I fish mostly out of Sandy Creek these days so I was thinking specifically about the state launch.  

I wouldn't recommend leaving your boat there unattended overnight. I have seen evidence (broken window glass) of vehicle break ins in the lot, and have directly spoken with a person who had his vehicle broken into while fishing during the day. To leave anything of value in that lot overnight would be a crap shoot. 

Renting a campsite at Hamlin Beach would be a better option.

I've checked in the neighborhood of 40 more LE walleye(legal and shorts) since the original post and never seen another affected fish...... 

Took a limit there yesterday. 55 - 65 fow. Harnesses and flutter spoons were the ticket off riggers and wire diver rods, but the harnesses caught a lot of silver bass too. 

I fished out of SP today solo, and took 4 legal fish and 5 shorts.....never hooked a fish over 20". the "best" screen was 45 - 55 off the park. Harnesses off a diver took the most fish.

Which harbor where you fishing out of?

sturgeon point, but the fish were much closer to the SBH.

added a pic.

We got some Erie eyes this past weekend that had small (1/8" - 1/2"),  whiteish/clear, wormlike (or leechlike) parasites attached to both sides of the tail, and behind each pectoral and pelvic fins..... The fish appeared healthy otherwise, and the flesh was normal. Some of the fish had as many as 100 of these hitchhikers............Any Ideas on what they were?

10' between the cannonball bait and the stacked bait has worked fine for me ........... just make sure the bait behind the cannonball is under the surface before deploying the bait you plan on stacking. 

A black NK28 with yellow diagonal tape and a white back has been money for me this spring.............. during overcast conditions.

Sandy Creek , Hamlin...... yes they're in.

Not sure why but I just did

 I'm not sure either, but congrats, it's exciting as hell ......... I think it's all part of the process..... realizing that you don't have to box everything or shoot everything, just because you can......

Use gobbles with caution...... Often, it'll attract more hunters than birds.

If you're coming to Wilson in the spring, you'll probably be fishing prior to flea season. And Wilson is a great port to fish out of in May.... or any month for that matter.

 I found Sk8man's point of view to be great reading.

Roger that..............

My experience with Remington products varies. I've got a bdl in 30-06 that has excessive headspace, several 870 Expresses that won't reliably cycle, and several 870 Wingmasters that perform flawlessly. I would take an older beat up Wingmaster over a brand new Express model any day......

I think sales drop are market wide, and pretty much due to the administration change. Sandy Hook had implications with investors in Cerberus Capital Management, the owners of Remington. Remington was cleared of any wrongdoing in the lawsuit against them in the Sandy Hook shooting. 

I've used the same wire diver rigs for Erie walleyes and Ontario salmon for years.
