  2. Haven’t been out (disclaimer) but with all the East winds, based on past experience, fish are often high in the water column making it easy to fish below the fish. I take a lot of fish this time of year in East winds on 4-8 colors of lead all day long.
  3. Tough grind East wind bite tonight. Fished from Smoke’s creek to Hamburg shore. Maybe a fish an hour. All eater sized fish. Renosky’s and scatter rap minnows.
  4. I wonder how many of those are fish that made their way to shore are from the alewife survey. The fish that come aboard to be weighed do not live
  5. I would like to report a skunking. Launched out of the Catt. Saw 55 degrees in some bays but the fish weren’t there at this time. A couple of buddies went west out of Dunkirk and got a two man limit. Location location. On a really scary note….holy crap that fog bank that rolled in was some scary ****!! We could not see two feet in front of our face. The GPS got a little squirrelly at one point and I almost put the boat on the rocks. I pulled out my cell phone compass feature and got us back to our track but wow that was unreal. Clear skies with total sky visibility to zero in 2 minutes.
  6. Could it been an upwelling event with low O2 (Dead alewives) causing the bite to be off? Did you notice if the water had an odor?
  7. Ya baby!!! Give me more pollution!!! …… https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/senate-votes-to-overturn-epa-rule-limits-7-hazardous-air-pollutants-clean-air-act/
  8. Friday night the lake should be like glass.
  9. Friday night wind forecast is improving. Who is going out on night patrol?

  12. I call that “making memories “
  13. Clearly it was feeling self conscious of its football shape and took appropriate action.
  14. Flat bottom boat with 4’ waves ……
  15. I wouldn’t mind tying up to it for walleye nite casting. The water is moving in that stretch.
  16. Ah, glad you weren’t this boat at the Oak today.
  17. Jeepers, didn’t you just repower that boat recently? Boat repairs suck. Glad you got out and found some of your green pets.
  18. Gutting the EPA will cost us all financially when companies pollute and declare bankruptcy when they can’t/don’t want to pay clean up costs. Right now in my parent’s state of North Carolina, big pig farms want the EPA regulations gone. They routinely have flooding that dumps 10’s of thousands of gallons of straight up pig crap into the local waterways killing everything. There is so much Arsenic in local waterways down there that nobody can eat the fish. There can be some trimming of the fat across the board but gutting agencies will kick the cost to taxpayers down the road.
  19. I can’t deny he is a billionaire but I cannot ignore the fact he was born with a silver spoon and given the keys to kingdom by his father. I cannot ignore the fact he then pissed it all away and no banks would lend him money so he had to go crawling to the Russian backed Deutsche Bank to stay solvent and the conflict of interest it creates. I cannot ignore his love of Putin. I cannot ignore the fact that international banks are wavering in confidence about Trumps plan and we will have to pay higher interest rates on our bonds. I hope there are still some adults in the room to steer this sinking ship in the right direction……soon.
  20. Nobody is disagreeing that we need fiscal responsibility from our government. Unfortunately, the guy who’s businesses have declared bankruptcy six times is in charge. He lacks a basic understanding of the world economy. We are truly f’-ed.
  21. Skaneateles Lake no limits, no season for walleye. Without any other info, that would be the only thing I can think of.
  22. Say a prayer for the families of the USGS. Washington is shutting down the science center. (Try to keep your insensitive comments to yourself HB2) https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-swings-budget-ax-usgs-biology-research Looks the data from the alewife survey this year won’t get out.
  23. The USGS just got word they are being shut down. The netting portion of the alewife survey was completed but the behind the scenes numbers crunching and reporting is probably not going to happen. What a kick to the balls.
