Tall Tails

Nice turn out at last night's meeting, around 65-75 people. A very accurate presentation was given showing that %90 of the Kings are in %20 of the lake any given time and constantly moving. While the U.S.A. had poor king numbers returning lake wide to US streams & rivers, the Canadian side had great numbers of fish returning(especially in the Ganaraska river) I have witnessed myself the healthy/predictable staging salmon year after year off most every Canadian port when fishing the Canadian tournaments. Biggest concern is we need to see YOY-Young of the Year alewife in 2016. If not , it will be 3 years in a row of VERY low numbers/future recruiting class. That would put us in "Unchartered Waters never seen before on Lake Ontario" Hopefully we will see YOY this spring with the short/mild winter we just had. Alewife stomach survey showed content of lower level normal food chain diet, No Adult alewife feeding on smaller alewife fry. VERY GOOD meeting with plenty of time for questions before-during and after meeting.

I look forward to attending the Rochester meeting also and advise Everyone to try and attend a meeting this year.

Jerry is the Ganaraska river closed to trib fishing?

I am closing on the new boat very soon!  Make me a reasonable offer!

Don't want to be a 2 boat owner.  Listening to reasonable offers.

Brian, do you know if there will be a Niagara County meeting this year?

March 3rd at the usual spot at 630.  I didn't highlight it my first paragraph but it was there. 

The Pulaski meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8 at the Pulaski Middle-Senior High School (snow date Mar. 9). The other dates are March 3 in Lockport and March 14 in Rochester at RIT. The start time for all three meetings will be 6:30PM.

Please note the change in venue for the Eastern meeting.  It is at the Pulaski Middle-Senior High School.  The Pulaski School is located at 4624 Salina Street (Rt 11 about a ½ mile south of the main intersection in Pulaski).  The school has asked that no food or drinks be allowed in the auditorium but they are letting us use the cafeteria which is adjacent to the auditorium.

These are all open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend.  I will see everyone at the March 8th meeting in Pulaski.

Beautiful boat. That's my next step, just not right now..

Not many left in this kind of shape.  This wasn't an easy decision.  

Is it a Page by any chance Brian?

Nope  

New Boat has been found.  I am willing to make a deal!

Marlene and I have Jason in our Prayers.  If you  talk to Trish tell her we are thinking of there family.

Thanks Guys.  This wasn't an easy decision but it is time to move bigger and we think we have found it.

Going thru Trident lending right now.  It was recommended by a coworker and they have been fantastic.   Great rates on boat loans right now.

Thanks I will call and and see if they answer the phone...

Thank you for the early notice!  As always we will be there.

Guys run power pro divers off of them that I know of.  Word is a few Pro Ams have been won with that technique.  Nice Boat!

The moveable parts are not machined aluminum.  I don't have any pictures but the part that holds the nut in place on the hinge is all rusted and looks horrible.

The finish has come off all joint hinge area on my ciscos...not impressed.  I don't have those particular holders but I do have that joint hinge mechanism.

If it is legal in the state your hunting in then leave it be.  If it is a fair chase issue for you don't do it but we shouldn't bad mouth each other for doing something.  I personally hate drive hunting...however I use it to my advantage.  Used to have neighbors that would drive there property the Friday after thanksgiving like clock work.  We would always kill a good deer because of there techniques...Best part is they were the whiners when it came to not shooting good deer....

As far as my feelings on feeding them...well I hope to shoot a Booner next year in Saskatchewan while his head is berried in a pile of alfalfa....Good luck harvesting them any other way in the Boreal forests of the north!

Nice deer Jakey and everybody else who scored this very difficult season!

Here is the link to Capt. Vince's debut on the Outdoor Beat a Niagara County production I believe is on the local Fox channel in Buffalo.  Vince did a great job talking about some of the issues Niagara county fisherman are experiencing, as well as lake wide issues.

You would think it would be that easy to get people but it's not. I'm amazed at the lack of help with the pen projects. I understand about out of state guys but the local guys there's no excuse.

After all the complaining and crying from all angles the first scheduled meeting to talk with the DEC and 43 people show up....  I don't need to say anymore..

I brought it up at the meeting.   There are some facts missing from the discussion.  Nobody including the DEC thinks the dumping of the browns at scriba was a good idea.  It "was" an approved stocking location because of the access to the lake quickly.  Unfortunately the fish didn't disperse.  The weather was to rough for the barge to make its appointment to take the fish out into the lake.  From what I heard from others that time frame nobody was going out onto the lake period.  Not charter boats or rec anglers or commercial barge operators....

Once those fish are loaded in the stocking truck they are not going to be taken back to the hatchery period.  There is a disease transmission issue as those trucks are used to haul fish from all the hatchery's all over the state.  Anybody with any kind of fish culture or biology background can see this.  It has zero to do with unions, zero...Not sure where that came from other then reaching for excuses. 

WHAT DID COME FROM THE QUESTION BEING ASKED WAS SCRIBA WONT BE USED TO STOCK AGAIN!  Everybody makes mistakes and it happens.  There was a lesson learned. 

I was happy to hear the DEC admit it was a mistake at least they acknowledged that.  Now lets move on and keep asking questions

The DEC had a harassment program going for a couple of years on Oneida till the $$ ran out around 2013.

They actually have gotten money back for the program and have been doing it the last 2 years as well.  It was done by private guys getting there boat gas paid for but that ended. Now it is just the DEC doing the cormorant hazing.

don't they shoot them in Oneida?

They chase them off the lake using DEC boats...my thought has been they relocate to the south shore of Lake O.  I have asked this question several times and not been given an answer.

See you all then!
