That was my first fishing rod!

I’m replacing my last two Sealines with Saltists.

I’m still looking for two older style Daiwa Saltist 20’s with line counters.

It’s not my video. Just sharing. It makes sense. It’s not natural for the ice to melt behind a man made barrier. That’s common sense. The ice sitting there keeps the Niagara colder longer. If it wasn’t there, the ice would flow downstream into Lake Ontario and melt there.

Your thinking would only work in a state that give a sh*t about us outdoorsmen. If they did, your thinking would be used.

Warmer water doesn’t mean death, even with lakers. Proper care, they survive. Most don’t properly care for them and that’s why there are floaters.

Hatchery staff can't just leave their normal duties and go do lampricide treatments. The state is running things at bare bones minimum. They can't just pull employees out of thin air and put them on lampricide duty. I heard the stocking truck only sent one person to deliver the fish at the Sandy pens the other day. It used to be two. Thank god for the volunteers that were there. Great job guys!

The DEC is working at minimum levels also. Who's going to do their jobs when they are out doing lampricide treatments? I would gladly volunteer to help.

The 12# torpedos are what I run. They track way better and with less blow back than balls with a short fin.

1. The lake is managed as a put and take fishery. If we threw everything back, the alewives would take more of a hit. 2. Lots of mortality in C&R fishing for trout and salmon 3. They are spending a lot of money and some people like eating them. One charter and they have a lot of filets. As for keeping small fish to box out, I don't believe in it (I'm also not a charter captain) but if it's a legal fish, it's a legal fish. I would much rather see them box that 20" king than hanging it on a boga grip and taking a picture before releasing it. At least that 20" king isn't going to be seagull food.....

Yes, size isn't what it used to be, but numbers are good if you spend time figuring out the lake. I saw the same thing happen to Honeoye. The lake changed drastically and the guys that didn't put the time in to figure it out struggled. The guys that changed with the lake, still have success. The guys I know that have success on Seneca have totally changed the way the fish the lake.

I keep hearing this, but I have a bunch of customers that do well on Seneca.

I casted off a buddies breakwall last week and there were tons of emeralds around the breakwall. This was East of Sandy on my favorite shoal. The difference is probably water temp. We don't have ice cold Niagara water out front.

I highly doubt they will not travel across the lake.

The dredge pipe at the Brockport Yacht club had orange markers on it. Hmmmm...

Thanks Pete. Keep the info coming!

Nice job guys! Happy Birthday Manny!

If you want a slip, you need to get on the waiting list. I'm not sure if Tommy has any docks left for this year. Usually, he has a couple guys on a waiting list to get in.

Thats horrible.

It looks like it’s under way. I don’t know if they are just removing the broken section of the entire thing.

I installed the Evo 150 on my 245 Contender and love it. I converted to hydraulic steering before the install. I can run the big motor and kicker off one autopilot.
