Lucky, would you happen to have the precipitation info for the months of Jan, feb from the army core? I don't think anyone is not saying both April and May were high rainfall months. At that time though the train had left the tracks. I'd be interested in seeing the precip in Jan matched the SLR /dams outflows to keep levels manageable. Unless I'm missing something.

These are the comments that literally confuse the heck out of the true issue. I'm not arguing horse on your opinion but as I mentioned earlier is this a man made issue or a Mother Nature issue? There seems to be a tremendous argument about it being manmade. If this is truly the case, let's leave Mother Nature out of this because in the end it sounds like we still would not be in the predicament we're in if we would of managed it properly. It just confuses the true issue and becomes an attempt to remove accountability when we site record rainfall or lots of rain...... again I'm not arguing or trying to sway opinion. I just want to know is all. I feel really bad for all those impacted from this. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice job Mike! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So if the levels were rising starting in December and flows were reducing out of the dams, isnt this issue man induced? Not just the fact that we have had record precipitation? If in fact they have been letting water out since December as much as they could to keep up with levels than they have done all they could. I'm not seeing this though hence I just can't see why someone just can't find who's responsible and resolve it for future years. All I'm hearing is rain records, climate issues, and Mother Nature is at fault. I guess I just want to know. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Gill, I'd be interested in knowing if in fact they were at the winter levels for a typical year back in November December or were we higher than expected? Meaning did they let levels rise and when it was too late in March damage was already done? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

VHS is not new to the finger lakes. Hence the reason for the bait regulations put out few years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What a story, congrats on that trophy! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Les will do. Hopefully it's fishing time! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks guys. My box has been deadly this year. It's been spotty for me as well with gobbles. I'm usually out of the woods if I'm not hearing them at the crack of light. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Been after this bird for a bit. Size of a trash can when he's out in the pasture. Things came together this morning was able to get him in for my older b. 23 lb. 12 inch beard Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The piece of mind thing is a smart topic. Did the motor shut down from a safety mech that is on the motor or did it stop on its own due to the heat? If it was the latter I'd do a little more investigating to verify no ring damage etc by maybe checking compression at min. If it's just a kicker to fish around the camp no big deal I guess but if your taking it across Cayuga etc it can really suck if she goes on you on the bigger lakes.

Question for the bar experts, when you say the bar I seem to think your in the area of the green can? like 30ft of water or are you actually out in front by the red can that's out deeper not actually on the bar itself? Just trying to get my bearings. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's awesome! Congrats to her and you! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

For what it's worth, attended a seminar where it was mentioned west of Irondequoit use spin drs, east use dodgers. Kind of stayed with that tune,seems to work. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

One of the best topics I've seen come through here in some time. As some have touched on, never underestimate the skill or expert traits others have on here. You may find some one does it better. Take everything in. Use what you think is best. Be respectful. Support the charter groups. They do so much for our fishery that sometimes I think we take it for granted. Don't leave fish to find fish! Realize the impact to a fisheries / area social media can have. Again, great thread. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Boy they are a fast bird, it's happened to most of us at least once or twice. Makes it fun though Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It's just like you Les to pin Hank on Fran lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I forgot to mention, there is a squeeze bulb on each line to each motor after the tee. I have a spare 3 gal tank that can easily be clicked in if ever needed for emergency or in case of main tank issue. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Jim, although I probably would of agreed with you prior to hooking my system up, I felt somewhat lame after being given a set up that is just with a tee by a local marine professional that's been around for quite a bit. I have a 115 and a 8hp that has a 5/8 fuel line. After rigging it up, there is no such air being lost or fuel being sucked out of either motor. I actually can run both motors at the same time with no issues what so ever. I've never had to squeeze the bulbs when I stopped trolling and started the big motor. Maybe a misconception? I'm not arguing just explaining my setup. Tight lines Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
