  1. my auto switch is separate form my bilge pump and mounted next to the bilge pump some bilge pumps are all in one . take a garden house and fill it up so the bilge pump is under water should kick on if you have one .
  2. Stone,,, your boat probably has an auto bilge pump switch most boats do . in the case of the boat that went down some thing major failed and there is no bilge pump that can keep up with the amount of water that was coming into their boat . i had this happen to me and buddy this year , i was fishing cayuga on a day that just kept pouring like mad about half way threw the day i notice the yellow light on the dash was on . i knew what it was and look back to see if the bilge was pumping out water , found it wasn't had to take some mechanic wire and fish out the mud bees then all ways good . the cuddy is the worst place you can be when a boat is taken on water , you end up trap inside the cuddy like the guy did . i kept my life jackets with in arm reach from the seats and a buoy ring also .

    Cayuga 9/22

    been slower up north for me as well .have to work for the fish now . can't beat the weather we have been having tho , just hate the morning fog , don't burn off here at the house till 9 - 10 o clock
  4. how about making the swim platform lower or the kicker bracket it self lower
  5. i am going ask my fishing partner to fish it . i would like to know if there is going to a bad weather day so i can say to him plan on saturday or sunday ... thanks Mike
  6. and you want to fish the cayuga derby, man i wont have a chance you guys are on fire, nice job you selling that yellow uv fly yet ?
  7. Geneva stop by to take look at the construction going on at the chamber of commerce . i notice a guy working on something by the launch . had to go over and stick my nose in and see what he was doing . well the rumor i heard is now true . have to pay to launch your boat there . the city residents can get a free pass . all others pay 1 dollar M, T, W , and T, F 2 dollar and weekends is 7 dollar . i guess the building they just did is being rip up to make a boat museum , oh boy yay !
  8. might need some dramamine for that fishing trip . the cold and snow here in New York is not that bad after all ...
  9. sad one didn't make it the other two got lucky . there was a small craft advisory with up 20 knots wind . who goes out in a kayak in water like that .
  10. i am no pro but here is my take i think in a couple weeks it will be down to combat trolling off the mouth of the rivers . ( not my cup of tea rather fish the finger lakes )the cold rain and weather this week will pull the salmon in fast now . there will be off shore fishing for steel heads and two year old salmon . this time off year the lake get rough fast with the weather changes. most guys start pulling their boats mid September.
  11. nice, when i went by Saturday they were working on the road . i seen boats coming in the inlet and jumping back up on plane . was wondering if the idle speed been lifted .. thanks Hank .
  12. the north launch is open the south one is closed . the north launch road in is a little rough in a short spot .( due to the high water) i can get my saber down the road with no problem..
  13. here is the only other one of it i have , bow 9 lbs
  14. was per fishing derby today ran into this guy
  15. i am planning on being in god willing and we don't get a hurricane , long weather reports looking good .
  16. Port Bay fished 6:00 to 1:00. set up in 70 foot found cold water down 50 foot was around 49 degs . ran riggers and dipsy .rigger down 50 to 70 dipsy out 120 to 220 ft . fished out to 200 and back in ,went 5 for 6 all kings and had no majors .was spoons and flasher fly bite for us to day was bumpy with 3 plus footers but by 10 ish was down to a foot . going to be a little to rough for me the rest of the weekend so looks like i am done on Ontario , been a great season and hope it's the same next year . i am now looking forward to the Cayuga lake derby the 9 and 10th next weekend . good luck to those that keep fishing the big lake and stay safe ..
  17. labor day here and the kids going back to school soon and cooler weather the salmon fishing is nearing the end . another summer gone where the time go ..on the up side the finger lake slivers still going on the perch schooling up and deer season here soon ...see ya on the water some place
  18. i have the same boards they are easy to set up and get fishing but nothing like using a planner board mast and boards . i have had them go under the water when a fish hits too . i made my tx -22 board with the weight in the back so the nose of the board rides high in the water and try to make the line in the release will release when the fish hits so the board floats till it slides down to the fish witch should be on the surface . i have not used them on copper someone else will have chime in . good luck on those big fish...
