  1. You and me and quite a few more people on this site.
  2. The probable best chance for Atlantics to survive in our tribs is by creating a passage way into the higher regions of the Oswego river. It goes all the way to Seneca and Cayuga lake , but because of al sorts of barriers ,created a long time ago ago for reasons that are no longer valid, this large and often deep river and creek system is effectively rendered useless as a potential natural reproduction opportunity. The Canal is a nice historical sight and it is great for the boats, specially because the maintenance and lock expenses are paid for with throughway authority money and not the users of the canal. But the entire region from Oswego all the way down to the Finger Lakes could gain a lot if Atlantic Salmon could enter and leave that area through open or properly channeled access possibilities. This would probably give the entire atlantic salmon project a better chance to succeed
  3. The DEC announced that the parking lot on route 19 will be closed from September 8th until September 16th
  4. Maybe your old merc had a prostate problem
  5. The one thing that most people tend to forget is the screen for the water inlet to the pump. If the motor is left in the water for longer periods of time, they tend to get clogged with zebra mussel and it takes a while for the impeller to pump up barely enough water. This also causes overheating and faster deterioration of the impeller. so make sure that your lower unit water inlet is clean.

  7. Sorry guys, you are right. I'll buy them to up for my mistake.
  8. Those are casting rods not trolling rods
  9. We fished out of Oswego on Sunday. It was a very different lake. Where only a few days ago the thermocline was at over a hundred feet down, now it was at 30 to 50 feet down . At over 400 feet the thermocline started a waving pattern of between 70 and a hundred feet down. We did see see some bait in 400 feet at around 50 to 80 down. Not a good day! We ended up with one steelie and 3 salmon and they were in the 5 to 10 pound range.
  10. If you go into I-Boats and ask this question, there is a very good chance that a licensed tohatsu mechanic will answer your questions. The guy lives in Buffalo.
  11. There is another legal way. You will have to go to to a NY DMV office and explain your situation. They will guide you on your next steps. In the end you will have to send all your paperwork to the Albany DMV office, where it will be decided if you made every reasonable effort to contact the previous owner ,like sending two registered letters that are returned because they could not be delivered. You may have to be a bit creative in your answers to the questionnaire, but usually you end up with a title and the boat will yours in your name. good luck.
  12. Agreed, but travel is not storage because of all the movement and centrifugal forces in play when driving.
  13. Yes, new in Costco and BJs for less than a hundred dollars
  14. The "correct side" is a tricky thing seeing that vertical is the ideal side
  15. That would work if the the boat is pre1984 from 1984 on a title is needed. You may be able to create a bill of sale from a state that does not require registration.
  16. You were in one of those incredible unsinkable Boston Whalers. That little fact is probably what kept you alive.
  17. I'll take the spoons and pick them up tonight or tomorrow.. You've got a pm
  18. Very deliberately working on the woodwork of the Starcraft Islander that I am restoring. Restoring a boat is almost as good as fishing and there are fewer weather problems.
  19. Sorry. it comes without the transducer
  20. OA 7522171 is a 1989 3 cylinder 80 horse or a 75xd (same thing). Check it out on page four of this attached pdf Mercury63_92(2).pdf
  21. I bought it in march, but then I decided to go with a 1 kilo watt 588 . The 628 sells for $ 695 new. this one is $550
  22. By the looks of it, it is an 582 L (ed) monitor. It is a one kilo watt unit without frills. Probably over 10 years old. They are very good units that with the right transducer will allow you to see your down rigger cable. They are very user friendly
  23. I usually run them at 17 feet and away from the spoons. If you run them closer, you will have to lower your rigger a bit slower, because the flasher fly may get tangled in the rigger cable.
