Welcome to the site. There is a lot of great info here and the people to help you out. Ask away. As stated above I would also look at Fair Haven and Mexico bay. Both have great state ramps. Although I have not been at Oswego, I understand they have a cleaning station which is a big plus.
Good luck and tight lines.
I agree that there is a lot of A$$ holes in Mass, but we are not all like that. In particular the boat owners that travel several hours (six to nine for me) to get to the Great Lake are mostly very nice people. Just saying not ****ing.
Baitnh, thank you very much. Received your check yesterday. Yes I am a long way from the lake. Six hour drive, but so are you. You must have about the same ride?
Again thank you for the donation. Tough year for help. Funny how the out of staters are the ones helping the most currently.
I think Cold water was the cheapest, The last link.

If you wish to make a contribution directly, checks can be made out to Fair Haven Net Pen.
If you with to donate a prize or a cash prize for the raffle table you can send that to me directly.
If shipping would be too much, contact me and I will make arrangements to maybe have it dropped off at Screwy Louis and have Werner pick it up there.

let me put another twist to the subject. A guy on your boat catches and keeps an illegal fish. Do you get the ticket or does he?
good fishing and tight lines.
The purpose for the challenge is to raise monies for the Pen Project as most are aware of. The pen projects all along New York shore line are the main reason for the great fishing we all have been experiencing the last several years. All of the monies are collected through the raffles during the weigh in.
I thought the economy was starting to recoup, but as evident by the lack of donations not all companies are quite comfortable yet.
We are looking for help. Either in the form of a donation or if anyone of the sponsored tournament teams or charters have personal contact to a company they think may be willing to help.
Please help keep our great fishing going on in the future.
It is usually a spoon, though I guess you could use a piece of bait in a head. I usually only do this on a slow day. It just allows another spoon in the water to catch the fish that are higher up in the water column.
What an awesome fish. I think I saw you head in. I made a comment to my day that some one was quitting early. Now I understand why. We are very jealous.
Congrats
Every time I see a service person, I try to approach them, shake their hands, and thank them for there service. I wish more people like us would realize what these people give for us to have the lives we have.
My heart and prayers go out to all of them.
