Went down to the bay to check on a perch run,a few browns caught off the pier on cleos.The bay has alot of blue green algea along the shore line.Hope it doesn't kill the ducks

dry gas makes it worse as i've been told,i had a partial tank i treated with stabil last fall,the 260 started and ran good this year.If you got real water in your tank it should show up my siphoning the bottom of the tank in a clear container.I thought mine was water but it turned out a stuck float and dirty carb from ethonal damage to lines.water seperator works but filters can only sevice so much water and then they dont work

ive used the sunbrella cleaner and also the water proof treatment.It was advised by John Manns sodus bay canvas .Works well just had to soak the seems more for waterproffing

there in the lake.Look in the 35 to 45 ft.area near dropoffs .,I marked some last week close to the thermocline west of pultneyville . In Lake erie thats where everyone is fishing now 70 ft . down nesr the thermocline. so why not lake ontario.

I bought this many years ago. At the time they were hot on the west coast for kings.I caught a few on them but had better luck on j plugs. I saw a post the other day about slow is better ,might give them another try.

Is there any news on smallmouth fishing in Lake Ontario, particularly off Sodus?

caught some off the points west of hughes marina monday,they were mostly right on 25 ft.

tmight pay a dime more but save about heres a big extra few no about ,you got alot better gas mileage.I bet mine is aroud 20 to 25 % better using the 91 octane at fasttrack.

lots of fish still around.The temperature should be much better and the fish will be in shallower water.I bet the salmon fishing in the lake.will be good well into october this year.Lots of jumbo perch around also.,had some from monday and they were great.

Called today and got the word on a slow start on perch.If we get the weather predicted the perch should be starting to come in the bay.Last year i heard they had a great run.Alot of big perch and no limit.

went out for bass tonight,no luck on bass put I did mark alot of big fish off the drop off just out of port 25 ft. of water..I guess they know the rains coming tomorrow

bump

Joe, That fish sure looks like a coho.We caught enough of them back in the ninetties.I ended up 1 for two hits just west of you before you went east.Im going to try some of my old flashers and flys had good luck late last year along with running a silver horde chasing the fly.

new price 8500.00 b?O

reminds me of the old days when my son's use to go out salmon fishing.Beware of the bass fishing tournaments they steal your crew.

perch style,

Nightcrawlers? They work well with the biggies in the bays and by the piers and jettys, like at Sodus Pt. Niiice! And no gobies?? Great, if not or very few. This is what many of the smallie guys want and have sort of given up on in the last few seasons or so....

The trick with worms or crabs is to never let them get close to the bottom.Sometimes ill catch a goby if there are boulders or large rocks that cause the bottom to come closer to the bait.

There is a freiend of mine who has caught alot of bass on a fly rod in closer ,so bait is not the only solution.

good fishing

twenty to twentyfive feet tonight and they were all lunkers.Caught them on nightcrawlers,This was the best night in awhile.was another boat out there with me ,not sure how they did..

Hi,

Im looking for a dock on sodus bay for the rest of the season. The boat is a 26 ft. searay. Ill need at least three feet of water for the boat.West side of bay preferably.

Thanks,

hi,

i own a simular motor,1988 120 evinrude,it would stall also

water seperator helped also

found that the gas lines were plugged gasohol also thermostats were in need of repair, motor now runs great ,they last forever it seems if you winterize them regularly

nice boat to bad ive already have three boats

Fished wednsday with some sucess.Caught a few in 20 ft.then i moved out to thirty and thirty five feet I found a large school surounded by bait schools and action was great.Had to leave shortly after I found the spot.I went back later and the bait had spread out alot and the schools of bass had disapaited .Caught some nice size in close 20 ft. just before dark.

Look for the birds and youll find the bait and bass.

I used nightcrawlers about two feet up from a drop sinker.

Hi,

I fished lately anywhere from 15 to forty foot.Look for baitschools and youll find alot of smallies.It takes awhile to locate them but the effort pays off. Nightcrawlers fished 2 ft off the bottom.I also use a camera when I find the schools.

Realy suprised more people arnt fishing for them.

Hi, I went out friday for awhile ,fished the afternoon. Most of the fish were at the 130-160 mark down about 100. I had five on ,boated zip.Well it was a shake down trip checking my new depth raider.It worked ok under 100 ft. but shut off when it went deeper. I was realy suprised when it said i was only going 1.5 ,it seemed more like 2.5 at the surface. I was trolling east.All the hits were at 105-110.Magnum slamers ,black widow and blue dolphin. No hits on the spin doctors or flys.T o make it more difficult my paper graph died,broken belt. It was a sitex and that belt was orginal after all these years.Had to rely on my lowrance flasher for depth and picture.

Well hope to out later today if the lake lays down.

I ended out off boulder and took a bouncey ride back to port.

One good thing was trolled 4 hours and used maybe 2 gallons on the kicker and maybe four on the 120.

Good luck sunday,looks like a good day to fish.
