Should I get a look lead acid battery or should I go the extra money for lithium? Not something I’m going to use every day once in a while never had a trolling motor so I don’t know.

**** load of variables, from how hard it's blowing and for how long to how close you are to the source of the currents . If your within 10-20 miles of say the Niagara River dumping into O , it would never affect the deep current . Your by Rochester and it's been blowing hard for a week it may shift the current a bit . Then you have different levels of where the current might start ,say at 50' or maybe 100' if your on the fringe of the main current channel . Current is going to be a lot stronger near the source or outflow ,like Oswego than it will be in the area of the center of it . I'm not a marine hydroligist and could be way off in my take on your question .

I'm not familiar with the Seneca River, but if you ever want to fish the lower Genny let me know for some details. Lots of cats, and a great place to take a young person for lots of action. We usually use cut fish for bait..... lakers, salmon scraps, etc....... and hang chunks hooked through the skin under a slip float. A surprising number of cats in the Genny are not bottom oriented but are up off bottom and are structure/current oriented. Seneca River cats probably aren't much different.

We used t catch a lot of them at night at Mays Point (between Savannah and Seneca Falls) near the Montezuma Refuge. As a kid I caught a Blue Cat there that was 9 inches between the eyes (didn't have a scale) Fished from shore though.

Hello, my son has it in his head that he wants to catch catfish. He has not caught any yet. I am planning on taking him to the seneca river either launching out of montezuma or port byron. Can anyone tell me what area would be better? It's a 60+ mile long river. I am mostly a troller, so not a very accomplished catfish person. If anyone knows any good areas on that river this time of year, I would appreciate any info. I am assuming that the catfishing scene is not as secretive as most other types of fishing. Lol.

Anyone have any knowledge on the following: If an east wind is pushing the surface water, how far down does this affect a west current? I could not get an answer from the "learned" people who study water.
