Thank you all for the help and advice!

Trailer was repaired today by Gary at Eagle Welding in Wolcott as suggested!

was lucky enough that axle held together enough to launch boat just a few hundred yards from were I had to leave it last week. Made it to Eagle without a further break and they did a great job squaring it up and welding it.

Great people, great customer service!

Thank you men!

Launching boat yesterday and noticed back set of trailer wheels tilted funny. Dual axle Yacht Club trailer back axle frame rusted through and cracked. Still in tact but imo not safe to tow, boat and trailer in Sodus.

anybody know a repair trailer place up there?

has anybody ever had one of these welded?

trailer is in pretty good shape otherwise

thanks

Agree! I spoke with the Town Manager earlier this year, nice guy, provided all the details. He understands and explained the dock was built to the exact specifications that the state required for the to get the grant $ to build the new dock. I asked about a temporary floater for this year, no money. The town has now applied for another grant to add something, maybe a floater?, to make it usable. He explained that might happen next year.

The town people I spoke to were very informative, the two guys were both fisherman and they wanted it fixed too, just following the exact direction of NYS.

Nothing is easy fishing from Sodus this year!

I have been launching at Bay Bridge Bait Store this year, it’s been fine.

i tried the public launch in early June and found it very tough and a bit unsafe with my 23’ Cuddy. There are people launching there, small boats, jet skis and bass boats.

You can’t really tie off to the dock and park your truck.

It was!

You could really fish! Different combos and spreads, easy to change, not much flea!

and you didn’t have to hold on with one hand trying to stay in the boat!

Perfect conditions today, lots of boats too! 

Started getting stuff set at about 170’ , temp break was at 100 down, 47 degrees.

Fished out to about 330 feet, not many fish, very little bait, went back around a little more west, more of the same but kept going out, at 388’ got a small king , Carbon 14 down 115. Landed fish and 330’ back dipsy took a high teens king in 400 feet.

That was it, overall perfect weather, nice water, didn’t find many fish!

15# Shark Weight Black, one only.

like new condition black

can drop off between Pine City NY and Sodus Point

or arrange for a pick up

I fish Sodus, yes water is low. Using public launch is very difficult and a little unsafe because the dock is so far off the water. Small boats, jet skis etc use it, but to launch, tie off and park is nearly impossible.

there are several other places, all 6-12 miles away

A couple of additional pictures

also price reduction to 7800.00

Thanks again for the info, my first timers cancelled but I headed out solo this morning expecting to find fairly calm conditions, the forecast was wrong! The bay was even choppy! I have a gps location for the depth people suggested that’s been great for several years, started setting up in 170, by 190 outside dipsey/wire takes off, nice king. Had him ready to net and downrigger releases, he fights the rod holder while I net first one. Rigger fish escapes! Tried to turn around, no good, brought in lines and headed to shallow water, until it rained.

i think it could have been a great day, weather and waves were bruttal

Thank you all for the information!

Having a reasonable starting point with only 4 or 5 hours to fish is very helpful.

Thank you!

Does anybody have any current Sodus area intel to offer?

Headed up this week with two first timers, hoping to hook them up!

thanks

I had the same thing happen and lost the probe!

The Cannon customer service rep was very nice and responsive however would only send new Cannon cable at No Charge.

She was polite and explained it happens often, “we get bad cable from our manufactures”!

When it happened the second time I changed my cable on both downriggers.

1989 Rinker Festiva with 170 Hp Mercrusier inboard , 6 cal on Yacht Club dual axle trailer.

offering for sale as a turnkey ready to fish now package!

Estimated hours on engine are 500 to 600 based on what I was told when I bought boat in August of 2015 and what I’ve run it since.

It runs great and has been perfectly maintained and I have the details etc.

when I bought it was a pleasure boat and I set up as fishing boat winter/spring of 2015/2016 and it has been a great boat for me.

Hillside posted a Sodus Report which is great, it’s nice to have guys sharing the basics on here about Sodus area.

i headed up today for first actual trip, first quick run was to make sure everything worked.

i dry store so launching is a pain in the a....

got out to 180 set some stuff out and by 220 first king, medium. Turned a little east and by 260, big king. Made a big circle , didn’t find much, back to mark and at 260 another king.

two on wire dipsy, flasher fly the other on rigger spoon.

temp break was right at 100, fish were all there and below to 170 down

steady morning!

good luck

Thanks for pòsting the report

Thank you for posting the report!

make an offer?

Only fished for a couple hours, one bait pod at about 125’ with a couple of fish , looked like a laker deal, fished out to 225, headed back. No other bait, and only a couple of marks

no hits

talked to one other guy putting boat away, his comment was “it’s been brutal”

I launched this morning at the public launch right past Arnies. I would not recommend launching there, it’s tough.

i have a 23’ Cuddy style, you couldn’t put outdrive down, had to paddle out a bit.

had to get in the water putting in and taking out

not sure about other options

Thank you!

I will give it a go!
