Pretty cool... young Long Nosed Gar

Awesome! The fishing person in me really wants to know how many spoons or downrigger sharks are all over that thing. All the parts sticking up like you said are magnets for gear. Especially since that is laying on pretty flat bottom.

One way or another I will have more coming I might be working with Lansing Fire on their new rescue to do some joint training and see how their new system does with sonar in the next few weeks it’s a great target to practice tuning the sonar on Cody so thanks for the find .. Lily aka Zack brought it to my attention and I had some time on Patrol this weekend to work on the scan It appears at least 50 feet long and clearly has some mast or posts sticking up based on the shadows.. depending on what visibility is I could drop a dive group on it myself I am very intrigued …

That’s a beautiful shot. I can’t wait to see the dive pictures! I almost bought an ROV on Amazon that could dive down that far and look, but they aren’t cheap just for that.

Here is a good image and exact coordinates on the wreck. I spoke with some friends on State Police dive team they will likely dive on it for training and will give me pics of it when they do I will post them

I bought my Total Boat Penetrating Epoxy on Amazon and just checked... available with delivery in 6 days.

I couldnt tighten it anymore. The brass inserts were worn down to nubs.

Way to go Eric, nice box!!

Excellent day off Rochester! Looking at the weather report I knew we had to get out early. Left the dock at 0530 and motored about 10miles west passed Bradocks bay. Slowed down in 80ft and did some searching. Found a good screen 170’-180’and set up. First king was on before we finished. Worked the 42 line until then waves picked up then trolled back to I-Bay. Had 10 kings before a 0830. There was a strong westerly current and speed control was was tough so we ran 5 rods. 3 riggers and 2 dipsey, spoons on everything minus a flasher fly on the port dipsy. Rriggers set at: 94’, 106’, 80’ Dipsy 3 settings 260’ and 225’ Carbon 14, bad toad half moon, wonderbread,UV mongoose and two faced spin doctor with stub glow. Due to the current most fish came on a westerly troll. 3.6 surface speed and 3.2 at the ball. That was as slow as I could get with both bags. The salmon were feisty, even trying pass the boat. Went 15 for 17 Trolled back in front of the bay and road the waves in. 3’-5’ waves and occasionally 7’ er by the time we quit.

Titebond III for gluing marine plywood sheets together, stainless fasteners. Have all your clamping, compressing stuff ready along with driver and fasteners before you open up the Titebond III jug. Don't be cheap applying it. If it doesn't ooze out the edges you didn't use enough. Spar Urethane gloss for sealing wood/cuts,holes. Again don't be cheap coat after coat after coat. Lifecalk for coating fasteners when you install them. Theres a good YouTube of Calumet Marine doing transom replacement.

Weatherman nailed it here as steady rain at 5 but tailed off and was manageable by 6 so a nice morning to be on the water. A few lake trout were active early, then a decent Brown and then a really nice Rainbow spiced things up. A little while later thought I had a pickerel on until it got closer to the boat. Quick pic and back in the water. Very cool looking fish with vibrant markings.

Nice job
