I remember those days too ! The original ESLO derby and the early days of the LOC Trucks and boats backed up to 104B on Lakeview Rd. Had a real person at the shack to launch ($5.00) From our cottage on Sandy pond you could look out over the lake and see hundreds of navigation lights on boats way before sunrise I’m afraid those days are gone forever. I lost my LOC fishing partner a couple of years ago and it’s hard to get anyone to join ( too early , too rough etc. ) the stocking reductions haven’t helped the fishery. I’ve been out as many times as possible this year , caught fish on (almost ) every trip , buts it’s nowhere near what it was Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

She was rolling out of the NE on Wednesday. Fishable but not comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Been there done that. Had some great breakfasts out if it though 🤣 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I totally agree. The wind was non stop 🛑. I had zero days when it wasn’t at least 3 footers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It looks like corrosion from contact with pressure treated lumber. Are your bunks pt? How about stringers ? You CAN’T use pressure treated in contact with aluminum. It eats it just like in your pics Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I’m happy as a pig in sh** that he is going. I didn’t like or vote for his father either. But this goes way deeper than any of us will ever know. He was grooming himself for the 2028 presidential nomination ( maybe the 2024 ). Somebody didn’t want that to happen. Political assassination I’m sure that the allegations are all true and probably many more At any rate bye [emoji112], Andy Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Was a lot rougher than they predicted. Only vehicle in the parking lot at 6 AM I motored out to 160 fow ( slowly). I was solo so I had to go with the seas to set up. Waves coming from SW AND SE. very confused seas I had one knock off over 150 down 85. Temp was 48. Pulled the plug at 10. To rough for solo fishing Still only vehicle in the lot when I got in Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Doesn’t look like anyone is going out Friday and Saturday. Ruff ruff Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have fished out of Cape Vincent If you run out by the shipping Chanel by Charity Shoal there is a deep crater. I have caught loads of Lakers there. Be careful of the border. You’re very close there and the Canadians are not being nice about crossing to their waters. If you want salmon you’ll have to run toward Galoo and beyond Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Photos of the channel yesterday after the heavy rain The currents were very strong - it moved a lot of sand and widened the entrance which was getting very narrow.. it is passable but still not marked The inlet is constantly changing day to day. Winds and storms bring sand or take sand The channel is not marked by buoys as in past years. I doubt that any boat over 20’ can safely navigate this channel. The plus side is that it’s mostly sand. One Rock pile to starboard as you leave the pond. You may lose some paint on prop and skeg I’ve had to get out and push a few times in previous years. The water is VERY low this year. Use caution. The pond is a great place , but the inlet has some serious problems Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Ok to use if you’re a horse or a cow. Not for use in humans. Powerful carcinogen. Read the label Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
