RUNNIN REBEL

I will be going to dinner again tonight with the Vessel Kaho crew before they depart Rochester and trawl their way east towards Oswego. POST UP any questions you may have that I can ask them on here and I will try my best to get some answers. Please keep it factual and civil ... Thanks Todays trawl to the DEEP WATERS at Scotch Bonnet Shoals/Canadian waters was canceled due the dreaded North east winds Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

Here are separate test being done on the smelt and all classes of Alewife Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Meeting the Capt and crew of the research Vessel Kaho last night in port of Rochester, I was able to see a joint information collection venture between USGS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service. UNBELIEVABLE. The tests they were performing and the data collecting was great to see. I am going to need more time to relay this information on line here. As I am at work and leaving for Canadian fishing tournament in a couple days Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

GILL-T That is a good question, understanding the time scenario that salmon are raised and released before this critical spring trawls/acoustic information is even collected and analyzed. I have brought that up many times and the Hatchery is not in favor of raising salmon or any other species to have them destroyed/killed for many reasons including moral. I took a 525 mile trip around the whole Lake a week ago to see the Canadian natural rainbow & Salmon producing streams/river systems and pen rearing at multiple Canadian ports on a guided tour......The Canadians are well prepared to increase natural reproduction of trout and salmon. DON'T COMMENT ON THAT..... I did not think that was possible until my entire Canadian shoreline tour. I am waiting patiently all mornings now, checking beach/coves at home before sun up/before shore birds/diver ducks/loons/Sea Gulls and Brown trout eat up the breeding-stressing dying . I have not had a die off in a couple years now, but would love to see more dying alewife than mouths to feed on them. I am headed to dinner with the Capt. and crew of the USGS Kaho vessel now in Rochester. Which incidentally I took my wife to that vessels christening in Oswego. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

DNRoch I thought that way also for the majority of the last 35+ years about MOST government agencies. Then I got involved with most every agency involved . Both government & private and heck even college professors from Brockport college. 1980's with Dr Jim Haines---Rainbow trout tracking to currently Dr.Jock at Brockport with thiamine studies on Atlantics and the health of our Pen reared Salmon. So with that said I would like to invite you personally to dinner with me tonight with the Capt. and crew of the USGS Trawler KAHO in Port of Rochester-WEATHER RELATED -Not that nice up on the west end of lake now. To discuss and show appreciation for their dedication above and beyond. I realize this is short notice. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

DNRoch you are correct. Those elder adult alewife are the only breeding stock we have the next couple years before these recruit numbers move up to breeder age. The acoustic trawls begin soon at night time and will give us the better additional information on the Young of the year crop from last year. GILL-T...........The king cut decision had to be made LAST YEAR, before egg taking was happening and before that the # of eggs to be taken was needed and before that stakeholder meetings happened to inform and discuss preventative action and before that a concern was noticed by the same science/boat crew you were with and others doing lake surveys. So to wait till last week and now you feel the boat science and their efforts were wrong about 2 years in a row of missing Alewife population lake wide in the US & Canada ????? HIND SIGHT is always %100. I Think even Vince would agree the evidence the survey crews provide are accurate now and then. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

Yes... DONUTS...Nice job Chad. Bruce the technical answer is 0730 to 1730 Hours... Please explain the "time Math" To Gary Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

Bruce, You are scheduled for the DEEP water (175 Meters) off Rochester tomorrow. Starting in Canadian waters then south. Bring passports or Enhanced Drivers License. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

Thank you Vince & Nick and Chad and Bruce for taking the time to see the Science side of this Tremendous Lake Ontario Fishery. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL Bruce is Sam or Gary going as well ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

To everyone who supports or thinks the "2014 Lake Ontario/St Lawrence Plan" was a good idea, Could you please help fill sand bags at your favorite Lake Ontario port or stream/river. I understand Muskrat and pickerel objectives BUT having our Pen reared Salmon in fast flowing MUD WATER and wiping out most if not all natural reproduction on the US side should have some consideration, After all the Dam system on the St Lawrence river was built up in the 1950's for just ONE POURPOSE--- To save Human lives/help prevent property damage. And yes the Out flows from there of Lake Ontario waters were just DECREASED AGAIN. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

Scott you are right on . Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

I just traveled over 585 miles around the entire shoreline of Lake Ontario this past Tuesday. Did some sight seeing on a few of their pen rearing sites and visited a few streams to see the natural rainbows running. Purposely hit most ports from Toronto east to Kingston,1000 Islands... .... PLEASE go see ANY CANADIAN PORT.... No "environmental estimating" up there. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL

GREAT WEATHER. Everyone is welcome to join. Jerry RUNNIN REBEL
