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 ….

Slot limits are used in fisheries management when a species is reliant on natural reproduction and is in trouble.

possession limits should help drive conversations between clients and captain.

Man, the winds need to stop blowing so we can all go fishing. ….

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.

I do mostly C&R on trout and salmon and those smaller fish mangle themselves on trebles. I think the smaller ones are more suited for the box.

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.

The walleye flossing season is in full swing on the Maumee River.

I can confirm there is a bunch of ice coming down the river this morning

Thanks Pete. Good stuff.

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.
