    Just put the guts in a bucket, and dump in your garden or the lake next time you go out...

    Good point.  In the spring I see a lot of charters dumping buckets in the Tuscarora park fish dumpster.  Guessing they clean their fish at Wilson Boatyard cleaning station?

    Remedy for Biting Flys

    I reluctantly bought a tin of shoe cleaner/waterproofing off a guy at the hamburg show.  He claimed it had eucalyptus in it and would keep the flies off.  I'll have to check next time I'm in the boat what it's called, but, it did work well.  We also had pretty good luck with the buggspray product.

    Great box guys. Parking can be tough at krull park with a boat...you just have to walk a ways. Same at the Niagara pro am. Lotsa does a great job with the event. We've fished it the past 4 years and will be back next year. I was a little surprised when I read your post. The posted rules are pretty strait forward on weigh and picnic locations.

    prepare downriggers for lake fishing

    It looks like you have a couple slide in rod holes already.  I'd mount riggers on gimble mounts so you can easily remove them at the end of the day.  You can get dual rod holders on gimble mounts too.  This way you won't have to drill any holes, just utilize whats already there.  Most electric riggers have some sort of extension plugs.  All you would need to do is unplug them and slide them out of the gimble mounts to remove.

     

    I'd opt for used electrics over new manuals for all the reasons listed in the above posts.

    Fishing Wilson this weekend

    For sure. Launching docks are a foot under water. If you are familiar with this launch....the water is over the steel beams that the ramp docks are attached to. We launched my 22.5 Crestline that last week. I stayed in boat and drive to floating docks to pick others up. Also drove back on trailer when loading. My buddy had to have boots to hook winch up. Here's a pic from 3 weeks ago. Water was over everything in the pic last week. You can launch but he careful..olcott is better option and fish were headed that way last weekend.20170504_165641.jpg
