  1. Put your boat on an incline on the trailer. Put a hose in the gas tank all the way to the bottom in the back part of the tank. Siphon the water out until gas starts coming out. Gas floats on water so you can get the gas out fairly easy this way.
  2. Lighter the winds, the longer if will take to mess up the lake.
  3. I'm selling a Penn 330GTI reel. It is 3 years old and in good condition. $50.00 local pick up or I will ship it to the lower 48 for an additional $10.00.
  4. Otters will not flip in very rough water................
  5. Fault line?
  6. Marine survey would have saved you the headaches. Leason learned.
  7. Nice job Rick! You might want to put alarms on your boat to keep us from putting Chicken Troller across the back when you are at Sandy for the Shootout!
  8. I think it is funny that a couple of guys are questioning Vince's observations. The guy spends more time on Lake Ontario watching a fish finder than most will in a decade. I would take Vinces opinions and observations over a couple of guys that fish Lake Ontario a couple times a year.
  9. Thanks Les. Too bad Pat is moving South! Great man!
  10. 6/22 Left the creek at 515 and stayed in close for browns. We did 5 browns in the first hour and gave up due to the excessive amount of green moss floating and fouling everything up. We ran out to 150 fow and set up for kings. In the first 10 minutes, a rod parked at 35 fired with a small king. 10 minutes later, the rod parked at 50 with a NBK, took off and a nice ariel show followed. We ended up boating a 12lb 9 oz steelhead. After not moving a rod for an hour, we headed to the laker grounds. We found a blank screen on all of my usual weight points. We tried one last spot and found a ton of active lakers. We did a bunch of fish but the biggest we could find was 15lbs 12oz. By the end of the day, the steelhead and laker made the board. 6/23 We started the day inside looking for browns again and pulled one fish quickly before abandoning the program due to moss again. Today it was not all over the surface but it was stratified throughout the water column! We ran out to laker waters and caught a good number of lakers including a 20lb 8oz. laker that currently sits in 3rd place.
  11. Thanks guys. Added a 20lb 8oz laker to the mix today.
  12. They need to do some thinning in the rochester area!
  13. The charter fleet runs otters because the will not flip over. They have to fish in crappy conditions. All ski style boards can flip over in really rough stuff and cause chaos in rough seas.
  14. Pretty interesting that you see way more otter boats on Lake Ontario than Amish boards. Go around and look the charter boats and see what they are running!
  15. To figure out if it is a fuel issue, get a 6 gallon tank and hook it up to the motor. Use fresh gas. If it runs like crap, you can throw the bad fuel issue out the window.
  16. lol. I have been saying for years he is a closet laker fisherman!
  17. Otter boats with dual keels will out perform any other board out there. They do not flip, pull hard and track awesome. Adding a dual keel and using a tape measure to make sure the rope lengths are correct is not rocket science.
  18. You too Shawn!
  19. I liked not having the big fish. More money in the pot for the teams that excelled on tourney day. Anyone can get lucky and catch a big fish.
  20. No reason why both can't have it mounted. Reproductions can be made and both people can have a mount. I have the skin mount of the 34lb laker caught on my boat and Kurt might get around to having a reproduction done some day!
