  1. My wife and I are lucky. We have a camper on leased property. Only 5 miles to the lake. We live in NH and it's exactly 300 miles doorstep/doorstep. I run a 24 foot Thompson with a Yamaha 9.9 kicker. The kicker takes the sting out of the price of gas. I never gas at a marina. I always trailer the boat to a gas station and gas her up there. We are both in our 60's and money is getting tighter for everybody. I, personally, have never fished anyplace that I enjoy more than Lake Ontario. The cost of getting there hurts and once there the cost of groceries hurts as well. My Dad, RIP, once gave me a bit of advice. "The cost of living is EVERY penny you make." Along with that piece of advice I'll say one more thing. If you don't have the money to pay for something, DO NOT put it on a credit card. In time they will consume your income.

    The fishing was phenominal. We limited out, both on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Fished 50 FOW from Rudy's to well west of the can. Ran the riggers 35 to 45' deep with 130 foot leads. Fished the boards using 200 foot leads. J-11 jointed Rapalas. Black/ silver, fire tiger, flourescent orange, and the clown all worked. On the riggers it was the habenaro, and the die hard. Off the water both days by 10:30 AM. Lots of boats but everyone was considerate of one another. Saturday was just a GREAT day to be on the water. The majority of fish, for us, came off the boards.
