    Port Ontario bait shop has been closed for several years . Woody’s is across Rt 3 from where PO was Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I got tired of chasing cut bait seems like the shops are always running out. I bought a case from A-Tom-Ick this spring. That should solve the problem Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    My guess is that the high ethenol gas has destroyed your phenolic float. You can buy a kit from iboats or west marine. I have rebuilt my mercarb and one for a friend. Not a bad job if you have any mechanical knowledge. You will need your carb number as there are early and late carbs. And you will need to buy the new float separately, as it doesn’t come with the kit

    Is it a Rochester or Mercarb ? Sounds like it’s not getting enough air. Is the choke stuck on ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    This is untrue. The CG encourages you to carry expired flares along with current unexpired flares

    The electronic devices meet nighttime requirements ONLY. You still need daytime signaling devices on board during daylight operation CG regulations state “ 1 handheld orange smoke device and 2 floating orange smoke devices in addition to the electronic signaling device Check out uscgboating.org Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That’s NY ‘s requirements , which are different than federal requirements. Both must be observed in NY waters the DEC will use NY requirements , the CG will follow federal laws Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    One word of caution re: 12 gage flares and launcher They are considered a weapon in Canadian waters and are illegal. If you plan on fishing Canadian waters , leave the flare gun at the dock Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Wolf Island is in the St. Lawrence River in the Canadian side across from Cape Vincent it is an eyesore , especially at night when the hundreds of red anti collision lights are flashing. You are correct that the skyline is affected. Driving property values down. At least having the turbines on Galloo island minimizes any spill concerns. The big problem for fishermen and casual boaters is the 30 mile underwater cable that will run to Oswego. Will it affect the fishing ? Will there be an exclusion zone for boaters ? No answers to these questions so far Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile appby the way. That underwater cable will run through some of the best fishing waters on the East end of the lake. Hate to be bouncing bottom for oil cans ( lake trout ) and snag that cable. That would be shocking. Makes me concerned about an exclusion zone

Never a problem. I have a 760 in .308. Love it. The list goes on. I am a Remington man. If they go the way of the dinosaur , it will be a sad day Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I used the arm of the rigger to get a rough level. A bubble level would be useless on a rolling pitching boat. The angle is close with this method. Not perfect

    I made up charts years ago that I used with a simple protractor from the store. This was before I got a probe that shows actual depth. It’s a real eye opener to see how much cable you need to deploy to reach a specified depth. I now use 16 # torpedoes. MUCH less blowback as son as I can dig out my tackle bag I will take pics and post them. Hope it will help

    Your sonar (distance finder) will show the distance your weight is from the transducer. It does not mean you are trolling at that depth Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    There is NO right of way on the water. There are stand on and give way vessels. ALL vessels must take any and all actions necessary to avoid a collision read the rules of navigation put out by CG /Homeland Security Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    The Oneida river drains Oneida Lake it joins the Seneca and Oswego at Three Rivers. The Oswego empties into Oswego harbor. So any flooding in Oneida lake could only add to the woes of Lake O Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
