    OIL SPILL

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    One in upstate is definitely getting decommissioned. Nine mile is pretty safe. Without new legislation, Ginna is on the border... 2 plants in illinois just announced closure because they couldn't get legislation passed to support their carbon free generation- which would have helped them compete with the heavily subsidized wind and solar generation... And that's what Ginna is looking for here in NY to help us remain viable.

    If the new Clean Energy Standard gets passed, I have a suspicion that we will see the Nuc plants in upstate renew their licenses and keep operating into the future... Right now, we are having a rough go because we are not getting the same credits for carbon free electric generation that solar and wind get... Makes it harder to compete when we aren't subsidized like the other carbon free sources.

    The NRC is reporting the spill was a leak (20-30 gallons total) from a rooftop cooling fan assembly- from a Nuclear standpoint- no damage or problems with the plant to worry about- but from a outdoorsman's POV, any oil leak that makes it into the environment is a bad thing. Coast Guard spotted the sheen from Fitz on Sunday and set up a safety zone- the plant has shut down the leaking fan and places oil absorbant pads everywhere to soak up any residual- (they have an organic spray they can spray on the oil leaked that will break the oil down, so the sheen shouldn't come back the next time it rains after they get it all cleaned up) (I work at the power plant in Ontario- different company- so i don't have more info on what happened for you guys)

    Sodus 6/18/2016 - My Daughters First

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

    Posted

    Quite a few on 9 out of Sodus, handful of others on other channels- up near the 68 range... I like to listen in- put my radio on scan and talk to guys out there... It makes a full day of fishing go by a little easier if you get to listen/participate in a little conversation throughout the day- and yes- reeldilemma33- coasties main channel is 16, and they use 22a to take reports of flotsam and jetsam, etc... from boaters. Fair winds and following seas to all! Keep your lines tight and hope to hear y'all out there next time I'm on the boat!

    Auto Pilot

    in This Old Boat

    I've had some slight problems with the AP on my 25' 1987 regal- it was installed in 1990- (also an Auto Helm AP) it died on me this weekend, and after 6 hours with a multimeter (everything was still getting power, just nothing was turning on) it turns out there was just a little corrosion on the cables where they connected to the units power supply- all I had to do was unplug 2 wires, take about 3 passes with a wire brush on each, put an extremely light coat of dielectric grease on em and plug em back in- if you're dead set on purchasing new- good luck... I'm cheap and like to fix things- even if they are 26 years old!

    New to the forum- and to boating (kind of)

    Saw a lot of people north of maxwell today- many of whom were hooked up. I trolled for 4 hours with lines at 15, 25 and 35 feet- not a single bite. I was using X-raps (silver and black with a red throat) about 115' back, and a diving crankbait of the same color (at 200' from the boat). Boat won't go slower than about 2.25. What am I doing wrong? Yesterday was the same thing, except I tried flatlining a mix of spoons and sticks (chartreuse, perch, silver and black...) everywhere from 10-30 FOW, and today was 80'- 200'.

    Not going to lie- getting frustrated. I had to go back into Sodus bay and catch a half bucket of rock bass, and perch- throwing back all the largemouth- just to make myself feel better about not knowing how to fish open water.
