    To start, I never said that your fisherman's opinion has no merit. Yes these are fishing regulation changes,but as part of a much greater whole and not exclusively for fishing management. There is a difference between trusting one opinion more than another as opposed to claiming to distrust the individual behind the opinion, although -agreed- with politicians there are way too many other purposes. And last I do believe us to be on the same side in this case ,which really is the well being and future of the lake, our differences lay in the method ,not the goal.

    I trust the DEC because they have the well being of the lake as their purpose.They try to create a healthy environment, while you want them to create an environment that is geared toward fishing. A healthy environment is about much more than fishing. That is why I claim that you have an ulterior purpose. As for shrapnel, If you ever tasted the real stuff you would not use it to compare our innocent differences of opinion.

    People who get paid to take other people fishing.

    I honestly trust the DEC a lot more than I trust an opinion from a financially interested party. If socialism has to be dragged into a discussion about creel limits, it becomes very obvious to me that the writer has at least one ulterior purpose.

    They had to lower the outflow because whole neighborhoods in Ottawa and Montreal were flooded. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    2 does not seem much, but most open water fishing is done with 2 or 3 fishermen per boat and charter fishing is often 6. We really are talking about 6 steelhead instead of 9 we should approach it as such. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I'm curious as to how you will accuse the Governor of letting the lake level drop too far if he lowers it now the way you want to. It pays to be informed before loudly expressing the mood you are in. Just for fun you should check the amount of water being released now. I know of a politician, whom you may have voted for, who would probably try to sell all the water in the lake after promising you that he would protect the lake.

    The Berkly line counters are are very precise. They work well for powerpro braids. But you must use them to let the line out to the desired length and then take them off the rod or they will just be in the way.

    With the torpedo 7 strand wire, you can untwist the wire every so many feet, slip a colored strand of yarn in and twist the line back into shape again. It is precise and will not move

    This setup would would have the primer bulb after the separator and the T would shut off the engine not being used

    I suggest Mal Pais in Costa Rica. Beautiful weather, beautiful surfing ladies everywhere, and great Mahi Mahi. Less than half an hour from shore. The Mahi is a better fighter than a musky. The place is not a tourist trap and the guides are laid back and good. My guide, a six foot six giant , nicknamed little one and his 25 foot boat gave me a fantastic trip at a great price. pm me if you want to know more.

    What about the guy on the south end of Owasco Lake?, Or even better Owasco Marine on 38A? Those guys are helpful and quite good at what they do.

    That's a good deal. Now all you have to do is figure out a way to catch a fish to put in the net

    I use it all the time when trolling in Cape Cod Bay while going after stripers using 5 or 6 ounce bucktails. It mimics the way that squid swim and fall back on the bottom. It also gives you a lame arm. with all the zebra mussels on the bottom of Lake Ontario it will probably get you hooks full of shells and no fish.

    You can , but it is tricky, because while using one engine you can cause back flow from the other engine which often ends up as sucking air from one engine to the other. One solution is putting check valves in both lines. The problem here is that often the negative pressure is not quite enough to activate the check valve and the problem may persist. Another solution is shut off valves in both lines after the T. In my experience, the most foolproof solution is using a multi directional valve instead of a T. It is a valve that has one intake (source) and 2 or 3 outlets . Whenever the shutoff inside opens one outlet, it will close the other and on top of that, it often has a complete shutoff as well. This is the fool proof one that I use. You will need only one primer bulb which is before the valve. This is a moeller fuel valve They come in more shapes and forms.

    I am tired of hauling my Islander 75 miles every time go to our lake house and the idea of permanently storing a squaire stern canoe with a small electric or propane/gas outboard looks more appealing every time I have to deal with the transport and launching logistics. The lake our house is on is Owasco,which is a small lake that I know like the back of my hand. My wife tells me what fish she wants for dinner and usually within the hour the fish is in the pan ( or not). LOL I call it Wegmans Lake.What squaire stern would you good people recommend and what power source should go with it?( I am currently rebuilding a 1993 9.9 johnson) My center of gravity is rather high as in around the shoulders, while my sense of balance is such that I need low seating in this canoe, maybe even outriggers. All opinions and advice are highly appreciated. Thank you.

    If you have one of these laying around and are willing to part with it, please send me a pm. The 94,5,6,7 are the same so that would work too. Cornelis.

    The problem with those guys is that they hunt blue fin. So they allow you on their boat for a fee, let you catch the fish and then will not let you keep it Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I checked out a charter out of New Jersey. They charge about $5000 which works out to be $800 per person. They stock free beer. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
