    thanks Sk8man , Glass factory was going to be my first stop . Hope to hook up with a few slob perch . Fishing at Henderson has been poor to non existent lately . We hit them on the St. Lawrence a couple of weeks ago , but it's getting late up there .

    I would like to bring my 83 year old buddy down to fish for perch (his favorite fish ) . We are coming from Watertown on July 6th or 7th , and would appreciate any info that you could provide . I have fished the LT derby many times but never chased the big perch . We will buy bait and launch at Roy's . Thanks in advance for your help . Mark

    Always a radio check as soon as I'm on the lake . But ,never on channel 16 ,which is the hailing and emergency channel . Pick a recreational channel (68 or 72) for your check . Most boaters will reply as a courtesy . And don't ask the CG for a check they will ignore you unless you are on 16 , then they will tell you to shift your idle chatter to a different channel .

    Patriot , you said it all. RD herring strips were the bomb. They are still available in Canada. They had to blame VHS on something other than the ships using the seaway Have had success with Erie Dearie I just went to Fat Nancy's and stocked up. Thanks for the tip Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I am a huge fan of cut bait fishing and am having a hard time finding Rhys-Davis large teaser heads . Anyone have a handle on why they are hard to come by and any info on suppliers would be much appreciated .

    Here we go again !! This article has a lot of flaws . I am a resident of the area and all the people I have spoken with were against the power transmission lines . This is the first time I have heard of no buyers for the power. Now they have scaled down ( for now ) the number of turbines . Remember the story of the camel getting his nose under the tent ? They now want to run the transmission line underwater to Oswego county . Then what ? They will need power lines from there . Having lodging and food service and work boats ( and nose to tail semis to haul all the turbines ) using the public dock at Henderson Harbor will seriously affect the boat launch at that site . I for one will be there to vote NO to this assault . One thing of note : these developers are targeting Sacketts Harbor for economic incentives . Maybe starting a war between Henderson and Sacketts ? http://www.wwnytv.com/news/local/Another-Wind-Project-Proposed-For-Galloo-Island-292257531.html

    The problem I encountered with the Convectors was line leakage when the rods were loaded in the riggers . Unless the drag was reefed down to lock ,the line would creep out a click or 2 at a time . Okuma replaced the drag washers with the Catalina washers and they have been great since .
  8. chinook35
    Okuma has always had issues with their drags . I bought Convectors ( CV ) when they first came out and the drags were terrible . Okuma took them back and upgraded the drags . They are great now ,but it took a lot of time and effort to get them that way .I have 12 convectors (all upgraded by Okuma for free ) and will go with another brand as they die .

    Glad you got the link to work . Fishing has been slow and it looks to get worse .

    The Gov is finding out what fishers have known for years . The NWS and NOAA are full of s--- . http://www.nydailynews.com/newyork/cuomo-pushes-enhanced-weather-system-new-york-article-1.2028068
  12. chinook35
    That's right
  13. chinook35
    40 + years of fishing on Lake O has taught me " What you see is what you get " NOAA is a guide and is right only some of the time . I add 1' to their forecast wave height IE: 1 to 3 becomes 2 to 4 .
  14. chinook35
    A long as they don't enforce the exercise area (impact area) so the can play with their M60's or 240's or whatever they have . That would put a definite crimp on the fishing grounds .

    Here is a report of a body found on Brennan's beach . http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/08/body_found_on_brennans_beach_on_lake_ontario_near_pulaski.html#incart_m-rpt-2

    A big roger that on the lake trout . Fished solo today from 6:30 to 2:30 . Went straight to 150fow north of the pond and trolled south to my old king salmon waypoints . Caught and released 8 lakers , all caught on meat and white flasher and glow white twinkie . Had a chrtreuse/green on the other rigger and never moved that rod . Also ran wire dipsey with several different spoons without a touch . The white on whitie was hot . The probe rigger (chartreuse) was showing 41 degree water at 79 ft. with 102 ft. of cable out . I ran the white on white rigger with 126 ft of cable out (guessing 80 something ft. ) with less drag without probe . Marked fish all over Mexico Bay at depths from 60ft to bottom and several large bait balls with marks under them . NO kings !! This is always prime time in that area for salmon . Went out to 300fow and back in .

    I hope they show up . They were late last year and later this year . I would really like to hear what the DEC and fishery biologists have to say about the lack of mature Kings . They have been very quiet . Is VHS a factor ? Is the fishery crashing ? Come on NY state , A little imput please .

    There are so many Ugly Stick variations . The rods I use are BWD110170 . They are 7' 2 piece ,medium action and rated for 10-25 lb. test line . They have longer grips than the regular casting rods . I find these rods easier to rig and handle than 8'6" rods ( I still have about a dozen long rods sitting in my cellar , I started out with the long rods ) . I also have and use a few 8' rods that I like .But the 7 footers have won me over . I liked the Penn Power Sticks ,but they are discontinued .
  19. chinook35
    I now own 6 of the 7' 2 piece ugly sticks and have never looked back . I love them .

    You had the misfortune of breaking down in Oswego during Harbor Fest . The folks that are in the harbor for the festivities could care less about fishermen or their troubles . The boats that gather there , and I'm sure you lost count of the numbers , Are there for the party and to watch the fireworks , if they give up their spot to tow you or offer any assistance , the spot is instantly gone . I stay way away from Oswego (except to drive there for the party and fireworks ) , I tried coming from camp to the harbor by boat several years ago for the fireworks . Can you say insanity ? When the show is over there are hundreds of boats going every which way , And they all run WFO , scary is the word .I recommend (and always will ) to leave Oswego and Wright's landing to the partiers for that weekend .

    I'm not at all sure how the NOAA bouys measure wave height (amplitude) or distance between wave crests (frequency) . But , as an angler who has fished Lake O since the 70's , I have learned (the hard way ) to adjust the NOAA wave height predictions . If the forcast calls for 1 to 3 , I assume 2 to 4 . This had worked for years and the previous post about wave measurement makes perfect sense . If the wave crest is measured from surface to vcrest , that explains why wave height is generally double predictions . It works for me . I will continue to adjust accordingly . Somedays I feel like dealing with 2 to 4 ,some days not so much . lol .
  22. chinook35
    LOL Check out http// www.oswegoharborfest.com and you will see why you can't launch at Wright's Landing . Better head for Fair Haven or Mexico Point .

    That area is protected by the state because of the barrier dunes . No breakwall can be built there by law . Property owners in the area need permits from 3 entities to do ANY work on their summer homes .The area is unique and fragile ( and very beautiful ). If you would rather spend more on gas than kick in a few bucks to the association , it's your choice .

    I just happened to see this post and thought there may be some interested parties here . The channel (Inlet) from N. Sandy pond to Lake O is privately maintained by the Sandy Pond Channel Maintenance Association , (SPCMA ), PO box 686 , Sandy Creek , NY 13145 . It receives NO public funding and is dependant on donations and volunteers . Any one who uses the channel ,even occasionally , should be donating to the cause . With out these folks it would be an iffy and dangerous passage . There is a meeting this Sunday , July 27 , 2014 at the Sandy Creek Town Hall , Harwood Dr. , Sandy Creek NY .The meeting is open to everyone concerned about the future of the Sandy Pond channel .

    Here we go again ! Ultra Shield is NOT approved for use on humans . READ THE LABEL . It is also extremely toxic to fish and all aquatic animals .Label warns not to use near bodies of water . It is not a repellant , it is an insecticide . I wonder if there is any liability involved with recommending this product when the label clearly states "NOT FOR USE ON HUMANS" .
