  1. Charleys is a pretty good run to the eastern part of the lake but that would have been perfect with the boat slips and ramp and very reasonable , I will keep it in mind .I'm noticing alot of places are already full for June .
  2. Thanks for the report robbiedo appreciate it . BC FD all the best to you and your wife hope treatment goes well for her .
  3. Thanks Chowdaire I will check it out , anybody know of any other places it would really be nice to have a boat slip too , south east shore would work too . Also its only my wife and I so just looking for a small clean cottage preferably with a boat slip but not a must and something we can rent for two days at a time , thanks

  5. Anybody know of any cabin rentals on Oneida lake preferably east end of the lake , would like to get up sometime this month , 2 people .
  6. I have a 2000 that I bought new and with a little care over the years it still looks new inside and out , just curious what do they sell for new these days
  7. We had a good trip two weeks ago out of Newburgh landed at least 40 fish mostly small ones but caught two 31'' and three 22'' first trip with my own boat , drifting with bloodworms . Found out how expensive bait was and if you can even get any . How are you guys making out with downriggers and leadcore ,
  8. Looks like we are doing a trip to the cape also for stripers , taking are own boat for more possibilities rather than surf fishing , so end of June into july are we going to have a hard time finding rooms at a decent price with the summer tourist season in full swing or are there places to stay that are reasonable . Also what area should we concentrate are fishing on so we know where to look for motels . Appreciate any help at all !!!
  9. Not saying trolling won't work there just wasn't much of it going on , pretty much all drifting it would be nice if trolling worked .We used about a 6 to 8 ft fluorcarbon leader of 15 lb test to mainline with a # 5 or 7 barrel swivel , egg sinker 1 to 2oz. depending on the wind and tide you want it to hang fairly straight or it wont stay at the right depth , if memory serves me hooks were 4/0 circle. They were easy to see on the depth finder and we caught alot of the fish we marked and that also will give you the depth there at 17 ft was good for us that day . Good luck
  10. I fished out of Newburgh - Beacon last year for the first time on the Hudson we did really good , from what I saw its pretty much drift fishing with blood worms or eels and bait is expensive and there is only one place I know of selling it and you have to pre order your bait , I brought home 3 just around 28'' there is a slot limit . You do need a Marine Registry license you can it anytime and its free just do a google search on it and call them for the license , you might be able to get it online as I needed it that day so had to call them . I did see one boat trolling but not sure if they caught any fish .
  11. Sounds like there are alot of good fishing opportunities on the Cape wish I was closer to good fishing seems like I have to run three hours to get anywhere good .
  12. OK I will have to find out when they go , I thought i heard spring was there time to go up ..
  13. Thanks for the info guys , sounds like it could be tuff the first time up especially fly fishing, I do know of a group that went up last year that did real good but they know the area well and have been doing it awhile sounds like I better get a hold of them and see if I can tag along !! I was thinking of taking the wife and doing some site seeing and fishing on my own but for the first trip I would probably be better off with someone thats been there before .
  14. Didn't want to hi jack the summer thread , I was told spring time can be really good for surf fishing for stripers on the Cape is it something I could do on my own or would it be pretty tuff to find them on my first trip, also fly fishing for them was mentioned which would really be fun if my casting would be enough to reach them , has anyone been up in the spring .
  15. I agree with bob do a good compression test warm engine if possible , your not going to be able to check everything in the backyard with someone else's boat .but a basic compression test will give you a idea if you should buy it or not and like stated look to see if the numbers are close write them down as you go per cylinder if you get a crazy figure on one go back at the end and double check it .
  16. Thanks for the reply , I'll see if I can make it up .
  17. How big is the Brewerton flea market
  18. How big is this show , how many tables usually, its a good run for me from Pa but interested ,can anyone chime in
  19. we use to go up every spring fishing was excellent on Hay Bay and Sherman point put in are time and figured out a good bite and drift that worked for us then it went downhill fast and from what I hear hasn't recovered much then I found the finger lakes but I miss that walleye fishery I'm hoping oneida lake can fill the gap thats one reason why I'm getting leadcore rigs ready .
  20. roughrider thats a monster !!! use to hear of alot of big fish like that through the ice years ago !! How has the regular season fishing been is it getting any better up there.
  21. Had a close call very similar on Cayuga quite a few years ago , guy was come north up the lake off Aurora he didn't have the boat planed off at all bow sticking way up in the air he couldn't see where the heck he was going we were trolling at the time with downriggers and a kicker motor but managed to veer off at the last minute and get away from him I couldn't believe he couldn't see us he just kept coming at us !!!!!
  22. I dont think swimming has been allowed at stewart park for quite a few years unless they opened it recently , I was told it was a bacterial pollution at the time , just what I heard I never looked into any further just really surprised the water in that area wasn't fit to swim in and that they couldn't fix the problem .
  23. kind of related , there was a time recently that no swimming was allowed at Stewart park on the south end of cayuga and maybe is still off limits, whats that all about there's a nice park on a beautiful finger lake and the water in this area isn't clean enough to swim !!!!

    Leadcore line

    got my combo's for Christmas the reels are bigger than I thought they would be and should be no problem holding the leadcore the rods feel good like sk8man noted a nice soft tip bt stiff butt section should work out just fine , thanks for all the input got to get my leadcore ordered !!!!!!
  25. Justin I was always led to believe that the fish stockings were to some extent based on the diary program , not true ?
