  1. First off, love the MCOC, and excited to participate again this year! However, have to ask the question. Given Braddocks now has a well established (should say re-established) marina, launch and provisions, and is well within the Monroe county boundary, is it safe to assume that it will be acceptable to depart from there for the MCOC this year? I know that has not been allowed the past 2 years, but am asking that be reconsidered for this year given the genessee launch is closed, and braddocks is still functioning well.

     

    Thank you for the consideration!

  2. I live out that way and traveled the bad stretch this weekend to fish out of the Oak. There is about a 10 mile section, from Hamlin beach state park to a few miles from Pt. Breeze that is really bad and I would not want to tow a boat on. The only way to make it a little more tolerable is to drive completely on the shoulder, but I wouldn't want to do that towing a boat either. The other option is Rt. 18.

  3. I'm interested in leasing hunting land (for deer) for the upcoming and future seasons. My preference is land that is located North West or West of Rochester. Please let me know if you have anything available and we can discuss details. I am willing to carry whatever insurance is appropriate. PM me if you have any options.

     

    Thanks!

  4. I've made numerous trips from Rochester to ports across the lake, and would recommend Cobourg (even though it's a little west). Its a nice little town with a couple good bars/restaurants and a nice beach.

     

    The other nice option is to go directly across and enter the Bay of Quinte. Once you go into the Bay of Quinte, after passing through a canal a couple miles long directly off the lake, you have access to a few ports (Trenton, Belleville and Picton are a few of the larger ones). Its a very nice ride through the Bay of Quinte, and you could even drive all the way across it and come out the east side then head back across the lake. 

     

    The biggest thing to be very cautious of (other than the canadian regulations others pointed out) is how fast conditions change out ther and how often weather, especially wind forecasts are wrong! Its about a 60 mile trip across and a lot can change in 3 hours. I'd recommend planning an early morning start after a calm day/night before and be able to stay the night if the weather changes after you reach the other side.

     

    Good luck and enjoy. Trips across the lake have been some of my best boating memories!
