I don’t know why I take pleasure in getting plug fish but I got a couple more this morning

I left fish to find the derby winner offshore today. Trollled all the way out to 350’ and back. It was a futile attempt that didn’t bear fruit but I couldn’t believe how green the water was out there already. The water looks like it does in August.

They were on plugs third day in a row on the inside water

Great report. The good old times are now! FYI, try some plugs on your leadcore if it is rotting. We have had some good bonus junk line fish that are often the biggest of the day. Silver horde and jplugs in #4 size.

Just rolled into town myself

Looks like I am not targeting Browns lol 😂 congrats on what should be the winning fish!

Tons of three year old king mouths to feed. Expect lots of entries but all within ounces.

26 king, 28 Laker, 16 brown

I think I saw this property featured on a show about herring. I think it was a Wildfed episode.

After you just completed your alewife trawls, aren’t you sick of staring at herring??

From Captain Pete Alex’s page.

They had a weather delayed start so weigh-in didn’t start until 4:30. Go to king of the lake and they will post on their facebook page at some point.

Day 1 leaderboard.

It inspired my to run a dreamweaver orange slice spoon off leadcore.

Good king bite this morning out front 80-110’.

I think law enforcement is all under the same PBA union. The DEC ECO’s could not use lethal force if they didn’t have the protection of a large police union representing them. They would be put in jail or sued out of existence without the blanket protection of the PBA.

Great instructional video

Good luck in Canada! Plenty of kings around.

Nice!👍

Agree with what your concerns as a fellow taxpayer and anyone retired and on fixed income it is doubly a concern. I disagree with your view that wages have not gone up. Since COVID, there has been an uptick in wages. With the unemployment rate at historically low numbers, workers have more negotiating power on the open market where salary is concerned. The problem for government employees is that it is not an open market. Everything has to flow through unions and a budget process. A government employee does not have autonomy to shop around for the best offer. As such, government employees make less money than private sector. What keeps people in government positions is trading higher income for guaranteed benefits. Without those benefits, why work for less? There is a crisis with people entering law enforcement. There are only about 200 ECO’s statewide when there is supposed to be 332. As a group, ECO’s are underpaid, underfunded, and morale is extremely low for the way they are being treated.

I think there might be some of that involving benefits for SUNY police this time.

Update: negotiations have the ECO’s funded now in this year’s budget. Not funded are pensions at 20 years of service, no raises, no contract.
