In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host brings an updated fishing report for anglers across WNY, including updates on the currently stellar Lake Ontario salmon feeding runs, while the brown trout fishing appears to be in decline - some blame the cormorant population increase for this observed problem. Lake Erie bass fishing has kicked up 10 notches, while yellow perch becomes the search and destroy on pods of active fish game that May is known for. The walleye bite across Lake Erie in the shallows is also heating up, as well as pike fishing inland. Don't overlook crappie spring action and that inland musky opener is coming up 5/29. Public hearings are also coming up, virtual of course, concerning a clean up project at the old Bethlehem Steel site on May 18, and another NYSERDA dog and pony show on Great Lakes wind follows on May 19. Sturgeon Point marina news gives updates on a recent proposal to have the marina dredged at a fraction of estimated costs, and NYS DEC is engaged to hopefully get speedy resolution to opening this safe harbor for the 2021 season. Rich also provides updates to the latest groups joining the fight to protect our Great Lakes, and highlights ongoing issues with the Nation's first offshore wind project off Block Island, RI, which requires another $65 million in fixes, despite the 20 years operational claims! Rich also provides updates to the latest bills passing the NYS Senate, including S.6191, which establishes the 30x30 goals of conserving 30% of state lands or more by 2030, for biodiversity and "climate change". This, and so much more in this week's episode of We Love Outdoors, the fastest podcast hour around!
