Yes! Awesome.
Got a new I-Pad in May. I of course got the lights but no sound. That’s more than half the fun.

Good idea about the possible frozen impeller Frogger. I gotta pass that on to my buddy who hunts divers in the second duck season

Definitely a good idea however the law does state it needs to be worn only while “underway” in a 21ft or less boat. At least that’s the way I read it.

Well that sucks!!! I will watch for any signs of it for sale or being used on the Bay
Check your PM’s

If all you really are worried about is pigtails then just splice in some 80lb braid using an improved Albright Knot connection to wire so all the wire is reeled onto the reel during storage.
That definitely solves the curly Q issues on the wire. If 80lb braid is not available, 40 or 50 lb mono works also. Even gives you a little shock absorber as a bonus.

Subject: Coalition to Protect Great Lakes Shorelines - weekly update
CRISIS ON THE GREAT LAKESSave a Way of Life
WELCOME!Like you, we care deeply about the damaging high water on our Great Lakes, which is destroying natural habitats, public lands, residential and commercial property. The Coalition is fighting to better protect riparians from high water, flooding and erosion.
YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD!
BREAKING NEWS: Lake Ontario St. Lawrence River Board RESPONDS to Coalition Email Campaign!
Read the letter
Takeaways:
1. LOSLRB has considered deviating as we have asked them to, but decided against it.
2. But if the water on Lake Ontario climbs from now until the end of the year like it did in 2018, We MUST PUSH FOR ACTION #3.
(3. Operate under 2020 winter deviation rules
a. Respect I-Limit but operate up to 1st tier F-Limit (22.10 m) Jan-01 to Feb-28
b. Operate at 2nd tier F-Limit (22.20 m) Mar-01 to Mar-31)
Keep up the great work!
HERE'S HOW:
NEW! Email Campaign to Lake Ontario St. Lawrence River Board
Please send NEW! this email with your name/signature
To these email addresses this week!
Let your voices be heard!
We are asking for a technical solution to achieve balance for Lake Ontario riparians when it comes to water levels. Further details on the proposal are seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDnhbsxmHnA&t=59s
"TELL THE IJC"...what high water has done to YOUR property.
Take the survey
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!
Our friends at GLSL Cities Initiative want to put YOUR city on the map for stimulus funding due to flooding or erosion. Michigan cities are standing up and getting counted -- where are you New Yorkers? How about you Ohio? Pennsylvania?
Help them work for YOU by making sure YOUR town, village or city fills out this survey.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, THAT WE CHANGED OUR NAME....HERE'S WHY:
COALITION TO FIGHT PLAN 2014 is now....
COALITION TO PROTECT GREAT LAKES SHORELINES.
Why?
1. This better reflects the progress we've achieved in getting the IJC to recognize that Plan 2014 as administered is no longer working.
Evidence of that progress:
- An expedited review process of Plan 2014 and how it can be better administered
- The creation of a Public Advisory Group to liaise with the public during that review, 3 members of which are associated with our cause
- GAO investigation of the efficacy of Plan 2014
- The successful addition of a riparian representative on the Control Board (Bill Reilich)
- The hiring of a Washington D.C. firm to lobby for a more balanced application of Plan 2014
2. This new name allows us to build a broader coalition of great lakes partners dedicated to finding a better water level balance for riparians throughout the system - from Lake Superior through the St. Lawrence River.

GAO REPORT RELEASED

RECOMMENDATIONS:- The U.S. commissioners of the International Joint Commission should work with the Canadian commissioners to update the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Board communications plan and ensure that the plan incorporates best practices for public relations efforts, in particular defining target audiences and developing mechanisms to monitor and inform adjustments to strategies, and generally accepted principles for communicating risk-related information.
- The U.S. commissioners of the International Joint Commission should work with the Canadian commissioners to develop and enter into written agreements with entities that the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Adaptive Management Committee identifies as having information or resources that the committee needs to effectively monitor and evaluate the impacts of Plan 2014.
- The U.S. commissioners of the International Joint Commission should work with the Canadian commissioners to ensure that IJC fully incorporates the key elements and essential characteristics of the adaptive management process into a comprehensive adaptive management strategic plan for Plan 2014.

BRINDISI/MORELLE/KATKO RESPONSE

Lobbying Corner/Legislation to Support
STORM ACT: FEMA: Building Resilient Infrastructure & Communities (BRIC) EFFORTS TO LEVERAGE STIMULUS TO PREVENT EROSION S-LIMIT
Rep. John Katko (R-24) advocates an "S limit" to protect shoreline residents. According to his office, he"submitted a request to the House Appropriations Committee to require the IJC to establish an explicit S-Limit at 247.38 feet to protect the shoreline."
The Coalition has introduced the concept of an S limit in all its meetings with elected officials & has asked its lobbying partners to do the same. Montreal has a limit to protect it, and so does shipping. Shoreline residents should too.

Webster Park on Lake Rd doesn’t have a kayak launch or a swimming beach but you can access the lake from the shoreline. Plenty of parking also. Mill creek empties into the lake at the park and Four Mile creek is just to the east

I read that public comments on the proposed reg changes runs through November 8th.

I’m happy with my Scottys also. Be aware they take up a little more room because the spool is horizontal not vertical like others. If you go with Scotty get the boom mount rod holder which keeps the size down.

$3500-4000 for a new trailer. Clean looking and well maintained boat, however the owner did say if he was keeping the boat he would probably re-power. Hmm

Don’t hesitate to look out of the Rochester area. The western basin of Lake Erie is a great boating area with many boat dealers. This year may be a tough search because new and used boats are hot item thanks to the virus. Good luck

boats are getting stuck backing out of there slips. this hot summer has the weeds growing thick
Weeds in I-bay at the south shallower end are the worst we’ve seen in recent memory. Boat traffic is keeping the channels open to the marinas thankfully. Kayakers are paddling extra hard in the shallows
