    The bird with the orange throat is a blackburnian warbler, not sure why it was trying to cross LO

    Regarding Owasco being clean, you should look at the DEC fishing guide and you'll see Owasco has high concentration of mercury and it has advisories to limit the amount of fish eaten for certain species. I've been told by a DEC official the mercury came from the fallout of the coal burning plants in the west.

    did anyone notice the lack of bait fish this year. Either we missed it or is it way down, Years past we'd see plenty but not much this year

    Looking for a secure place to leave my boat in the Oswego area from May to August. I trailer now and would like to store in the Oswego area to save on wear. With the equipment in the boat this would need to be secure and preferable in a locked area.

    Thanks again guys, I agree with Fat Trout and HBC, looking at a new Yamaha 150HP 4 stroke. - Lake O is an ocean and having a reliable motor that will last years seems like a smart choice. Appreciate all the input and help.

    Thanks for all the help, I am leaning towards getting a new motor; I had this motor at a Marina for 8 weeks and they couldn't figure it out. I wasn't to impressed with the Marina and the way they handled the whole event. I won't say who they are but wouldn't recommend going there unless its to change plugs and lower gear oil. I talked to Hank at L&M and he won't touch these motors and I appreciate him being honest on this. Wish the other Marina was as trustworthy.

    Appreciate the advise, the motor is still at the Marina and can't figure it out. The last attempt is to replace a capacitor which may be done tomorrow. Does anyone know of a repair shop that has a scan tool? I contacted Hank at L&M and he can't help on this one.

    Thanks to all for responding. Any chance you would have Hank's phone #?

    Bought a 1999 Lund this year and went against all the advise posted here not to purchase without confirming the motor working. ; Learned that lesson.. This boat has a 1999 Evinrude 225HP Ficht, Was repaired at a Marina and took it out on Saturday. Ran good out but when we came in the engine had no power after 1/4 throttle. Sort of skips after 1/4 throttle. The mechanic is young and most likely not an expert on this engine. A few questions: 1. is there an experienced mechanic out there that is familiar with this engine that can work on it preferably in the Syracuse area? 2. Knowing this is an older engine I have a few choices - is it worth fixing and having confidence it will operate without issue or should I consider looking at getting a different engine. I know these engines have a history. Perhaps a mechanic that is familiar with these may be the best option.

    Looking for a qualified surveyor for a boat I'm looking at, The boat is in the Utica area, I'm in Syracuse area, so someone close to this location would be best. Any help would be appreciated.

  16. Dances with Fish
    I tried calling the phone # listed and get a recording from a lady from a clinic. Is the number posted correct/

    you'll find Jack at the SS Marina a stand up guy, he has non ethanol gas. He can also help you with locating a cabin if you give him a call. Just leave a few fish for the rest of us.
  18. Dances with Fish
    Looking for one of these, any thoughts on where to get one
  19. Dances with Fish
    Very interested, let me know the best way to take a look
  20. Dances with Fish
    Dave, you crack me up
  21. Dances with Fish
    Please thank your son for his service to our country.
  22. Dances with Fish
    Thanks for the video Dave, how do they get away with going back and forth on the boat holding the rod with slack and the fish stays hooked? Seems like I don't have the same luck;

    Ron, tried to send a PM, can you confirm you received it?
  24. Dances with Fish
    Ron, could you send me pictures, may have a win/win situation for you. I have a 19' aluminum tracker with 120HP Johnson, center console, ete ( we can review details) that I'd be willing to trade with you and still give you most of what your asking. This will provide you the funds and allow you to keep fishing. Any interest in this or would you prefer to sell outright?
  25. Dances with Fish
    Thank you for the insight. I guess there are two 18 mile creeks. The one we would thinking of going is an Erie Trib, near Hamburg. I have had enough elbow to elbow fishing being on the SR this Sept-Oct. The trib looks nice and long with a catch and release zone. Have steelhead and browns made it up to the catch and release zone yet? Either way we will have new scenery.
