    Adm.B, unwrapped the fishmaster last week to find every nook and cranny stuffed with acorns. Suppose I should expect that living in a forest. And the wife won't let me thin out the chippies and squirrels.   Thankfully got it scrubbed down and in the hoist. Got it wet yesterday, water temp 43 to 46. Spotted a dead ll or rainbow on bottom in 20feet.   I could use a couple new life vests too!😆

    It’s gonna be a crazy summer.. My girlfriend is 8 months pregnant, Not only are lack of charters coming but not knowing if someone has it and comes on board would be a disaster

    Boy Stephen did you plan that wrong!😂  How in the heck are you going to win the derby when you have been up all night changing diapers?!🥱

    Lack of knowledge?  So the rainbows are native to this area?  The trout are self sustaining?  No they aren't!  Furthermore if stocking more fish doesn't improve the fishing then simply the fishery isn't viable for rainbows.  Catch rates don't mean that much as fisheries change wildly and the anglers and the DEC  typically use the exact same methods year after year.  Not every lake has to be a trout lake and furthermore the trout DON'T flourish in every lake.  The walleye, bass, and perch are actually flourishing and for every trout troller there are 10 warm water guys.  The DEC is not serving the majority of anglers by pushing a trout only agenda on skaneateles.

     I always have  proper safety equipment, and usually carry 3 or 4 methods of propulsion.. In my 17 footer, i have a 70 HP main engine, a 4 HP  on the stern alongside it as backup, and a 2 HP gas outboard stowed away as backup to the backup. 2 paddles as well, always.

     i carry an extinguisher that works, i have all required equipment, plus double the number of PFD's i would ever need.. However, when tickets are  handed out for a perfectly GOOD PFD because the damn tag is missing,  yes, it is indeed a money grab When tickets are handed out because expired flares are on the boat along with UP TO DATE flares. yes. its a money grab..... 

     

    NY is overwhelmed by Welfare, Medicaid,  Low  income housing costs for the  "gimmie class". and is desperate for any  new funding it can muster .. They get it where they can... Boat owners typically have money, and its a good a place as any.. Are you guys REALLY that naive' to think the state of NY is "watching out for your safety and well being".. really?.. On the finger lakes??.. Please, give me a break... bob

    Are you serious Bob?  A ticket given when legal flares are aboard because some additional outdated are on board??  If that is accurate law enforcement should not have to wonder any more why young people distrust them. Just plain wrong to ticket someone for that.  Don't care if it's technically legal..
