For what it's worth, in late April I caught a 21.5lb king off IBay and as far as I can remember that's the biggest salmon I've ever caught in April. I'm talking 45 yrs of fishing Lake O. I also don't fish to the west and I'm sure my results would be different in that case. Not past Sandy towards the Oak. Some mid teens off Rochester and that includes the days when an occasional 30lb + would show up in the summer.
I believe there's only one marine on the creek now and usually full. I would think it would draw boaters from Braddock Bay who are feed up with the lake channel.
It'd me nice to see it open again. I docked there from mid 80's to mid 90's and never had a problem with the depth or low hanging branches but it's been 30 years.
As a vet I just ordered a pass. One question, at an unattended boat launch like Irondequoit bay what do you leave on your dash to prove you qualify for a free launch? I guess you leave the pass, right?l Any thoughts? Thanks!
I'm going to order one for my 18ft Alumacraft. Just waiting to get it out of storage and do the measurements for the height. I'm 6'3" so probable the taller. Anyone have some insight?
I'm just speculating about braid as I haven't used it in years bought I did just buy some new braid for my bass equipment and found a difference in the number of strains which I would think would make a difference with the fleas. Eight strain is smoother and might help with the fleas. A little more expensive but if it helps with fleas well worth it I think.
Thinking about investing in this suspension system to smooth out the ride on my 18ft Alumacraft. Just wondering if anybody has one these or knowledge of them. Thanks!
Another thing to keep in mind is the 2 modes of autopilot, legacy and advanced autopilot. They are different. For trolling I use the legacy mode. With the advanced mode the motor tries to correct for cross wind and current which can slow the boat way down. The legacy mode will just keep going towards a given heading.
