Where is the "Shelf" on Lake Ontario?

[Keith K]

I keep hearing chatter on the Ship to Shore radio channel 9 about charters heading for the Shelf. 

 

Where is the Shelf? Where is it in relation to the Stony Point Light House.  I just recently found out that Os or Oz means Oswego. 

 

Thanks for helping helping a new guy.

Maybe you mean “ the wall”. It’s in the shipping lanes between Gallo Is. and main Duck Is. long run. You can find it on your gps if you pan out there.

I think this will vary with person to person. There’s a shelf out straight from Mexico point toward Oswego. There’s also a long shelf up by Henderson harbor that guys fish Lakers for.

That’s what the charter captains and veterans from Henderson call “ the wall”. It’s been called that for years
