Muddy creek has 2 sizes of boards. Small and Large. It is not clear to me if they are heavy wood or some artificial material which would be light. If they are lightweight, they will lay high in the water where they really should be deep in the water thereby creating more resistance. In order to make them pull harder, you should put like a pound or 2 of lead on the outer side board. This will make them run deeper and pull harder. The best solution would be a change to either Otter boats with single or double keels, or Amish boards which also pull very hard. As an alternative you can make your own boards. If you do that,use cedar and do not paint the wood because it would seal it, while you want the wood to soak up the water in order to lay deeper in the water

I do not think that the fish actively go offshore. When the wind changes, it moves the body of water that these fish are in to another place. Like being in a car. You don't move inside the car, but the car moves you. Eastern and northern winds move these water bodies to different places than what the prevailing western winds do. Hence the temperature changes that often happen close to shore. But that mostly happens fairly close to shore. When you go far enough away from shore, These influences are much less important and the situation remains fairly constant and as such is much more predictable. Brown trout like to stay closer to their source river or creek and they will active swim back to where they feel "at home" As to how far you should go out, just go and usually when you see the thermocline come higher and stay constant you will start seeing baitfish and the salmon will be there. That could be at 400 feet or 600 feet. its mostly a quessing game with some pointers to help you along. If all else fails, follow the charter boats and the captains will do the guessing for you.

One very important thing happened. A wave height /water temperature buoy about half a mile out of Oswego. While it always was a guessing game about wave height and wave period, Now there is on the spot real time info. So now, we can decide at home before we load up and go only to find out that the weather man was wrong about wave height.. This additional info source is great View the latest observations near Atlantic Potential Tropical Cyclone Four and East Pacific Hurricane Carlotta.

Mayers Marina owns a series of properties along the road and during the summer Bill used to direct the trailer owners to available spaces along the road. He just does not have the energy he once had and he no longer does that, but there usually are spaces open .

Thank you very much for your well thought out contribution to this thread. It shows how positive your thinking is and how deeply intelligent you obviously are. As for Allison and Bill, yes they are good people. I have been a friend of Bill for 25 years

Go shorter if you can. If you can get a hold of a some 7 foot rods you will be better of, specially on a kayak. Also you should think of jigging in a kayak instead of trolling. It is very easy to jig off a kayak and just as effective as trolling in many cases. A friend of mine caught a 150 pound goliath grouper in a kayak. He had to call s on his cell phone to come over and get that monster out of the water. VIDEO-2024-01-15-21-00-07(1).mp4

I think that the Irondequoit launch is in a class all by itself.

One of the causes (apart from a-holes) is the location of the entrance kiosk. It is right where the actual launches are situated, so every boat coming out of the entrance is right in the path of the launching boats. If the kiosk would have been at the very beginning of the entrance road with EZ-pass like photographic access and the entrance road would open onto the parking lot, people would drive through into the parking lot, prepare their boat for launch and then get in line for the launches, it would go a lot faster with less conflict. It still would not be idiot proof ,but less of a mess. On another note. How is the city launch at the Genesee River? Is it less of a mess or is it more of the same?

You will have to ask yourself a few questions such as was my boat out in the rain,or why is the water in the bow while usually the heaviest part of the boat is near the engine and water would normally travel that way. Or Where is my bilge pump, in the front or the rear? Do I have one or two bilge pumps. If the water only gathered in the front end ,does that mean that the boat is made so that water in the front cannot stream to the back? Do you test your bilge pump before you go on your way? Most boats have bilge pumps with float switches that kick in when the water level in the boat rises. Why did your float switch not turn the pump on? There may well be a loose rivet or seam that allows water in when the boat bounces in the waves. It happens a lot ,but those leaks only leak when the boat bounces around a bit. By the way, filling your boat with water while on the trailer can overload your trailer and tires to the point where you might damage your trailer

I sometimes use it during the week. It has a pay machine that accepts credit cards. The launch is fine and parking is free. If you want to go salmon fishing , you should be prepared to run a few miles to deep water. During the weekend it’s over crowded. If you launch a few miles farther west, you will be in deep water a lot faster. I live ten minutes away from Irondequoit launch, but I prefer to drive to Sandy Creek. Braddocks Bay has shallow water issues.

This sounds weird, but it works. Lysol advanced power clinging gel, yes that stuff that is used for cleaning toillets. Squirt some on there spread it out with a cloth , let it do its thing and 10 minutes later you can wipe it off together with the tie marks

They were 2 very lucky campers, but I wonder if they had done a proper pre-check before launching.

One way to slow them down is by instead of flicking the swiitch. You can just loosen the wheel a bit and that way you can decide what speed to go with. Just don't forget to tighten them up when you reach your chosen depth.
