White perch-white bass what ever the hell they are their a pain in the ass. Like posted above worm stealing little bastards, period!!

Cool we fished Oneida Year’s ago as a weeks vacation, we stayed at the end when your going north over the bridge on 81 it’s to your right it was a blue marina I think, it had a place to stay in the back and we had our own slips from the marina. We caught a fair amount of eyes, it was a nice stay. We ate in many different places. I don’t know why but I never fished it again. My favorite place if my memory serves me right it was a bouy 108?? It was in the bend of buoys. We caught a lot of species of fish in the lake a fun time. Thanks for posting!!

Even short eyes are better than no eyes!! Congrats to your outing!! If you don’t mind me asking what body of water were you fishing??

Awesome job guys just proves you don’t need all the bells a whistles to catch fish. Common sense goes along way when it come to going without all the gadgets that a lot of others rely on. In my opinion you couldn’t have picked better timing as the gibbous waxing moon, “the 3 days before” and the “waning gibbous” the three days after a full moon are the best times for fishing, in my world, some don’t believe in it but I’ve had enough success to say this is the days I fish and have been make our Canadian fishing trips around this theory for 30+ years and I feel we have had more way more success than when other guys booked trips that I went on. Either way congrats to your day you have beaten the odds in many different ways!! PAP!!

I believe those are most pain in ars fish called a white bass. They foul you up so often I usually move to get away from those damn things. Some say the bigger ones are good eating, we caught a few big ones and we filleted them and they are eatable, coming from a guy that’s not a fish eater!!

If it were a outboard it would of been sitting in my driveway long ago!! For sure!!

Congrats!! Gotta love laker land!! 

What’s the main motor in this boat?? I’m looking to get away from the fiberglass tank I have. Thanks for any info!! PAP. If hrs are available would like to know that also!!

No you won’t have to cut the floor under those box type seats is were the screws to lift the panels out, I forgot to say the guy before me installed pedestal type seats where those other type seats were. Sorry I didn’t think about that!!

It was main duck specifically north east side of the island.

 

The north shore drops off a lot faster than the south and west shores. They very gradually work there way to the deep, by the time your in 60’+feet your to far away from the structure of the island where the north shore drops in quicker and I believe it’s a holding place for the fish during the migration to and fro the Bay of Quinte {spelling} it’s a jog from Henderson that’s the run I used to make. Once your at the green can by Galloo isl. it’s still a jog, but it’s definitely worth the run, that was before I hit 50+ in age. I don’t know if I would trust myself anymore. All though we used to make a 25 mile run out of Port Clinton to the Canadian border every day for a week the last few times I fished Erie. The great times we had out there was worth the punishment your body took on getting there, the fish were bigger nice 24” to 26” fish in closer to much trash fish and 17 1/2. 18 3/4 you had to weed through them. I don’t know the laws anymore of crossing the border, from what I hear, I’ll just stay on this side of the line. Those that fish those waters are blessed by the walleye gods!! For sure.

Main Duck over the U.S./Can. Border. Used to fish that area for eyes before the 911 incident and things got a lot tougher crossing the border.

I had a crest liner years ago I needed to remove the two seat pedestals and remove the floor piece and the unit was right there, six screws out and there it was out!! I got one from crest liner and it looked like the same universal ones you get at West Marine, mine I had to calibrate which is nothing more than bending the float rod. Mine was a 1750 with a 30 gal tank.

How did the Ducks treat ya?? Thanks for any info. PAP.

Absolutely great job!! The great outdoors is where common sense and a lot of other meaningful things in life are learned. Not in front of the idiots box killing your opponent as he or she gets up time after time, not how it goes in the real world!! Reel em get the fish off the hook and in the water so “It doesn’t DIE is stressed” in the fishing world. Nice going dad. Looking forward to the end of softball season so my daughters can hit the water also!!

How bout a pic of the eyeball??

That or perch, 2nd weekend in march I caught an 8lbs. and 6lbs. eye on Sat. Both spit 8" perch in the livewell. 

Yeeooww those were some hungry ladies!! I find it amazing what these fish can inhale when they are aggressive, which adds truth to the Muskie hunter stories, claiming they catch these pain in the A$$ walleye on there 8” gear they are pulling or casting!!

Yea I'd like to see the Duck Isl. Report!!

Why did you disconnect the brakes?? What did you use for a tow rig, what is expected to be used a tow rig!! 1/2 or 3/4 ton??

Nice going bud!! Glad to see ya made it out on the big pond!! Always great to hear a good day from guys you know 

Absolutely I couldn’t agree more, congrats to your outing . Lots going on at home, I didn’t even take the cover off, I feel as if I’ll be ok on account of the cold water, shooting for June with post like yours are just what I need keep up the great job 

Awesome,Awesome, thanks for the video!! Got a new hawk and chomping at the bit to wet a line. !!!

Congrats guys What a accomplishment!! Wish many more times with tight lines to ya!!

The Rochester carbs are simple to rebuild and the merc carb is just a tad different just to screw with ya, I found this out on the 3.0L and the accelerator pump took a dump, the hardest part was getting the spring in the accelerator valve to be in the right position when the top of the carb is installed, sounds to me the low idle metering body is fould up, that’s what was the ailment with mine also, the corn juice just turned everything the $hit. After we rebuilt the whole carb she purrs like a kitten.

I have some of the larger ones I use like little flashers, work really nice. The rockers in the smaller size are kick a$$ Lures I might add also!!
