Big brother only watches you if he can outsource it to a for profit company.Boat launches are not profitable to watch.

Yes they are. I found them about a year ago. They are never in the same place,but when the lake is flat it is easy to locate them. The only problem is that it very hard to work fish that is all over with only 3 rods. I sometimes have 2 sliders per rod to cover all depths. the result is often a cluster slider. Cornelis

Got in the water around 6 in the am and headed for Tom's hunting grounds just west of the river and between 90 and 160 fow. Around 130 there were some very nice break lines and temperature differences of between 39 and 44 with current changes that went from very strong to almost no current surface temp went up and down between 50 and 39. The fish were down from 10 to 30,then from 60 to 75 and a few around 90. I ended up with one laker from 90 feet down on a white on white spin doctor and fly,3 cohos and one king from high up on orange crush and a frog and one larger king in 60 foot on another magnum frog. Got of the water at 3pm. The currents took care of the different speeds.

The problem is the same with all cable shift engines. The oil in the cable housing dries up and shifting becomes harder and harder.Before replacing, which is easy and not very expensive, you can loosen up both cables and pour thin oil (sewing machine oil) into the housing and allow the cables to loosen up. you should really have done that with every winterizing service

Ha, I'll go out and catch that thing.Next week you'll find it on E- bay

Ouch! Not a good start. Let's hope that this trip marks the end of all bad luck for you this season How did Anthony get out of having to reel those 820 feet back in?? As for the buoy. This Wednesday I saw the Seth Green dropping some gill nets near Olcot. They may have done the same around here. It sure sounds like you ended up getting caught in a gill net. Maybe a call to the DEC can clarify the situation and with a bit of luck get you some of your gear back. (The Seth Green is stationed in Cape Vincent) May all your troubles be behind you. Cornelis

There is an easy and very good solution. Take it to hank! It's only 40 minutes from I-Bay on the 104

Do you have to pay to park there? If so,they should at least have a security patrol every so often.

Good news. The Buoy 30 miles north of Rochester went online! If you go to weather forecast and click on current wind map you'll see her. I love that current wind map. It may be available to professionals only, but it is a very good reason to become professional

It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather. It was great to be with good friends and the fishing was lousy. We went 3 for five. The first one a laker, the second one, a 12 pound king, came in from about 130 down caught on a lure dragged along by a 12 inch paddle and the third ,a 16 pound king, hit a dipsey with a spin doctor and fly designed by doctor Lou . The hits we lost were probably from the sliders. We cruised with a down speed between 2 and 2.5 first north west in 90 feet but later in large circles between 120 and 200. Before we launched I passed by Vince's rig and saw him checking what looked like cut bait in a cooler and I asked myself whether there is a new secret weapon in the upcoming tournaments, or whether I witnessed the beginning of a cod fishing trip,targetting lakers instead of cod. Our trip was cut short by a down pour which thoroughly soaked us. Cornelis.

Pick up your speed to about 3mph and put out flashers and flies

Thanks for the report. It will help me tomorrow (I hope). Cornelis.

That is just like my Islander. In order to keep the 2 stroke mix tank out of the way I made a bracket on the stern above the kicker.

Are you trying to stay away from sharp hooks?

Remember, you get what you pay for. That is why I only have Interstate both starter and deep cycle with a Perko switch system. Lady Ontario is unpredictable and saving money on safety issues like being able to start is not money wisely saved.

If you start listening to the experts you will need to put out another 50 rods ,because that is how many different expert opinions you will get

Is it a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke

I know Silvertip and he knows his stuff. Take a good look at his picture and you will see that he uses ONLY the first battery for 12 volts.

To have the daughter of a New Foundland cod fisherman onboard is just about the best thing any fisherman could wish for. I suspect that she can teach you a trick or two

Too late now,but these engines are very easy to fix. Compared to all the other mostly bad advice that was posted here,it was the best idea to take it to a mechanic. Your problem was that there is no cooling water coming to the engine block.
