yes, they are preparing to screw us over, for sure, but I will repeat this until I am blue in the face: What are we so worried about protecting? These waters have absolutely SUCKED the last 5 or 6 years....Nothing is like it used to be.......

I pass by these waters on a regular basis, and for the better part of the summer, they have been EMPTY....empty for miles.....nobody even bothering to fish them....

if people were really that concerned that they were about to lose something precious, wouldn't they be out there in droves trying to get in as much as they could, but they are not, and why? Because the fishing is horrendous.......

And for the Arseholes that have paid 3 to 5 thousand dollars to secure a spot on Kensico ( you flaming idiots! ), where are you?????????

I pass the length of Kensico on a regular basis and it has been totally EMPTY.....where are all these fools who greatly overpaid for a spot? They are tired of going on that water and being disappointed, is where they are....buyer's remorse.......and Kensico is one of the BETTER ones in the system!!!

But Kensico, like so many other waters of the system, has been devoid of weeds, which leaves laydowns as the only cover, and when that is not producing, now what do you do? Chasing smallies in the summer, in a water that has depths of 150 feet is no easy thing to do......especially, when you are trying to do this with a rowboat!

But at least , there, the lack of weeds offers an explanation, but what to say of the waters that DO have abundant and beautiful looking weeds where you cannot buy a fish in them?

None of THIS is being addressed.......just a bunch of us whining over how many boats we could have, or where we could have them, meanwhile, we are whining over waters that are being underfished due to sheer frustration of how difficult it has become.
Muscoot get hit very hard by the ice fisherman and also has the most shore access of any res i think. As for Kensico if you drift sawbellies you will be overwhelmed with smallmouths in the middle parts of the lake and many quality largemouths in and around the coves. I never had much luck lure casting kensico like it was a bass lake. Live bait is a whole different ball game

well, unfortunately, none of my fishing buddies use live bait, so drifting sawbellies is out of the question....I have had my best numbers days on Kensico using lures.

Muscoot, however, is another story as this water has been deplorable for years now, and they had scheduled an electro shock study this year, but it was terminated abruptly for some reason or the other.

word is, they started it, but something happened with the equipment and they had to stop, so they never did a proper and thorough job....they then turned their attentions to other pressing matters, so it remained unresolved as to the bass health of Muscoot.

UPDATE
NYC DEP is editing the proposed rule changes and is looking to hold another public comment meeting on the revised changes in December in Putnam county. The quote below is from a DEP representative

"Hi everyone, we have been working on edits to the proposed rules based on comments from the public comment period. Our plan is to have another round of public comments including another hearing. I don't have the date yet, perhaps 1st or 2nd week of December-but will let you know when we set one up. It will probably be at the Putnam County facility again."

I'm an cautiously optimistic, stay tuned.
