If you have a good gps map on your rig ,it will show the the pipe and where it splits up.

It is straight in front of the treatment plant. It is a great place to catch brown trout...

Gambler is on the intake end not the outgoing.

The treatment is very basic indeed. Lime was pumped in with the sewage.

Just to make things a bit clearer.

The sewer  from Henrietta  is a mixture of runoff that comes from the catch basins on the roads (not all of them) , ground water and raw sewer. It normally is treated  at the Frank Van Lare treatment plant and then released. But the amount of runoff from all those catch basins just completely overwhelmed the sewer pipe lines. The level became so high that it started overflowing into the overflow system . That means that the overflow is actually quite diluted because of all the rainwater that is mixed in at this point. Still not good, but not as bad as it sounds at first

Aw, man! Right in the middle of my carefully laid out block! Hopefully, those very carefully prepared firebreaks to control it! Who could have seen that coming?

that should have a pm. Now it is in the public domain and any fire on your property will be seen as susupicious.

how much?

Thanks again for your input information. I forgot to mention that I did install a can of Dry Gas along with the Stabil in both the boat fuel tank and my Chevy Tahoe sitting next to it in the garage. I think all is good.

Can't wait till Spring.

Dry gas usually is based on alcohol.  It does what ethanol does. You should use drygas in 2 cases.

First ,when you know that you have water in your tank and do not want it to freeze. That way you prevent small drops of ice to clog up your injectors/carburetors.

Second, when you know there is water in the tank, dump the drygas in there so the water will get absorbed into the gasoline just before you use your vehicle

If you had to use drygas because of one of these reasons , you should run your tank as low as you can without getting stuck then replace your or empty out your water/fuel separator and start with fresh clean fuel

 I once tilted my boat/trailer as steep as possible so all the water and gunk in the tank made its way to the fuel pickup. and pumped all this gunk out through a clear plastic hose into a large glass bottle I kept on pumping until only gasoline came out of the hose.

It is entirely up to individual towns. If towns want bow only areas, a proposition could be voted on. There have been baited hunts at night in Amherst done by local police officers. Not sure if they still are conducting these shoots as remarkably a 12 gauge slug ended up going through the second story bedroom where a child was sleeping during one of the deer shoots near a neighborhood (I have no idea) 
 

You just pointed out the problem with these "controlled" hunts.  The "hunters". Since when does the fact that one is a policeman or fireman for that matter, make  one a good and responsible hunter? Or is this often a little adventure thrown to people as a moral booster?

As far as fines are concerned, yes that is laughable for some yet the same amount of money is a hardship for others.

To equalize the punishment the judges should stick these people in jail for a week or so.

That would be a far more equal punishment

Sorry to change this topic , I am looking to have my carpet replaced on my 2050 Crestliner Tournament. Does anyone know  a place from Oswego to Henderson that does this work? Thanks guys.

You should start your own thread 

Seafoam does not remove water. It prevents it from forming in the tank. If you want to remove water there is another product. I think it is called drygas. I never used so I have no opinion about it.

There is a lot of misinformation and generalization on the gas front. First of all, do you have a big tank that sits in your boat? By all means go ethanol free because it is is in these bigger tanks that the ethanol will attract water and it will just slowly gather until it causes a problem.. Do you use 6 or 5 gallon removable tanks? You can use ethanol gas as long as you empty out your tanks at the end of the season. (stick it in your car tank and yes, you can dump 2 stroke gas in your car too. Just do it in small portions like a gallon  or two at a time with each tank. It does not hurt the engine and it solves the disposal problem.

Is your boat pre 2000? You must change out all your fuel hoses because the hoses used before 2000  will be eaten by the ethanol and start leaking. The same goes for fiberglas fuel tanks. The ethanol will melt the glue that was used to glue them together.

Trailered boats usually have less of a problem compared to boats that lay in a slip. That is because the humidity by the slipped boats is much higher than the humidity next to your house or garag

 Personally, I never use stabil because there are better products on the market. I prefer a product called  "seafoam" because it not only treats the gas,it also cleans the carburetors.

There is a pair Penn 600 manual riggers  for sale on the site Those are probably the best you can get for your money

Rolmops, do you use this year round?

I only fish for perch in fall and in early spring. but yes I mostly use these whenever I go after perch. When the perch are out on the flats, the minimites work very good. When I fish in between weed beds or near steep drop offs I just try everything until I find what they like best. Another thing I catch a lot of perch on is the eyes of perch. After you catch one , you kill it, remove the eyes and stick one on a #6 or #8 hook.

You must always make sure that your bait moves around a bit, unless the school is in an open place between weedbeds. Then the perch usually hit the bait on the way down. When you get the first hit, just set the hook, but leave the line in the water and more often than not, some other perch will hit the other hooks

The answer is simple. It is a myth that there is alcohol in Stabil.

These are the ingredients in Stabil

I use minimite plastic with a maggot on the hook. They imitate small shrimp which are a perch’s favorite food. The hooks are very small.

There is no state launch at the south end of Owasco lake. As for launching in the creek, It is quite close to the Marina. Where you would normally swing left to go to the marina, you can also go straight onto the dirt road into the heron rookery nature reserve. After a bit you should be able to turn east toward the creek and launch in there. Beware though, it is swampy and quite often muddy. You do not want to get stuck in there.

That looks like a good choice, just make sure that it will work with your monitor.

When you find a school you should anchor off to the side and cast upwind with a slide bobber on your line so you so can control your depth. The wind will push your bait over the school. Another way is to drift over the school without any engine and just go back to your beginning point by circling around.  I mostly use mini-mites tipped with a maggot. It is best to cast into water that before  the school so the bait can sink to the depth you want before it reaches the school while drifting or casting. The bigger perch are always deeper than the small ones.

Perch is high up so a side  view would help, lakers are deep down so a smaller down aimed cone is needed. I once owned a hummingbird transducer that had a choice of 3 different cones and gave sideways, 45 degree and 90 degree cones. In your place I would look for something similar. The guys at Krenzer marine in Sodus Bay will be your best bet.

Perch like to feed on small shrimp living on sandy/sediment bottom near weedbeds. That is found where big creeks come into the lake.

In winter when they drop the lake level that place is not so easy to launch from

I have a set for $100 +shipping from Rochester,NY.

They are not new and do have some damage,but work just fine

I'm sorry to see all this for sale. It means that yet again someone is giving up on this hobby. I hope that there is no sad reason behind this.

I wish you good luck selling. If it does not work this way , you should  consider going to one of the many flea market tackle sales coming up. You might walk away with more than a thousand dollars that way.

I'm just wondering.

Ever since the pandemic the fishing Expo in Niagara Falls has gone. Will it be back?

Or could there be a Lotsa fleamarket in combination with the "Salmon School"?
