    That is sweet. In that case , the work will probably get underway this fall when the water level will go down. In my dreams , I can see a channel wide enough for 2 boats to pass each other that is dug all the way to the parking lot where the launches can be situated. Maybe even a fence around the parking lot and a few cameras to help monitor and possibly identify hoodlums trying to break into vehicles.. If caught, those hoodlums should be sentenced to brushing the launches with a toothbrush. Ah, one can only dream.

    Given the liability issues , that is what may happen, but most people just want to launch or fish and the risk factor that is caused by having to walk six feet through 4 inch deep water really is not very different from walking over wet wood after it has rained.

    I just double checked some things. As it turns out, the Sandy Creek Launch is owned and operated by the DEC and it is on Park land. My apologies for barking up the wrong tree.

    Maybe the town of Hamlin chooses to spend its money on things that every resident needs more than investing in a ramp that in spite of it being less than great is still functional and maybe you should consider buying a pair of boots and concentrate on having a nice day instead of concentrate on things that are really not so important.

    Congrats to you guys for getting furry bundles of joy. I went through it twice in the past year and a half with Golden retriever pups. They are veritable bundles of joy and... well you know.. The second one I got did know how to ask to go out very early, he learned from his big sister. But he kept on having accidents or so I thought. It turned out that one of his kidneys was not connected to the bladder and because of that, he just was leaking all the time. I informed the breeder, who gave me my money back and let me keep the pup. $6000 and several visits to Cornell later everything was fixed and now I have two very sweet golden retrievers ripping my house apart and preventing me from going fishing early, because of having to walk these lovable monsters.

    I got on the water around nine and set up at 35 foot after having seen good marks at the bump. I circled it a few times and ended up with 3 cookie cutter browns on an 8 color leadcore. On the way farther out at 50 feet I got a skippie and then I picked up and went to 350. There I got 2 nice steelies at 40 foot down going back and circling, an other skippie and then a decent king, although he popped off just before netting him which is just as well as I was not planning on keeping him . All in all a nice day . Thanks to Whaler I went out there and Coyote was out there too. What I could not figure out is that the parking lot must have had a dozen trailers, but there were no more than three or four boats that I could see. Did everybody go even farther than 350 feet?

    What you just mentioned implies that this invasive flea has become part of the food pyramid within the lake and their presence may cause the food supply to increase, unless of course they have replaced a native species. So what eats them?

    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.

    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.
  24. rolmops
    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.
