I don’t know about the ecosystem. But it sure is helping the bottom line of the St Lawrence Seaway. Shipping more tonnage later every year. Need high water for that. By the way , the Seaway has already helped the LO ecosystem they introduced the zebra and quagga mussels , spiney and fishhook fleas , sea lamprey , round gobies , and a dozen or so other invasive species. It’s all about the money. They could care less about property damage and sport fishing Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

There must be interference from electronics or the magnets on speakers. Ritchie compasses can be adjusted. There are two screws on the base. You can google the instructions Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fredo's Bro says the lake level is the new norm..
chinook35 replied to Bozeman Bob's topic in Open Lake Discussion
That’s right. The upper Great Lakes are the faucet and the St Lawrence River is the drain if the faucets are running full blast , the drain needs to be wide open or you have a flood -

That’s The reason the draw down starts in Jan. The St. Lawrence seaway needs to keep the level high in the channels. Shipping season ends on Dec 31. Then the draw down starts. Way too late to help Lake O Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

That doesn’t sit well with the Seaway boys that want shipping to continue as far into winter as possible. It’s all about the $$$$. If they drop the level, the ships can’t carry as much cargo and money is lost There is much more to this than we will ever know Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
I spent 3 hours at the hatchery today. Lucky13 ‘ s take us right on Beaverdam brook was devoid of fish except for about 20 kings at the mouth of the ladder. They said the egg take is on track , but I’ve been going to the hatchery virtually every year for the past 10 or so , and this is the sparsest run I have witnessed.

Talk about bringing back memories. The Rhinegold fire dept sponsored field days and tube races. Rode the river many times both as a registered team member and a pirate. Almost drowned in the black hole one year Don’t know where that raft of tubes came from , but it saved my life Been fishing the lake since the mid 70’s and one thing is for sure. It is a different fishery now than 40 years ago Some bad some very good Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Lmao. I wish they would bring snagging back for just a week. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen. We would stand on the bridges and watch these guys , most of them drunk , snag a fish , cross 20 or 30 lines , fall down in the river , fights all over. Fishing ?

Next project autopilot. My GLS 220 is a manual steering mercruiser Alpha 1. Any bodily have input on autopilots ? I don’t intend to change to hydraulic. I’m looking at the Octopus system. Yea or nay ? My bungee cord autopilot works but doesn’t hold a course very well. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If the system has been dry for a long time the wheel cylinders are probably all rusted up. You’ re too far away for me anyway. I’m in Watertown NY thanks anyway -

Where is the trailer located ? Are the brakes functional ? Or do they need to be overhauled ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
