Walleye Numbers are Down in Lake Erie
Ohio Division of Wildlife (ODW) officials have released their 2024 trawl survey indexes for Lake Erie’s two most-sought sportfish: yellow perch and walleye. This year’s results bring an end to a streak of wildly successful hatches for walleye. For yellow perch two of Ohio’s three management zones were above average, with the third zone down by 70% over last year.
Why Maintaining A Gas Car Sucks Compared To An Electric Car
Owning gas cars means dealing with frequent oil changes and various maintenance issues, leading to time, cost, and reliability concerns versus EVs. This rant is going to list some things I’ve found to be annoying about the ~15 gas cars I owned until I went all electric in 2021. At … [continued]
