Thanks Justin. It never gets old sharing the many different phases of the Lake Ontario fishery with experienced fishermen and newbies alike. Glad you got to jump at the chance. It was a pleasure to have you guys onboard.

I considered Azek on an aluminum boat project but did not like the rigidity. I would opt for the marine plywood or starboard. If you opt for the starboard it is more costly but they offer a diamond pattern that would not need to be covered with vinyl or carpet. I would agree with the posters who would cover the plywood with vinyl instead of carpet. Good luck with your project.

Olcott shows water is higher now than at this time last year. Oh well, maximum nutrient loading again this year. Long live the KING.

I don't think they have considered it as the meetings are part of their work week.

Try to attend at least your local meeting. DEC uses these meetings as one barometer of the Lake Ontario fishery interest.

TTT. Also not mentioned in post brand new Sea Star steering installed in 2015 and power planer retrievers added in 2016.

And it is shameful for us NY residents. Good luck Jakey!

We've been told(Niagara county fishery advisory board) to expect high water again. They(IJC) are sticking to their guns with the 2014 plan. They are blaming the flooding on a wet spring and gambling that it won't be as wet this year.

Good posts guys. The most important thing(especially with whats happening with the "TV hunters") is APPRECIATE the deer and even each other--as long as good sportsmanship is practiced. Too many horror stories of deer disrespected because "it was the wrong one". WHAT? Of course all hunters want the big racks, but its definitely gone too far and is ruining it for some. We have to have "numbers"-- each other--or the pursuit will be slowly legislated away. We can't lose sight of what deer hunting is truly about--venison for the table. That is truly the only way to hold off the anti hunters. It is the only justification that will stand the test of time as society drifts further and further away from this type of pursuit and heritage. Hunting is for managing deer numbers and harvesting (what is obvious to many) food for humans. For centuries big racks have been desired and revered but it was a bonus. Certainly there is nothing wrong with hunting for big racks as long as the venison is used, and certainly letting the young bucks grow is a good practice. It is sad however, to hear a young hunter criticize another because of a deer he took cleanly in a sporting manner. There is certainly room for all of it, some land is fit to be managed and some parcels are void of game an hour after the crops are cut or the first shot rings out. The most important thing is respecting the game and each other while realizing there are far more people that are indifferent to hunting that we don't want to see join the ranks of the antis.

That last statement is a bullseye. Good luck in the woods.

I told Joey the same thing! The ultimate would be to arrow a buck while salmon spawn unmolested in the stream below.
