| I don't have any data except what I've seen and there are so many up on the bay that in the early morning when they all take off from chambers island, they are actually picked up on doppler radar from Greenbay. I don't remember what weather sight I seen that on but it is true. Anyone who wants to help out Perch and Walleye in the bay, need to figure out a way to get rid of those birds.Period. |

| Wow 620, I just checked out the link you posted. That is scary stuff. Thank you for posting that. I heard people in Minnesota have had enough of those cormorents also. |

| The resurgence in cormorant population is a positive sign for the health of the Great Lakes and elsewhere. Cormorants are highly sensitive to pollutants such as DDT, which is what depleted the population in the first place. A sizable population is good news about the environmental health of the waterways, not so good news for the fisherman who likes to fish for the same food, even though there would be a balance. Too many cormorants…bad, too few cormorants…also bad. Before they became protected, people used to collect the bird’s eggs for food which helped control the population…not sure if they tasted like walleye though. |

Because the DNR biologist didn't want to keep anyone form harvesting a fish of a lifetime.
Interesting that would be the reason after they went through the trouble of both the Great Lakes Committee of the Conservation Congress and the Executive Council approving the resolution twice.

Location: Rhinelander | yes it is. A huge amount of effort went into the Spring Hearing preparation and the resolution passed. It was killed in conference by committee twice despite the fact it's what the public clearly wants by CC vote. Sometimes the CC works, but most times not so much. |

| Slots???????? There will be plenty of big fish in a few years. In fact, I read it here first, that's what WalleyeFirst does right?
My My My, how fast some people's memories and opinions change. Little refresher reading for some ya'll.

The meathogs love it, the DNR don't mind, and the biologist is interested in appeasing numbers of fisherpeople, not tournament anglers, that's what his review is based upon.
The good ole days on Green Bay are over boys.................you heard it here first. |

| Their surely is not much talk about all the freezer fillers out there. Groups that use to go to lake Erie ever year that are now staying home and hitting the bay every day and not only filling their freezer up, but everyone in their family's also! |
