  1. Maybe I'll put some new Batt. in it. The temp gage.
  2. Mr. A fishal , Do you mind telling me what kind of temp. you had where you were fishing. I was east of the Bay. Just wondering if my temp. is right. Thanks.
  3. I haven't been on lake O this season so I checked the board to see what was going on. I don't fish weekends because of the crowds, so I hit I Bay about 530am. the lake looked good for a 16ft. boat so out we went. want out to 75fow and checked temp.with hand held gage,52deg. down 10ft. 52deg.30ft.down. setup two riggers and two divers,spin doc. and flies on divers and spoons on the riggers.Set riggers at 29-40ft.down, wire out 100 --150ft. Worked out to about130fow and back in,nothing. changed spoons and setup 45-60ft down, hit 150fow and 60rod fires,my partner sat there and said is there something on that rod. He needs more training. . Oh well,we got out to about 180fow and the 45ft, rod fires,I grabbed this one and hand it to him,he got it in, about a 3or4lb steelhead.We pulled lines at 9:00am to beat the crowd, at the dock. Nice morning to be out.Beautiful sun rise.
  4. Go on line and Google up the Info.on that motor and tell them your problem. I just went through that but I changed the seals and screwed up the linkage between forward and reverse. Good luck.
  5. I had an American angler for over 15 years and just wore it out. cleaned a pile of perch with it, it still works but I can't get the blades in it any more.I'm now using a Rapala heavy duty, more power,small V8. So far so good. If I just use it on Eyes it will last me for ever.
  6. I fished Oneida Lake this weekend with my son, we didn't do that well, three eyes two perch and a few gobes. I was trying to figure out how to kill them I decided to drown them so I hooked one up to a black and purple jig and cast it out to drown,boy it was pulling hard for a little fish,wait a nice eye eat it. can you believe that, guess I'll have to find a better way to kill them. LoL.
  7. Back when I fished the rivers for bass and eyes I caught several carp on black and gold spoons and spring trolling in lake O I caught them on black and gold stick baits and the lures were in there mouths so the had to chase them. Fishuntrapper, funny your friend drove to Toronto to by corp when two of my friends from Fulton netted carp and stored them in ponds till they had a tanker truck full and then ship them to Canada. That was in the seventies also. I tried smoked carp, it tasted like any other smoked fish.
  8. Wow, those are sure some fat eyes. Nice job.
  9. Way to go Steve, thats a nice catch for a lake with no perch left in it.
  10. I had a lower unit welded,it didn't work and it would have been cheaper to replace the housing to start with. If the crack runs after welding you well lose oil and fill up with water and tear up the gears and leave you dead in the water.
  11. Thanks Gator,I was only kidding about going out.
  12. Hows the ice on Honeoye,thinking about giving it a try in the morning? LOL.
  13. I have two 9500's, they were a good unit(1990)and No the Loran towers are not running. Theres still a lot of good features, like split screan and bottom track. I use one fore ice fishing, works well.
  14. I think you would have gottin 10 or15 more boats if you had better weather. High five to those that had the brass to sit out there in those conditions,my old bones don't take that very well any more. Congratulations to the winners :yes: . See you the 30th.
  15. There was a lot of shoes around the Barns Corners area and plenty of state land.
  16. Back in the 90ies a friend who lived on the north shore of Oneida Lake spotted a white buck in a horse coral, he watched through fall till deer season opened and it disappeared till spring, then later in the summer it was seem with a brown doe and a white fawn.Thats a big piece of woods,and its fairly flat and hard to hunt and got a lot of snow. When I retired I lost track of the guy who was watching them so I can't tell if there is any whites left in that area. I have seen white deer outside the fence on Rt 414.

    Otisco ice

    I talked to my son who lives on Oneida lake this evening, he said there was one hut out of Lewis Pt. this afternoon and could see where others went out, also there were tracks going out from the east end but no one was out there this evening. the ice is clear of snow, should be good for the week end. He didn't check the ice so anyone going to try it be safe,take a big buddy and send him out first.LoL
  18. A friend of mine nad a 16 ft. Tracker with a major problem, had to send it back to the factory, when they finely settled they gave him a new boat and a bigger motor.(60hp).
  19. I'm for the Lightfields, 12ga 1187 with hasting barrel. the gun will shoot 2inch group at 100yds, me I'm not sure about. Have a safe hunt and don't forget to have some orange on.there's a lot of rifles out there now and at 300yds you might look like a bear in that tree.
