Very nice gesture. Thanks for that

More good info that I was not aware of. Thanks

Thanks for the information.

Sounds intelligent but I call BS. I was very involved in the fishery. invested and very concerned and if memory serves the USA did zero lamprey control for 2 years. 2020/2021 and very little in 2022 because of covid restrictions. Don't know what Canada did but I do know they were just as shut down as the US was during that 2 year period.

Then you should be aware of what happened to the lamprey program during covid.

Any federal funding thats withheld from NY state will be because your Governor declared the state as a sanctuary state. Illegals before citizens. Perhaps contact your governor about that but don't jump to conclusions as far as the fishery goes.

It is.

Or at least wait and see if the doom and gloom actually takes place.

Stick with CNN and MSNBC. You'll do just fine.

Hey Zeke. Hope all is well.

CNN? LOL.

My Capts license covers me in any state in the country. I read the same thing about the rental boats in NY but never did any further research on it.

TDS is all. Toms probably a good guy and misunderstood something.

Pretty confident it will.

Don't know what your are referring to. Please explain as I'm not objecting to anything. I would be glad to simplify things for you. When the new administration took office in 2016 the big deal was how the great lakes would suffer, the air and water quality would suffer due to de-regulations and lack of funding. Turns out the funding increased and the Great Lakes benefited immensely. Anything else you don't understand feel free to ask. Thats my past experience.

See what I mean? I tried my best not to get political and stated undeniable facts from past experience and it's a clown show now.. Anyway keep asking the questions and keep us posted on whats going on. Thanks buddy.

No nothing wrong with asking questions. Speculation is not great though buddy especially if you don't want to make it political. Keep us posted please. Thanks. I'm hoping NY state doesn't funnel the resources into illegal aliens but I think you're OK as far as federal funding. Again appreciate you keeping an eye on whats going on.

2016/2017 all the doom and gloom was met with more funding from the administration. Donald JR is a big time sportsmen. You do know he would fish the Salmon river and Lake Ontario every fall, mostly with Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing if memory serves. I saw him eating in Altmar Hotel one evening in the fall at the same time I was having dinner. You seeing any bad stuff happening or you still working on speculation?

And the last 4 yrs have been just amazing. I turned you into ICE.

I've run Yozuri Crystal Minnows on the big pond for browns many times because they work so well on my home waters. They caught fish but not like I was hoping and not as good as Rapalas or Smithwicks.. Never ran Bay Rats as I didn't find the need to. Mexico Bay for 20 yrs and ran Charters for about 15. Retired now. Assorted Rapalas , especially split bodies, at a slow troll and Smithwicks when the water started to warm up, the Browns got more aggressive and I increased my trolling speed.
