FYI apparently Emperor Cuomo is at it again...
rolmops replied to Sk8man's topic in LOUnited For Change
I am an independent so please do not brand me as a liberal lefty, but when I hear your candidate Mark promise a 30% tax cut , it is clear to me that he believes the voters are stupid and ready to accept any hogwash that he can think of. He does this because he knows that he will loose and he will not have to live up to what he says. -

If your boat is under 20 foot length you must by law have flotation foam, so if you remove it, you must replace it. One cubic foot of foam has 62 pounds of upward force, but one cubic foot of saturated foam weighs 62 pounds. It is good to replace saturated foam. Removing it makes the boat a lot lighter and gives you a chance to inspect the hull for possible leaks. As for pouring in the replacement foam. It is ideally done in a 70 degree Fahrenheit environment for perfect expansion of the foam . when it is colder there is less expansion. Just go to I-boats.com and search "pouring foam". Not only the manufacturers do what you just described. Everybody does it that way. It prevents the foam from "boiling over". The foam ideally glues itself to the floor and there should not be any room for water in there, no matter how much water you get on the floor. A boat with the foam removed or replaced by noodles or other nonsense will no longer be covered by insurance no matter how much you pay to insure it.

Another 20% CUT in Chinook Stocking for 2019
rolmops replied to Tall Tails's topic in Open Lake Discussion
The DEC originally introduced the salmon to the lake in order to control the exploding alewife population. The salmon fishing was not a big part of the original plan. It has become more important today because of the financial impact. But alewive control is still the chief target of the DEC. We should all expect the DEC to keep making making decisions that mostly have to do with Alewive control , not the salmon fishery. If more salmon are needed, more salmon will be stocked -

Another 20% CUT in Chinook Stocking for 2019
rolmops replied to Tall Tails's topic in Open Lake Discussion
The lakers still have to recuperate from 2 years of intensive fishing by charters because of the lack of kings. That is a slow process. Any charter boat captain (specially those on the east en) who is anti laker should remember that they probably saved his business a few years ago. So please do not curse the lakers. Also going with the wild succes of this year's salmon fisheries it seems to me that the DEC fish people are quite spot on and the "stock more salmon crowd" not so much. To me , the DEC has the science to back up their decisions while the anti DEC arguments are mostly based on opinion and short range business interest. All of you anti DEC Science folks should take a trip to Gloucester and have a good look at what politically and business motivated decisions have done to the fisheries. -

Wellesley Island NY area- Rudest boaters in the USA
rolmops replied to BP Swing's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I did the course together with my son who at the time was 12 years old and used to be my constant fishing companion. ( girls changed that). I did another course online that is available through west marine. This one is way more thorough then the classroom course which was presided over by a volunteer non professional. Although both courses taught me a lot, I do not believe that they improve boater's behavior. They will only teach those who would try to behave the proper way to begin with. For the rest they would be an inconvenient delay in getting on the water, where their other character traits would take over anyway. The best way to teach these rules is by imposing fines comparable to traffic tickets and /or jail time for outright dangerous acts and DWI . Just ask some Canadian boaters how much improper behavior on the water can cost. -

No, I am not turning this on you. What I am saying is that if it is peaceful and quiet fishing that you desire, you do your best to stay away from potential a$$hole concentrations. -

So you went fishing in front of a state park that has a ton of recreational boaters on what is possibly the last nice weekend of the year. You were right about complaining, but it was not wise to pick that spot on a weekend. There is what should be and there is reality. For a relaxing fishing trip you should take reality into account and act accordingly. -
What fishfinders does everyone run ?

This year was great everywhere. Don't get used to it. But you may want to consider additional parameter. How far do you have to run on the water to reach the fishing grounds! On that one, Oswego out of Wrights Landing is only 5 to 10 minutes. Another pro for Oswego is the very large area inside the Break Walls. You can actually fish protected from the waves and be succesful inside the break wall area.

There is another reason why I do not like the goods that are shipped from China. It is the postage price. The Chinese businessman buys a stamp to pay for the shipping and the cost of it is cheaper than mailing local in town in the USA. That is because the "Last Mile " cost ( the inside the USA shipping) is carried by the USPS while they never receive any compensation for this service. This is because of antiquated postal legislation on international mail. What it means is that the USPS is in fact subsidizing mail order imports from China. This is unfair competition.

They may be cheaper, but the local guy usually has the better service Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

How bad is mexico today

I would not worry about the waves as much as I would worry about the traditional labor day weekend combat fishing in the general Salmon river staging areas.- 1 reply

sounds to me that the bilge pump grounds out when it gets wet or hot and creates a false ground sucking all the juice away from the system. Disconnect the bilge from the system and see if that solves your problem

I am located in Brighton (Rochester) ,no they do not have mounts,I bought them a few months ago with the intention to use them for walleye fishing ,but I never got around to it. They came as you see them in the picture. I presume that they were rebuilt, but before I got them.I do have one old mount that I can throw into the deal.
