If it was blue it was very dark driver appeared in his 30s brown hair and beard I believe... should have snapped a pic but I was too busy being appalled and shocked at his behavior ... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

There was no discretion involved he simply refused and replied he’s busy fishing.... it was calm no wind ... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I appreciate that but it wasnt me I was out on patrol as uscg auxiliary...the boat was a small family boat that needed help...we cant always get authorization to tow and have to rely on passerbys or a marine assistance broadcast which I put out and no one answered...ultimately I found a good samaritan to help tow them while I escorted them back to myers and protected the tow...Im just hoping someone on the board knows the guy ... I am betting he is a local Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

To the guy in the Black Starcraft in the area of Ithaca Yacht Club sporting an old style two stroke with a bimini top and oil tank on top of engine..... Who refused to assist a boater broken down with four kids on board because you were “fishing” you sir are despicable.. and Karma is **** Perhaps there is a reason you were fishing alone ... fortunately I found another Good Samaritan .. the Coast Guard Auxiliary is not a tow service and cannot always get clearance to tie up a resource to do it... The rule is you don’t leave a boater stranded .... Unbelievable behavior ...it always comes around Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Well the first two hours were mighty slow ... electronics are a huge help but knowing where fish have been helps ... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Launched an evening charter actually 15th won’t let me change title ...with odd weather of stationary thunderstorms and no sonar to work with due to a networking problem... faced fickle sometimes heavy winds from a cell that meandered north of us enough to mess the lake up for us... don’t often post results from my trips unless it’s something odd or noteworthy.... we finally got into the fish around 7 pm big time landing the boats first double triple... it started with a quad hookup 2nd in two years put two customers captain and mate all on rods boat left to drive itself... lost one on a tangle three on dipsys and one on a rigger... just had time to clear the deck get dipsys going out and one dipsy hits on way out other rigger fires and the planer core fires with a nice rainbow...landed all three ... in total 12 fish were landed on trip but 6 were landed in 20 minutes including the largest at 10.75 pounds and the rainbow.... wild night only running 8 lines..limited out customer first mate had a couple to take home ...here’s to flying blind, dancing the storm, and one wild night ...

Unfortunately until the vast amount of boaters are forced to attend boater safety which everyone has to do phased in over several years .... many guys on the water have no knowledge of what those red and green lights on their boat are even for.... the optimist in me says it will get better the pessimist says probably not...

I like a few I contacted or tried to via Facebook no response yet Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nothing like a bunch of fisherman bickering ....lmao Ok so hijacking this thread those spoons look really nice !!! Anyone use em .... hold up? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I work the lake regularly as a charter. Regardless if you have a new guy driving or not you are responsible for what your boat does. Particularly on busy weekends it can feel like combat trolling dealing avoiding others. I run 10 lines most days and if you are working a ledge and someone comes along and pinches you into a shallow its a pain...I had more pleasure boaters and jetskis passing within a few yards of my boards at high speed this weekend than ever it was like someone called a stupid boater festival..... if as described an apology is certainly owed... not a cool move Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
