Hey grady If Mills does not work out check this link and look under the Lodging thumb nail there should be a bunch of options there. http://www.1000islands-clayton.com/visitorinfo/

Grady Try these guys the owners are Al and Leslie they are very nice people and I stay there every year. I would call them nice garage sale furniture kind of cottages and they do have a couple of burn pits to have a fire at night. The docks are nice and his prices are reasonable. Mils Cottages and Motels 1-877-516-9684 Just make sure you tell them what you need and I am sure they will let you know if they can help you. Also they dont have a launch but there a few in the area close by that Al can point you to. Here is a link http://www.milscottages.com Good luck This is an edit Grady I miss read your post and missed the dog thing Mils can not accomadate dogs and I dont think they allow campers but the cottages might work. Right next door to Mils is a place called Lanzs I think they accomadate trailers but not sure about camp fire or dogs here is the link http://www.lanzs.com/ I have not stayed there so i am not sure about the grounds or the owners.

Nice Report oh and all the fish that get away are derby winners LOL just Kiddin but rember he is still out there some where!!

I know what you mean my wife went out of town from last wensday until sunday so I am baby sitting my son and a sick family memeber I wont be able to get out until tuesday if I can even get the day off!!!

Foster Nice going its nice to see sandy on the board. Good Luck this weekend i might get out sunday afternoon but probabley wont make it out until mid week. Gene

Very nice looking ride enjoy it!!!

Awesome i just love seeing kids enjoying the outdooes GREAT JOB !!!

Tom It sounds like it was a very interesting weekend for you glad you got a couple fish. The creek and launch was getting creazy as I was leaving I dread when the fish start coming near the creek the wakos realy start coming out and hang all over the launch. Godd save on the probe and ball that would have sucked.

I didnt run 4 dipsys today but I ran 3 with 1 down the shoot on a 0 setting it work out well. The twilli tip and 50lb power pro worked great no real flea problems I think the wire may have grabbed more.

Great Job!!!

CC I spliced in some 10lb florcarbon and ran them back about 50 ft and that seemed to do the trick. They werent big fish but it kept the boat happy and the one decent steelie jumped about 8 times clearing the water and tail walking i wish I had a video camera for that one it was way cool!!! I was tempted to put the boards out but I guess I was to lazy to do it but I think I should have.

Go Getem Tom bring the sunscreen LOL!!!!

Great report Foster you should have a happy kid there!!!

Thanks Guys I passed the info along I hope my friend has a good day on Seneca!

A Friend told me Roys marine he said that should do it. He said it was down a few miles on the west side. If you guys have any other options please let me know. Thanks

Hi guys I have a friend going from Bergen Ny to Seneca Lake he was going to Launch somewhere from the upper north end of the lake do you know where he can get some bass minnows and worms to keep the family happy !! Thanks Gene

Wow Todd that sucks it probably is in the display mother board. Call the factory again and tell them and see what they say I think for the dispaly going bad would be rare. I work with alot of insturment / control equipment for a living and 99% of the time it is the sensor that goes bad not the display/control boards. If they think it might be a fairly simple fix I would be happy to look at it for you maybe just a ic chip came loose or there may be a loose connection in the mother board if that is it I will take a look at it for you if you want. I will send you a pm with my phone number. Gene

Looks like you had a great mini!! vacation nice fish!!!

Nice looking Fish and some happy fisherman!!

Thats Great Todd good luck!!!

I checked the marine general site and they had one on there site here is the link 169.99 http://www.marinegeneralcatalog.com/ind ... tail&p=179 I called them and they said they are back ordered as well but should have some by the end of next week. Sorry that was the best I could come up with. 1-800-777-8557

I am not sure I checked cabelas for you and there site says they are back ordered as well but if you call them they might have a delivery date I dont know if that could help. Maybe somebody else on this site can put you on one.

Todd How did you make out with the temp problem I hope it went well.
