Pull it towards you about 4 strips and let the towline go. The dead stopped board will usually shed the branch. 

Usually being the key word there.  

FYI. Keep a pair of leather gloves on board in case you snag something on one of the Otters and you have to hand over hand it back in. Happened to us last week after snagging a stick/branch.   

I heard West Point in Braddocks is closed just tomorrow cause of paving the parking lot.

Any issue with water level at the State launch at Sea Breeze? 

Any info is appreciated! 

Check out Monroe Co launches in this forum. It's operated and maintained by Town of Irondequoit now

As of Saturday morning, I-Bay was still open. It has floating docks. You will need boots to get to the docks.

Not surprised at all. The rate of rise in the past two weeks has been amazing

Okuma Classic GLT CP-CL-862M or Okuma Blue Diamond 

Speed limits on I-bay and Sodus are coming soon. My bet is within a week. Fair Haven also.       

Tunas reel repair service recommends some mono backing to cushion the pressure of the wire on the spool. 30 lb works good they say. 

Good advice from Gator.  Get a free multi voltmeter from Harbor Freight and eliminate any guess work about battery or source voltage. 

Not familiar with Jacks lube, but if you can find it this stuff is recommended for "O" rings

Great shakedown day (except for the rod/reel donation).    

No more unexpected surprises?  

Nice work. Some good healthy fish. 

Sorry to hear of the rod/reel splash. I got a 30 DS I'll let you have real cheap if you need it.   

Yamalube FC-W rated. Do a search on The Hull Truth forum. Good discussion on marine oils

Whatever was chasing that laker forcing it to make that journey, that's the fish I want.  

My guess, 39 days

I read the Seaway officially opened Tuesday. The channel looks a little dicey at the entrance. Can they navigate through that?

What's a fiberglass inner liner?

Maybe referring to a self draining cockpit with non-skid,  which most if not all Pursuits have. 

Good advice about Jamestown Distributors. They can tell you what you've got on there now, and how to prep it. It looks as though you're ready for a recoat to me after 8 years. 

If you determine you've gone an ablative paint on now,  I recommend Pettit Hydrocoat. Jamestown has it and will recommend it as well.

How much for the shirt?    

Check your PM

     Bring lotsa $$

Bought some last year from Troubles and like em. Not for everyday use but if you want to peg your cheater to a certain depth they work great. Use to use a rubber band but these are easier.
