  1. OK. Here is a Sodus report for you. And happy pie day. Launched next to Coast Guard station at 7:20am on 3/14/24. Turned west out of inlet set up boards about 1 mile west of inlet and trolled west. 9 rods, before we could get rod #2 set we had a small brown. From then on was a fairly steady pick, most were 1-2 pounds. A couple nice antlantics And 3or 4 browns in the 2-4 pounds and 1 maybe 6lbs. Had a few flurries of activity but mostly just steady up until noon when the wind started to shift from the west to the north. We stayed mostly in 15fow. At 1:30,,, water that we had earlier fished in was now gin clear. Between 12:30 and 1:30 we caught just one brown. saw water that was 43deg all rapala bite off boards except 1 on downrigger spoon. Absolutely a beautiful day on the water. Saw maybe 6 other boats 4 boat trailers in parking lot at 2pm
  2. Weather looks decent for the next few days. Anybody been out of Sodus yet?

    Motel

    Check out K&G Lodge in Oswego. Great cabins perfect for 4 people. Reasonably priced and not far from Launch. kglodge.com
  4. Asking $1,850! One owner Yamaha 9.9hp 4 Stroke, short shaft, tiller, manual start for sale. I bought this new in 2014. No issues, runs perfect. There is one blemish on this motor, a nasty little scratch on the rear of the cowling that was all my fault for not paying attention while backing my boat into my garage. The only reason I am selling is because my right shoulder just doesn’t have the strength it used to have. Even though the outboard usually starts on the first pull that first pull still hurts and while drifting the Susquehanna I typically start the motor 30 times in a day! I recently bought a 9.9 with electric start and have no need for this one any longer. There are a few dings on the prop, nothing serious. Annual maintenance of engine and lower unit oil, spark plugs, and fuel filter always done by me. outboard always stored in heated garage over winter. Runs great, no issues. Comes with a 3 gallon fuel tank and fuel line. Always ran non ethanol fuel. A new one will cost you close to $3,000 I am asking $1,850 OBO located near Mansfield PA
  5. Still for sale and still brand new!
  6. First day out for 2024. Launched out of Treman. Two of the launch ramps are closed as they appear to be rebuilding the lower portions of the docks. Plenty of water to launch and canal was clear of ice. Started In close looking for browns with boards and stick baits. Caught the biggest smallmouth that I have ever seen. Picked up a laker in close as well. Moved out into 100-120 fow after about two hours. Picked up about a dozen small lakers 90’ down. Great day on the water. Surface temp was 40.5 and down 90 was 40.5. Saw two other boats. Talked to one of them and they also caught small lakers and a couple 8” landlocked. Anybody been out of Sodus?
  7. I am looking for a Mercury 15hp or 9.9hp outboard. Must be: 4 stroke, electric start, and short shaft. If you have one that I might be interested in send me a private message. Let me know what you have and where you are located. thanks Frank
  8. If you thought about getting out on Cayuga on 12/16 but didn’t make it,,, you missed a beautiful day on the lake. This 10lb laker took a deep diver off a planer board in 190fow. Picked up 3 other lakers in 150fow and 70’ down on the riggers. Water temp stayed right around 44deg. My Lowrance has “glitched” like this one other time. Clearly I’m in 180fow but the depth shows 38.5. Trolling along with no issues and I saw the screen “blink” and the depth went blank and after a minute or so came up as 38.5. Shutdown and restart did not fix but after about 5 minutes or so the depth read correctly. Did this once before months ago. Any thoughts?
  9. Nobody needs this filter??? it’s less than half price guys!
  10. Yamaha 10 microm MAR-M10EL-00-00 fuel filter/water separator for 115 hp outboards and smaller. Brand new, still sealed in plastic. I bought this by mistake, my outboard is 200hp. $10 is a great deal. I live near Mansfield PA and travel to Elmira, Corning, and Williamsport often, OR Add $5 and I will ship it to you.
  11. Launched next to Arnies at 5:20am, pulled out at 1pm. 1). Last time we were at Sodus was 7/6/23 and the fleas were horrible. Today hardly noticed them. 2). I have not seen so many bait pods and marked so many fish this year,, until today. 3). Unfortunately we only went 3/5, all kings 5lb, 10lb, 12lb. 4). Most fish and bait I marked was in the 120-170fow, but we marked fish out to 200fow. 5). Temp down 80 hovered around 46. 6). No special color, all colors hit. Never got a hit on flasher/fly. Did not use meat. Now, look at the picture. I’ve had this happen occasionally but today it happened over and over again. Many,,, MANY fish would swoop in, look at my baits, and swim off. If those fish had bit I would have boated 30 fish. Comments? Also, anyone know of a video using copper with slide diver? I’m not doing something right and would like to fix it.
  12. Thanks for the report Pappy. There is a fair chance I will get up to Sodus on 7/20. I will post results. If anyone is up there today (7/19) I’d love to hear how you made out.
  13. All spoons. Purple with fluorescent green back was best
