Todd in NY

I've only used it once or twice at the end if the 2019 season, but you can see the contours on your fish finder as you are fishing.

I was told that you can record several lakes on a zero lines card and never fill it up in your lifetime.

I don't have the program for the computer. I don't need to save my custom maps on my computer to look at when I'm at home. Keeping it simple, by recording directly onto the ZL card saves me time and money.

I use the Zero Lines card in my Helix 10, alongside my Lake Master Northeast v2 map card. Seems to make custom charts exactly as I had hoped for.

Still no word on what his penalty will be. They should've known they couldn't just give him a slap on the wrist the first time he got caught.

I don't recall any record catch rates out of the Henderson NY area these past two years, regardless of species.

Not me, long walks hurt my feet

Thanks John, my name is Todd Bailey from Jefferson County.

As others have already stated, plan 2014 has not caused all of the flooding on Lake Ontario. We have seen a lot of rain and snow melt across the region.

Most of us are simply stating that under plan 2014, the IJC has been slow at times to increase the outflow on the SL River, to maximum safe levels for those downstream.

We are all hoping that plan 2014 can better regulate the water levels on Lake Ontario and down river. But we haven't seen anything promising from the IJC in the past 3 years.

You actually believe that slowing the flow in the st Lawrence and lake Ontarios water level has any impact on the water levels on the other great lakes?  What do u think they are slowing down Niagara falls?  Is this actually what u believe?  Please take the time to research how the system works before replying again.  That's embarrassing.  

How in the world did you ever translate what I said into what you think I said?

You should be embarrassed of yourself for putting your own words into my own words. You must think awful highly of yourself, which is a shame.

If you think that every gallon of water from Lake Superior makes the long journey to Lake Ontario, you are drinking some good koolaid.

The IJC controls the outflow of Lake Ontario, and has failed to properly control the outflow of LAKE ONTARIO on countless occasions since 2017.

You are among the minority here, who believes in a miserably failed plan 2014. You also need an English translator because you keep twisting other's words into your own translation.

You wouldn't use your arrogant attitude with me in person, so DON'T use it on a forum like some armchair tough guy!!! Check yourself and your attitude, or check out of here!

Yep, it rained, and the IJC had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Give us all a break and sell it to members on another forum. We're not buying it here.

It just dawned on me...

The reason that all of the Great Lakes are higher this year is because global warming is melting the glaciers 

Time to unfollow this topic. It's as bad as listening to someone who believes that gun control will stop gun crime 

The IJC has failed miserably to earn the trust and respect of citizens and businesses affected by high water levels since 2017.

Water levels on Lake Ontario were so low in September 2018 that I decided to pull my boat early (mid-September) while I still had access to a usable boat launch. By April of 2019 we had near record water levels again because they didn't increase the outflow soon enough.

I agree Legacy, and all of us wish we could answer that question, why they tried (with plan 2014) to fix something that wasn't broken.

Take off the tinfoil hat and look at facts.

What makes you right, and everyone else wrong? Maybe it's you who is wearing the tin foil hat.

An adult discussion can & should take place without pounding your chest and bashing other members.

Come spring time, the IJC will say they didn't see this high water coming until it was too late.

Exactly!!!

And it's mid-December. Not looking good for Lake Ontario.

I have a hard time believing any of the outflow numbers that the IJC reports.

Thanks!

Is the dock still in place at the public boat launch in Chaumont?

I think Berkley makes a clip-on line counter that is supposed to be more accurate than line counter reels.

We don't know the depth, or the strength of the current, or the type of life jacket he was wearing, or if he suffered a head injury when he fell out of the boat.

I'm just going by what little info was in the article I posted. I'm not trying to speculate any details.

Both men were wearing life jackets, but one man was under water for several minutes.

Trolling, jigging, shallow, deep... I like having options
