    The weather cooperated for most of the day. Everyone seemed to be happy to be out on Canandaigua fishing. The four wining teams are pictured here. All signup money was given back to the top four teams along with bragging plaques for each team member.

    Pizza & beverages were on us.

    More tournament to come. Let's see how the season shapes up. Congratulation to all the winners.

  2. we stopped selling Lowrance right after Simrad bought them. Ever since then they went from the best customer service to the worst. One of thier 30 year veterans went to Garmin, thats why they have come alive with product lately..

     

    Seager Marine Only sells Humminbird and Garmin FYI...

     

    we've been doin this for 49.6 years now !

     

    We only sell manufacturers that support their products with the highest standards.

  3. well from what i can find on the NYS DEC site there haven't been any bass stocking anywhere up here. might have something to do with it too.

     

    no stocking

    VHS disease

    those damn gobies

    several awesome years of harvest before this year.

     

    hmmm.. might all be contributing factors.. only thing you locals can do is contact the DEC and have them put more in !!!

  4. just found this NYS:

    Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) in New York What is VHS?

    Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) virus is a serious pathogen of fresh and saltwater fish that is causing a disease issue in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. VHS virus is a rhabdovirus (rod shaped virus) that affects fish of all size and age ranges. It does not pose any threat to human health. VHS can cause hemorrhaging of fish tissue, including internal organs, and can cause the death of infected fish. Once a fish is infected with VHS, there is no known cure. Not all infected fish develop the disease, but they can carry and spread the disease to other fish. VHS has been blamed for fish kills in Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair (MI), Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, Skaneateles Lake, Seneca-Cayuga Canal, Conesus Lake, a private pond in Ronsomville and several inland lakes in Wisconsin and Michigan. The World Organization of Animal Health has categorized VHS as a transmissible disease with the potential for profound socio-economic consequences. Because of this, they list VHS as a disease that should be reported to the international community as an exceptional epidemiological (study of diseases in large populations) occurrence.

  5. out all day yesterday, found fish, threw everything at them, no takers, very frustratiing. something is very different up here. been fishing up here for 6 years now. last three years things have dwindled down,this year so far only one day boating fish! unless I'm forgetting how to fish...something up here is screwed up!!!

  6. Couple of thoughts. I am in a learning curve with a hook 7x. Check your range in the menu if it's not set to auto you may not track bottom. If u have fishing mode make sure it's not set to shallow water. Try going into menu and set to default which erases any settings u made takes it back to factory settings. Hope this helps

    Good thought !

  7. the angle of your transducer is off.. are you sure it's pointing straight down when the boats in the water? try moving it and see if it helps..

    when you installed the transducer you didn't drop it on a hard floor ? this can damage it...could be bad.. if the angle doesn't help borrow another

    transducer and just hang it over the side and see if it works.. new isn't always good ya know !

     

    Good luck getting any support from Lowrance!

  8. should be a main breaker under the hood. Look around to where the wiring box is on the powerhead.

    Boat should have a fuse or two on the accessory side. Make sure all the electrical units work before launching.

    Like the bilge pump, horn, lights radio..

    Everything should be fine if all protected properly. As long as you switched it right off...

    Should probably take it in either way....

    Hey Stuff happens.
