I wouldn't necessarily rewinterize, but it might not be a bad idea to open the block and riser petcocks and drain the water out of the engine. I don't think it'll get cold enough for long enough for a hard freeze.

No, the zebra and quagga mussels have pretty much decimated the diporeia populations, which is a small zooplankton that is pretty much the vital base of the food chain in the lake. Just because the lake is clearer, doesn't mean it's healthier. Tim

I started with Cannon Unitroll HP manuals and cranking up 12's was a biotch, I wouldn't want to know nuthin' about cranking in 16 lbers on manual riggers.

Most likely Lake Trout and you were trolling too fast. Tim

The calendar and feeding sign up for the Olcott Pen project is up on the LOTSA Westsite http://www.lotsa.org Tim

I will have a feeding calendar and signup form up on the LOTSA Website in the next day or so. I will post when it is live Thanks, Tim

Our fish will be delivered to the Town of Newfane Marina on Friday, April 24 at 1:00 pm. Our 67,000 Chinook Salmon and 3,500 Steelhead will be transferred to the pens. The hatchery truck will also be releasing the balance of Olcott's Direct Stocked Steelhead that same day. Anyone that can come out Friday and help out, it will be greatly appreciated. Also, that means that the feedings start at 4:00 pm on the 24th and will continue along the regular schedule from that point on till they are released: 7:00 am, 10:00 am, 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm every day. Attached is the fish delivery notice from the DEC: http://www.lotsa.org/2015-%2018%20Mile%20Chin%20+%20Sthd%20pens%20etc%20%20otus%20Approach_CARD.pdf Thanks, Tim

Wow Paul, that's quite an upgrade over the old dinosaur you were using. what are you going to do with yourself now that you'll actually be able to see fish on your graph :-P :rofl:

Actually, it would be a miracle if you did, since the lake won't have set up by early June, so there won't be a thermocline to find. But seriously, that time of year, just fish the marks.

Probably should have been in tighter, the browns are usually in <10' this time of year.

That's not actually even remotely close to being true, but whatever.

The number is just a number. The value to a speed and temp unit is repeatability. What the number displayed is, is in all honesty, completely irrelevent, as long as you can repeat the reading that is catching fish. Once you determine that, it really doesn't matter what the number is. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We just need some NE winds to push that ice into the warm western basin where it will quickly sink, melt and be gone for good. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
