  1. Past hour
  2. Just called around asking the same... State launch said they will not have dock in 'until the beginning of the season'. I asked that was and was told, "May 28th". Called Hanover launch (716-934-2462) and no one answered.
  3. Today
  4. The only time NYS cares is when they can garner votes or a voting group. Special interest (feel group) groups are all the rage in Albany and Washington. In an effort to increase or sustain its population, maybe perch should have the same season as walleye. The number of perch that are caught with a belly full of eggs is staggering. As far as the boat launch at Sturgeon Point, my guess is that liability may come into play to some degree. Sad, but true, it's astounding the number of people who want to 'get rich quick' because somebody didn't do this or didn't do that.
  5. NY could care less. It's always been that way. With the talk of putting turbines in eries waters to planting those things all across the country sides. The management of a panfish limit by my thoughts hasn't produced more fish. Some inland lakes are void of some species because limit fishing through the ice has stripped out egg laiden fish. Erie is a vast body of water it's sustained itself for the most but still market fishing isn't a smart idea. If your idea of bragging about boxing out is what gets you off nothing anyone would say will change your mind. All I know is having that sandbar year in year out has pretty much screwed with my enjoyment. Same as on a mild year like we had over winter why couldn't a single launch dock be left in for those diehard who would use them.
  6. Brown Trout on both Lake Ontario and Lake Erie have exceeded over 40 inches in the lakes and spawning streams. Natural reproduction is mainly from New York State Fish Hatcheries. Also even huger Lake Trout are available there.
  7. For trophy trout fishing, open all year, the Lake Erie streams produce Rainbow Trout with lengths exceeding 36 inches. Most West Coast and Alaskan waters do not exceed these sizes.
  8. The warm winter has open fishing water all winter. "Boxed out" limits of yellow perch came in for years now, including this winter, but launching docks are not even being consider, by the old timers who have "no interest into getting out" they run these meetings of clubs ! But that means more perch for the real fishermen. The next move will be to put a season to protect the spawning in New York waters. The walleye season was started at these meetings but the Ohio biologists kept that season closing off the books, they have more walleyes and non resident fishing licenses sold there.
  9. Yesterday
  10. The New York State launch ramp has boats leaving and parked boat trailers there. There maybe someone collecting the money there.
  11. The docks for mooring boats are in place but the access is still blocked by sand??????????
  12. Last week
  13. I have Never used them . looking to sell. $200 Sent from my SM-S515DL using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  14. Do any of the Catt creek launches have their launching docks in yet?? Thanks for your input !!
  15. Ohio has open walleye season open all year. The bait, tackle, boating agencies are open for use all winter long. New York has a closed season that should be reopened to keep fishing available all year. The BS about spawning walleyes need special protection on Lake Erie so let us end the stupidity with this regulation of a walleye season after Ohio which has more walleyes than ever and is enjoying New York fishermen to have to purchase non resident licenses and burn their New York money to travel, stay, eat and fish there. Open the season here in New York State.
  16. Dredging to start in a few weeks???? , not just year the lake boating is and has been open all most of winter. Come on now, get real to the fishing going on all winter. Boat loads of perch have came in all winter and the dredge gods still have their thumbs stuck some where else.
  17. For free an app on your cell phone can hand you your GPS coordinates for an emergency response to you on the phone and marine radio. Also your position will track your travel on your Lake Erie locations. MERCHANT MARINE APP.
  18. We now have the greatest yellow perch fishery in history since the blue pike were decimated by the smelt hordes that were ignored by our public agencies. Most important now is a good anchor system or an expensive "Spot Lock" gimmick. When Lake Erie surface temperature reaches the high seventy degree range, the fishery will move west of Sturgeon Point to at least 65 foot depths for cooler water temperature. Economically a good anchor can hold your boat in place but you need at least two hundred feet of anchor line for your anchor to hook on the bottom. A three to one length for your anchor to avoid drifting into your neighbors lines. Two hundred foot of poly braided 3/8 line will hold your small boat then. It takes up less space in your small boat and it easily splices together for a neat or bucket. Easier on your hands especially the lighter anchor when you pull it up at the end of your trip.
  19. With side planer boards, the heavy weights could sink your boards. 2 ounce weights are preferred for regular yellow boards that are good producers.
  20. Where can you park your car and trailer along the Hamburg shoreline? The Sturgeon Point Breakwater Repair had nothing to do with the Boat Launching Sites. The sandbar formed this winter is as bad as ever.
  21. I just dropped off my payment for a 2024 wet slip (3/21/2024) They said the marina will be open on schedule and the dredging will be completed. Relax and see how it goes. Lots of people are not returning to their 22 ft slips. I had 10 people ahead of me on the waiting list and I got in yesterday. Had my pick of many available slips. I will make regular fishing reports when I get out.
  22. Earlier
  23. The whole deal is a joke. If they aren't going to hire a responsible architect to design a inlet that won't sand in monthly then contract a company to keep it cleared. All the work they did last spring obviously didn't help matters. And million plus waisted money is gone. On top of that the state will simply move on using money elsewhere. Sturgeon Pt had it chance to make it right and blew it.
  24. After half the summer is gone and the fishery moves to the west, it will open then????????
  25. Wen late summer water temperatures on the surface exceed 72 degrees F. the perch will suspend up to 30 plus feet off the bottom near the Canadian line then and you will raise your minnow baits then off the near bottom. The perch schools will be dense then and catching is easy.
