Sorry im just a bit in a vent mode!Ended with the taking of pigs in the fall wasnt that fun everyone was happy everyone was booked!Ya want to shut down the river fishing for Walleyes, that is a sacred right the males do bite!What about those days when the Captain and the 1stmate catches were thrown in the cooler lets face it some Charter Boat Capts ran double trips in the high years!Both parties share the blame but the real issue has got to be POLLUTION and inavasive species!Is there hope yea at this point id definetly throw a ton of Saugeyes, on Nigara reef that would eat up the Gobies and get out of dodge when the Walleyes come in to spawn!Id consider stocking Muskies to control the over population of baitfish last thing id do is sit around and HOPE it all works out.At this point im gonna see how good the folks who do the research truly are and if it doesnt work with your approach expect to hear me bitch and complain the eggs are in your basket figure it out!

Can the issues facing Lake Erie be fixed?Controlling how many Walleyes are taken by sportsfishermen will not fix the issue!If they cannot REPRODUCE they will not survive.This lake went from Walleye Capital Of The World back to scum Capital of the world.Is there at least a starting point to fix the scum?Yes start with the rivers where the fish spawn!The scum in the rivers is killing the eggs, the Walleyes do what they are suppose to do every year but the scum destroys eggs perhaps this winter of record snow fall will result in a great spawn and all the snow when it melts will filter out the scum.Get a camera video wild wings marina at ice out home of the Charter Boat Capts.Take pics from ice out til July of that Marina water watch the water change!150 boats being cleaned everyday when they return after a day of fishing youll see a change.No one gives a rats tail what is used to clean a boat as long as the boat is cleaned for the next crew!Until ya start at a small point to clean up the scum there is NO WAY you can take on a big point but im just a dumb old man who has seen BAD CHANGES!
