  1. With little ice conditions this year, having a fixed date to open is incompetent.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. The New York State launch ramp has boats leaving and parked boat trailers there. There maybe someone collecting the money there.
  6. The docks for mooring boats are in place but the access is still blocked by sand??????????
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. With side planer boards, the heavy weights could sink your boards. 2 ounce weights are preferred for regular yellow boards that are good producers.
  12. 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.
  13. After half the summer is gone and the fishery moves to the west, it will open then????????
