The emerald shiners move into Lake Erie where they feed upon plankton critters in mid June. Bait dealers in Huron, Ohio set inner tube floats with white gas Coleman Lanterns in lake waters to attract emeralds in the lights. They travel out at night to scoop bait near their lanterns. My travels to Erie Pennsylvania bait dealer's showboats with a stack of electric quartz lights on the bow after they anchor up to attract emeralds for their bait business now that the yellow perch catches are numerous. I was stationed at the Huron light house in my Coast Guard time and the shallow shoals there were perch and walleye takes were with trap nets that kept their fish alive for harvest without spoilage as immediate ice was added on their catch. The clear eyes and bright red gills were indicators of fresh fish.

Emeralds leave the River at 42 degree water temperatures, What is it now?

Went to fort of Ferry today and got nothing unfortunately. They have the good section fenced off.

Our Federal Government spends Millions of dollars maintaining a safe from high winds a useful safe haven for ships and recreational boats for for public uses and the wasting access areas along the unused Union Ship Canal Waterway for boating, docking and launching boats and parking their vehicles. Let us return these areas nearby to public use. The Iron and Steel Plants have abandoned this area and even worse so have our public agencies. As a public area with park development it would enhance the value of homes and business.Miami Beach as an example as Million dollar homes with million mile views and employee travel times for families. Look the smoke, dust and dirt are gone today and local business would have nearby homesites available. Public power, potable water supply and electric services are here. Sanitary services are close by with buildable homesites available Five minutes from downtown is here now. Buffalo City Tax base will increase with new homes as both sides of the Canal are in City limits. Are our political elected leaders blind to opportunity here in our front yard.

What rods perform best with in-line planner boards?

I think everyone would love more access to this wonderful resource we have right in our own back yards.

Access to Eastern Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch catches was successful from the vacant Union Ship Canal. Our Blue Pike catches were successful from off the Crystal Beach Site in 55 foot of water which is god all along the Canadian shorelines. Southern Erie County boayers will use it since the. It is a long drive to the Cattaraugus and Dunkirk ramps. Sturgeon Point Boat Ramps are always unavailable early to due, Sand siltation condiions. Permannent floating boat docks at the Union Ship Canal are available during high winds and high water levels. The small Boat Harbor Docks are jammed all the time so your boating times are enhanced.

Not only home insurance losses but boat and vehicle losses due to floodwaters destroying cars, boats and and resales prices.
