Happy springtime!! Anyone going to Olcott / Wilson area for the spring derby, been fishing there for the past 3 years, nice area, nice time. We are fishing with two boats this year, dreamcatcher and J's smile, run on channel 69 usually. Give us a call we share info (if we have any) lol. Good fishing and keep it fun.

Dedicating a moment on the water to all the sportsmen and women who can no longer be with us.

My wife and I are going to enter the derby together for the first time. I am from Brockport and I want to try fishing out of Wilson and I don't mind the extra drive. We wont be there until about 10:30AM. Where is the boat ramp located and will there still be parking spots available that late in the morning?

Thought I'd share my homemade Planer Board set-up for anyone interested.

The mast is made out of a galvanized fence post I got from Home Depot. I got the pulleys there too. I made the reels out of empty electric wire spools with 6" bolts for handles. The post fit exactly into the seat pedestal mount in the bow of my 16' Starcraft Fisherman when I had it. The whole thing cost me less than $40. Have fun...

You did a great job. It looks like the one I made this winter. I havn't tried mine out yet. I have a question. How do you keep the spools tight or stopped so that you don't have more line going out that you don't want?
