Kev I wired up a new Bilge pump and took the old one out and I noticed that the boat had 2 bilge pumps and both did not work.. I tested the new pump in the garage and hit the water.. After about 20 minutes I had considerable water coming in the back of the boat.. after getting down in there trying to fix the situation noticed that the one bilge pump was not a bilge pump..It was an Aerator so its plumbed solid through the back of the boat and I took the discharge hose off the aerator and put it on the new bilge.... So water just poured in the boat....... The positive out of all of this is the new Bilge works Great.... Ive never owned a boat with a Aerator..... Now I know.........

Mike Nice report......

John I trolled in front of Hughes last week for Smallies in 20 to 25fow with zero Success... I messed around for an hour... I did a sweet 4lb Smallie last year jigging and I love that fight....... Woody

Coup nice report.......

First rod was in the water by 400pm. Port Rigger fired with a Screamer down 88 over 90 with a black NK Mag with purple stripe.. Boated a 21lb King... friend of mines biggest fish.... We had to deal with a minor issue of the boat almost sinking.. Fixed that after 30 minutes of Macgyvering it up... Back fishing multiple rips on the Black NK Mag with purple Stripe had that on both riggers.. next was same rigger same lure over 98fow and boated a nice Steelie 9lbs. Released that to fight again.. Then port Wire rod out 280 went towing black with green dot Spin Doc with Attomik Songin Fly...(I like that Fly.... Sweet fly) Boated a nice 14lb Laker.... Got rerigged then same port rigger fired with same lure 88 down over 105fow.. Boated a nice 3 to 4lb brown... Then the Starboard wire out 260 went with Yellow NBK Spin doc with Attomik Mirage fly.. Boated a nice 12lb laker... Lost a Screamer on the Port side wire out 280 newbie on the rod and gave to much slack.. That had the same setup never changed lures... Didnt need to fish were whacking everything.. The Screen looked awesome last night.. We were loaded back on the Trailer by 800pm.. ====================

Nick was that a Eagle Claw rod...... I had that happen 3 years go on a wire rod he was fighting a nice King and it snapped in the same spot.... Woody

Mike nice report..... You hooked a Ton of fish today...... Awesome.....

Jimmy never thought about that. Thanks for the information... Its like when the Cormorants invaded the area wanted to blast a few of them and you cant there Federally Protected... Thanks Mike Im not sure if I could waste a perch fillet like that.. Maybe a sun fish....

I have been using Forschner Fillet Knives for years doing Deer Processing an absolutely incredible knife Super Durable and incredibly Sharp... There is no other knife for the price that I will use... Except for Skinning Deer then I have a nice Remington blade that comes with a Sheath for $30 online....... Woody

I have found a better hookset without the Snubbers.. Ran them for the first year with the wire rods and then went straight no snubbers and more hookups....Just my 2 cents

Guys I have a quick question that Stimulated my peabrain the other day.. I was jigging Lake O the other day and snagged a few Gobies and they were good sized.... I was thinking about filleting them to work in a Meat Rig or Sushi setup... I know it aint an Alewife but wondered how it would work.... Anybody ever try this before????.. Thanks Woody

Wayne nice report...... Another awesome thing to see is the evening bite... The Screen lights up with Bait and Fish and you got Streakers all over the Screen..... You can point at rods and say get ready that ones gonna go and sure enough... ITS INSANE!!!!!!.... I Love our Fishery... Woody

LOL but True........ Don't tell my kids....

Hermit and Chug the other day was my maiden voyage. I had planned on hitting Canandaigua but with the 4th of July I figured I would just stay clear away till monday.. so I figured I would troll for a few hours in between kids doctors appointments and other kid commitments.. But the Lake was whitecapping and to windy to troll so I brought all my jigging stuff and seen some nice hooks and bait on bottom in 85fow so I tried but the wind just kept blowing me off the fish.... Great Screen on the fishfinder but could not get the jig to the bottom.. If I can get a calm morning I know I can produce on Lake Ontario........ Woody P.S I would Love a 25lb King on a jig.... Sounds like a Challenge.

Hermit nice report... I tried jigging lake O the other day but the wind was pushing me like 1.8 sog on the GPS... I tried holding my ground with my trolling motor but could not do it.... I could see nice fish on the bottom with bait balls around just too Windy..... Woody

Nice Dave...... How did you get hooked up with him..... Dale

Mike Nice Report... I tried headng out of Hughes at noon but the ake was starting to whitecap so I stayed in close and called around 400pm.... Thanks to NOAA with another failed weather report.... They said 1 foot or less......Yeah NO....

Tom, Tell Dustin to enjoy his time at Rushford.... I spent a week there about 25 years ago and I learned a ton.... I made some good friends and if I had a boy he would be heading down for the Experience........... My girls do not have that desire at all....... Woody
