    Is there a logical reason why the east end of Lake Ontario seems to be loaded with these fleas while out of Sandy/Hamlin I still have not seen any?

    A few days ago the handheld remote control of my Garmin Reactor 40 Auto pilot went dead .It was registered at Garmin so I called them and the customer service person explained to me that they need a a receipt with date of purchase, which of course I had lost. Remembering that I had bought it from the GPS store I called them and within 5 minutes they emailed me the receipt . I called Garmin back and because I am electronically challenged they helped me taking a picture of the receipt and transferring it to them. Even though the warranty time had expired by almost 2 months they offered to replace the unit free of cost and paid for the mailing costs. I walked away feeling that between the GPS store and Garmin, I was very lucky to have chosen them because of their excellent customer care. Sometimes paying an extra 10 dollars to a reputable supplier, instead of picking the cheapest possible, pays off big time.

    We fished from around eleven until four thirty with the east north east wind making its presence felt. Over fifty feet the temperature was 44 degrees at 45 feet with a surface temp of about sixty. As we went farther out the cold water remained until we were over 200 feet and there the temperature gradually started going up until 52. All of this with the probe parked at 45 feet down. We got one 16 pound salmon at 45 feet over 160 which made my brother in law very happy and exhausted. With the water being so cold almost to the surface they fight a lot harder and longer. Hopefully this eastern wind will go away again so the fishing will get better.

    On the 104 just a bit east of Wolcot there is a boat repair shop. It is called Samson Marine

    When I saw it I had a fleeting thought that some drunks pushed it in there with someone inside and they probably thought that it was the funniest thing ever.

    You cannot really blame them, because there is hardly anything to do for them along the lake. They are here because it is part of the border area, but it is probably the most boring area to work in.

    They probably found a less obvious place to sleep.

    One can only hope

    Is the spiny flea mostly a problem on the east side? I have yet to see a single flea when going out of Sandy

    This morning (6/29) north of Sandy over 210 feet a line appeared on my screen going from 40 foot below the surface, very gradually going down to 50 foot. The line was very visible on the screen and seemingly went on and on forever. Bait balls were above the line and hooks under it. It is my poorly educated opinion that this break line is probably the thermocline taking shape. I am not sure though because on the surface just about where the line was there was a very definite break line as well. I got five nice salmon out of there.

    We went out around 8 in the morning and fished from 50 foot to 250. In the area of 80 to 130 feet there was bait and hooks,but no takers. We went out to 250 with the same results. All in all only one rod moved (meat) but it was just a shake and it did not even pop the dipsy diver. We got off the water by noon. It was great weather for a family pontoon boat ride ,but for fishing not so much.

    So now the ladies not only have to paint the deck, they also might make you some very fresh salmon for dinner

    Where is it?

    This morning was great boating weather, but it sucked for fishing. There were hooks and bait around 50 foot down over a hundred feet of water, but no takers. I continued out 280 feet and then back in to 250. At 50 t0 80 down over 250 there was a blank screen and the water temperature was around 47 to 49 between 40 and 90 feet down. Then I turned west because it seemed that there were some break lines on the surface that way. Sure enough the farther west the warmer the water became all the way up to 54 degrees at 70 foot down but no thermocline to speak of. Then within 15 minutes I caught 3 steelies all barely legal so back in the water they went. I was off the water by 1pm. All in all a nice morning. Probably the last one in a while with the weather prophets telling us that it will rain and storm for a while.

    I have to monstrous golden retrievers to take care of. That makes it hard for me to get on the water before 8 in the AM. Don't bother with 72. The only reasons I still have one of those radio things on my boat is the weather and the MMSI. And if I am in an evil mood to spread fake news so people will move away from me.

    I'll probably be out there too. It looks like it will be the last fishable day before a few gales will come through to throw what little balance there is into pure upheaval. I'll do something that I have not done for years. I'll be listening on channel 72

    This reaction makes me wave a few red flags.The guy obviously is not used to speaking or writing English, it smells of AI assisted scamming.

    How did you guys deal with the small craft warning?
  20. rolmops
    You can discuss the pros and cons of fire arms on this site, but the sale and advertisement is illegal

    It reminds me of the demise of Sears. Their products are high quality and highly overpriced, although lately their prices did come down. When Rob was still there, his knowledge, help and friendly presence made me pay their prices without complaining, but when he retired the place lost way more than just an employee

    Why don't you take a metal saw and cut your 8 inch in 2 pieces. That way, you will have a four inch to mount and a spare in case of need

    No I did not miss the reason for your post. I even gave it a little heart. I was merely commiserating about food going to waste and pointing out that tournament organizers do not take this into account. Your post shows to me that we are on the same wavelength where it comes to wasting good food. And Gambler, I remember that pickup truck being loaded. It was in Wilson during the tournament where almost everybody boxed out before 10 in the morning. I remembere wondering if the guy was going to use it as fertilizer or whether he was a sushi restaurant owner. He must have had four or five hundred pounds of fish in that pickup. That truck must have stunk ever after. That was after the winter that was no winter and the fishing that spring was absolutely fabulous.

    That is always the bad part of these tournaments. Hundreds of fish are caught and brought to the scales but after the weigh in all these fish which during non tournament fishing often would be released are now just being thrown out. For me it is a reason not to participate in tournaments anymore. Besides I never do very well in these tournaments which is another reason I stopped with tournaments. The organizers of these tournaments should look in into donating the catch much like deer meat is donated.

    Easy now. Don't give them away before you catch them.
