Gill-T

Wayne and Niagara county represented. Need Jefferson, Cayuga, Orleans yet.

Bonus Ontario County volunteer has stepped up.

Oswego County has been spoken for. Thank you.

Ok, got a Monroe County volunteer. Thank you.

I could use some volunteers that live in the counties that border Lake Ontario. I am going to start sending letters to county and state government representatives and would like the letters to come from residents within those counties as they would have more of an effect. Either PM me your name and address and I will send the letters on your behalf or if you don't feel comfortable with that I will send you the letter and you can send it. Counties include Jefferson, Oswego, Cayuga, Wayne, Monroe, Orleans and Niagara. I think letters should also come from the primary stakeholders such as Charter Associations as well as LOTSA and ELOTSA etc. Letters will also be sent to Anthony Picente Jr. NYS AC president, Governor Cuomo, our members of congress Schumer, Gillibrand,Hanna, Maffei etc. ***Please inform me of what county you represent**** Get'r done

I never had the donation prompts come across my screen as the originator of the petition so I don't know for sure what info was posted, however, I got the feeling that the site was misrepresenting the cause. If people felt they were giving financially to a good cause then the petition site probably was not clear enough of the intentions and direction any donations would go. I felt it sounded slimy and I did not want my name associated with them. I think it may have taken to August before we got 1000 signatures with the rate we were going. Important people saw the post and most of the heavy stakeholders agree with the premise of naturalizing Kings so most of the intended result was achieved. I know some of the DEC and Fish and Wildlife people have been following.

I love fine print.

A lot of good discussion has been spawned from this topic and it is clear the primary stakeholders around Lake Ontario are for the proposed changes. I will attempt to do what I can behind the scenes with an understanding that at some point all our voices will need to be heard and I will need your help. With fishing season upon us it will be easy to forget we have one hatchery servicing our Pacific species and it is in a state of disrepair. The DEC needs our help and support. Tight lines Chad

Just getting started.

Sorry guys I didn't sign up for this crap. I am going to try to burn it down.

Hold on guys where are you seeing a place for a donation? I am not asking for donations and I really know nothing about the security of the petition site so if you are getting any prompts about donations I would tell you to ignore them. Thank you.

This will make you sick. The feds ok the Columbia River power projects to feed the grid on the west coast and in turn destory the largest salmon runs the world has ever had in one system. Now we all pay for the mistake. I think it is time the federal government sent some of that money this way where it can be better used!!!!! http://www.taxpayer.net/library/article/feds-spend-3.3-billion-on-salmon-recovery

Every tournament I have been to on Lake Ontario there were people tripping over themselves to ask for fish after weigh-in. I have no doubt that they exceed the in-possesion limit, but who cares as the fish were put to good use. Tournament anglers do ice their fish as fish loose weight if they dry out so they are well cared for.

With a name like kingpossible I would hope you would be on board! Just the beginning. Steelhead and to some extent Browns have become naturalized. Rally the troops in Michigan you get too many Lakers shoved into Lake Michigan for most sportsmans' liking. Thanks for supporting our little experiment.

It is my understanding that Canada will be going to almost exclusive pen rearing.

Saltists without line counters for riggers. Penn 209 could have been used for 1 or 2 colors, wire line bottom bouncer for lakers, etc.

Thanks dbutts. Just go to the 1st page, and click on the link. It will take you to the petition site.

There are 15,000 + members on this site and so far 200 signatures. WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO! Now I know what a telethon host feels like.

Ah Dan....I don't know you but I would like a new GMC Suburban.

There was a time when you could not use eggs on Naples Creek. The runs of rainbows jumping grimes glen was alaska-like. Not much happening there now as eggs are legal. I think if you identified natural reproduction streams and hold a no-egg restriction on them it would make sense. The polluted creeks where the meat-hunters prowl allow eggs and high creel limits. A little something for everyone.

State government officials that work for us.

Cool! Get-er done!

I can't address state officials and convince them of the needed change if I only have 100 signatures! Get it VIRAL.

Thank You
