    Clearance at Taughannock

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    What I was getting at is that the distance for clearance isn't constant as the water level can vary from day to day and if you have a close fit it can be doable at one time and not another so knowing the distance from water to bottom of the bridge varies. The tolerance for some boats may be inches or less. That is all I was trying to say. I wasn't trying to get smart about it. It is one of the reasons I launch at Dean's :smile:

    All good.

    Not sure but have to factor in how your boat sits in the water and the water level at the time of entry as well.:smile:

    I understand that….wondering if anyone knows approximately what the distance is from water to bottom of the bridge. I would then know if I could get under. Thanks though.

    You have to appreciate the volunteers who donate their time and try their best BUT.....this is a pay for play event with thousands of dollars on the line, these mistakes should not continue to happen. How about the people fishing who themselves are not able to tell the difference and have a fish weighed, misidentified and may have placed if it was put in the right category. Fisherman that know will challenge that and probably it gets resolved. As for Nick's comment about his sister and it being weighed by finger lakes club members, they are volunteering but actually are doing it for a free entry to a tournament with a $50 entry fee, therefore they are being paid $50. With that being said why not pay one person at weigh stations that has the proper knowledge to identify these fish and let others volunteer to assist. They can measure, weigh and document but always have one person there to identify. It sounds as though getting enough people to volunteer is becoming a problem so have only one weigh station, do it at Sampson so it's closer to the middle. It would take fewer people and pay one per shift to identify.

    Hay I fish there a lot, almost every week.  I was in the diary program but quit because it is hard to keep records in a 14 foot utility boat that one of you guys called the "trailer trash".  I like that name.  Since August we have started to see a lot more alwives in the bellys of the lakers.  About every forth fish has them in their belly.  the fish look healthier, but we have not gotten any over 24 inches.  Numbers have improved from a low point last year.  We also found one 6 inch brown so them must have stocked some browns at least.   Anyway, just saying there is a slight improvement in the looks fo the fish and the bait fish too.......jk

    I’m certain they stocked Browns in the spring but I will find out for sure.

    Well I would like to say it was due to our stellar abilities...lol....but truth be known, we left two in the rod holders until we could get to them and they stayed buttoned up. haha  Although we each were on our own while we were fighting and landing the first three.

    Went out of Sampson this morning for a quick trip aboard Reel Stories. The wind was certainly blowing pretty good when we put in a six rod spread about 7:15 and the lake still had a bump to it when we quit at about 10:15. We picked away at them from the start and then Nick said there's one, oh we're doubled, haha a triple, no wait that's 4...nope 5. That's right 5 out of the 6 rods fired giving me, Greg and Nick some laughs .... we managed to land them all. Capt. Nick was on his game today, we never changed a bait with all six rods taking fish this morning. I didn't count but i'm guessing we landed about 15 fish and the biggest Lamprey I've ever seen. Great morning on the water and fishing with good friends always makes it better.

    Thanks for the plug. I just like to give seneca the props it needs. I've seen some negativity on this site towards me. I have no reason to "lie" to gain attention. I'm just being honest with guys, especially if it saves them that extra drive time to other lakes for a quick morning or afternoon trip on their boats.

    I have always been told 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish. That being said most fishermen might struggle when a lake is fishing tough. You my friend are in the top 10% of the best on the lake. Hold your head high and be proud. Since I’ve known you, you have always displayed class and integrity.

    Thanks guys. Nick you always organize a great event. I can’t say enough about Capt Nick Overacker and Joe Solometo for the help they give me. Wealth of knowledge and an open book, always willing to help. Brian you are a class act. It was good seeing you and I’m glad you were able to come down and play on the fingers. Hopefully you’ll do it again.
