  1. The Canadian commercial fishery take thousands of tons of smelt annually but American waters are untouched. They are the most dangerous invasive species predator in the lake. Yet we ignore their presence. Not only emerald shiners are their forage they decimate the fry and fingerlings of all species.

    The smelt population is on the decline
    There were times where you could catch all you wanted in the upper river . Not any more
    Same holds true in the lower river

  2. Hey Wojo..... i think the problem is called: "43 million walleye in the lake right now and who knows how many perch, bass, trout & salmonoids that all consume emerald shiners for breakfast, lunch & dinner"

    Back in the early 50’s when you had Cazillion blue pike. You had all the minnows you wanted. It’s the zebra muscles. And gobies that are finally taking effect on the eneralds

  4.   I got a response & they said it needs to be in the budget & voted on.  Seeing how they just voted on the budget it would have to be brought up next year.

    That’s what they always say. It never gets done. We need the SWT to put pressure on our politicians. It’s the biggest organization of its kind. I guess we need to put pressure in them to get more interested in boat launches instead of their own profit agendas

  5. Lake Erie has a higher fertilization level from all the agriculture activity, higher human population contributing more nutrients. Average shallower depth contributes a greater production area for perch. It is the greatest food fish producing Lake in the world. The perch numbers are controlled by generous sport fishing quotas and a quota limit on commercial fishing operations with international cooperation by the concerned agencies. Still there are boom and bust harvest years that we end up having to live with.

    There just as many perch in Lake Ontario. As lake Erie
    The only reason is that perch are not targeted as much as Erie
    I can go out and catch my limit at will on Ontario
