I don't know how your system works up there Cisco, but I am guessing ours is somewhat similar? After my stint in the nursing home last summer things got a new clarity? Here when you hit the button for a nurse you generally get a STNA ( state tested nursing assistant ), there are definite limits on what they are allowed to do, window dressing to make people think the facility is properly staffed? LOL they had a help wanted sign out the whole time I was in looking for them, like 11.50 an hour?

We used to catch them once in awhile were Akri is located, they seemed to average around 4=6 pounds, they get much bigger though, one of my friends got one pushing 20 pounds there.

Kick, I have heard of those, but from the pics I saw when I looked them up? no, just Mayflies. Dave, Port Clinton by the Erie Islands on this side of the lake has to do things like that. Scott, one year we went to PAB and they were all over, rafts of them floating on the water and fish rolling on them all over. It might have been real close to the bass opener or 4th of July, usually went up mid July to early August and then again in September for a guy trip. That year the fishing was tough, what ever was eating Mayflies seemed to be getting eaten by bigger fish.

I remember living in Avon Lake about 1/2 mile from Lake Erie and trying to get into my condo without letting 100's of them or midges in at the same time.

Loss of power near nuclear reactor along Lake Erie caused by ‘mayfly accumulation’ How many did that take?

Disabled now for about 17 years, I have to listen to other peoples fish stories instead of generating my own. In the past Ohio, PA, NY, and Ontario, I guess bass were always the focus, if not a darn good back up plan!

Reel spring identification - I’m an idiot
OhioFisherman replied to AKRISONER's topic in General Discussion
https://www.mikesreelrepair.com/shimano-stradic-2500fh-schematic/ Usually good schematics https://www.mikesreelrepair.com/content/schematics/Shimano_stradic_2500fh.pdf I see only two springs listed in the parts for that reel, 7467 looks like the one to me, -
Good looking fish, that size are always fun to catch!

Nice fish! Georgian Bay has plenty of places for them to grow.

Usually I get meat from a small grocery chain south of me, they ordinarily have an 8 - 9 page sales ad, last week it was 1 page.

1.) China had a hog problem before covid started https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/04/business/china-pork-swine-fever-pigs/index.html pork prices shot up here 2.) Not sure how much of your meat - poultry - veggies are imported from the states, but a number of big meat processing plants here have been shut down due to large numbers of their workers with covid, more grocery prices rising. 3.) Hog farmers, and i would assume other types are talking about having to euthanize their stock, can't get them processed and can't afford to go on feeding them? 4.) Labor, plant a crop that might end up rotting in the field? an expensive waste of time? The US and Canada both rely on large amounts of cheap foreign labor for farm work.

A lot of boats? had problems with the wood in the transom rotting out? A lot harder to notice on a glass boat than an aluminum boat? From a liability standpoint giving insurance to an older sight unseen boat might open the insurance company to more battles? The need for speed? There wasn't as many boats that came close to the speed of today's boats when I was young and who knows how good they are maintained? Lots things can go wrong, and the price to fix them or replace them keeps climbing?

Heddon River Runt, Black Shore Minnow I believe midget? I also seem to recall they were made in wood and then plastic. Heddon Sonar for the metal blade bait, those are still sold today, although the color choices are probably different. I don't believe either is really worth any serious cash, but I could be wrong. Ebay is a decent reference place to see what some of these old lures go for.

https://realfishing.com/all-about-lake-trout/ " Lake trout spawn in the autumn, between September and December, in water between 48ºF and 57ºF. They prefer to spawn over large areas of lakes with boulder or rubble bottoms but they are also known to occasionally spawn in rivers. The eggs fall into cracks and crevices where they will remain for between four and five-months before hatching in March or April. " Not something I was aware of, 4 = 5 months for their eggs to hatch? Makes those eggs more of a target if dropped where gobies thrive?

One of my friends went to the Lunge Lodge every year, late 1980's we drove up from Pointe Au Baril to visit and fish with them for a day. We followed them around, because of the rocks, and caught bass, basically all we fished for. His son and another guy from our bass group here end up buying the lodge some years ago, they sold it a couple of years ago. They had an annual bass tournament for guests every September? from what I could see from following their facebook site the big bass was usually in the 4-6 pound range, and it could be either species.
-
Just my thinking that goby traps will catch a lot more than gobies? It may give them a way to compare the number of small fish species though?

Lake Erie spot for bass season opener?
OhioFisherman replied to GaraldT's topic in General Discussion
A lot of people from this side of the lake make the run over to PeLee island, any rocky protected from pounding waves. -
It was in the low 90's here Tuesday and Wednesday, and struggled to get out of the 60's for the weekend.

Small uninhabited roadside lakes?
OhioFisherman replied to Hack_Fisherman's topic in General Discussion
We went to Pointe Au Baril for 25 years or so, the liquor store or beer store at one time had like an 8+ plus largemouth hanging on their wall at one time that was caught at one of those nearby back lakes. We thought a couple of times about wandering around and trying some of them but gaining access seemed like a hassle and not knowing the area we had no idea what was private property and the dangers involved, a lot of bears back then and rattlesnakes. It doesn't take a very big pond or lake to hold some quality size bass, fishing pressure and food supply have a lot to do with it, but some just seem to grow decent size bass in spite of that. -
Might be your best bet? I am guessing most in a boat graveyard might already be broken?

This ain't Kansas Dorothy but that's a Tornado
OhioFisherman replied to Old Ironmaker's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
I got caught in that one, on the way to see the 4th of July fireworks. 4 people killed at the shoreline park site of the fireworks display. -
LOL, since they are already in Lake Erie? why not as a legal bait?

As i have read in their native range gobies feed on zebra a quagga mussels, http://www.invadingspecies.com/round-goby/ " Benefit(s): The only benefit attributed to the round goby is that it is a voracious consumer of another significant Great Lakes invader, the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). In one laboratory study (Ghedotti, et al,1995), round gobies of average (80 - 110 mm) length were able to consume zebra mussels 100 - 120mm in size and ate an average of 36 zebra mussels per day. Gobies also seemed to show a significant preference for zebra mussels over native clams and snails when presented with varying distributions of clumped and unclumped prey over different substrates. However, because gobies do not have a swim bladder and are negatively buoyant, prey attached to an aquarium wall just 20cm off the bottom appeared safe from round gobies. " http://www.columbia.edu/itc/cerc/danoff-burg/invasion_bio/inv_spp_summ/Neogobius_melanostomus.html Fish eat fish? I am guessing big perch, crappie, or whatever will eat smaller gobies? http://www.biokids.umich.edu/critters/Coregonus_clupeaformis/ Evidently whitefish spawn shallow? Not real sure what would be to deep for a gobie? I have caught carp on tubes fishing for bass, just image how many fish eggs a 20+ pound carp can suck in? but they start off small to, and may be food for other species?

roughly 8 pounds a gallon for water, a ten gallon livewell that would be a small one will change the weight balance quickly.

25 hp? might not need a windshield?
