Capt Vince Pierleoni

NEW PRICE--$33,900 OBO    Come get this turn key rig. Brand new tires, bearings and brakes.  Enjoy the economy and range that only 4 stroke outboards can offer.

The coordinators of the 3, two day Pro Am events have conferred and they wish for the long standing history of the Lake Ontario Challenge Cup to continue. Some exciting improvements are in the works, primarily for 2019 but the Cup will again be up for grabs for the Pro division of the 3 events. The 3 events represent West(Niagara County), East Central(Wayne County), and East(Oswego County)basins.  Regardless of how many teams enter the pot, it is hotly contested. 

Teams who wish to play can enter at the mandatory meeting Thursday night before Niagara Pro Am, and like in recent years, the scores will be kept and Cup awarded by the Sodus(Wayne County) Committee.  Good luck to all.  

Great post. Some of the greatest memories of each season are made at the Pro Ams--and definitely some of the best lessons learned as well. Lifetime friendships are forged, and Professionals get to hone their craft for upcoming charter trips.

Some of todays top Pro anglers started as Ams or observers.

this rig has been uncovered for a showing later this afternoon. If it does not sell today it will be  available for showings for seriously interested parties at this time. It can be seen in the Olcott/Newfane/Lockport area.

Huge crop of 2 yr olds out there. There will be many that mature early due to accelerated growth, probably due to the record hatch of young alewives the last 2 yrs. Its all good.

Also as a nice bonus this rig comes with a full tank of 200 gallons of NON-ethanol pure gas. 

Couple questions I was asked recently. Yes, a 1/2 ton pick up is enough to tow this rig, I did so for 2 years. Yes, fishing solo out of this is doable as it has excellent sight lines and a modern autopilot.  

NEW PRICE-- $37,000 OBO

Extremely misleading figures as well. License purchasing is made very difficult at many destinations. If the license is purchased over the phone or online there is no way to determine where that anglers destination is.

We asked for destination and targeted species to be added to non resident license app info but it was met with opposition. 

Why WOULD you want more info about the wants and desires of income generating tourist anglers? We are very blessed with World class angling opportunities in NYS, but common sense coming out of Albany is in short supply.

This rig also offers updated 2015 Sea Star hydraulic steering and 3 THREE updated bilge pumps.

This package can be seen in Newfane NY, north of Lockport, south of Olcott.

Bump

We are living in the hey day of Lake Ontario Salmon fishing, don't let another season pass you by.

If you enjoy Saltwater fishing, this model was actually designed for guys to run to the canyons on a working mans budget.

I'm getting a taste of what boat brokers go through. Constant interest.

INCREDIBLE speed control. Used bags once a season. Turn key. 

NEW PRICE--$100

I was not happy with the answer I was given, and I hope to bring this up with the Region 8 manager in the near future.

 

I run my business on the weekend, which limits the days I have available to run charters. This is the reason why I run so many doubles on the weekends. Over time I've realized to do this I have had to operate charters on a dock to dock time frame. My hours of operation are 6am-2pm and 4pm-8pm. I have 2 hours in between charters to clean the boat, re-tie rods, grab lunch, and shoot the bull with the guys out that morning while I formulate a game plan for the afternoon. Therefore, cleaning fish on the lake is a necessity given the way I run my business. Also, cleaning fish on land attracts bees, which I'm a wuss when they are present, and requires you to burn fuel to bring the carcass back out to the legal dumping grounds. The BEST reason for not cleaning fish on land is to keep friends! We aren't the hero every day. You have good days and bad days. If clients walk off the fleet's boats with coolers in hand no one ever knows what boat was top dog each day. This helps the fleet stay friendly and doesn't hurt people's business who had a bad day.

 

I just wanted an answer from someone so I'm doing the right thing. I was more or less harassed by an inexperienced officer looking to write a ticket that day. How do I know this? After he had to void my ticket he went over to the gas dock at Shumway and wrote a guy a ticket for the expired registration on his boat. Then he proceeded to write that guys lady friend (who happened to be in a string bikini) a ticket for indecent exposure. #truestory

 

I don't fish out of the Port of Rochester (especially the West side), but if I did I can guarantee you I'd be cleaning fish at the dock! It would 100% get someone extra charters.

I agree with the above, all valid points. We almost lost this privilege several years back when there were sweeping rule changes proposed because of some abuses regarding short Northern Pike on the St Lawrence. I was one who went before our legislature to present our case and thankfully they agreed and it was retained. 

It comes down to convenience for the tourist angler, first and foremost. In our case in Niagara county, being able to fillet on the water vs waiting in line at a public cleaning table can mean HOURS of time saved on the highway back to PA or OH. If our guests get caught on the 90 in Buffalo rush hour traffic, it may be just frustrating enough to make them think twice about coming into NY. Yes, fishing is great, but as soon as they leave OH and PA sections of I-90 NY greets them with tolls and even higher gas taxes than they have at home. Not all of our harbors have excellent cleaning stations with grinders, and those that do are not conducive to busy charter operators. We have crews ready and excited to go out at a certain time and if we are caught behind less skilled fish cleaners or a long line of super successful rec anglers we will be unable to stay on schedule. It works both ways too, the rec guys at these tables don't have to wait on the charters to clean 4 or 5 tourist anglers catch ahead of them either. We are glad they are there(cleaning stations/grinders) for the rec guys with smaller vessels to enjoy but not every harbor has them, and many harbors want the remains taken elsewhere--again, extremely inconvenient especially for a family who just arrived after lunch for an afternoon trip--little jill doesn't have to enjoy her first ride out to Lake Ontario with a bucket of remains with yellow jackets crawling all over it. 

It is a very important part of the convenience factor for the tourism aspect of our fishery, not only for the tourists but for the service providers. It also helps keep harmony in harbor areas as there is less temptation to dump remains in someones dumpster or the side of the road.    

 Penn Manual long boom downrigger with swivel base. NEW PRICE-$100     Pick up in Lockport/Newfane/Olcott area, or I can meet in NF or Rochester.

Back on the market due to financing failure. This boat is TEN times what you think it is. Fish with the big boys in big boy water--with small boat overhead. I don't want to have to list elsewhere. Sea trials for qualified buyers available March and April. Thank you.

Cpt Vince, I recall Fred saying that you helped with the set up of the boat. We've owned her quite a few years now. It's been good to us. 

It was good for Fred too. Well made aluminum boat with a hard top as well. Glad its still going strong.

Details coming soon about freezer sites on the Canadian side

Awesome Mark. See you at KOTL in St Catherines if not before.

In process of getting freezers at Oak Orchard and Bald Eagle Marina.  I am also willing to pick up Plastic bags/heads In  and around Wayne/Monroe/Orleans/Niagara/Genesee/Livingston & Ontario counties in my weekly travels if that helps fisherman collect & stock pile a few samples.  THANKS

Good deal Jerry.

The DEC will be placing freezers at sites in Western Lake Ontario ports by April 1st. Olcott, State launch in Wilson, and the Fort Niagara launch will get these freezers. If you harvest Coho, they would like the heads placed in plastic bags and placed in the freezers. Info needed with the head(zip locks are easy to write on w/ a sharpie) is whether the Coho had a clipped adipose fin(small fin, on top of fish--directly in front of tail) or not. Additional info appreciated is length of fish(DEC uses max length of tail with lobes compressed), and date of catch. 

Purpose of study is to determine which (fingerlings or yearlings) do better as stocked fish, and the ratio of "wild"(naturally reproduced) to stocked Coho in the fishery.

By the letter of the law taking money or compensation in any way would require a Captains license. This guy will get snapped up so we don't want him getting in hot water for a couple bucks.

There are a couple Capts down west that I know of that would go out on your vessel and set you straight for hire available around their schedules. PM if interested.

What were the hot baits?

Sent from my GT-P5210 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
 

It was all about size of baits yesterday. Medium sized baits drew bites by DW,  Live Target, Rapala, and Bay rat. It was half and half between spoons on the Cannon riggers and plugs on the boards. Colors were flourescent greens/chart, orange, gold, and goby pattern.
