  1. I'm throwing a line out for some help. I have the green light to take the boat out this weekend and the money for gas and everything. I'm gonna fish seneca and would like to fish somewhere in the southern half. I usually launch from geneva and fish the north end because thats closest. All I ever do there is lake trout so i wanted to try another area just because I can. I was planning on launching at severn but I was trying to look it up online and saw somewhare that it only has parking for 12 cars is this true? that I can find there are not any other launches close on that side of the lake. I will likely have my 12 year old nephew with me and would hate for him to see me start swearing because theres no parking. does that lot usually fill up fast or am I okay. I guess with what limited knowledge I have of the area the backup would be to go to lodi point its just a longer drive for me because I'm coming from the west but its only about 10 mins longer as I am starting from the north end. is it worth the drive to lodi or is severn fine and if severne is fine what is the launch fee so I bring enough cash. Thank you in advance for any help. I'll take any free fishing advice if you wanna help a 12 year old get his first LL or bow (something that jumps). but my biggest concern is boat launches in unfamiliar areas. I have had issues in the past though my boat is small enough that I can lauch on just about anything.

  2. to go with what hooked up said its interesting I have a small boat and so spend more time on the fingers than lake O I have had many incidents on lake O espicially with a few charters. I have a small boat so everyone in a big boat thinks i'll just move but its made of aluminum and if it sinks I can replace it for less than it would cost them to fix the damage to theirs. plus when you get pushed between a boat and the pier i'll take the boat anyday. That aside on the finger lakes I have had almost no problems. even fishing in crowds where people get close because of no choice nobody purposly cuts each other off and overall are a lot more curteous. Maybe its a country thing were just lower stress out here.

  3. I fish out of a 14' starcraft spring browns summer walleye and fall kings are all doable but check that wave forecast often and day of. If you can afford it I recommend lcs. For your dipseys that way you can let them out and set another line at the same time. Also look to the fingerlakes withthat boat a lot more fishable days for a small boat and can build that urge a bit

  4. Get P line I use it for trolling and I use it for leaders for ice fishing pike I have more confidence in my leaders than my main line 15 on the small rods 20 on the bigger stuff

  5. So I gave it one more shot at Watkins had the starter issues fixed and after some effort the old girl fired up and I went out unfortunately I was alone so only had 2 rods fished for 4 hours and went 2 for 3 small LL all on sticks 2 on orange all at the south end not the day I wanted but the boat runs and I got my first open water fish of this season so not an all bad day I was surprised by the number of boats

  7. Im taking the boat out for the first time this year. I decided im going to make a bigger effort to learn Seneca as its the closest lake to mess it worth it to launch on the north end now or should I just drive right to Watkins or is there another launch somewhere south of Sampson. I will post how I do regardless but a little friendly advice never hurts

  8. first one is a snake head back when they were leagel a knew a couple friends that had them as pets. the second one its hard to tell but the head doesnt look quite right wish the fish was out of the water for the pic but hopefully it is a darter i'd hate to see another invasive come in though i'd love to go to there native range and fish for them

  9. tough call with that picture but i'm glad she ate it two I will say it sounds like the canadian news likes to sensationalize and use scare tactics just like our media Can survive freezing my a$$ and 1.8m whats that like 7 ft even the giant snakehead doesnt get that big but they are a danger that part they got right

  10. I like sliders but i never have more than one person in the boat with me plus its a small boat so space is premium plus you get the extra lures without the extra lines to tangle in works great in the finger lakes

  11. as a hypothetical if there was no exclusion zone and you could fish as close as say 50 ft would that change anybodys view? i'd love to have some artifical structure to concentrate fish as for the rest i would have to do some real research to comment on it. in my experience (i'm a scientist by trade) most of the evidence put forth in arguments for this type of thing are greatly exaggerated to support one side or the other. and yes this would be better than a coal plant though i dont think that thats even on the table
