I would say to all the people out there "sitting on the fence" about entering "Go for it". The derby is a lot of fun, can be a great family event, and the odds regarding winning prize money is a heck of a lot better than buying lottery tickets stc. The lake may not be the easiest fishing these days but the challenge of it is what it is all about. A derby like this is not all about catching the MOST fish....it is about catching that one LARGEST fish out there and luck plays a role in it for everyone so everybody has a chance at it whether in small craft or large or with all the latest "gizmos" and electronics. Where else do you get a chance at $10,000 for just having fun?

I know for a fact that the power ant on Cayuga...what ever its called now....has the intake screens installed. I put cranes on the job and saw the screens myself.

Um, yeah. This conversation has been specific to Grenlige on Seneca lake. 

Thank you for posting Rick KG. Scary stuff. 

I don't know, just a big concern. I just wish the DEC would require them (and it appears they have the power to do so, so why don't they??) Install screens which will prevent crustaceans, eggs, and fish from being sucked into the intake pumps and ground sauce. DEC PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one up in the barn you can take. I think 30.00 is more than fair. Don't know how good it is, haven't used it in years, welcome to check it out. Gonna be away for a few days, back next week if you're interested. Hop

Almost unbelievable. So sad.

Beautiful deer.  Great job. I will say , the last picture has a LOT of familiar looking 3 leaf plants. Shower soon..

Thanks! Any luck with the kicker trim?

Yes, turns out it was a fuse. I  had misplaced the owners manual in moving.  4 bucks for 4 fuses and 28 bucks for a new manual. 🤭

Ah real nice fish.   Congrats. 

12 foot boat, no papers.  Good shape, heavy duty. Unsure of year, guessing mid 60's. $200 firm. Serious inquiries pm with number for pics.  Ovid area. 

Yes,  that is tough.  Forgot to say,  Seneca fleas were a PITA last week. 

👍

Oh man, very sad. Back in the day when we fished the Belhurst hole December to February lampreys would come up and attach to the boat transom. Got out Sunday for a while, had one on for a couple minutes, 60 down over 80, Then a major clustermuck, but a beautiful morning on lady Seneca. 

Ohh, that hurts. 

No go. What  I  thought might be a fuse was not.  So off to talk with Fran tomorrow.  PS the water is cooling down. 

I may have found it.  Looked as close as I could, may have found a blown fuse, but have to get in water to confirm. Last week I put a new battery in, possibly the wires touched. Stay tuned, going swimming...

Possibly, but don't see one. 

Anyone out there who can identify a possible reason/solution why the power trim does not work. It's in the up position, good battery and tight connection. No click, no nothing.

A couple weeks ago my Daughter found a big laker washed up on shore with the telltale hole behind the pectoral..And she knows a big laker when she sees it.

A good question, the auxiliary operates for a number of objectives. They are Search and Rescue, Boater Education, Vessel Inspections, Marine Monitoring under the department of homeland security. A boater broken down while that can lead to a rescue is not an emergency. The protocol requires us to first have them obtain a tow from any commercially available source. On Cayuga after 5 there is none. Secondarily issue a marine assistance broadcast for a good samaritan on channel 16, done no answer. Thirdly if available utilize a good samaritan in the area.

When there is a risk to life and property we get involved, like the sailboat adrift becalmed with broken engine at 10 pm I pulled to harbor, or the broken down boat adrift ahead of a severe inbound thunderstorm we towed in.

We work as a federal asset on the lake, there are a limited number in this case we were the only one covering 38 miles of lake. We need to be kept available for emergencies...boat sinking... people missing...medical emergency etc.

In this case the second potential good samaritan agreed to assist, with instruction and guidance they completed the tow while we monitored and shut down the entrance of the marina so it would make it safer for them to enter. The two families involved appeared to strike up a friendship and it ended quite well.

What I have learned from this post is that most people would render assistance and there are a few that take the approach of its not my problem piss off. I guess that should not surprise me, yet it does. It also disappoints.

Hopefully that helps clarify...and hopefully when asked to help, the majority would....
