I'll take this.  Will txt you in the am.  

Kings regularly make it into lake st Francis below the massena dams.   Ive seen them there in september-October many times.  They get runs up into the st regis River every year and end up being catchable at the first impassable barrier on the st. Regis.

Whats the bait?   Musky Candy?   You can't go wrong with black variants or perch variants on the larry.

Those restrictions were lifted back in August.   Good to go for Canadian waters.

Where are u located?

I ordered 4 of thier electronics mounts by phone back in November.  They took a month or so but received them a couple weeks ago.

Located in barker NY between olcott and oak orchard

I've got a 36v terrova and a 12v power drive that need to go.  Just taking up space in the garage.  Both work but are definitely in rough shape.  Take them to Tony and have them rebuilt or use them for parts.  $100 takes them both.  The terrova pedal alone is worth that much.

Price drop.  $400 takes it.  Also will include swivel base.  I have no use for the third as I only run 2 on my boat.   Good deal for a top of the line basically new downrigger.

Just picked these up from Tony.  Brand new boards and plugs.  Checked them all out today and all work as new.  Im keeping 2 of them for myself so I'm going to offer up the third one if someone wants it rather than keep it for a spare.   Located in niagara county.  $500 takes it.

Buy a minnkota terrova with autopilot. Use ur main for propulsion and the terrova to steer. Get boat going slightly under target speed with main. Set cruise control on terrova at target speed and hit north button to maintain heading.

Weird. I was just there 2 weeks ago on a friday and saw a post from a friend saying he saved him with a terrova part last week. You sure it's the right number?

That article is atleast 2 years old.  Emerald population certainly plummeted after 2016.  Schools in harbor and upper river used to be so thick youd lose bottom on your depth finder.   2018 and 2019 were especially bad with emeralds being almost non existent.  This spring definitely showed signs of rebound.  Hoping for the best.  Everything is cyclical.

Yowza. Makes sense. And spot on with the musky fisherman.  It belonged to an old time musky fisherman.

Now I wanna see the rest...lol

Great tool for the musky guy who's using baits that cost $100+.  

That article was geared more towards huron.  They are spreading from us to them.  They've been here long enough now that they arent expected to take off and populate in any crazy manor.  The biologist that talked about them at the NMA meeting a few years about suspected that if the population was going to blow up it would have done so already like Rudd or Gobys did.

You are correct about silver and big head carp being the most concerning.  Thanks for sharing that info as I don't fish Erie and only Lake O.  We only have common carp here for now.

Negative.  We have grass carp in Ontario as well.  They arent prolific anywhere but we have them.  Toronto harbor is known for the oddball catch.  The Erie population is successfully spawning and whatever Erie has, so does Ontario.

Did you read the article on where they figure it came from?  Lake Erie....  We've had grass carp here for years.  Some giants get shocked in the buffalo harbor.  This pic was one of many shocked up in small boat harbor last spring.  The big head carp and silver carp are the ones we are worried about.  

Blockades are going up quick. Olcott was blocked off today. A couple Lake Erie and finger lakes launches were also blocked that I know of. Gates were locked at Glenwood lake in Orleans county. Only time will tell how far it goes.

I see now that the World Health Organization is advising people over 60 and people with respiratory conditions to avoid crowds

Wow. That's no fun.

Should be quick work atleast.  I'll be by the booth.  Gonna grab Riley Himmrich from his place and make our way up.  

Where are you working Frank?  Thinking of coming up to Peterborough next sunday for something to do.  

I think predicted levels are taking into account that we have minimal snow pack up north.  Leads me to believe that they are not expecting to have to reduce flows for 8 weeks to save Montreal from raging Ottawa flows again like they did in 2017 and 2019.  If that's the case it will be our savior for this summer.  The rest of the great lakes wont be so lucky.  2020 is going to be bad bad bad for Erie on up.  No saving them.
