It never should have stayed this long. My last purchase from them was my Xi5 for a ridiculous low price. Unfortunately during transport, it was stolen off their truck at the Watertown Store. Rob made it right and got me another but it took forever. It was also during the plague, so everything was in short supply. Prior to West Marine, we had Boat U.S. on Petten St and Rob was the manager, there. Much better location and always busy. WM bought them out and moved the employees up to E Ridge Rd. Made no sense!

This place was never geared toward the pleasure boater, due to its location. There were a few there, but most wanted to be Braddocks and East, for the restaurants, bars, and beaches. That cut is a serious PITA for most boats, and they can't just start cutting and clearing all the over hanging trees on the shorelines. It would really suck to have to wait to put your gear up, till after you get through. The Parkway Bridge was tough because a lot of us ran outriggers back in the day. Now it just lìmits to the size of your boat. Throw in a good stiff N NE wind and that narrow exit to the lake can be a jaw breaker! There's a reason it closed and even a bigger reason it stayed closed. It's too bad because it's really a great location for the weekend warrio...If the price is right!

30 years ago that cut was bad. Cant imagine how bad it is now!!

You will never see the numbers like you did in the ESLO days. For one, ESLO began as only 4 days, so those days were really busy.. Also, the gear needed was really basic. Todays gear has priced a lot of guys out of this type of fishing. Dick Schleyer the OG of ESLO promoted the heck out of it where LOC dont do a darn thing. That being said, I saw more boats off Rochester this year than for quite a while. -

Dont really see anything out of the ordinary. Obviously a bit old tech but easy to update. One odd thing Ive noticed.. low amperage fuses say 1-2 amp blade type seem to blow easier than the glass tubes. -
You are better off with a new post. Your comment was on the 2nd page after a lot of fluff. You're counting on someone reading all the comments before seeing yours. -
Be sure to run your braids out high and wide and wire deep. Deepest closest to the boat. I run all my divers with at least 10ft difference in depth, just in case they do cross. Current plays a big role.

How are you dealing with the rising price of gas?

Its not as high as its been years past, regardless of the reason. I didnt fish any less then or any place different, and still trailered to the Islands for camping twice a year.
