Good luck ed, hope u do well! I thought all those camps on the finger lakes were called cottages?...

I agree I would use blue

I don't remember it was last year. Most likely they were 20 to 24"

I tried running an 11 inch paddle and the only thing that happened was a big mess

Great to hear but u didn't mention what the new boat is!

So the aluminum spine is already in the artificial bait? So I do not need to insert myself?

I live in northville. I would troll the islands toward the middle of the lake.,early morning or late afternoon. The lake is really high and the islands provide allot of ambush cover. Look for areas that have close access to deeper water.,if u want to venture further, head north toward the bachelor file bridge. Go past the bridge until u hit the sharp bend in the lake.,hit that nm corner.,a nice creek comes in there and always holds northerns. A closer spot for u would be to head behind sand island and scout island.mthey are pretty much due east of u. Good luck.,I ice fish and spring fish the lake. This spring was exceptional, got many northerns over 42" and a few pushing 48"

How long is the trip for u to drive?

I will be out for 4 days over the 7th to 10th of auagust

Yup I ended up buying a two pack they were ten bucks and the same for the shipping ouch

Thanks for all of the replies, think I will stick to mex point

I have 2 of the Bert's.mthe only thing that I don't like is that the black plastic/rubber cap slips off and unfortunately I finally lost one today in the drink! Anyone know if I can order a replacement? Gonna glue them this time as I should have before!

Nick got the salad covered for dinner at least!

Ok so I am new to lake o trolling what is the proper distance if you should need to cross behind someone and of course not knowing what they are trolling but that doesn't really matter? Hard to judge distance.

Cool u staying on the boat?

Yes keep me posted on how u make out

Yeah I plan on just hitting Mexico. We are on site 48 I believe pulling with a 24 foot rv

Yup very nice

It must be a good price as they don't even have it listed for sale

Staying at Selkirk shores second week of augurs can I launch my 221 islander from the launch I can access at port ontario or do I have to goto mex point like I did last year?

I believe bellows have a life expectancy of about 10 years. I just had to put 700 into my islander that I bought 2 summers ago. She is a 1991 original plug wires rotor plugs and rebuilt carbs but she is 24 years old and knew I would have to do those things when I bought her but the guy I bought it from had no clue that it would need to be done. Also, I just want to mention that everyone has their own idea of ready to fish etc. some people are very meticulous and organized. Some less so but seem to be just as happy. Friend or family whoever is shelling out the money should be cautious no matter what

So what's the story? There has to be a hot bleach blond chick involved. Where is her pic? Haha how long before nys dec spill response showed up! Cha Ching!
