3/3

We are going to try today. Anyone still trying out in 350-500' range? Or just inside for stagers.

Been up several times and cut nadda. Any tips?

Ttt

$600 obo. Going to take it off the boat next week and put it into storage.

OBO

What did the dive team pull out of the lake in front of the winery?

No. You have to mix it with the gas in the tank.

Looking to sell this 40 HP force. Far as I know My dad's friend bought it new and then eventually upgraded and gave this boat to my dad... Who at some point really messed the hull up with a hill billy patch... The motor seems to start easy. I was told it ran good before my dad had a stroke and could no longer take this death traps out. Trim works like a charm. Not sure what it's worth with the trim but going to start at $1000 obo. Located in Interlaken. VID_20250523_142326306.mp4

Didn't have a working scale and I would normally through a fish like this back but I couldn't get it to quit bleeding. It was hooked where the main gill blood vessel was. Bright orange meat. Caught it in 20fow on a Sutton fixed hook spoon.

How many is a "bunch" because the majority of the community disagrees and so does the weigh in weights... You can look at the weights from past to now. They have steadily decreased in size. Whatever. I won't post anymore about the health of the lake. Denial rules these forms

Lakes dead. No one wants to fish it for 3 days and catch under 10 fish. Lampreys are bigger then the fish we caught last year and the year before. Brad Hammers refuses to do anything for the lake even with anglers reporting dead fish and red algae growing on the pike. White algae growing on the perch.... Last 12 years Seneca has been very poor fishing. Some will argue it's good if you put the time into it. I've put a lot of time into it. It's easily proven that the quality/quantity of fish are down. Maybe the DEC should put some effort into stocking or research to improve lake conditions. It's been at least 12 years the lake has been slowly turning into a bait tank. As far as Sampson. It could have stayed the way it was. Sessler ruined the natural beauty of the area for money that they clearly already have enough of..

I caught a couple 5 years ago out in the middle of the channel just before dark but have never been able to truly figure them out. I have fished after dark several times. Not too late but till 7 pm. A group of us caught perch way after the sun goes down but we can't figure out the crappie. Any tips would be great. My goal this winter is to catch a legal crappie.

It has rod knock on cylinder 5. I have to pull the head and see if the valve hit the piston. But was running good for being 1970. Suddenly after that happened it's got the knock... Going to wait till winter and pull the motor. I still need to do a compression test and leak down to see if it needs to rebuild the whole thing or if I can get away with just a lower end build. Hopefully the crank can just be polished a little and a new bearing put in. But with my luck I doubt it.

So I bought another cheap fuel pump just to see what the pin looked like that held the cam tang or pump lever what ever it's called... Hex head... OEM was rounded studs with resin over one end to stop it from coming out.... Now that it took almost 4 or 5 weeks to get the new one... I gotta put it in and see if in lifters/valves got bent or any cam damage... Cheaper part may have caused and expensive lesson

Rounded over threaded stud came out of tang and mashed all the threads. Now my boat has rod knock.... Not very happy
