    I have not seen any cormorants yet so glad they are going in now. Big wind coming should murk up water for them to hide. 

    Cormorants just starting to show up here on Irondequoit Bay.  :swear:   Good thing all the browns from Rome hatchery got stocked in this area already. Salmon coming to the Genesee river pens today.

    Light and variable are my 2 favorite words. Any forecasts with E or NE wind I'd go golfing. :grin:

    Somebody here on the LOU couple years ago recommended the app"Windalert" for wind forecasts. It's free. We've had good luck using it

    I was passing by Webster Park a little while ago and noticed quite a few cars and 4 trucks with tanks on th back in the pier parking lot. The trucks were from the Caledonia Hatchery. I spun around an parked a talked to one of the truck drivers. Driver said they were stocking about 25,000 browns. I didn't think to ask the size but from the tails I saw they looked about 6" maybe. Hopefully they won't get canabalized too bad.

    Very surprised to hear browns being stocked so early. Mid April to May 1st have been the dates in years past for Monroe Co. brown stocking. The Genesee Charter Caps usually get a call for assistance from DEC and several members show up to help. No calls this year that I've heard

    What a nightmare

    I just looked to see who is on line and there is #831 that is the most i  have ever seen! This nightmare covid 19 has everybody home and looking for things to see and do. This virus hopefully will not effect my fishing charters. I had my first customer ask if there is a travel ban can he get his deposit back, of course. This is getting scary with all the empty shelves everywhere. We are all good, but what the hell.

    Scary stuff for sure Bruce. Hopefully things settle down before you start getting real busy with trips. Drove to Florida couple weeks ago. Things just  starting to get spooky here with restaurant closings and such. Not sure I wanna leave though. NY sounds worse. 

    I saw a bumper sticker out in cattle/horse country on a drive across state yesterday.

    Dear sirs:
          We urge you to apply our tax dollars to cormorant management to reverse the devastating damage that is being done to Lake Ontario.   Zebra mussels, gobies, and now cormorants are a problem for our local ecology.
          Snyder Island is being decimated by roosting cormorants.  The soil is being effected by their excrement which is causing significant damage to native vegetation.  Each spring fewer and fewer trees leaf out. The same goes for other areas around Irondequoit Bay.
          Cormorants are having a negative effect on the Lake Ontario fishery.  The DEC stocks   game fish only to have their efforts devoured by cormorants.  The charter boat captains are losing customers and revenue due to these invasive birds being protected.
           
    Sincerely,

     

     

    This is the letter we have sent to the USFWS HQ. Use it as a guideline with your own specific examples and locations. This is the only way to get something going to manage these good for nothing birds.

    If we could produce and submit  a single response from the Lake Ontario United members that each of us could copy and send with an added story/experience of our own to more personalize the message, I believe more people would participate simply from the convenience and then our numbers could possibly have a little more weight.

           We were made aware of this several weeks ago at my I-Bay Fish & Game Club by a member who belongs to the Conservation Council. A letter was written with some specific examples of damage to Irondequoit Bay. We plan on getting as many of our 350 members as we can to forward the letter.

    I'll "try" and see if I can post the letter here as an example

    I surprisingly got really good life out of the Convector CV30D's.  I don't think you can get better value for money.

    Takota  600's are nice, but $$.

    Totally agree. Saltiest and Tekotas are top shelf reels. No question. However you can get 2 high speed Convector CV30DS's for the price of one of the others. Whenever I try to justify a new fishing purchase, I remind myself we fish the Great Lakes for maybe 4-5 months. It's not Key West.  :happy2:
