    Info on water level

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    The article seems to talk about 2 to 8 inches of water and they expect another 5 inches in May. That's nothing compared to what's happening now. However it's nice to see Chris Collins doing something for once, even if it isn't a town hall. Even if they scrap the plan water levels will only drop a few inches.

    Most docks in wilson harbor look like this. Olcott has tens of thousands of sand bags in place. Irondequoit bay is pushing to the road. The residents of sodus bay are screwed from what I've heard. I'm lucky that my moms house is 15 feet above the lake and she has rocks in place to fight erosion.

    I remember last year when people were concerned that lake levels were too low. I was one of those people. Well nature fixed itself as usual and now we're trying to fix what the environment has changed. I don't know what anyone can do besides open the St. Lawrence and try to drain the lake.

    Riggers

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    For lake trout I run them within 3 or 4 feet of bottom. For salmon I put them anywhere from 40 to 120 feet down depending on where my fish finder says fish are. Some guys drop down farther than that but my riggers are manual so I'd rather not pull at 10 pound weight up from more than 120 feet down lol

    Wilson 4/13

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    A few boat were grinding the midline when I launched around 430 but I wanted to go to laker town anyway to try something different than trolling or jigging. So I tied on a gold rippin rap and let the wind push me around in 50 FOW. I just dragged it on bottom and gave it a pop every 10 seconds or so. Worked surprisingly well. Brought 4 to the boat and lost a few more. Also the Wilson launch is almost underwater! Wear your rubbers!!

    Wilson pen rearing salmon 2017

    Although the pens have been the savior survival-wise, with increased predation on direct stockers, your point is valid. We aren't sure if its a case of "getting caught up in the school", or just missing the imprinting(with all fish raised in ONE hatchery). This is a constant and ongoing problem. The idea of trying a pen in Wilson was just an answer to the poor deal offered (trade 2 direct stocks for 1 pen held) to an area that does not enjoy any natural reproduction and has seen diminished fall returns already. We do believe that high predation, particularly in the Niagara river and the bar area occurs on the direct stock with all the birds, warm water species, and immense Lake Trout population there in the Spring.

    The Wilson project is small, but will have great space and manpower available, while at the same time allow the pen fish to be spread out. The hope is besides the improved survival, that should low flows exist that they will just run nearby Niagara river, instead of vaporizing to the Salmon river.  

    Any Info on the pens? I Plan on being in olcott tomorrow to attach the nets and do maintenance. 

    Hunting blind-turkey decoys

    I'll save you some money bud, you don't need a blind. Just find a good tree or brush pile that covers your back and sit still.  Unless you are hunting with a bow or have turkeys super patterned to a specific  location you don't need a blind in fact it often hinders the mobility you need to get on gobblers.  I have similar thoughts on decoys, while they work, and occasionally they are the ticket, more often than not you do not need a decoy, if a turkey is interested they will come looking, sometimes if you have a decoy they hang up or if you need to move or exit you end up busting a bird because you need to screw with a decoy. That being said I have decoys and occasionally use them but they should be good ones, turkeys know what turkeys look like so a cheap decoys should be left on the shelf. Now calls you need, for a beginner I recommend you get a couple mouth calls and play around with them, Some people pick right up on them and they are the best call to use but make sure you get a push button yelper and a pot style call, they are easy to use and get you up and running quick.  Rather than a blind get yourself a good turkey vest with a really nice seat cushion, you will thank me for that:yes:  Good luck

    Took me a few months to get the mouth call down but well worth it to have both hands free. Practice, practice, practice!!

    Fort niagara launch

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    The south launch is fenced off, the north launch has new docks in but the water was to murky to see if they extended the launch. Doesn't look like any concrete work has been done on it anyway.
