  1. For a $5,00 shipping fee order on line and next day delivery. Save gasoline and $100 if you walk inside the store.
  2. Available at Cabelas.com. Advance snap weights.
  3. You see the pictures. that is the story
  4. 5 boats anchored in a pack off Evangola reef today.
  5. Sturgeon Point Marina, 3 trailers in the lot, small boats, no dredging equipment yet but the tail end of the sand bar is open, boots or oars to get out t seems. No collecters on the job yet. The lake is like glass today.
  6. 18 mile creek parking 12 cars today, water was low and clear, Sisters Creek 2 cars parked, low and clear, Delaware creek, low and clear.
  7. March 17th is the prime minnow catch date in the upper river.
  8. Women want their men to stay home, cut grass and paint. Sitting in a boat drinking beer is a sin.
  9. High wind storms stir the bottom of the near shore waters and when they find an area with lesser currents like the lee side of Sturgeon Point and any other points the suspended sand settles to the bottom and shallows things up. It is a natural condition that happens there and Hamburg Town Park and Woodlawn Beach shores. You can not beat "Mother Nature" until you understand annual dredging is necessary the same as our roads need to have the snow plowed. The only answer is to dredge annually or find a better launch site where a creek cuts its outlet open annually. Eighteen Mile, Sisters, Cattaraugus etc. Dunkirk Harbor is a long trip to drive to and from daily but Crystal Beach , Ontario built a boat harbor with an outlet in deeper water if you care to look it up. Plenty of parking, good ramps in deeper water not in the lee side of the lake currents. The old Bethlehem Steel waters are deeper off shore of the slag fills along with Smokes Creek. But some obstructionists will bring up the walleye spawning effect but Ohio has plenty of walleyes with no seasons or closed areas. Dunkirk Harbor has outlets in deeper water that does not sand up. It just is too long a drive back and forth. The Small Boat Harbor is grid locked on weekends and holidays. Someday after we are gone things could happen, but do not bet on it now.
  10. The state ramp closes to the lake was open now. Only a couple trailers in the lot the other day, good perch fishing now. For walleye drive to Ohio where they have no problem with hook and line fishing as we have here.
  11. The boys boxed out on 13 inch perch Sunday. Flat calm, early morning fog but beautiful early ice free waters were the trick. Bring plenty of minnows, spot the hooks on about 55 foot of water and anchor up. If you see a boat catching, that is good as two boats hold the moving perch schools near by. Each guy uses three hooks per line, three lines are lawful per angler. that puts a lot of bait under your boat. The reservation windmill is good. Lifejackets are the law yet.
  12. Hundreds of boats launched off Woodlawn Beach years ago. A ramp east of the Hotel sold bait and launched boats. The sand bar forms when turbid storm waters near shore settle the the sand debris on the ramps. Crystal Beach in Ontario has a fine ramp and parking lot for all residents and visitors. Good things do not happen here.
  13. The dead zones in Lake Erie are the result of Western Basin agriculture fertilizers from Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The plankton growth explodes in the western Basin and results in the dead zones on the lake bottom as the oxygen concentration falls in the deepest waters.
  14. Decaying biologics, plankton, fish, plants consume the oxygen on the lake bottom and the thriving walleyes, etc. will suspend above the low oxygen areas.
