I have never been able to understand why StarCraft stopped making the Islander , SeaNymph ( Lowe) stopped making the Great Lakes special , Lund , Crestliner and others made great aluminum fishing boats suitable for the Great Lakes I have a GLS 22 and I love it

They’ll do more than kill gulls. Migratory birds , bats 🦇, protected bird species of all kinds. That’s just the start. There will be exclusion zones around every turbine. The power cable that was proposed for Gallo island wind farm , ran underwater to Oswego , through the best salmon pod fishing in the Eastern end of Lake O Imagine snagging that cable with a rigger ball if you don’t think they will put security around the turbines , take a look at the exclusion zone around the nukes at Nine mile pt. We used to be able to fish right through the warm water discharge , some of the best spring brown fishing ever. No more. We need to fight these monstrosities on every level.

The problem with your post is : Lake O is not a small impoundment and most bass boats and boats small enough to be propelled by electric motors stay inshore. When you venture offshore , you better have a seaworthy craft under you capable of handling the big lake. Your life depends on it. A kicker on a single engine boat is not just for trolling. It can get you back in if your main fails. Respect Lake O , or pay the price

Nuclear fusion reactors are far in the future. Fusion requires a miniature sun I have serious issues with creating suns on earth can we control these “suns” ? How do you contain this massive amount of energy and heat ?

I get that we need to reduce our carbon footprint. My concern is the way our government is going about it. Great that we are being mandated to go electric on everything. Where does the electricity come from. Fossil fueled power plants. Great idea to buy a generator to charge your batteries. What does the generator use for fuel. Gas/ diesel. solar and wind power are making great inroads , but at what cost ? Each wind turbine requires approximately 800 gallons of lubricant, oil. Solar panels are springing up all over NY state. Still have no idea of the cost of maintenance on these panels and no one seems to talk about it Nuclear is out of the question. We have seen the price of an accident and it’s way too high. We have defeated the off shore wind farms on Lake O , so far But I’m afraid we are going to lose the battle and the war.

The last time I looked at a map , the Dakotas were in the US. Domestic oil. Not begging the shieks and Putin to increase production at any cost The voters sent a message at the polls yesterday. And I can only hope the liberal agenda is going the way of the Dino 🦕

The Donald made the US self sufficient. We didn’t need imported petroleum or coal. It drove the price of crude down to historic lows The Joe took over , shut down the XL pipeline so his Ukrainian pipeline could furnish us oil fro Russia at much higher prices ( putting money in Joe and Hunters bank acts. ) Trump told the Chinese to pack it in their azz. That pissed off a lot of US corporations that have sold out for profit And Joe has 3 more years to finish the US forever

Upwellings happen all year long on Lake O. We would go for a swim in the evening from our cottage , water was like bath water. Get up the next morning and jump in for a quick swim and it’s walk on water Temp in the 50’s mid July.

Looks like the alternator adjustment bolt

Can you say CG. Always available on16. Been towed in by them and no charge Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I remember those days too ! The original ESLO derby and the early days of the LOC Trucks and boats backed up to 104B on Lakeview Rd. Had a real person at the shack to launch ($5.00) From our cottage on Sandy pond you could look out over the lake and see hundreds of navigation lights on boats way before sunrise I’m afraid those days are gone forever. I lost my LOC fishing partner a couple of years ago and it’s hard to get anyone to join ( too early , too rough etc. ) the stocking reductions haven’t helped the fishery. I’ve been out as many times as possible this year , caught fish on (almost ) every trip , buts it’s nowhere near what it was Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

She was rolling out of the NE on Wednesday. Fishable but not comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Been there done that. Had some great breakfasts out if it though 🤣 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I totally agree. The wind was non stop 🛑. I had zero days when it wasn’t at least 3 footers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It looks like corrosion from contact with pressure treated lumber. Are your bunks pt? How about stringers ? You CAN’T use pressure treated in contact with aluminum. It eats it just like in your pics Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
