  1. We were on the southern end of Cayuga last week end and the water temps were in the mid 40's until you got to ithaca and then they were 50
  2. In my opinion these gas prices are going to continue to escalate until demand drops appreciably. Then they will just level out. Its going to years to repair the damage done and until then crude is going to be in short supply
  3. I went to a 4 day work week, 125 mile commute and one day's gas savings is noticible
  4. I will be heading to my house in the finger lakes for a couple weeks early may and plan on getting out on Ontario. How late in the season do people run planers for trout and salmon? Am I wasting my time and space hauling them up there?
  5. I was there last weekend and it was frozen as much if not more than it was two weeks ago
  6. Nobody passes troopers on the thruway, they are normally traveling well in excess of the post speed limit even in non-emergency situations (no lights or sirens) just because they never get called out on it. I travel the thruway very often and set my cruise right at 79mph and cruisers consistently blow by me going 90-100 mph
  7. I am looking for the replacement cable for an older Cannon fish and temp that uses the coated cable. The coating on mine is cracked and peeling off
  8. One more time , im sure I am screwing this up somehow
  9. I will be up for a week in mid September to do some bass fishing and have a couple questions. I plan on fishing drop shots and Carolina rigs as I normally do well on that presentation in the fall for both smallmouth and largemouth. What colors are people using for worms/grubs and is it better to head north or south on the lake at this time of year. I am centrally located a couple miles from deans cove but obviously willing to trailer to a different launch.
  10. Square tail and mouth ends before it goes past the eye. Brown Trout
  11. Thats bullcrap on the insurance, they are trying hard not to pay out. A quick letter from a lawyer and he will get covered.
  12. My friend has a 140 yamaha 4 stroke and a 10hp mercury 4 stroke kicker on his.
  13. Got up this weekend to open the house for the summer and do some fishing. Fished the south west side Friday am and put a couple small salmon on the boat before motoring overt to the east side and picking up a couple nice rainbows on the fly rods. Went back to the east side saturday morning and it was game on. Trolled fly rods with gray ghosts and purple smelt flies and purple/ copper spoons on the planer boards went 10/15 on salmon and rainbows. Best fish was a 4-5 lb salmon and most were in the 3-4 lb range. Most fish came on the flies. before we got chased off by the wind around 1.

  14. You cant and shouldn't run the government like a business. That makes the government the boss and the taxpayer the employee. It should be the other way around. If all they are judged by is "making a profit" Then you know the citizens are going without so the government can be profitable. The government should be there to serve all the people not just those that can afford the services provided through taxation. This isn't really an audit. Audits require professional auditors and a review of the findings. Right now this is just somebody pointing out things they don't like and calling it fraud.
  15. Well I finally did it and bought my house between Seneca and Cayuga lakes. I am about 3 miles from Deans cove and 6 miles from Sampson so it looks like a great location to get some fishing in. I have fished the lakes a lot in the mid eighties and always did well on rainbows in Seneca and lake trout wherever you wanted to catch them. I am sure that things have changed a bunch since then with the zebra mussels and changing environmental conditions. I am just looking for a hint or two on when to get out for some salmon/rainbow fishing early spring. Is one lake more consistent than the other and should I head north or south? I do have the option of trailering to any other launches. Is it mainly a trolling fly bite or the spoons?
