    Ha! Early April fools.

    The milfoil removal I have seen was paid for by a trust. In Skaneatles they remove the stuff by hand with divers. We may reach a point where we need to have a fishing tournament to support Lampricide treatments.

    When you have run out of ideas of lures to buy, you can always look in Europe. $19 per lure so I won’t use these to bounce off any structure but wow Rapala Europe has some great paint jobs. Darkagelures.com.

    Plenty around the piers in Niagara County.

    Your insurance agent and marine mechanic Hank thank you for waiting until a later launch date.

    Let’s hope all those three year old Canadian kings last year left some bait in the lake. I was a little concerned with what I saw on my trek into the Niagara gorge Saturday. Zero seagulls or any other fish eating birds were present. I have never seen that situation in my decades of going down there. Let’s hope the bait runs are ahead or behind and not a sign of the times.

    We are so far below the carrying capacity of the land in NYS for deer due to all the doe permits handed out plus the harsh winters in the Adirondacks. Adirondack deer numbers are already at a low .5 deer per square mile. Do we want that number lower?? My trips to Kansas are eye opening. Kansas gives you one buck tag and one doe tag. There are deer everywhere and they are not starving…. they are quite healthy. Our agriculture lands are much more lush and fertile in NYS. Other than no-hunting zones around cities/towns, the deer population has room for expansion plus allow for older age structure. Check out Minnesota forums on how they feel about wolves. People don’t bother hunting the northern part of the state anymore due to wolf predation. Nor has wolves prevented disease in those areas.

    I assume with the clear water it is primarily a nighttime stickbait bite?

    Nice work Pete, and thank god nobody has mentioned anything political, although there was a blood red Trump moon out tonight 😂

    I think a big contributor to upper end predator sizes (walleye on Erie, salmon and steelhead) is the demise of Emerald Shiner populations. This small baitfish used to be everywhere in the upper water column and would serve to jump start growth in those species until they were big enough to target alewives. Fish are starting from behind the eight ball now and have to play catch up. Steelhead are having to hunt deeper and deeper to find food. Steelhead are used to feeding up.

    3/9/25- report. Nobody was drifting around the fort. Youngstown launch is free of ice and usable. The fort launches are not open (sign says closed). The water is super low at the fort launches and only small boats are going to be able to get out. Olcott launch is free of ice and usable. The shoreline is not ready yet. Lots of loose chunk and skim ice along shore. You probably could fish from 20’ fow or deeper. Lake Erie ice is fading FAST!

    Please use your influence to convince them to stock the smaller sized rogue. Use Jedi-mind trick if you have to.

    As egregious as NYS spending 3.4 Billion dollars on asylum seeker support in 2024, that amounts to $170 per year per NY resident. Nowhere near the over $100,000 per person we are in over our heads with the national debt. The problem is much bigger than illegals in NY. Many of the projects getting slashed help generate money and jobs. Alewife surveys drive stocking recommendations that drive fishing quality that drives revenue around Lake Ontario. Cutting needs to be stepwise and well thought out. Instead, we have a drugged-out blindfolded kid in office swinging wildly at a Piñata. What we are doing to Ukraine is disgraceful. Reagan is rolling over in his grave.
