That happens to us a lot there Les, but I have seen a lot worse in other bodies of water so I guess I am used to it. Unfortunately, a lot of boaters are just not aware of what they are doing. Both of those boating scenarios you mentioned did happen to us the last time we were out. Just hope this is not a trend.

Launched at Canandaigua again today and it seems to be getting lower. Drove the boat less than 50' a little left (east) of center and hit a rock. Dinged the prop a little bit. In another helpful note. When launching a boat at the ramp and your buddy is walking down the dock holding the rope, make sure he doesn't walk off the end of the dock. - No not wasn't me.

My boat is a 16.5' alumacraft. When we retrieved it yesterday, I could not winch the boat all the way up to the front roller because the water was so low and the angle so steep that the bow dipped below the roller. I had to leave about a foot distance between the roller and the point of the bow, drive the car up slowly and then winch it all the way up. I have done this before with this boat at the Penn Yann launch and it works because the boat is light. If I was by myself and had an 18' or larger boat, I would not use this ramp. The state ramp on the other branch would be a much better choice.

I was just down there today. I launched my boat and my friends got in it at the dock. After I parked and walked to the boat I was shocked at how much the water level had dropped. Anytime you have to climb down a couple of feet to get in the boat, you better make alternate plans. We decided to put the boat back on the trailer and drove to Canandaigua. It might be safe, but I wasn't going to try it.

It went pretty good for me and Gater. Wind came up around 10:00 but everyone stuck it out. Winning weight was only 4 lbs. 8 oz. Hope to get more people in it next April I know I will be there. Thank You Seager Marine.

Good news. Just called earlier this week and asked about it. I will be there.

Just came back from Deans cove and the dead bass are still floating around. How stupid are these guys?

Took my son in law to Canandaigua today looking for some panfish. His first trip fishing so I didn't expect much. The perch and sunfish are widely scattered in 13-18' and they are not big. We got off the lake early because of all the pleasure crafts and the wind. Looks like we will have to wait until late Sept.

We were out of Deans Cove yesterday and had no problems with fleas. Two weeks ago, they were bad and last week a little better. There were a lot of weed mats the further north we went that you had to keep an eye out for.

Ditto

Not quite that easy on Erie lately. Fished Seneca shoals Friday and only managed 10 bass on the small side. A little later in the summer the deep water shoals and rock piles will load up. The two areas of Lake Ontario that still have bass are the fort Niagara drift out of the Niagara and also from around port bay east. Last year I discovered the upper Niagara. Liked it. A lot of bass and even a bonus 41" Muskie.

Nice. I might make my first trip there earlier than I originally thought.

Nice going. You made a much better lake choice than me yesterday. I was in Erie, big mistake.

Didn't you get the memo, There are no perch in Seneca. Nice job!

Going to be a beautiful day weather wise. We are looking forward to it.

Might still be a little too early but if it stays warm for the entire week and the water temp hits 42 deg, you might get lucky.
