Try Google... Frontenac Fowlers guide service...Union Springs

Oneida is not a Fingerlake... probably Otisco

Better give Sully and Mulder a call...  too weird

Invest in a Minn Kota bow motor with "I pilot" ... it will steer the boat for you. I fish alone and never touch the other lines or the wheel when I hook up. Best money that I put into my boat.

Unbelievable...

On erie the 9.9 is the main set up for tournament style boats. Most guys run there kicker just above idle or whatever speed they want and just lock it to steer straight then use the ipilot for steering and spot lock. My 9.9 mercury I have to walk back to the end of the boat to see the exhaust stream to hear it running. You'll use way less gas and help keep alot of hours off the big motor and maintenance is alot cheaper also.

Definitely the best setup. Both from an efficiency standpoint and a safety standpoint out on big water. Sure its a bit more expensive but may save you in the long haul if you are out often.

I troll the fingerlakes mostly in all types of conditions from flat to heavy chop in 10-15 MPH winds using an 80lb thrust Terrova with I pilot. I run my 115 Vmax SHO at idle at 2.2 to 3.5 MPH and the Terrova has no problems maneuvering the boat at all. (18' Starcraft ). I run just the bow motor when I want to keep at 2.0MPH or below

Known this guy for 15 years...always dodged getting his picture taken, hates it. That day he asked...twice!

Hope you have him hooked on trolling. 

First thing he did after calming down was ask about going out on Ontario for Salmon...

What a bluebird day it was.... took a buddy out for a few hours that had never lake fished... he went 2 for 4 with a beauty 25 inch 5.5lb bow...

Great video...that temp reading cant be correct though? Thats 45°F

On Seneca today, South end, large debris in middle of Lake including most of a tree 

Friends on several of the lakes are reporting similar stuff. Its to be expected with 7 inches of rain in some areas.

Use Caution the next few days... loads of large debris.   Owasco this morning in just one spot.

Too weedy, too warm, too shallow. Most of it is like 10' or less, the deepest point is 13'... Lake Neatawhana
