Hauling the $

What size downrigger is it the 10 hopefully?

Since the ice everywhere is deteriorating I was wondering if the boat launch at long point is accesible to get a boat out. Or does that area also freeze over during the winter. I’m almost 2 hours away or I would check myself. Thanks for any info.

I work out of town 9 months out of the year. I get 1 day off a week I don’t get to pick and choose the best weather to go I go when I can and today the water was pretty rough and fortunately we came out with about 50 perch between 9-12 inches not 1 pickeral I was amazed. My son had a awesome time and that’s what matters most. He was asleep 10 minutes after we left.

I decided to go a different route finally found a spot that still sells bait so I’m gonna spend the day on the north end perch fishing Anyone been up there ?

Now you have me concerned everything I see for Lansing shows 4 mph winds ans a 30 percent chance of showers and it’s only 18 ft boat

Fishing south end Sunday rain or shine any updates havnt been out since March I’m gonna start around 100 fow of water 80-95 fow down taking my 5 year old boy hope to get something. I’m gonna try double stacking riggers for the first time see how that goes anyone else getting out ?

Looks like the water came up another 2 feet looking online I may give it a try Monday at the Union Springs boat launch with my 18 ft deep v its a 2 hour ride to be let down but I guess I could always go back to long point and head up. If anyone has seen the launch or launched out of it I would greatly appreciate a update even if its a pm.

DO you think there is enough water at union springs to launch a 16 foot flat bottom boat

I fished Meyers 7am-10 and then went up north caught 7 lake trout all off downrigger all keepers but number 6 and 7 came back to back so we threw one back and then went home all between 90-110 fow right on bottom

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it I will be replacing the impeller here in a week or so as a precaution

Next time it warms up I will check out all that bob

OK thanks it's a 4 cylinder 3.0 liter merc cruiser alpha one when I first fire it up with hose it shot out of both and then only come out the starboard don't know when impeller was replaced last I have owned it for 1 year now

I/o water output help I have a merc cruiser alpha one water only comes out right side of exhaust I am assuming it is not very familiar with a i/o motor is that normal or should I have water come out both sides when running

Got 2 new rigs from gambler today they look great my new big Jon rod holders won't be in until tommarow but i will be fishing tommarow got them all rigged for the downriggers along with some thundersticks and spoons can't wait to get out tommarow never trolled this time of the year hope to put some fish in the boat

So for a 18 foot deep v would you suggest launch at tughannock or deans cove
