    We were there on 7/8/26 also and you are spot on about the fleas. The worst we’ve seen in a long time. Our best water was between 350 and 500 fow and 60’ down. Water temp down 60 was 51deg. We had a hard time keeping them on the hook. Ended up with a 10lb, 18lb, and two 1pounders in the boat. Several other kings along with a couple steelheads threw the hook. We launched at 5:45am with three boat trailers in the parking lot. We pulled out at 1:30 and there was not enough room in the parking lot to park a motorcycle. I have never seen so many boats in the bay. Great day on the water.

    Hmmmmm??? a couple days ago there was a reply to “Shug” stating that the fish hawk was still available and text to a phone number. today another post on this topic stating that the phone number was a scam. THEN all of a sudden the post with the phone number disappeared AND THEN almost immediately the post pointing out the scam disappeared????

    Launched at 5:45am out at 1pm. Best was a 10lb king down 90’ over 130fow. Lost 2 fish off the boards with 10 color lead core. Landed a dink off the boards. Lastly landed a 5lb laker off the riggers. Green spoons seemed best. Water temp down 90 was 44.5 deg. Saw only 5 other boats on the lake. Never got deeper than 150fow. Saw many marks on the screen and many took a good look at our baits but then turned away. Absolute beautiful day on the water.

    Launched next to the Coast Guard Station at 6:30am, pulled out at 12:45pm. One trailer in lot when we launched, 5 trailers in lot when we pulled out. Turned west out of the inlet, very brown water so we set up right away. First brown came in about 15 minutes of trolling. Picked up 14 browns total along with 2 twelve inch salmon. Stayed in 10’ to 20fow. Everything came on boards with rapalas. No hits on riggers with spoons. Best rapala of the day was a J7 in black over silver. Biggest fish was about 5lbs. Water temp stayed around 40.6 but did see 41deg at one point. Early the breeze was SW but swung around to SE around 11am. That SE breeze stirred up the water and was cold. Great day on the water. Anyone know what they are doing on the east side of the inlet with the crane and rock? I have used otter boats for the past 4 years. I always hated the way they would often “go dead” during a small turn. I recently moved the tow line attach point further aft on the board. Pulls tighter and does not tend to “die” as much.

    If you want to sell one of the probes, let me know. Thanks.

    Could not get any info on Sodus ice/launch status so I made the 2.5 hour ride to see for myself. The launch next to the old Arnie’s Marina, which is called Harriman Park is ice, free and deep enough to launch. The parking lot looks good, although there are some patches of ice. Also a new sign posted next to the dock. The launch over by the Coast Guard station is same thing ice free deep enough to launch, and the parking lot has icy patches

    I have a (as close as you can get to new) set of Amish Outfitter Planer Boards for sale. Plastic (collapsable) boards, flags, shock cords, and two spools of 500lb test planer board tow line (200’ per spool). I used these boards one time on Cayuga. They track very well with much of the board beneath the water. They pull hard and keep that tow line tight which keeps the board more off to the side of your boat and not lagging further back, the tight tow line makes sliding your releases down the line easier and when a fish hits there is a faster release from the release. The boards collapse making storage much easier. Hooking up lines to the releases is a little too tough for me and my wife (best first mate ever) was not thrilled. My 70 year old hands don’t work like they used to and that tight tow line makes it difficult. 20 years ago it would have not been an issue. I paid $294 for the boards including shipping and tax. I will bite the bullet and take $200 if anyone is interested. I’d rather not ship. I live near Troy PA. I travel often due to my part time job of transporting cars for a car dealership. Trips to Albany NY, Syracuse NY, Cleveland OH, Newark NJ, Baltimore MD, and Pittsburgh PA are made somewhat often. I fish Cayuga, Sodus, The Oak, and sometime Oswego. if you are interested give me a shout.

    FYI, Launches at Treman and Taughannock are ice free and usable. Launched out of Treman this morning 3/10/26 with a StarCraft 196 and had no issues due to depth. While trolling saw other boats coming out of Taughannock. Not a stellar day but we did get 3 nice LL to the boat. A little breezy (16mph ENE according to Myers point anemometer) between 8:30am - 10am. Flattened out around 11am. Highest surface temp was 37.8 deg. All 3 LL on divers off boards. Another great day on the water. Also, I recently bought a pair of Amish Outfitter Planer Boards. Used them for the first time today. They pull too hard for my liking. I am going back to my Otter Boats. I will post them in classified soon. Boards, shock cords, and 2 spools of 500lb planer tow line, 200’ each spool. I paid $294 for the package with shipping and tax. I’ll give somebody a great deal if interested. Just like new, once in the water. Lastly, I have been unable to find out if the launch (next to the Coast Guard Station) at Sodus is ice free. Anybody know?

    Thanks for the info. Perhaps with the warmer temps and the SW winds the past few days some of the ice will break up. If anyone has an update please let us know. Tuesday 3/10/26 looks like a nice day to fish out of Sodus.

    Anyone been by Sodus Bay within the last few days? I’m wondering if ice is still blocking launch next to Coast Guard station. thanks for any info.

    I won’t lie, I was hoping for an “all clear of ice” reply. But your reply is much appreciated,,, saved me a 1.5 hour ride to check. Thanks
