The Back Cove 30 The Back Cove 34 The Pioneer 222 Venture The style of the Down East lobster boat is closely associated with Maine's proud boat building heritage. The 30 is a grand example of everything that makes the Down East lobster boat a work of art. She has a traditional spoon bow and her transom is gently sloped: a style that will turn heads in any harbor she enters. A cruising yacht was created with the same simple features, usability and low maintenance, which have helped build the popularity of the Back Cove brand. With input from many of boat owners, the builder created a yacht which offers tremendous value, great style and modern practicality. From water sports to hardcore fishing the Venture 222 is "the ultimate family fun and fishing boat!" With twin 14 gallon baitwells and 96 gallons of fuel this boat is equally at home 40 miles offshore as it is on a freshwater lake. The walk through windshield gives superior protection from wind, rain and weather. Lounge seating, enclosed head and cockpit table gives you features and room to entertain a boat load of friends. 2005 SeaRay 320 Sundancer 2005 Sea Ray 320 Sundancer There's plenty of room for family, friends and almost anything you care to bring onboard this sleek Sea Ray 320 Sundancer.

[ Serving Sandusky, Port Clinton & Vicinity with CUSTOM MADE BOAT COVERS 7 HEATING, COOLING & REFRIGERATION MARINE SURVEYOR We must set sail 8 By Megan Meisler, Co-Owner, Loadmaster Trailer Company Ltd. I was searching through some good ol’ “boating” quotes and stumbled across this one above. I read it and re-read and it continued to resonate with me. Being a small business owner in a highly fluctuating, seasonal type of business can be very scary at times. Sometimes it seems so nerve wracking to try something new or move forward with an idea. It is usually easier/safer to do as you always do and go through the motions, however, – Franklin D. Roosevelt going through the motions at time can leave you feeling like you are at anchor. For some setting sail has different meanings: liberation, freedom, excitement, adventure, anxiety, hope… the list goes on and on. I feel as though this quote goes hand in hand with one I have mentioned before that my father always told us growing up “if you change nothing, nothing changes.” Sitting idle is easy and feels safe, but does it provide you the results you desire? In many situations for me, it does not. I have always been a go-getter, a proactive thinker that sometimes falls short to find the correct actions to back my ideas. Now, co-owning a manufacturing business with my family I find that often the daily challenges and routine of things can far overshadow the ability to think and act on our forward thinking ideals and goals. To relate to the quote, like we are at anchor and not sailing, more like we are drifting. The reason this quote feels special to me is because of the truth in it, the simple analogy of complacency versus action. We all need action. My request for all of you would be to determine the important, meaningful areas of your life that you wish you were more proactively pursuing and figure out how to set your own sails to reach them. We all know time is limited and life is short, so I challenge us all to set sail, not tie anchor or drift, but set our sails and explore.

CP16-138 It’s time to ban wind turbines in Lake Erie | Part One 9 make – fine. Lake Erie, however, isn’t rural Indiana farmland. It is a unique frontage for many Ohio communities with resorts, parks, marinas, campgrounds, beaches and more. Its pure vista draws people to it from bar beyound its shoreline. Seeing its unbroken horizon speaks a peaceful moment of escape from today’s complex life. Is destroying that for a few megawatts that can come from other sources a fair trade? Hardly.

But the Department of Energy doesn’t have the greatest track record in picking grant recipients. Witness solar panel maker Solyndra who, after just 3 years and after its executives enjoyed huge paychecks, went bankrupt leaving taxpayers holding a $535 million bag! But grants and loans are just the tip of the blade. An army of highly-paid lobbyists representing outfits like LEEDCo regularly travel the halls of Congress pushing for renewal of the lucrative tax credits that mainly go to wind and solar outfits. The International Energy Research Group has notably reported that for every unit of energy produced, oil receives 64 cents in federal tax credits. Nuclear power does much better at $3.14 per unit. But wind and solar are the tax credit champs garnering a whopping $56 for every unit of wind power produced while solar tops them all at an incredible $775! What business couldn’t hang around with that kind of hand out? There are many who say the U.S. should follow the European example. But here we have the world’s biggest supply of low-cost natural gas currently used to generate much of our electricity at reasonable costs. Meanwhile, prices for electricity in Europe are much higher, especially in countries that have embraced wind power, such as Britain and Germany. In the latter, for example, German households pay three times what an American household pays for electricity. Massive subsidies to renewable energy producers in Europe have pushed prices up. There is little doubt the majority of Americans support the idea of renewable energy. The question is not whether we should pursue wind and solar power as an energy policy, but where specifically wind turbines should be placed – or not. And Lake Erie should be a not! Next month, in Part 2 of this “It’s Time to Ban Windmills in Lake Erie,” we’ll discuss the direct negative impacts on boating and fishing; the likely violation of the Migratory Birds Treaty Act and others; dirty secrets the wind industry doesn’t want you to know; the planned sale of LEEDCo assets to a Norwegian buyer; and specific ways boaters and anglers who believe wind turbines should not be placed in Lake Erie can become engaged in stopping the plan. MID-AMERICA BOATING Looking out on Lake Erie from a lakefront apartment in Cleveland or a home on the cliffs of Lakewood, the once spectacular beauty of America’s inland sea is now pockmarked and ruined by tall towers with huge spinning turbine blades! No, that’s not what we see today. But it’s coming soon to a view near you! The time has now arrived for boaters, anglers and anyone who treasures the unbroken beauty of Lake Erie to stand up and say NO to this pending multi-million dollar boondoggle. It’s called the Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo). But a more suitable name might be the Lake Erie Environmental Destruction Corporation! It’s plan is to build wind turbines in Lake Erie off Cleveland and well beyond. LEEDCo and its founders have been around for a decade. They’ve steadily been enriched with taxpayer money from grants but, fortunately, there hasn’t been enough money to do any environmental damage. So why the concern now? Here’s forty million reasons. LEEDCo has just been given $40 million in U.S. Department of Energy grants which will allow it to move ahead with construction of an offshore wind farm. Dubbed the Icebreaker Project, it calls for initially erecting six large wind turbines in the lake about 8 or so miles northwest of downtown Cleveland. The project is meant to inspire private developers to erect even more turbines in the lake, according to LEEDCo. But now that there’s actually some money to blight old Erie, it’s time to seriously consider what the end game is in all this. And it’s no mystery. First, it’s principals want to build even more turbines in Lake Erie off counties including Cuyahoga, Lake and Ashtabula. No doubt there’s talk of gracing our beautiful Lake Erie Islands area with spinning windmills, too. It’s not complicated. In our long-term quest for more renewable energy in America, windmills have popped up in large numbers on farm land. For example, just drive up I-65 in northern Indiana. For many miles, the landscape on either side has been filled with spinning blades. If farmers want to lease out their land and enjoy looking out their windows at whirling pinwheels, dead birds and hearing the incessant groaning sound turbines [ By Norm Schultz By Richard Martin Every spring it happens. Larval mayflies burrow up out of Lake Erie bottom mud, drift slowly to the surface, shed their nymphal skins, and fly. It's a great time for fish, not so great for boating fishermen, because the presence of billions of mayflies or Canadian soldiers traditionally means a slump in walleye catches. Many Erie anglers know mayflies when they see them, but know little about their life cycle and why fishing plummets. The reason is simple. For openers, they belong to the order Ephemeroptera, which in Greek means "Lasting but a day." Their life cycle starts when huge mating swarms of male and female mayflies gather over the lake in late afternoon and early evening, 10 JULYY 2016 [ MID-AMERICA BOATING ] Lake Erie walleye can be had during mayfly hatch mate, and once the female drops up to 8,000 eggs onto the water, both sexes die. The eggs sink to bottom, hatch into tiny larvae that usually burrow into the bottom mud and feed on algae, diatoms, and aquatic tidbits until the tail end of June and most of the month of July (usual peak) rolls around and they mature. Then the larDuring mayfly season the physical mass of their numbers may be so large that it can be detected and mapped by Doppler weather radar. vae leave the mud, drift slowly to the surface, shed their nymphal shells, and fly away to land in millions and billions on cabins, marina buildings and posts, trees, and shrubs, then come evening, mate and start the cycle again. It's when they're drifting to the surface that the problem for anglers occurs. Those fat and juicy, high protein insects rise upward so slowly that a 10 year old fish with two broken fins and blind in one eye can fill its stomach to bulging. And once full, they just aren't See Mayfly Walleye page 12 The Storage You OWN Since 1996 Your private, individual unit includes: t 6OJUTJ[F8Y-Y) t %SZXBMMFEBOETVQFSJOTVMBUFE t 0WFSIFBEMJHIUJOHBOEFMFDUSJDBMPVUMFUT t *OEJWJEVBMVOJUTFDVSJUZ t 8BTIEPXOBSFB t 6UJMJUZTJOL t 8BUFSTFXFSBOEþPPSESBJOT t 8Y)DPNNFSDJBMHBSBHFEPPST XJUIXJOEPXTPQFOFS t "MMTUFFMTFSWJDFEPPSTBOE LFZMFTTFOUSZ t 1SFNJVNOBUVSBMHBTVOJUIFBUFS t -PXNBJOUFOBODFGFFT t $PNQMFUF37IPPLVQTJOVOJU t 1VCMJDSFTUSPPN www.storagecondos.com 750 SE Catawba Road, Port Clinton, OH 43452 For detailed info, contact: Dave Winters, President (419) 351-4752 11 [ MID-AMERICA BOATING ] JULY 2016 LEGENDARY BOAT PROTECTION. 1.800.PROGRESSIVE / PROGRESSIVE.COM JULYY 2016 [ MID-AMERICA BOATING ] 12 Mayfly Walleye from page 10 hungry for the usual weight forward spinners. So, how do you catch them? It isn't easy, but techniques do exist. One good method is to use a "Mayfly rig," which is basically just a spinner, a bead or two, and a single hook. These are small rigs, small enough to tempt a walleye that's feeling just a little peckish, and the top color is usually gold, which looks a good bit like a golden-brown mayfly coming through the water. Brown is another fair color, and white isn't bad if neither of the first two produce. You'll bait with nightcrawlers, cast out, and retrieve at a crawl just fast enough to turn the blades. Because full stuffed walleye won't chase something moving fast. There are refinements, too. Three years ago I spent some hours in early June fishing near West Sister Island the day after a huge hatch had left windrows of exoskeletons on the surface for miles. I cast spinners in all directions, and caught just one spike. My sensitive rod was registering an occasional very faint tug, and I lost a fair number of worms, before I wised up and tied on a stinger hook. These can be purchased in almost any Erie sporting goods store, just a bit of monofilament with a tiny treble on one end and a loop on the other that slips over the hook of your main armament. I added a nightcrawler to the May fly rig hook and hooked its trailing end with the little treble. That did it. I started striking at ANY change in movement, a tiny tug, a slight bit of extra pressure, anything, and filled a limit in less than an hour. They weren't hungry, but often interested enough to at least follow the rig and nip at the crawler. The stinger took every fish, mostly in just their lip. Stingers can make a big difference, but there are yet other refinements that can save the day. Since mayflies prefer mud, there will be fewer of them in areas with rocky bottoms, and therefore the fish find less food in such places. So, you might concentrate your fishing in such areas, usually near reefs like NNE of Niagara Reef, near Round Reef, Crib, Little Pickerel, and Cone. The fish will be hungrier there. Try adding a rubber corelock sinker to your line a foot or more above the mayfly rig, a half ounce at least. The problem with casting light little mayfly rigs is that they zip up through the fish producing zone too fast, giving only a fish or two (or none) a look. The sinker and a slow retrieve keeps it in the money zone longer. What is the money zone? During mayfly hatches and immediately after, it's going to be nearer the surface than you might expect. On cloudy days particularly, they'll hold high, watching below to spot rising insects. I've actually seen a fish strike more than once when a hatch was on. If you get caught out there without stinger hooks, try adding just an inch or so of nightcrawler to your hook to give walleye a smaller target, and again, strike at any difference during your retrieve. Watch the weather before you make a trip, too. Sometimes, it can't be done because you've planned a Lake Erie visit days or weeks ahead, but if possible pick a day when it's cloudy and windy 13 [ MID-AMERICA BOATING ] JULY 2016 enough to produce a good walleye chop. High holding fish are less spooky on such days, and less likely to flush in all directions when a boat idles past. Finally, if nothing else works, go to Plan B, which is trolling. Trolling, as serious walleye anglers know, keeps the baits at proper depth and speed all of the time, instead of just part, which is the situation for casters. And if you troll long enough, through multiple pods of fish, you're likely 2016’s most popular boat names are... From our friends at BoatU.S., here’s their list of the most popular boat names for 2016. Does yours make the cut? Regardless of lifestyles, families or careers, choosing a name can be difficult. To help boaters with the task, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) offers a list of over 9,000 boat names given by boaters across the country over the last 20 years, and officially released its 2016 list of Top Ten Boat Names. They are: 1. Happy Ours 2. Freedom 3. Grace 4. Serendipity In stock – Several to choose from to find a cluster sooner or later that's still hungry or at least ready for another meal. Use spoons, small crankbaits, minnow imitators like Rapalas, fish a few deep, but most shallow, troll fairly fast to trigger strikes, and use planer boards to get offerings well out to either side of the boat. The law of averages demands that you'll catch at least a few while trolling, even if they're loaded to the gills with mayflies. 5. Island Time 6. No Regrets 7. Liberty 8. At Last 9. Blue Moon 10. Aqua holic “Happy Ours may be the most popular boat on a Friday night at the marina,” said BoatUS Boat Graphics Manager Greg Edge. “Names like Freedom and Liberty show boaters’ patriotic side, but they also like their boat names to remind themselves to slow down and relax, such as the ever-popular Island Time.” For a look at all of the boat names, go to BoatUS.com/boatnames. 5310 E.

Amlin Photography Summer is here, the boats are splashed and water is perfect… the 2016 boating season is well underway. This year we celebrate the 123rd Annual Sail Regatta, the 41st Power Boat Regatta, the 61st Junior Sail Regatta as well I-LYA’s 131st birthday! This is an exciting year for Lady Sharon and I as well as the rest of Team 2016. Every year, the Commodore wants to leave the organization just a little better than the last and we are no exception to that rule. Team 2016 has been working hard all through the winter to find ways to deliver improved programs regardless of sail or power and I believe that our folks have done just that. The Senior Sail event starts off with the Cleveland Deepwater competitors arriving on Thursday August 4th as does the rest of the I-LYA Fleet. I-LYA offers races for most competitors from PHRF / JAM, One Design Keels, One Design Centerboards to Cruising Class teams. There are four days of world class racing with social activities each night as well as daily awards and dinners. This year the regatta runs from August 4th to August 7th. If you haven’t been before, it really is a must see event. It’s hard to believe that there are a lot of Clubs that don’t understand the reach and magnitude of the I-LYA junior sail program. The Yacht and Sailing Clubs that make up the I-LYA Junior Sailors, sail in US SAILING Area E and are from as far south as the Columbus and Cincinnati, OH area - to as far north as the Detroit area and cover from Erie, PA to the east and Indianapolis to the west. This year’s Junior Bay Week Regatta starts on July 17th and runs through July 21st. We look forward to welcoming back our junior sailors and their families from previous years and to meeting our new participants and families in July. This year, the regatta is expected to have over 150 kids sailing out of the regatta home port of Put-In-Bay Yacht Club. Junior Bay Week is a special regatta—a week filled with fun, camaraderie, education, racing and memories for our young sailors that will last a lifetime! 550 Flybridge PRESTIGE The I-LYA Power Boat Regatta will be Wednesday held August 10th through noon Sunday, August 14th. Once again, we’ll have four full days of boating contests and fun ashore at Put-in-Bay! On shore activities offer fun for all. There will be volleyball, golf, softball, hot dog roast, putt-putt golf, steak & chicken roast, a pub crawl, and a rum party! Skippers can compete for flags and bragging rights in docking, chicane, flying mile, and predicted log contests. Attendees can compete in the inflatable dinghy races, cardboard boat races, and weather predicting. Once again, flags will be awarded in these categories.
