    How would you ship ? In cooler with dry ice ? Overnight ? And can you give an estimate of shipping 10 six packs to 13601 ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    There must be interference from electronics or the magnets on speakers. Ritchie compasses can be adjusted. There are two screws on the base. You can google the instructions Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That’s right. The upper Great Lakes are the faucet and the St Lawrence River is the drain if the faucets are running full blast , the drain needs to be wide open or you have a flood

    That’s The reason the draw down starts in Jan. The St. Lawrence seaway needs to keep the level high in the channels. Shipping season ends on Dec 31. Then the draw down starts. Way too late to help Lake O Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That doesn’t sit well with the Seaway boys that want shipping to continue as far into winter as possible. It’s all about the $$$$. If they drop the level, the ships can’t carry as much cargo and money is lost There is much more to this than we will ever know Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I spent 3 hours at the hatchery today. Lucky13 ‘ s take us right on Beaverdam brook was devoid of fish except for about 20 kings at the mouth of the ladder. They said the egg take is on track , but I’ve been going to the hatchery virtually every year for the past 10 or so , and this is the sparsest run I have witnessed.

    You can calibrate ( on paper) your counters with any rigger or cable. Have boat in neutral ( drifting ). Let out a certain # of feet of cable and check your counter against your sonar ( be sure rigger cable is straight down ) Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Talk about bringing back memories. The Rhinegold fire dept sponsored field days and tube races. Rode the river many times both as a registered team member and a pirate. Almost drowned in the black hole one year Don’t know where that raft of tubes came from , but it saved my life Been fishing the lake since the mid 70’s and one thing is for sure. It is a different fishery now than 40 years ago Some bad some very good Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Lmao. I wish they would bring snagging back for just a week. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen. We would stand on the bridges and watch these guys , most of them drunk , snag a fish , cross 20 or 30 lines , fall down in the river , fights all over. Fishing ?

    Next project autopilot. My GLS 220 is a manual steering mercruiser Alpha 1. Any bodily have input on autopilots ? I don’t intend to change to hydraulic. I’m looking at the Octopus system. Yea or nay ? My bungee cord autopilot works but doesn’t hold a course very well. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. chinook35
    If the system has been dry for a long time the wheel cylinders are probably all rusted up. You’ re too far away for me anyway. I’m in Watertown NY thanks anyway

    Storms can and do sneak up on you I was out of Sandy Pond with my 12 year old son some years ago. The eastern sky suddenly went dark as night. Constant lightening We would have had to run directly into it to get back to the inlet. The rods in their rod holders suddenly started buzzing and crackling I told my son to put on his pfd as did myself. Told him no matter what don’t touch the rods. Put down the vhf antenna. In hindsight , I wonder about that decision. If we needed to call a mayday . But it was a high point on the boat. Anyway. We sat there 15 miles from shore and watched nervously. The storm came off the east shore and went directly north. Never reached us sigh of relief The neighbors called in cell to see if we were ok. Sandy Island Beach Rd.got 3 inches of rain out of it. They can sneak up on you. Not a fun experience Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
