Tall Tails

This boat is as clean as they can be. The Owner was meticulous. This boat is Mint!

Can you provide a source for the 250k harvest for the cormorants? They are under federal control. The states literally have no say other then to apply for a limited harvest permit which ends up in 1200 range... I am not doubting you but would like to see where the feds authorized a 250k harvest on the cormorants. Our DEC hands are completely tied when it comes to those birds. They beg us in meetings to reach out to our officials and apply pressure.

They stocked Rome fish in more central and western basin area's. However the eastern basin has been getting Rome Browns for many many years. That is not the issue. We have a HUGE class of 2yr old alewives. Perfect size for the BT to enjoy and very unstable weather in April. I think it is a combination of the two. Lets not sound alarm bells till we aren't catching them in June and July.

The money is berried in the word "Sustainability"... You tell everyone you bring on the lake what they want to do.. Customers, friends, and family. After they have had fun trolling in 150 fow tell them this would be off limits once the windmills were installed. That was the past plan for Mexico Bay.. It would essentially stop the fishery in the bay.... No access within a 1000ft of any windmills...

B&W Customs in Sodus Pt can take care of that for you. Bill and Billy jr are the best around at Glass repair.

I would look at the fun ones. A-TOM-MIK Challenge, Fair Haven Challenge and the Little Salmon River Challenge. They are low buy in, low pressure fun events. Good Way to see how you stack up with some of the best yet not have a lot on the line. You can fish them all from Oswego/Little Salmon river area's.

What information can you provide about the impact of the reintroduction of the "native" species of Cisco/whitefish by the federal government that it has had on the food web/pyramid for the Alewife? They compete for the same source's correct? is there a correlation in your data that shows a drop in Alewife biomass with an increase in your Cisco/whitefish biomass over the last 8 to 10 years? Also is there another similar correlation with the smelt that you have found?

Its important to remind folks yes the projects were ended but the fish were reallocated. They did not cut the fish from being stocked. Thank you for that reminder. I did also leave out that direct stockings were eliminated in a few places as well. Those fish were put into the net pen # and re allocated to other direct stock locations.

Fair Haven and Sandy Creek but those fish got allocated to Oswego and the Oak accordingly. All based on fishing pressure and the survey. No less fish being stocked due to less pens. Yes an overall reduction in stocking but as a percentage the net pens are receiving actually more and less direct stocking in ports are taking place. Offering for higher survival.

Again more disnformation... The only way Lake Ontario Kings stay abundant is thru stocking... There is zero protections in place for natural reproduction. Nat production is simply a gift from Mother nature and adds to the fishery where it can. Please don't spread disinformation...

Huh?? Stoppage of net pen fish?? Where? Not sure where you are getting your info but that is simply not the case in anyway shape or form. Pen rearing is as strong as it ever has. Is there new guidance as to locations and numbers? Yes but certainly in no way has it stopped.

Just wait till the first big west wind... it can get as big as 4 foot waves there at least... I certainly wouldnt want my boat parked there.

The engineer they got to sign off on the mess.
