thank you. much appreciated

I was told the docks at the river launch are under water. Can anyone confirm?

Hmm lawn chair a cooler of beer on July 4rth. I predict 2 fights and at least 4 wrecked boats. Who designed this monster of a train wreck? Same guy that put 5 round abouts on the way to launch at I BAY. At least those don't have high curbs.

I was there yesterday. The curbs are horrible and i only have a 17 foot boat. I am not sure why i paid 8 bucks to some random girl with a money bag when the dont even have the tool booth set up. the staging area is awkword at best. The launch is a test of how long can you back down a giant hill while remaining straight. Hopefully they will make it better when it is complete. Nice long docks thougg and shorter run to the lake.

Thanks. I get it but that still sucks. Figured it was like launching in march.

I was there yesterday and it was opened. When did they close it? Is there signs there? Was planning on going tomorrow.

sounds like a good plan to me. Doesn't sound like your a jerk about it. Captains have to know you have money laid out for lodging and travel. Captain already pointed out weather may be an issue. Give him a quick call and see what his thoughts are.

Plenty of lakes an hour drive away. I fish Honeoye, Conesus, Skeaneatas and Erie. Eris is a lot of fun but can be just as nasty as Lake O. have not had a lot of luck on bass in Lake O for a while, but you can find them out deeper than they are normally fished in other lakes.

Bring waders if launching. Docks were under the water yesterday. The first 10 feet at least.

IBAY 5/1 sorry about the late report. Could not fish in the lake from IBAY to shipbuilders. There were so many logs. dock parts, and garbage in the water that it was like playing dodge ball. The lake was like chocolate milk. Fished the bay for a while caught a sheapshead. There were several trees in the launch and at the end of the dock so be careful.

You think after 35 years of doing this It would be second nature. Last year during the shakedown was that nasty storm that went from 0 to holy crap in 10 minutes. we had ice and snow all over the boat. I am counting this one as a win. Having fish for dinner tonight as well.

IBAY 4/2 Got out about 7:30. Saw 8 or 9 boats out today. Water temp was 39 everywhere. Went 3-3 on browns. Biggest was around 6. One dock is in at the launch. We did see a pretty big tree floating half way between shipbuilders and Webster Pier. Other than forgetting the down riggers it was a good first trip. Boat ran good and was a nice day out there.

Ibay should be open. No idea if it is loaded up with perch but should be able to get out.

All good. He asked about regulations so I wanted to clarify. I have been stopped a lot for guys drinking on the boat. As long as I was good never had any isssues.

It was my boat and he was not driving. Just went along for the ride is all. I was not drinking and was fishing. This was on Seneca Lake.
