  1. Sean - thank you VERY MUCH!!! andre
  2. I rarely make the haul to watkins, so i don't know what hotel you are referring to. Will someone please let me know the name of the hotel and what road it is on? thanks, andre
  3. Tom, thanks so much for the link to he MODIS imagery of Lake Ontario - it's really awesome to have access to such photos. Notice how white and featureless the photos are since the snowstorm yesterday! andre
  4. thanks very much for the info!!! andre
  5. hey Ken, thanks for that great photo - where did you find it? andre
  6. I am unfamiliar with the village marina launch near the hotel. Will someone let me know where that is? Given the mention of that launch, am i correct in presuming that the launch on boat launch road off of 414 (in the creek/river) is not open? thanks, andre
  7. I'm hoping to fish the south end of seneca this weekend, but watkins is more than 90 minutes each way for me. I'd hate to get there and have it be frozen. Does anyone know if it's open? thanks, andre
  8. Gill-T, that's a great photo - where did you get it? (i'm curious what the ice on lake O looks like now!) andre
  9. when i go to the ADKs, i usually sleep in sacks in a tent, and that may be what we do in canada, but we may splurge or a cabin etc - not sure at this point. thanks to all for your input! andre
  10. Hi all, I originally posted this in the fingerlakes section and someone recoemmended i post it here - that i would likely get a different set of eyes and opinions: My buddy and i have decided to take our first fishing trip to canada this summer - most likely somewhere in Ontario or Quebec, but open to other possibilities. My first step of research is simply to ask you all for input. We want a wilderness experience and good fishing, and cost is an issue (not sure we can afford a fly). We want to do it ourselves (i.e., not a guided trip). Have any of you had trips up there you would recommend? Also, this summer, the only time we could go is june. If July or August is better (for example, black flies or something else i;m not aware of), we will likely postpone til next summer. thanks for your input, andre

  12. Hi Les, thanks very much for confirming my suspicion! Is your boat winterized or will you fish through the winter? happy holidays, andre
  13. I'm hoping to get out in the next few days - i'm guessing i can't launch at Woodville - right? thanks, andre
  14. My least favorite thing about deer hunting is that i tend to fish so little during deer season. I still hope to get one more deer in the freezer before Muzzleloader ends tuesday, and then i hope to fish Canandaigua ASAP. I'm guessing the south end (woodville launch) is frozen over - correct? thanks for any current info, dre
  15. Tg8 - how did the Burbot taste? congrats on an awesome, rare catch!!! andre
  16. hey Les, thanks for the heads up. I wonder if there are still some rocks in all that muck. Last year i ruined a prop at about 2-3 mph about 15-20 yds from the ramp. dre
  17. that 3rd photo looks like a monster steelie - how much did it weigh? andre
  18. everyone - thank you so much for all your input - you guys ROCK!

I think Les is right on with this, but i still like to have some charts as a reference point, and steelydan and others really helped me out thanks again, dre
  19. I've been running my wire dipsey rods without twillie tips and need to get some, but i can't find them anywhere - even on the web. Does anyone know where i can order some? thanks, dre
  20. Hi all, i had my first 2 trips of the year on lake O yesterday and today and they were great (by my standards). Sat - went our of sandy creek and caught 6 kings (up to 32#) and 3 steelies (up to 10#) 400-500fow and some on wire dipsey (size #1) on a 0 setting out 300 feet. today i went out of i-bay and got 4 kings - all low to upper 20s - around 200 fow all on on wire dipsey (size #1) on a 2 setting out 330 feet. the dive charts i have stop at 150 feet of line out does anyone have a dive curve/depths for the #1 dipsey (ideally for settings 0, 1, 2, & 3) and also ideally for wire - i know the charts that come with the dipsey are less deep that the same feet out with wire. if you don't have such a chart, can you estimate how deep a wire dipsey (size #1) on a 2 setting out 330 feet is? and a wire dipsey (size #1) on a 2 setting out 330 feet? thanks very much, andre
  21. HI All, i mostly fish the fingerlakes but like to hit Lake O at least once each year for some bigger fish. I usually fish out of sandy creek. my experience is that the bite is usually very early and then not much else happens after 9:30 or 10a. Is that your experience too? I'm wondering if i should fish all day or do what i normally do (fish from first light till 10 or 11a then call it a day) thanks, dre PS - from reading the posts, it seems the temps have been moving a lot - any idea what depths the kings are now/tomorrow?
  22. you're funny Chuck! that's a good ideer, only that prize money is already gone - a new VRO fuel pump, new head gasket, new truck and trailer tires more than ate it up!!!
  23. Hi all, i have a humminbird 570 that won't power up. I know it's the unit and not connections, because i have one on each boat and the other unit works on both mounting brackets. Humminbird charges a $75 service fee to repair it. Do any of you know of someone able to do such repairs and if they are cheaper than that? thanks, andre
