Jefferson County is on board . Hope the towns and villages follow suit . 

Sei unit complete 1200. 3 year warranty.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Had to replace my Alpha 1 gen II 4 years ago due to a rock and fog . Bought SEI and was never sorry . 

  You will see this on Lake O all the time . One of my pet peeves . A guy that is running a boat that is 300 ft wide and 900 ft long (planer boards and long lines ) is asking a bit much and I have no intention of giving any one that much clearance .

The restrictions were just loosened this year.  The NYS health department ran a study and found the contamination levels have come down significantly.  I was one that gave blood and urine samples for the study.  I eat a lot of salmon, pike, steelhead and perch from Lake Ontario and my levels were VERY low. 

Now the health dept. is trying to determine where the 6th finger came from .

I bought some dressed smelt at the fish market and filleted and cut to bait strip size . I brined the strips in PLAIN salt and borax , packed in zip lock bags and froze . Haven't tried them yet , but they look good and I have high hopes

All I can say is we have some lousy chefs on this site. Lake trout are just as good as any other salmonid when properly prepared.

Give me your address and I will keep you in oil cans for life  lol

Gambler , I agree that the perch fishing late has been good . My point is that the fishery is changing drastically . We could go to several spots in Henderson Harbor and fill the boat with jack perch starting in August . No more . The fishing has started later and later . Is it because of Gobies ? I don't know . But I wish someone could come up with an answer .

I have found ,after 40 years of fishing Lake O ,that weather , wind and wave height predictions are sketchy at best . What you see is what you get . I have seen NOAA forecasts of 1-3 wave height ,only to get to the lake and find easy 3-5 's . and on the other hand I have seen really scary forecasts and the lake is nearly flat . Unless the wind is blowing hard when I get up ,I head to the dock . If it's bad , I head for the diner and wait it out or head back home .

I saw a post that stated the author was going to treat Lake O Lake trout like round gobies and lampreys  . I think I can get behind that idea 

I use a cedar plank to grill the oil cans . Then I throw the fish away and eat the plank . When all there is left to catch on Lake O ,is LT . I'm hanging up my fishing equipment .

Yes  there are several brands of fuel pump pressure testers . You might want to check with auto zone or advance ,they have loaner tools available . Not sure about pressure testers . Did you replace your pump with a marine or automotive pump ?  The marine pump has a vent that goes to the carb  automotive vents to atmosphere ( can you say BOOM if vapors collect in engine compartment) . You may be right about a cracked fuel line to tank . If your fuel line is leaking ,you won't have much or any pressure at the pump . 

Well here's the good news. 3.0 l is not an interference engine. Valves should be ok. Also , thee is no timing chain. Gear to gear and they are phenolic (plastic) get a shop manual and if you have any mechanical skills you should be able to do the repairs yourself. Check on line for parts. Much cheaper

If the cam is not rotating  You broke a timing chain or gear . break out your wallet I am not sure if the 3.0L is an interference motor or not I will check my manual and find out . If it IS  You bent valves when the cam stopped rotating . Not a good scenario in ant case 

Galloo Island Wind ,LLC    This is the name of the new project ,under new ownership .Hudson sold out to Apex Clean Energy Holdings , LLC .Apex is filing a "notice of filing  of preliminary scoping statement" .The  notice is too big to include here . But, the website for Apex is :[email protected]  Also it states any interested party of the public may file a request with the DPS secretary to receive all copies of notices concerning the project .  Address is  [email protected]   . The 30 mile long 145kv AC cable to carry the power to Oswego is going to be addressed in a separate filing ( wonder why ? ) .I already requested copies of all filings . It appears this new company is trying an end around . These turbines will be in a position to affect some prime fishing waters near Henderson and the cable ( which I find even more troublesome ) will travel across Mexico Bay under the greatest Salmon and Lake trout fishery on Lake Ontario . Take a look at a chart of Lake O and lay a course from Galloo to Oswego and you will see what I mean . Hope this project gets shot down and we fisherpeople have the AAA to do it .

I try to stay away from the launches on Memorial Day. Unless I'm in the mood for a lot of laughs. Saw a guy with his new 21 bow rider try to pull the boat sideways onto the trailer. It got hung up halfway on and it took about 20 people to get it back off meanwhile a whole pack of boats circled in front of the launch waiting for the show to be over. Another favorite trick on holidays is for someone to pull up and back down the launch. Just as you are pulling up to the dock to recover. Got to love it. Learning experience

I just installds a Lowrance Hook 7X . I haven't had an opportunity to use it in deep water yet . Seems very sensitive and works well in shallow water . Still trying to get a handle on different frequencies and CHIRP settings

CHARTS  not maps  check the NOAA webite . You can order the charts mailed to you or I believe you can download them to your PC  There is a charge .

1. Just a little FYI on marine radios . Any vessel that has a marine radio (VHF) aboard is required by law to have it on and monitor channel 16 for emergency broadcasts .

When I went shopping for insurance , I found the difference between actual cash value and replacement value , was astronomical . It  was like 450.00 for actual cash value and 1400.00 for replacement cost insurance . I think you will find actual cash value will be very low if you have a claim . Depreciation takes a big chunk out of your boat value according to the insurance industry.

Here's a link to the video of coach Boeheim fishing on Lake O                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              http://www.wwnytv.com/news/local/gone-fishin-boeheim-takes-a-break-on-lake-ontario-378382091.html

Overnight. I don't think there is any set time. Too long might make them loose too much moisture

Sounds like a great idea  !  Please keep us posted on how your home made cut bait works for you . Be sure to use non iodized salt for your brine. I add salt to water till it won't hold any more in suspension . 

They have never seen a squid either. But hoochies catch a lot of kings. A fisheries biologist once told me that they have an inherited memory of what their ancestors found good to eat. So herring and squid work on Lake O

I have been making my own cut bait rigs for years. Gives me something to do over the winter and they work better than anything I have bought commercially
