rochie66- please post some pics of your downrigger mounts if you wouldnt mind. i have the same boat and was thinking about grabbing a couple of the versatrack downrigger mounts. do you find that they are sturdy enough in the track? [ Post made via iPhone ]

If you are waiting for the guy at bemus lodge to call you back, don't hold your breath. you have to keep calling him until you can get him on the phone

couple i have stayed at- bemus point lodge- motel rooms and nice boat docks w/electric. owner said he leaves docks in through last weekend in october camp chautauqua- RV/tent sites and boat docks. not sure how long docks stay in both have websites-just google them

cool stuff old man. thanks for sharin. looks like you were in the canoe... where are you launching at? right off the causeway? I brought my kayak down there a couple years ago and launched @ otisco park, but it was about 50 yard carry to the water...real pain in the a$$.

Bucktails work well for me- i like brown/gold blade or black/orange blade Grab yourself a couple tuff shads (crankbait) and sledges (jerkbait) and you should be in good shape.

make me an offer... will consider trade for larger musky lures or other fishing equipment [ Post made via iPhone ]

Eagle FishMark 320 portable fish finder in great shape! Has suction cup transducer and will take either 8 D size batteries or smaller sized 12 volt. $100 PM me

Not sure- but I will be shopping around for one as well as I am looking to expand my horizons and do some lake trout jigging next year on the flx, so let us know what you find.

I don't do much jigging...I'm sure it would be useful tho. It is a great tool for getting a better look at structure on the bottom, however fish can be hard to spot... they show up as little dots. it is definitely a cool feature to have, especially if you spend a lot of time on the water.

Plecos- I bought the 788 HD DI combo this past spring for my 18ft tracker and it is pretty damn awesome I am mostly a pike/muskie guy, but I do some Lake O and FL trolling for trout/salmon as well during the summer. I love the unit so far... Best price I found was here- http://www.universalmania.com/_e/Marine ... _Combo.htm I ordered it from this website and had it in under a week with no probs. Highly recommend it Hey Nitro- since you haunt the same waters as I... that navionics chip makes a big difference huh? I have been debating picking it up. The preloaded XD maps are not all that great

No tigers huh? I am headed up to fulton chain labor day weekend. I have seen some big ones in there... At least you had some pike/bass action. Those lakes can be real tough, at least in my experience. never heard the jet ski rule before but i am lovin it!

Very cool!

first tiger is a beaut! they are such a cool looking fish

There are some nice pike/tigers in there but fishing can be real tough. just through the channel into 3rd lake there are some nice weed beds.... good luck and save some for me, I will be up next month.

Congrats on 3rd! Purdy fish

Nice write up man... was camped there sat/sun and only had luck trolling in the south basin. We got a couple lower 30's fish during the tourney and decided to keep trolling and skip awards ceremony (with no results). Bite was tough the whole weekend with only one other fish boated sun am. had a couple follows casting jerkbaits in north basin but no dice. Beautiful weekend though and awesome that the season has finally started!

Was out for a bit yesterday- water temp is 60-62 already. fishin was tough but got a smaller tiger bout 25 inches and a couple pig largemouths. nice day to be on the water

Nice B-day Thanks for the report... have thurs off and planning to spend the day out there. have yet to get a pike in the boat this year

That would be the "King of Waneta". Oh wait... you didn't realize that he owns the whole lake?
