Steve, it was nice meeting you to! I'm sure we'll meet again.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Jim S. "J.D." ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):5-14 Time on Water: 2 hrs Weather/Temp: foggy Wind Speed/Direction: calm to light ENE Waves: 0-1 ft. Surface Temp: 48-50 Location: Rochester LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 0 Total Boated:0 Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: 2-2.5 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 5-35ft. Lure Depth: 2-32ft. ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Like the other reports for today, cold water and no fish for me inside. Went to work in the AM because of the heavy fog at the river, launched at noon, couldn't see the Coast Guard station from the boat launch. Putted around the pier to the West and set one top line with an in line board and one shallow rigger. Cycled between riggers, lead core, and surface lures, not much you can do running solo ( 2 rods out ) I didn't run off shore because of the fog and the impending weather change coming, and running solo in a 17 footer. Around 2:00, I could actually feel the pressure change in my sinus cavity, so I pulled rods and headed for the river, knowing a 17 foot aluminum boat with the canvas up can turn into a sail boat quickly...... I just made the river in time.... Here's the weather data from the Summerville Pier weather station 2:10 PM..... wind @ 6 kts. gusts @ 8.9 kts. 2:20.......... wind @ 20 kts. gusts @ 25.1 kts. 2:30.......... wind @ 19 kts. gusts @ 31.1 kts.

What size is the stock treble hook on the Dream Weaver SS spoons?? Thanks

Andy, It's easy to tie your own new leaders. Here's a link to some helpful videos.... http://www.fishdoctorcharters.com/template.tpl?selector=video

Check out the NK website for their spring factory sale. tons of blanks at very good prices

Scoots, read the report : I-Bay by Yankee and Jax. ... sounds like they were trolling down around the Webster Park area

He is talking more on the lines of target practice, like tossing out an old boat cushion or something on a flat day and shooting at it.

I'm having a discussion with a guy at work and I'm sure someone on this site knows the law and can set us straight. Is it legal to discharge a firearm offshore ( 5 or more miles) from a boat on Lake Ontario? I say no, he seems to think it's ok. Thanks, Jim S.

Jim Ras, or Mayers marina, North East corner of Irondequoit Bay. Both guys are great with older motors If you cant find anything, they make after market units that will work with your motor. A bud of mine put one on his boat for the same reason you stated and it worked perfectly. Something like this: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat21276-cat350012&id=0000925011020a&navCount=1&podId=0000925&parentId=cat350012&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IA&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true

Raider 44, Furuno has some monochrome units with duel frequency in your price range. http://www.hodgesmarine.com/FURUNO-LS6100-FISHFINDER-p/furls6100.htm

I agree with Motoman..... running the Furuno 620 fror 3 years now and love it... I got mine here: Note! there is a $50.00 rebate available from Furuno http://www.hodgesmarine.com/Furuno-Fcv620-Package-W-Transom-Mount-Tri-Ducer-p/furfcv620-pwd.htm

I feel your pain brother...... I've got 4 Vectors and since hearing they are going "belly up", I've been trying to get two more myself..... If I find some online I'll shoot you a PM Jim S.

Slightly used my a$$.... That sleigh has more miles on on than a Las Vegas hooker...

Time to think out of the box...... Tell her to keep her dining room, finish the addition the way YOU want it, and make that room your "hunting lodge".... fire place, bear skin rugs, game mounts, leather furniture, etc......

#227 here....... spread the word

Cabela's. Bass Pro, Overtons,

My home port is Braddocks Bay, and is VERY shallow most of the year. I switched over to a composite prop 2 years ago and am very happy with the performance. I runs just like aluminum, but the blades will deflect before they break removing most of the stress taken when you hit something with your prop. The price is right too. I bought it as a spare, but after running it a few trips, decided to run it full time... http://www.comprop.com/
