Didn't someone here call one of our longtime members an idiot recently because they said his reports were lies and that the lake was dead?

Awesome!

TTT

I have a spare prop that came with my boat that is the wrong pitch. It is a remanufactured 18” x 21 pitch Bravo 2 prop. There is one very small ding in the tip of the one blade. $300 local pick up or I can meet in the Greece / Hilton / Spencerport / Brockport / Hamlin area.

It's not just on the water. There are more idiots on the road lately too!

I have lost 1 rigger weight in 20+ years of using cannon riggers. When I did lose one, I had a kink in the cable and was stubborn and didn't change it out. I replace my cannons every couple of years and haven't had any issues. I have brand new ones on my boat right now and have not had an issue this season.

I do the same thing. My neighbors look at me funny when I'm reeling cooper on a reel through the neighborhood!

I use Atommik and will never use another brand. Toms product is top notch and he has great quality control.

Best way to safely winterize is to have an insured mechanic do your winterization. If he screws it up, you get it fixed on his dime!

There is no way I would ever put anything for human consumption in that cooler after it has had laker poop in it! There isn't enough bleach in the world!

Fished the last Bald Eagle tournament of the year with two buddies and my son. We started off in 90’ to find warm water had rolled back in. Temp was 58 degrees down 85’ and still 50 degrees down 140. We worked inside for the first hour boating a couple skips and losing one mature. We moved out to 200-240 and found tons of bait and a decent screen. First mature was a 26.08 that took a Stinger Stingray Angry Bird. Next mature was an 18.0 that took a Moonshine carbon 14. After that mature, the skippy parade started. At 10:30, we headed south to try to find a big laker to get our third fish for the Bald Eagle tournament. We struggled to even find any lakers with temp so deep. We boxed one small laker. It wasn’t enough to place but it was a fun day. Congrats to Brian Ward and his box of big kings!

It is in the Democrat and Chronicle daily and it is given to the National Weather service every morning at 7:30 am. I am not sure if the National Weather Service publishes the temp on their website or not. The Democrat and Chronicle data is 24 hours old. If you ever need it, feel free to pm me and I can get you in the live temp if I'm at work. It is nice to know so you have a round about starting point in the morning!

Nice job Manny!

Yes sir! We are have to retain data for the DEC and the Feds. We have duplicates at both plants and the pH, turbidity, temp and other data is taken every day (multiple times a day) by our lab staff and operators to verify our equipment. Any gill nets off Wautoma? I will be fishing that stretch Saturday for stagers and will look out for them if they are. Here is our intake temp over the last week. The lowest it got is 46 degrees. When we get a total upwelling, we usually see 39-41 degrees coming into the plant. Before last Saturday, our intake temp was 77-78 degrees for a couple of weeks without changing.

Run offshore. If its a total upwelling (41 degrees on shore which it wasn't) run until you find warm water and troll north until you find the fish.

Our raw water pH was high last week when the intake temp was 78 degrees. It was a pH of 8.38
