If my choice, Barcelona. Better access to the launch and less crowded. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I think 40 bass in 3 days on a lake you know well is completely doable. Wife and I do forked lake usually twice/year, and I'd say if we hit it right we can do 12-20 smallmouth and largemouth per day if we go at it hard. No giants but the occasional 4lb'er. But, no pics so it never happens I guess...... Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wife and I do 3-4 canoe trips/year in the daks. May this year we spent 3 nights based out of fourth lake on Alger Island, July found us for 5 days on Forked Lake, late september we base out of Fish Creek Ponds with 2 side overnite trips back in planned with the canoe. Canoe campers for years, we've been all over up there. Our honeymoon was us and our lab in a leanto on 7th lake for 5 days. All our trips involve fishing.

A man with integrity. You weren't being a dick, you were being considerate of the other vessel. Crap happens, we've all been there. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don't know how close the boats were, so hard to distinguish the right move. But you were the giveway vessel, but instead you cut or tried to cut across him and you in essence forced him on a starboard course to avoid collision or avoid your lines, as he doesn't know what you got dragging behind you either. I would have slowed right down, since I had no long lines out and turned slight starboard and allowed him to continue his course, even if it messes me up. I could have judged that 500 ft when it was past and then gotten back on my course. Bottom line is you were the giveway vessel. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Agree with Todd...everyone has the responsibility to avoid a collision no matter the rules of the road. I fish erie out of dunkirk and the catt, and sometimes there are so many boats trolling in a narrow depth range and this where I see the most fault. It amazes me at the number of boaters that don't know that when two boats are oncoming (going towards each other bow to bow) that you should turn starboard and pass port to port. I'll make my adjustment many times to starboard, they make theirs to port...so, I end up adjusting to port to avoid the collision. And some days everyone is good, and its a nice time out.

No, negative to you chinook. This is right from the NYS boating course......... "Any vessel overtaking any other vessel must keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken. The overtaking is always the give-way vessel and the vessel being overtaken is always the stand-on vessel. This rule applies even if the overtaking vessel is propelled by wind, oars, or rubber band paddlewheel.Any vessel overtaking any other vessel must keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken. The overtaking is always the give-way vessel and the vessel being overtaken is always the stand-on vessel." Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If baking walleye, I like this one; dip the fillet in egg beaters that has some garlic salt and pepper added, along with the juice from a lemon. Then roll the fillets in seasoned bread crumbs. Place in baking dish with goid coating of oil. Bake at 400 for 25, turning after 15. Getting hungry here. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow, here we go again. I just took the course, online, through Boatus. It was free, so not a money grab. You do it at your own pace, there is an exam after each section, you don't move onto the next section until you pass that section. I am in my sixties, been boating for many years, but still learned a few things. People need this course. This past weekend I am out with the wife on Erie, trolling with 4 rods out on a north course in a 20 ft cuddy (very visible). An 18 footer open boat with 3 guys are trolling on a course directly at my port side. Far enough away my wife asks "do these guys see us?" I say yeah, and they are the give boat so they'll move. Wife is at the helm, I'm on the deck adjusting reels. I keep watching, and then it is apparent they do not know we're there. I shout at them and run for the kicker and crank the throttle. They now come alive and start moving like hell grabbing lines and turning their boat....once they adjust they shout "sorry". They get their boat on course and all sit down facing the stern letting their autopilot take them wherever, nobody paying mind to where they are going. I bet they never took the course. If you've never taken it I can guarantee you all need it. Stop whining and just get it done for everyones sake out there. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice...part of the reason to be out there. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I think if you broke the stickbaits down into lots by size and quantity and priced those lots you'd do fine. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
