    It is mandatory to monitor channel 16. It is the emergency and hailing frequency In general, any vessel equipped with a VHF marine radiotelephone (whether voluntarily or required to) must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radiotelephone is not being used to communicate.

    A word of advice. Don’t drink out of those gallon jugs you see on the ground at truck stops. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I use a plastic milk crate. I found a heavy duty one at Byrne dairy. The Wally World crates are flimsy Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    If the water level is higher this year than last the launches will be unusable again https://www.whec.com/news/tracking-lake-ontario-water-levels/5681927/?cat=565 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The advice is to shelter in place. We ALL pay taxes. Just because someone has big bucks they don’t have the right to endanger others. Stay where you are. Bringing the virus to your summer palace is selfish and irresponsible Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I’m unsure of legality , but imho , it is irresponsible to risk catching and thereby spreading this virus. I intend to wait and hope that they contain and are able to treat this thing. The sooner it’s contained. The sooner we can all get our lives back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I always use Mason 150# coated cable on my probe side. The fish hawk doesn’t require coated cable , that’s a plus. If you get the fish hawk , spend the extra $ and get actual depth. It is an eye opener Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    There are tons of information about blowback and depth. The thing you have to consider is geometry. The angle of your cable has to be considered. I made charts years ago telling how much cable must be out to reach a certain depth at a certain cable angle. There are times , especially in currents , that it takes 150 ft of cable to reach a depth of 100 ft Don’t make the mistake of thinking that havingv70 ft of cable out , you are fishing at 70 ft. And don’t let your sonar (distance finder ) trick you into believing that your weight is at the same level as the fish. It’s not. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have mag10 STX cannons they handle 16 lb troutman weights without a problem. I’ve been fishing Lake O since the late 70’s. My experience with weights: stay away from pancake weights , in a current they take on a life of their own and wander causing MAJOR tangles. I have 10 and 12 pound finned balls. Hardly ever use them. Keep one on board as a spare ( hope I never need it lol) 10 lb would be ok down to about 50 ft. After that the blowback becomes problematic 12 is minimum 16 is better , especially if you are sending a probe down Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Canadian laws are strict. Porta potties are illegal and as previously mentioned flare pistols are considered weapons and are illegal. Check with customs about what to do entering Canadian waters. You can get an ontario license on Hill island , just over the bridge from Wellesley Island. I used to get my Can license every year , I fished Charity shoal and it’s very easy to stray into Can ada A violation will probably mean you will be towed to Kingston and pay a hefty fine. You may even lose your boat and equipment Be cautious Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    That’s why I have a 12 gage loaded with magnum 000 buck in my closet. Don’t have to be Annie Oakley with that. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    A felony is a felony. He gave up his rights if he committed the crimes he is accused of
  16. chinook35
    Innocent until proven guilty. That’s the way it works. But if the allegations prove true and he is guilty. A slap on the wrist is unacceptable. These are felonies. He needs to lose all rights to gun ownership. Forfeiture of his guide and hunting license. He should lose his fishing charter business in the mix. That probably won’t happen He would just put the business in his wife / girlfriend name and business as usual. Any body who uses his services , if he is found guilty , has no right to call themselves sportspeople Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Floating docks would be nice. The problem is , you need a boat to get to them. Parking lots are under a foot ( or more ) of water Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Enough censorship. If the guy needs a model 37 barrel , let him advertise. I had a 12 gauge model 37 years ago. That gun killed on both ends. Awesome recoil Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Exactly why I am glad to see more and more input by officials , Elected and appointed , like the recent forum in Watertown. The more pressure put on the IJC to re-evaluate and change p-2014 , the better They can’t go on ignoring the fact that the plan is NOT working. Or at least the way the majority of the public wants. It may benefit someone. But definitely not the majority Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
