BP Swing

The only drawback for slipping is youre stuck at that port. Have trailer, will travel.

Try pulling a boat out at 1 pm on a nice weekend day. By the time guys take 10 minutes to walk to their car, and the long line of pleasure boats and jet skis waiting to get it, and only 1 ramp with boats waiting in line in the water to get out, youre looking at an hour wait or so. Sandy is a joke but there not many options around here unless your boats already in the water.

Running out of options. Guess I'll just make the trek to oak orchard. Even though its crowed there too on weekends at least its big enough to handle several boats at once like we should have around here. Ok so even if they do dredge the channel to 12 feet at Braddocks what about the 3 foot depth at the marina? Its still going to be an issue I think unless they get the water way up.

There are muskies in Black lake since it connects with the Oswagotchie River. Usually giant ones though. I dont know of too many mid or small size ones that I have heard only slobs. I dont know if there is enough population to target them though. Seems like every 3-5 years someone hauls out a 40 lber by accident. There was a big one I think 3 yrs ago I remember.

How is the launch at the Greece marina this year? Last year the water was so low in the channel going out I said I would avoid it if I could but the rest of the launches are so crowded on weekends which is the worse option? Why there is not a BIG state of the art launch in Monroe County around Greece/Hilton is beyond me. Irondequoit and Sandy Cr. are both a joke. So how is the channel going out of Braddocks this yr?

I was filling up my small trailer tires today (60 psi max) and it said something about not exceeding 32 psi when seating beads???? WTH is that?

Tim, Thanks. Finally an answer to my question about why the difference. Thanks to all for getting me straight. I will increase the pressure to 50 PSI. BP

Yes I get that but that doesnt answer my question about why a truck/car tires are different. They dont go to the max. How was I supposed to know its different?

The one thing that confuses me is if I should be putting it at its max (50 psi) then why is my vehicle different? My Pathfinder calls for 26 PSI on all 4 wheels. ????????? but no doubt the max on the truck tires is much more than that.

So I would have to drive down there to get it? You don't happen to have any mailable spools do you?

They havent made that line in like 2-3 yrs now so it must be an old spool.

Dam...I better get with the program. I always thought that was just a maximum amount and thought if it was at the max, they would wear out too fast in the middle of the tire.

If Im going to use 30 then I may as well use the Blood run which is flea resistant. I figured there was no way around the flouro leader and never really had any issues with the back to back uni knot except its still one more link to break. Why they discontinued the flea flicker is beyond me.Thanks.

OK thanks. So most of you guys are running at or near the max? Shoot Ive always run them well below like 35 (and just had to replace a set that wore on the edges) I'll be darn......

Reluctantly I have to get rid of my flea ficker 20 lb line on my downrigger rods (getting too old). Since its no longer made the only thing similar is blood run 30 lb but I think 30 is too heavy. I dont feel like changing it in mid summer either so Id like to know what others are using on their downrigger rods as a good general all around Trout/salmon line. Thanks BP I guess I could use the 30 with a flouro leader but hate having the extra connection knot.

Was wondering what other 18 foot aluminum boat owners use for tire inflation settings? The tire and trailer both say 50 psi max but I hate to put anything at max. Its a ez loader trailer. Ive been using 35psi but now Im wondering if its too low since even the trailer says 50.???

No Im in a boat using it. Light line never scared me, been doing it since the 70s. Never had any issues as long as you are not horsing the fish and have a light rod. I had Seneca in mind for this all the while. I know most use 4 but when I go to 4 it feels like anchor rope compared to 2. Do whatever works for you.

I use 2 lb nano and a flouro leader on Seneca to cast a country mile.

Never had any issues and i use a flouro leader Sent from my GT-P5113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It explodes off the spool like no other. Distance line but expensive. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
