Special experiences on the water while fishing
TFB replied to rolmops's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Best memories... 10 yr. old son and I trolling 10 miles out Olcott in our 16' Penn Yan. Early 80s if I remember correctly. Suddenly, intense gasoline fumes hit us. Our trusty 6 gallon metal gasoline can developed a pinhole leak leaving a lot of gas at the transom. I got on the radio and asked if someone could lend me a gasoline can to transfer 5 1/2 gallons. Sure enough I had many concerned fellow fishermen answering my call. Soon a boat located me and lent me a can. That man saved the day and I returned the gas can to the address he gave me even though he said keep it. I never had the chance to thank him. So.. Thank You Sir. Thanks very much ! -

When you make your decision, I had a good engine rebuild experience with a big shop in Virginia. You have to begin exploring shops starting somewhere, so if you decide rebuilding with up to date parts I can reccomend a shop to begin your search. A good shop ? You will know it when you see it. Settle for nothing less.

I started out at Wilson and Olcott driving a 16 footer. I had one 'Invader' downrigger with three rods. I had a VHF radio and a used paper graph. Don't forget your compass! I ran a 10lb. ball . I used cheaters and a long line out back. Many times I fished out sight of land. This was on a tiny budget and my young son was always on board. The other captains in your vicinity can be counted on if you have a bad 'situation' such as my 6 gallon metal gas can springing a leak. I once forgot my cannon ball. The guys out there saved the day with a replacement gas can to transfer that gasoline. Suddenly a new cannon ball shows up so my trip wouldn't be ruined. Most of all, try to go out with an experienced guy a few times to learn some tricks and tips. I'm forever grateful for my friend with a Lund and my Father with his boat taking me out on trips to fish. I learned a lot....... So, good fishing to you.

Thank you. What about open water suspended crappie. Would that be in summer ? What are the likely forage fish in the lake ?Thank you again, I really appreciate your advice.... Ted

Need a couple of locations to get the Grandchildren some crappie action. Where to launch the boat, I have no idea. Thanks, Ted Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Never got on Oneida lake. I'd like to target crappie. Any information ? Just a spot or two to get started. I don't know anything. Thanks, Ted Albany NY Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hello, I received eight plastic/vinyl gimbals for a dual mount, Cannon downrigger rod holder.The two rod holders attach to the gimbal. All these gimbals cracked to pieces, even the ones Cannons experts 🤣 sent to us. The other downrigger has an aluminum gimbal with no problems. Could someone please check their junk drawer for an aluminum one? (Gimbal). We can work out the details later. Thank you, TFB

Oh yeah they do bite through socks. I was just saying I'd put whatever I want to try on my socks. I checked for catnip oil. 3 ounces pure for $129.00 , to much for me. Hmm, at Pet Smart stores they have a diluted 3 ounce spray of catnip oil. I think I'll try that first on my socks. Probably safe on skin too. $9.99 -
