only time he's been successful.

Whitefish stocking for lake Ontario
LongLine replied to Sean Youngblood's topic in Open Lake Discussion
At last years "State of the Lake" meeting the DEC was just embarking on a study of ciscos into the Big-O. i.e. studying which ones might survive, etc. Should be interesting to find out how they made out at this years meeting. A healthy cisco population would help Laker population. Sean - If you edit your post & separate the word "interesting" from the link, then link will work Tom B. (LongLIne) -

S6453 (Libous) was passed unanimously by the NYS Senate mid June 2010. It went to Assembly where it was introduced by O’Mara. It was referred to the Assembly Environmental Committee which passed it on 22 Dec 2010. It went to the Rules Committee where it was not acted upon in time. Tom B.

Pardon me for taking a “swing†here. PARTICIPATION The fishery is not on the state’s spending priority list. License sales have trended downward & the documented number of people going fishing has diminished. Tackle shops & manufacturers are struggling. (Even the “big box†stores carry more clothes than fishing gear.) The cost of maintaining the fishery (stocking, field staffs, administration) is going up. License fees have gone up; DEC budget was cut drastically; Hatchery staffs have been reduced. The state is not going to put as much money back into something that is not as popular as it once was. Fishing has & can put a lot of money back into the local economies. You’re more concerned with one kid being able to hit it out of the park or some being able to pitch the perfect game and we're more concerned with being able to field a decent number of teams so the league can stay in existance.

Long winter.... Wonder what it'll look like next weekend... Tom B. (LongLine)

So it’s not because they catch fish/limit-out every time they go out? “Increasing†& “maximizing†are spelled differently and they have different meanings. The intent of 3-rods is to increase potential. Having the right amount of proper gear is more important than having expensive stuff. I’m sure you’ve never told your catcher to try “this glove†rather than “that glove†or batter to use “this bat†rather than “that batâ€â€¦right? Again it’s not about “playing betterâ€, it’s about increasing participation by increasing potential to catch a fish. (which is the part I know you don't get) One team, regardless of how good they are, is a cinch to win all the honors/awards that you seek if they’re the only team in the league. Unfortunately, that single team league would now have to pay the entire bill for field upkeep, equipment, trophies etc. (BTW - Leagues often give the players hats & t-shirts because they want the kids to remember and hopefully participate again.)
