Wow! Curious what the measurements were?

These are some pics of a 21 foot Lund Newport.

Think some of the early 1970's hulls had that flat bottom going on.

No worries. It is always interesting to hear about people's boat journeys! There seems to be a solid following for these Starcrafts. The link below shows a member's rebuild from a couple years back. Pretty impressive!

I hear you! I almost bought one 2 years ago. Ended up picking up an 18 foot Lund Newport. They made a 21 foot model also in the late 80's early 90's. I am from CT and don't get up to the big lake that often so I figured an 18 footer would be better for some of the other fishing I do in the CT area. I attached some pics of the updates I did to my Lund.

Good Morning, Just saw this on facebook marketplace. Maybe a cool project for someone over the winter? I have no connection to the boat and I am not aware of any additional details. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1335058087436031/ Tight Lines

Not super detailed but I just found this. https://wildlife.org/protecting-lake-ontario-fishing-stock-from-avian-predators/

Thanks for sharing that info.

What is the DEC doing currently about the sea lamprey issue? Do they target the lamprey on their spawning runs in order to try and control their numbers?

Jesus!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to get back up to the big lake.

Appreciate you sharing this article! Will give it a read.

I hear you. That one is my biggest so far. 26 inches. Hoping to get a 30 for a replica mount eventually.

Appreciate the response. That info about the tagged Canadian fish is interesting. I pulled up the stocking numbers from the dec and was surprised that they dont stock more locations. But if they are moving a bit that makes sense. Me and my dad fish out of a 17 foot aluminum so the off shore salmon stuff isnt really for us. And honestly I dont like the idea of combat fishing the river mouths with every one else for the salmon in the shallower water come fall time. We are putting together a solid program for the spring browns. A lot of that is due to this site. I cant get up to the lake in september but I am hoping for october. We will probably focus on the river mouths and maybe even try out the smallies. Sounds like there are some close to shore shoals that can be productive also for a variety of species. I picked up some good maps so it will be time to start looking around for some productive spots.

Copy that. Trying to decide where to spend some time in October doing some trolling in the lake or hitting some of the tributary mouths. Seems like where they are stocked is where they stay according to your response. We have done okay up near the Salmon River mouth area also for browns. After the good fishing this past April near Sodus though I am having a hard time thinking about not going to check it out again this fall and instead heading up to the Mexico area. Thanks for the response!
