And all those pretty offseason lure acquisitions have been sitting in a box for months due to yet another crappy weekend of weather. I have been trying to execute a weekend trip to Ohio since this fall and they all have been canceled 😡.
Yes, that is the location of your planer board amphibious landing. Interesting technique on display but we really need to adapt some wheels to the bottom of the planer boards
Ugly weather day featuring stiff wind, rain and a pleasant 39 degrees. Continuation of the misadventures of me and Andy but this time on a finger lake. As per usual plenty of FUBARS but we always manage to catch fish. We were an Atlantic away from a grand slam with a rainbow, laker and a giant brown that took a spin and glow ….
St Mary’s Atlantics have always been at risk. Without careful raising and stocking Atlantics, the fishery would collapse. The people running the program admit as much.
I think Captain Hanley would like to be out fishing perch with his clients right now but can’t because of the ice. His business is affected by the boom. He also lives near the Lake Erie shore, he knows his heating bill is higher. Before the power authority could renew their last lease and place an ice boom, the power company paid the local government a good chunk of coin because they knew the boom has a negative affect on home heating bills.
I think I can speak for everyone within the LOU community and say thank you Pete for representing all of our interests on this important international matter.
Glad to hear about Emeralds! Every trib and ditch around here used to have runs that you could dip for them. They are gone from most places since the bad winters of 2014,15 where VHS reared its head. I hope they make a comeback. Critical species.
Fished the Wilson and Olcott piers for a bit this morning hoping the approaching front would have them chewing. No fish caught plus the absence of any Seagull poop on either pier has me believing the bait is still off the bank a ways. One boat seen off Olcott that held up two skinny Browns. No ice around and the water looked great.
