W.W.IV.

How do you feel about the nusence permits?I don't think shooting deer and leaving them there to rot is the right thing to do. I think the farmers should let the hunters do that during the season then the meat would get used .The so called hunters that kill them during the summer are the one's that will be screaming the loudest when they can't find deer in the fall. Sorry,didn't mean to open a can of worms.

Hey guys,I noticed the same things this season. I Hunt down at Hector in the Federal Forest. This year my two honey holes were all most void of deer, hunted Sunday to Friday without seeing a deer. Maybe my right guard let me down. By the way it was bow season. The first evening I left my stand at dusk and a pack of coyotes cut loose and raised hell in there. I'm not going to blame the slow hunting on the yots I hunted the Truxton area for years and they didn't hurt my hunting and they have a lot of them. The mass crops were down where I hunted, they also pound the hell out of the area from the first day of gun to the end of black powder. Throw in a bad winter or two and there goes the hunting for a while. Maybe. Hey, we might be getting to good at what were doing. We had a lot of hi wind warm weather this season and I don't think that helps anything. Well I did get a heavy six pt. the first day of gun so theres no tears in my eyes. Good luck to all of you the rest of the season, Hunt safe. Mike.

Hey CruzC fiber glass is porous so you have to seal it or the surface will bubble up and then you will have to refinish it. stick with your plan and have it painted. Good luck with the new boat it looks like a winner.

G-B Have you got good surface speed on board like a good depth finder? You may not need a plate or bags. Just a thought, it might save you a buck or two.

ScottB, Last time out About two weeks ago I made the rounds on the bay and didn't do anything.Fished the buoys a little while, got about eight keepers on jigs and fatheads in 6-8fow. Glad you did well Sat. I'm going to give it a try during the week but then I've got to get some meat in the freezer with the bow. I hope the perch are not on a decline,we've had over 10 years off good perch fishing. Good luck and good fishing.

Sorry Tom,I didn't mean to scare anyone. Hay that was his good side. You think Walmart will be selling whale suits for Halloween??? Maybe Blue Eyes can delete it before Skeiner or Fishstix see it.

I started fishing the bay late Aug.-Sept., the fishing was very good for about three weeks then it slowed up. the only place we could get perch was around the buoys. They weren't in the rest of the bay. The old honey holes were dead. I thing the main school is still in the lake.(eating gobes).

There you are Bob,that the whale there talking about? Looks like Buffy to me. Fisherman I had to throw the camera away the batteries melted after that shot......... Hi buffy, now the world knows.

Try agin Muskie.

GB..Fill your tank before you go out, fish till you've had enought or till your down to half a tank and head back to port. Fill the tank and see how much gas you used for the time you were out. Keep the tank full when you store the boat. Good luck with the fishing.

Mornimg Pat, I use to charter out of Sodus bay but I sold the boat when the fishing went bad in the 90's. I'm back to a 16ft. lund now so I don't fish the big lake much. Now I fish anywhere the truck will take me. Good luck with the big guys, the perch are biting and deer season isn't far off, thats where I am. Surf and turf. Catch you later.

Good work Pat, sounds like you had a good time.BTW I guess you work with my son Mike so I thought I'd say hello and keep up the good work. Mike.

Looks like the nuke plant at Oswego.

Normally you don't have to replace the hubs unless you burn up the bearings and tear up the races. If you went three years and have not replaced the bearings jack the trailer up and spin the wheel and listen for noise like grinding and check for slop in the wheel. If you get noise pull the wheels and replace the bearing. Check the bearing races for ware,if there smooth they should be all right. Pack the bearing with grease before you put them back together. If your not a do it yourselfer take it to a dealer and have it done. As long as you grease before a trip you shouldn't have a problem. Its good to have a spare hub if you burn the bearings on the road. I think new bearing come with the hub, if they don't get them to. Good luck on the lake.

I had one on my boat, Liked what it did thats way I bought it. they don't make it any more the probes leaked and if you put them into very cold water condensation formed inside the probe and killed it. I wouldn't spent any money buying used parts you mite find out there,it would be a waist of good cash. You mite be able to put standard down rigger cable on it and use it for a down rigger if the computer works. I thank the 110v may have killed it to. Thats why it was buryed in the garage.

If you slow the idle down you can use 40wt. oil to keep the oil pressure up. If you hear rattling noises (the bearings) up the idle and use a plate or pull a bag Or try the different prop like B.V. or Jimski said.

Thats to much trouble Ray.Take the power winch of the front of your four wheeler and put the copper on it,then just hit the on switch. Hook up a limit switch and the lures will turn it off .

Happy birthday Sonny. You don't feel Any older when they call you an old fart or old timer but wait till you walk into the tackle shop and some old fart calls you young man, then you know your there. Happt birth Ray. ....MIke.

Thanks Capt. nothing changes if you want to know what the lake is doing you have to go to the shore. Hope the rest of your season goes well. Capt Mike Ret'd. LO.

Well mister fireplug you maid a great choice, you can fish till your hearts content and the bigO is waiting for you and you most likely will get all the help you need from this board. Ask and you will receive. Read the past posts and it won't be long you will have a good Idea what to do. Each port is different Have fun.

Capt. John,I'd say you did well and the 19 places ahead of you were glad you didn't weight in your morning catch. I'd like to try for eyes out there.What is a faverable wind dereaction for a 16ft.boat? Thanks.... Mike.

Chaos,are you able to drop the managers name, I have a good friendthere thats manager of fishing dept. If its him I'll give him a call and thank him for the new hat. Mike..WW--
