A fellow employee of mine was shot and lost his left arm by a sixteen year old youth who was on his first hunt. It was at dawn and the fellow was fully clothed in blaze Orange from head to pants. Still this youngster was "trigger happy" and fired at the first movement he saw. All the "Hunter Educators" who claim to be safety educators are full of it when this happens.

Fish processing businesses can be started up to clean, process and freeze fish catches as other states like Alaska permits. Perch and others can be legally sold. Todays youth can not handle anything except video game boxes. Our politicians use "job creation" as their favorite accomplishment.

Commercial salmon trollers use 50 pound cannonballs and clip on handlines with bait and lures. When they raise the balls, they unclip the hand lines and flip the fish in the boat. Big Kings are clubbed with a baseball bat that has a gaff hook on it to lift the fish into the boat. Still you have fish limits here in NY.

There are a lot of trigger happy hunters out when the season starts. It is not really safe no matter how much education they have.

After Detroit this week gun safety should be gun access control.

With our abundance of yellow perch and small walleyes the processing scaling and filet cutting is a long term process. I have brought in a three man limit catch of 150 perch and cleaned perch till 4:00 AM. this site shows how the Canadian commercial and hook and line anglers make things go faster. Right now perch filets are selling for $20.00 a pound. Do not waste your catch and ice it down immediately.

Access to shotguns and rifles when Dad is not around is what I did as a youth. Only one brother caught a 22 slug in his arm. I now know better.

The CO2 equivalent for fish is 3.77 grams per kilogram of protein compared to 12.5 kg for chicken, 20.83 kg for plant-based meat and 115.75 kg for beef. You must consider the effect of your fish not processed to the effect of a Big Mac Burger on your way home after fishing. Start processing and cleaning your fish for dinner now. -meat and

Twelve year old children do not need to be in the deer hunting woods with high powered rifles and shotgun slugs flying round. A better place is in the classrooms.

The web site is TCS Outdoors. It features Lake Erie winter walleye fishing with side planers and stick baits. There are enough shows to last all winter for you to watch parked in your lounge chair. You will learn a lot here. -

Thanksgiving Day had three foot of Lake Erie slush ice near shore many times years ago. Today the water temperature is now the high forties. Early fishing will happen this year so let it not happen when our lake never froze but Ohio fishermen had boat fishing all winter. Search You tube fishing site for TCS videos of winter fishing. -

With the warm Lake Erie water temperature the lake may not freeze over again. We have to move somewhere now. -

After last years fiasco at the Sturgeon Point boat ramps the State needs to take over operation there. Yet nothing seems to be happening now. Will the woman Supervisor keep the men home painting and grass cutting again? -
Perch are bottom feeders, they do not chase minnows much. They also feed on gobies and mayfly larva'. Shore fishing for perch begins now with 50 degree waters. You do not need to go out to 60 foot depths but 55 foot depths are where the shale bottom meets the mud bottom and the larva come out of the mud.

Kayak operators and canoe operators like stream access also. -
We need a group for trailer boat operators in New York State. With all the boats, jet skis, sailboats using boat ramps an action group is needed on our lakes and rivers to make our governor and legislators aware of the economic influence and needs for improved waters access points. The marina docks seem to get their needs taken care of but boating trailer operators are forgotten. Please speak up!

A Kenmore Fish Market Store has Lake Erie Yellow Perch filets for $22.00 a pound now.

One perch rod in your hand out fishes three watched rods. This is due that the watched rods lose too much bait and you waste too much time reeling, rebaiting and resetting the other rods. Keep your pole in your hand and quickly set the hook as the fish has it in his mouth. Your catch numbers pile up faster.

With the lake surface water temperature drop to below 65 degrees, the walleyes will be nearer the surface. With plankton and bait now near the surface waters also due higher dissolved oxygen content of surface water due to wave actions, you will not see them on your sonar as your boat spooks them away. Side planers with lures on top along with jets to keep your lures higher on turns work now. Just because they do not show on your sonar screen, be aware the sonar signal is straight down below, not off to the side and on top of the water column.
