Two questions,if you register on line and print/sign the release form can you get there late and still be in? A friend asked me who wants to go but can’t get there until 8 or so. Also,there was some discussion earlier on allowing fish under 30” to be entered for a point or two. How did that end up? I don’t care either way I just want to be clear.

I have another goal;enter a fish in a tournament. It’s gotten ridiculous how many times I’ve been blanked. Everything I catch is 28” or a bass. Every Otisco tournament. Couple Chautauqua,couple Waneta,Syracuse,Fulton chain. Everything is short or a bass. Not looking to win, just get on the board. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I posted too quick. Is there a way to mount it without butchering my boat or should I just look for another one? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Can’t believe I was in a bait shop that long and didn’t buy anything Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
while shopping for a new winch strap I came across a nice two speed winch. Seemed like just what this broke down old coot needed so I bought it. So my old one is up for grabs,no charge. Works fine,needs a strap. Located in Palmyra. Text me at 315 879 8787. Don’t call,I can’t hear it ring. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Dang son,that’s a bunch of rubber. Not sure about selling that in Savannah. I haven’t been there since Kings drag strip closed. If that was mine I would break it up into lots of 5 or 6 and post in the classified section and plan on shipping it. Just my two cents. Good luck and tight lines.

One Musky Lure to Rule Them All...

only one,huh? 4” red eye then. Copper. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Today I read that chapter 70 and the DEC were going to put some stocked tigers in pens instead of directly into the lakes. As I understand it this would give the fish a chance to recover from the stress of transport and hopefully more would survive. Hat’s off to those involved and I hope it works. I witnessed the tiger stocking at Conesus once;disoriented fish were all over the launch and nearby shoreline. Nice job 70 and good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

There are northerns that size around. There could be a lot more if the minimum size was raised and the creel limit reduced. The way pike get abused is a real shame. But if we restricted their harvest I guess they would “eat all the good fish “[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Makes sense. Maybe I’ll start turning the motor over every couple weeks in the winter. Sure I will [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Agreed. The impellers I replace look like new. But the first failure messed up a vacation so I play it safe now. And like sk8man only the best oil and gas for me. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

13 years is pretty good impeller life! Mine failed after the first year. The boat was still under warranty so I took it to the dealership where they nailed me $300 for it because impellers aren’t covered. I was kind of shocked to see the manual said to replace it yearly. Changing it every other year has worked for me though. I can do it in 20 minutes now. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have a 2008 merc 150. Mine is a efi,not the opti max. I bought it new. The first year it acted up and they replaced all the coils under warranty. I change the plugs and filters every year and the impeller every other. It has never failed or been in the shop for anything. (I probably just jinxed it) My 18 foot boat can just hit 50mph. I have no numbers but it seems to use a lot of fuel. I use a gallon of 2 stroke oil a year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have a lowrance and a garmin on my boat. Both are 10 years old,outdated but they work. I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a few years now but when I research it gets too complicated and makes my head ache. There’s too much to choose from so I just get along knowing how deep it is and where the shoals are. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
