Todd in NY

No problem.

Their web site says they will dive 10-20ft. I sometimes use one on a flat line because I don't run copper or lead core. They don't publish a dive chart for the mini's.

I'm sure he meant that he caught 37 lake trout and 4 salmon so far this season

I can see where that could be a problem. Those ships are hard to maneuver quickly.

It's 2-3ft higher than last year and we still had cargo ships run aground on the St Lawrence this year.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing the cool video. I was waiting for those bait fish to mimic the ones in Finding Nemo, and form into an arrow to point you in the "right" direction . My son told me it was based on a true story, but he was real young back then.

Just imagine what our shorelines would look like without these dams...

How Deep Were The Great Lakes Before The Dams? I found these interesting side profiles of the Great Lakes that shows how the dams and rivers change the water levels from Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean. It makes it look like the 3 dams on the St Lawrence River add close to 200ft of depth to Lake Ontario, give or take the natural elevation changes before the dams were built on the river.

I think these high water levels are the new "normal". Floating docks are a way to adjust to the ever-changing water levels, but there are plenty of businesses, marinas, and individuals who can't afford to just go out and pay cash for new docks. Heck, look at how many state boat launches have been affected. I wonder if they'll raise the cost of boat registrations and fishing licenses to help pay for boat launch and dock modifications. They should make the IJC pay for that rather than the tax payers, sportsmen and boat owners.

IJC Reducing Lake Ontario Outflow I guess the lake is low enough for the IJC now... http://wrvo.org/post/ijc-lowers-outflows-lake-ontario-angering-some-property-owners

Prayers sent for all of you, as well as for the doctors and medical staff.

Where do you find 500 FOW out of Henderson? They call it Lake Ontario up here, but that's where the similarities end. It's a long boat ride just to hit 200 FOW out of Henderson. The conditions seem to change drastically every 3 or 4 days anyway.

This article is from January 8th, 2015, according to the top of the page. I don't know when it was printed in the newspaper. Definitely reads like propaganda to gets people's support before it was implemented (plan 2014).

Great job to all who helped out! Can't wait for a fishing report, Mike.

Nice catch, Tim!
