  1. I 2nd God blessing Howard Tanner. I'm hoping this situation will change when the current admin changes. NY was going to address the cormorant epidemic--finally using lethal measures. That ended before it started when the Feds said they would sue if that happened. Yes, use OUR money to sue NY for wanting to control an epidemic. WE THE PEOPLE.
  2. I agree Gill-T. I am completely confident that we are headed to problematic excess alewives, especially with another normal to mild winter. It deeply concerns me that once again we are seeing a "rush to judgement" and the Kings are the "big bad wolf", and not the savior that they truly are. The reluctance to admit or discuss the predation by Lake Trout all across the Great Lakes is the telling part. We are now not only seeing the giant old alewife in the fish, but also last years hatch as well.
  3. I did a double take running by you Pro-Am week. You are amazingly talented!
  4. Always a great time. Should be some brutes around.
  5. Complete everything but wires. 8 cylinder. Brand new coil and cap. $150 firm--SOLD
  6. I don't think everyone knows where each other's point of reference is coming from. There are anglers contributing from both Lake Ontario and Lake Michigan on this thread.
  7. It will be great to have you back down west, Rod. By the looks of the excellent specimens we tangled with in Canada this weekend, the WHI and Niagara Pro-Am should be great!
  8. None of the regular anglers on lake Michigan that I have spoke to are buying it. One of the great tourney teams from Michigan was at the KOTL event this weekend and they feel the same way. Reports of this lakes demise have been greatly exaggerated. The bait is coming, and its coming hard. The Kings being caught are fat and large for their age. The emeralds are back in the harbors-critical for young trout and salmon to feed on and an important buffer from predators. For Lake Ontario the biggest deciding factor determining Salmon fishing quality is survival of the fingerlings.
  9. We beat the hell out of our Cannon dual axis rod holders with daily use. They have held up well and are user friendly. I have no experience with the other comparable brand.
  10. Great to have all the Classic format events working together again. Kudos to all tourney chairmen.
  11. Chris I've had very good results/life out of napa marine batteries in a similar 24 volt system.
  12. Great job Oak guys! The final chapter of all this is to make sure they do not get eaten by the cormorants when they are released. Whether its direct stock or the vital pen fish the cormorants get too many. Region 8 reps are interested in knowing where any nests are along the Oak. They are willing to conduct control measures but they must know where the nests are. Thanks to DEC's Connie Adams for getting this rolling.
  13. Pat will be missed. Always around as a Tourney competitor and a valued volunteer who helped with the pen projects. His wife and family are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Sandman.
  14. You can either have it professionally glassed or if its in a low traffic area you could install an inspection port.
  15. Reminder, 9am THIS Sat April 9th. Pen fish show in the catch of Lake Ontario anglers at a rate of 2:1. Volunteers at all the pen sites are valued and crucial to the success of these projects.
  16. Howard Tanner is a hero of mine. Always wanted to meet him-- please shake his hand for me if you get the chance. Not many gutty decisions being made like that anymore. So many positive changes have occurred to the Great Lakes because of his decision. I grew up next to a worthless sea of dead alewives. Time to relax the over zealous phosphorus control, pretty blue water is sterile. As for wild Chinook, they are the cream of the crop but so much of Great Lakes trib habitat is unsuitable. Time to create safe zones for the greatest fish that swims to spawn without harassment.
  17. I'm not sure what they are called these days but the old Jensen "Hot shot" side planer that they made for rivers would be ideal for flat lines off your Kayak.
  18. With the forecast, we will see you there. Thanks Tim.
  19. This is done out of the goodness of the Olcott fire company, made up of volunteers. We are very fortunate to have them in the harbor.
  20. Yvan , if nothings changed with the new weigh in plan may be a good idea to post here and on pullers the new public weigh in venue.
