We would see that first hand at our camp on Sandy pond. We had the pond in the back and the lake in the front. Go swimming in the evening on the lake side. Water like bath water Get up the next morning and jump in for an eye opener. And it definitely was an eye opener. Went from 70’s to low 50’s. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I saw you at the launch. No problems getting out the channel. My sonar said 2.5 just before the Marina. Landed one 22 #. 165 ft of water down 60. Cut bait. Hooked 2 more but they got off. Tough solo when it’s kicking up Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Finally done I decided to fix things that weren’t broke. At least when I started. When will I learn ? New gimbal bearing , new u-joints , all new bellows , decided to replace lower shift cable , bought cheap on-line Chinese cable kit , my bad , way too much drag , couldn’t adjust to make shift interrupt work, ordered OEM , change cable ,AGAIN. Now works as advertised took to Magee Canvas for new top and side curtains Just got done outfitting with gear. Hope to get out this week. Looks like it’s starting to turn on.

Watching your weights and baits on your sonar can be misleading. The fish on your screen are at the depths on your screen ( usually ) if they are directly under your boat. Your weights and baits are NOT at the depth on your screen. They are at that DISTANCE from your transducer. Fish the marks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The dredging was halted by the DEC due to the presence of the piping plover. An endangered species. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

From the Sandy pond channel maintenance association: NY Marine Services have pulled all the buoys in the channel until a permanent solution can be found we will not be able to get a channel marked even if we dredge a full channel at the required 4’. We need people to share this information and to contact elected officials if this makes you angry or upset. SPCMA has always tried to maintain a channel by themselves and the help of the Town of Sandy Creek - At this time State and Federal funding is desperately needed!!! Future dredging could place sand on the North and South alternating … Dredge before April 1 st and in the Fall … get as much sand out of the channel and pond as we can. Place sand on private lands to the North and South. This ultimately will restore the barrier beach that protects the pond. We will be getting a form letter out for people to send. The 4 th of July is fast approaching and we need people to know there are no markers out there except for the rocks pile on the lakeside. Boat safely and have have a great weekend. Be careful using the inlet very shallow and now unmarked by buoys Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Unless the cheater spoon is fixed it will continue to slide down your main line until it reaches the main line release. I pop my main out of the release and let it float up without reeling. Generally misses the free slide cheater. I have also had hits as main is rising in the water column Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
