    Save your money. Snubbers aren’t needed if you set your releases so that the weight stays in the water at all times Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I NEVER let my weight come out of the water. Me releases are adjusted so I can set with weight in the water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    This is one I’ve had for a long time. It’s dated 1992. GPS was new and not very accurate due to selective availability loran was still very much in use Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I’ve been fishing this lake for over 40 years and am still learning or maybe relearning. I found an old fishing hotspots map of Henderson in my old collection it’s dated 1992. And I’ll be damned. They call the sharp drop off west of Stoney point “ the wall “. The wall out in the shipping lanes is also labeled. Never recall the drop off by Stoney being called the wall. But there it is. This map also has all the TD s from loran. Somebody was looking for a map with this overlay. As a side note. I lost a cannon speed and temp probe and a 13 lb weight right there. Not paying attention to depth. She comes up in a hurry. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Totally agree. Everyone has their own name for places and things. Somewhere along the line flashers became paddles. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Ok Guess everyone has names for structure. I’ve been fishing the trench for going on 30 years. The wall refers to the cliff face out in the shipping channel between Gallo and Main Duck islands. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    According to the sheriff’s Dept. The accident happened much closer to shore. If the 30 ft is correct , that’s exactly where the rocks are To the right of the north rip rap wall https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/lake-ontario-boating-accident-one-person-rescued-by-kayaker/ Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I stand corrected All these years I’ve been under the , I guess false , understanding that a cuddy was an enclosed compartment. I always dig out the required number of vests and have them , along with the throwable tucked in the gunwales. I will still do this because things happen fast out there. But you’re right. They can be left in the cabin if it’s not locked. My bad Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Life vests in the cuddy , Illegal while under way. They should be on deck and readily available Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    You can clearly see the hazards on your GPS or NOAA chart The hazard buoys would be to the left of the green aid to navigation coming in from the lake. Always keep the red aid to starboard when returning. If you were to the left of the green aid , you were in the rocks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Did you run into the rocks to the left of the rip rap jetties ? There are hazard buoys there but not lit. They would fit the distances reported. Glad everyone is safe Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Where did you see 1 footers forecast ? NOAA was at 2-3 which means 3-4 easy Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Absolutely. It’s a federal law to have level buoyancy also has a self inflating lifeboat under the seat and is equipped with epirb. We spared no expense Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    You had me when you said it was 1/2 the diameter of your current cable. What brand is it ? I’ve always used mason wire. I get the coated for one rigger for my down probe. I’ve always had good luck with it Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Been using Roemers for years without any problems like the adjustability and the fact you can stack them Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I see your reasoning, but if that were the only reason Alaska , Washington state , British Columbia should be overrun with algae blooms. Millions of salmon that have spawned just lay in the rivers and rot. The mooneye die offs in the years before salmon introduction had all beaches ankle deep in dead and decaying fish , yet I can’t remember hearing about toxic algae in those days it must be a combination of factors contributing to this phenomenon. While I’m thinking back , Oneida lake used to get pea soup green by July , every year. Yet I never heard of it being toxic. Swam and fished in that lake every year.

    Everything has doubters because it doesn’t fit in with their plans. So it is a hoax Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
