  4. Just got home from the meeting in Jefferson County on the proposed wind turbines being built on Lake O! It was a unanamous vote to reject any wind power on the easter shore! Lets hope Oswego County and all others follow suit! Oh and by the way Kessel was there and said that Niagara county was all for wind power on the Niagara Bar so start asking your county legislators if this it truth or more BS from Kessel!

  5. All good points and good info! If I were you leave a good thing alone and as long as it aint broke dont fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aftermarket can be difficult to assemble and not always worth the savings over oem so if you do go efi I would suggest going with a Mercruiser system. The cost of the systems would take years to recoop in fuel savings and the chance for failure is still there and harder to diagnose! Just my opinion and I am a Mercruiser tech with 18 years expierence and well versed when it comes to efi!

  6. Well said Paul! its hard to sum up the lakes status when your just over 2 decades new to the lake! to those of us that have fished it longer than you have been alive we are estatic that the lake is still producing good numbers and good size which we were sure would go the way that some of the other fisheries have gone! To the DEC and other orginazations that have helped maintain our fishery we solute you and please keep up the good work!

  7. I am not from out of state, actually grew up on the shores of Lake O, but solely rely on out of state non resident fishermen to make my living and yes, they pay more for licenses and should be allowed and always will be allowed the same rules as residents!

    Back to reasons to support the 3 rod rule

    1) we are allowed 15 hook points per rod, why not decrease the number of hook points per rod and add another rod per person. 15 is a little excessive for one rod.

    2) with the array of ways to present a bait such as planer rods etc that spread our lines it is possible to run upwards of a dozen or more rods off the back of most boats without as much as a tangle and allow the fishermen more opportunity at success

    3) The reason behind the 2 rod limit was implied for statewide regulation for reasons that dont realy apply to the great lakes, adding a 3rd rod would not harm the fish or the fishery.

    4) many boats are rigged so that a larger spread is easily fished and when there arent enough anglers on board the productivity is much lower, it should be up to the discression of the angler to the number of rods run!
