  1. Game Wardens are enforcing emerald shiner regulations. Sourced from a store tagged minnow source with no gobies or undesirables present. You may spend some time visiting a local judge to answer your summons.
  2. Pennsylvania Perch anglers have good success using French Creek plastic jigs. Check out "You Tube Perch Shows"
  3. For large perch catches "French Creek" plastic jig lures are available. On "You Tube" there are Pennsylvania anglers shoes using plastic igs to produce good catches using plastic jigs. Avoid NY law enforcement for using illegal unprocessed emerald shiners for fishing in Lake Erie.
  4. Another good catch of perch came in this week, a gang of other boats moved in close by to catch some. Golden Shiners from Millers did the trick.
  5. There are a lot of boating users are not fishermen. They do not contribute action but take up space for launches and parking. They use the lake for swimming, sunning, diving or just traveling around for recreation. Visiting restaurants, dinner and just escaping hot summer days. They need to be organized to have an effect on our Governor, Senators, Assembly Persons. Also the restaurant busunesses should be involved. The fishing contests are not enough to attract them. Speak this up.
  6. With all the sales taxes, fuel taxes, registration fees paid by boaters, the "rinky dinky town of Evans". That is where our money goes anyway. should turn over operation to the state Parks or County parks.
  7. Sturgeon Point Boat Ramp, One trailer, small boat out today Sand Bar is open at the end, small boat out. A large tire dump truck is parked doing nothing, but no excavator to load the truck is on site.
  8. 18 mile Creek Bridge parking lot, today 4 cars parked there. Water was clear and running.
  9. Now the State can construct a Boat launch and Marina at Woodlawn Beach State Park. It would be more efficient to Erie County Southtown residents and close to popular walleye and perch fishing. Using the State Park Site is a necessary improvement to Lake Erie access. Previously Woodlawn Beach was used for small boat launching and now there is almont a mile 0f unused area . Come on now and start urging for public access to the lakefront area that is an abandoned state site. From the already built Woodlawn Breakwater to the Woodlawn Beach State Park is inaccessable to New Yorks residents and out of state tourists. We spent billions of State funds for Niagara Falls State Parks but nothing for local residents.
  10. Lightning strikes at three thousand degree heat will burn the insulation off the generators and wiring. Living on the lake shore for thirty years now I have watched thousands of lightning strikes for years now. Who will pay for the repairs on the water sites. At least landside installations are accessible for repairs and ther are hundreds of empty hilltops available with high winds.
  11. Mid May dredging of the sand bars shows the incompetence of our tax spenders, it is five months too late this year.
  12. Selling your fish is not a sin after you pay the State for a commercial Fishing license. Native Americans can fish with nets all year long, They never sold off their water rights.
  13. Boxed out with walleyes in Ohio now.
  14. Check this out, three anglers, nine lines out, side planers, snap weights stick baits and planer boards, Huron, Ohio, my old lighthouse station
  15. Eight to twelve inch perch are easier to scale and process for meals at home. Smaller walleyes of 15 to 22 inches long are easier to scale and process. Larger older walleyes are more likely to contain dangerous chemicals that are a hazard to your family
  16. Is it better for USA residents to catch their own fish or have Ontario Commercial Fishermen supplying them here?
  17. Sunday there was several boats out off Eighteen Mile Creek to Wanakah. Where they launched may have been Sturgeon Point.
  18. I90 to I79 north to route 20 west a couple miles. Lots of newer walleye plugs with colors and sizes, different spoons and spinner blades available. Also hooks and side planer releases. Specializing in Lake Erie fishing gear. Fishermen here will be amazed at the selections.
  19. Before air conditioning was available Lake Erie shore beaches were the relief from hot summer heat. One such beach was Woodlawn Beach in the Town of Hamburg. Back before then the waters were colored with orange colored pickle liquor from the acid cleaning of steel. Yet hundreds of people swam there because it was the best thing we had. Lake Avenue had a roller rink, merry go round and a and al good crowd. The steel Company built homes for their employees there and allowed access. Today the edge of the old breakwater there could be used to construct a Marina and launch ramps there. only an outer breakwater and beach breakwater to open to the lake. Blasdell Creek which now flows from the industrial sites there is not a problem. It is closer for Southtown residents that do not have long distant round trips or suffer with the holiday and weekend gridlock situation at the City marina. Please talk this up with the public and maybe the tax spenders will give us something back.

  20. Taking 24 inch female walleyes for prize money is a strange comservation practice.
  21. Wake them up, our state and County politicians collect the boating sales taxes, registration fees, license fees, fuel taxes,.etc. so why to have to wait for local Town officials, who control things here, delay the use of our boats?
  22. The best fishing from Sturgeon Point in year 2024 has past us by and the positive action by our state politicians has not been woken up.
  23. Bragging about boxing out perch limits is just a true situation report that informs boat fishermen that it is success after his travel time and gasoline expenses are incurred.
  24. With little ice conditions this year, having a fixed date to open is incompetent.
