Does everyone troll right behind the boat with a gas motor or do u need electric when fish are 15-25 ft deep

I have a trolling plate on my 150 I troll in 6ft of water

jeff

i do a lot a night fishing around smokes creek (windmills) I stay away from the pack I fish 15-25 fow and catch a lot of fish I pull smithwichs

jeff

it wasn't any better when the nfta ran it in my opinion it was worse but you could fish when the boats were not in the water I got in so many arguments I ended up docking it if our fellow boaters had any sense or respect for each other everything would run smoothly but nobody cares its me me me  just my opinion

jeff

those eye even try jet divers easy use biggest problem is over thinking keep it simple it will come to you go on you tube and learn how to use and adjust your fish finder also

 I think brain Higgins had a big part in it

this is why I keep my boat in the water I hate dealing with stupid people that don't know what to do, even on the water they don't care about anything

DEC Announces Angler Outreach Event on Wednesday, June 20

Biologists to Provide Update on Status of Lake Erie and Niagara River Fisheries

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced a meeting to update the public about the status of the Lake Erie and Upper Niagara River Fisheries on June 20, 2018.

"This annual event provides an excellent opportunity for anglers to interact with the biologists who study and manage Lake Erie and Niagara River fisheries," said DEC Regional Director Abby Snyder. "Among this year's updates biologists will share exciting new findings from studies exploring movement patterns of walleye, lake trout, and lake sturgeon."

The meeting will take place at Woodlawn Beach State Park's Lodge on Wednesday, June 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., and will begin with an informal discussion and poster exhibits. The meeting will be followed by a series of presentations on Lake Erie and the Upper Niagara River fisheries topics, including an opportunity for angler input on a variety fisheries management activities. The meeting will conclude with questions and an open discussion.

Key members of Lake Erie and Niagara River's fisheries management and research community will present on Lake Erie fisheries research, management and assessment activities. This seminar is sponsored by DEC's Lake Erie Fisheries Unit and Region 9 Fisheries offices. Anyone interested is welcome to attend this free event and registration is not required.

The Lake Erie and the upper Niagara River rank among New York State's top fishing destinations, especially for walleye, smallmouth bass, and steelhead. The 2007 statewide angler survey estimated more than 800,000 angler days spent on these waters and the estimated value of these fisheries exceeded $22 million to the local New York economy.

For further information contact Don Einhouse, Lake Erie Unit Leader, (716) 366-0228.

also heard they were seeing a lot of sturgeon when they did the shock

glad to hear they got back safe I got out around the windmills smokes creek area at 830ish sat.night and there was 8-10 boats

in the area cant believe no one would help out karma a bitch

jeff

they have to repair the docks and I think they don't have the money in the budget

i would start behind the windmills and smokescreek in 20fow slowly get deeper

jeff

brain Higgins had a lot to do with the sbh he told the nfta to updated or sell it

i have same unit without lss2 ducer I went on you tube to help set it up, there is an update that's has to be done, you like it simple to use once you play around with it
