  1. Same fish, they just run in summer
  2. It's a model made by Volvo. You should be able to download info on them
  3. Rockies were one of my favorite fish to catch off the dock growing up. I am sure gobies have displaced them. Don't catch them much anymore.
  4. North shore wild Canadian fish start running in August if water temps permit
  5. That is good news if that is all there is to the spill. I had a hippie representing NIPIRG show up at my door last week. He stated the Nuc plants in NY will probably be decommissioned when they come due I think in 2025? He went on to say wind power will be the future with blade-less jet engine-type of turbines.
  6. No...the Oswego shark is on the move! We don't have Remoras to clean up the scraps ......we have mudchickens.
  7. Trapper throws body parts in the Genny. The paw tumbles down river currents out into the lake. During the spring a laker keying on brown gobys scooting along the bottom encounters a brown object waving around on the bottom. I should have made detective. Someone call that English dude with bad teeth on discovery channel's "River Monsters" to figure it out. He might catch all kinds of bodies in the Genny or Niagara flows
  8. Looking at the head on that big one I would say you got a mature fish maybe 4 years old. Did you get a weight on it?
  9. A trapper would cut the feet off to facilitate easy skinning.
  10. You would have a tough time explaining that one to the LOC derby committee.
  11. Gentlemen, I am looking for a place on Sodus Bay for the last Thursday thru Saturday of July for the healing waters event. Need a dock for a 23' boat. Thanks for any leads.
  12. Summer time means fishing holes in weeds weeds and more weeds.
  13. I thought flasher and muskrat hands were not working anymore? What type of brine do you use for those?
  14. Try snaking from the engine compartment towards the front.
  15. First week of season I used to fish shiners under a bobber at the DEC launch and have at the pike and (out of season then) bass
  16. Not that it matters as you cleaned as well as the cramped space allows but there has to be connecting plumbing between the two compartments otherwise how would water in the front compartment ever leave? Bilge pumps sit a couple inches above the bottom of the boat so you would always some water in the forward compartment if there was no connection. My Bayliner has a central drain tube coming from the front compartment, exiting directly below the factory installed engine compartment bilge mount. With the gas tank and water reservoir tank in the center, perhaps you are encountering a "T" in the plumping that is routed around those tanks. Someone who has refurbished a Bayliner may be able to shed some light to the issue. You also have weep holes thru the stringers that can get clogged. They drain near the transom into the engine compartment.
  17. The more experience I gain the more respect I have for the dangers boating can present. I try to pick up every piece of 30 lb mono I cut because twice they have jammed my bilge impellers. Check before you leave the dock as suggested. I have updated both fore and aft bilges and added a jabsco water pump hooked to a switch that allows me to clear the bilge dry if needed.
  18. Use a vacuum to see what comes out. Part of periodic maintenance. The other day I sucked a bottle cap from the previous boat owner (that was 11 years ago). Stuff blows around down there. There should be a connecting tube to answer your question
  19. Running it across your nail burns your ass? Strange connection you got going there LOL!
  20. Nothing that a dremmel tool and a few swipes with a stone-bit can't take care of.
  21. At those depths they are probably steelhead or shaker sized kings. If you want to see what they are you would put out some spoons with orange. A couple riggers maybe a 4 and 5 color leadcore off some boards. Dipsys out about 40-50'
  22. My years of pier fishing in the eighties I would witness similar 4 hour feeding activity gaps. Nobody would be catching anything then all of a sudden everyone was hooking up for 30 minutes then quiet again. I don't know if it is a metabolism thing or if fish got acclimated to hatchery feeding schedules. Just checked and Altmar feeds their fish by hand dispersal every 6-8 hours. Recollection of feeding Windows on Ontario trolling would be first light, 8:30/10:30, 12:00/2:00, 4:00/6:00, last light.
