I sense the same fustration that I am having with fishing Canandaigua Lake. In six outings this year I have only boated 2 fish. I mark so few fish I question whether the sonar is working. I have fished this lake over 30 years and have never seen it this bad. I have signed up for the DEC diary program so I can convey to them how poor the fishing is. Members here might consider the same!

What about the clamp on reels? Do you have two that you want to sell? Price?

Just wanted to warn my fellow fisherman to beware of doing business with Ricks Marine on Rt.64 in Bristol and Power Marine Service in Canandaigua. I left my 2 motors, a 1996 Evinrude 225 and a 1996 Evinrude 9.9hp last December for service. The 225 had internal problems and the 9.9 would stall after running for an hour. The quote (verbal) I got to fix the big motor was 3K to $3500by Ricks Marine and $4500 max by Power Marine. After nearly 4 months of waiting I am finally told all is fixed and the bottom line is $7100 total. What I am getting for this sum is two pistons, one rod, one crank bearing and carb kits on the 225 and assorted seals and gaskets on the 9.9. I feel this is excessive and way beyond what was quoted but their response is tough...take it or leave it. I have even been threatened with a mechanics lien and Ricks Marine has denied ever giving a quote that low. His comment has been "prove it". Not once during the repair did anyone contact me about possible cost overruns. Anyone out there have any experience with this type of repair? Is it way out of line? They are holding the boat until payment and I am missing all the spring fishing.
