    Gave a call to Hughes to see if they're open to launching but no answer. Anyone know if they have closed the launch or if its still open with all this craziness?

    The dock was not in at the south end as of last saturday. Maybe someone else has been there between now and then?

    Curious to know what your water temp was.

    Does anyone use bead chain for connecting mainline to leader when trolling spring browns? Are there specific times to use beadchain vs a simple ball bearing swivel?

    Itching to get back out there!

    Maybe a silly question but just wondering how everyone stores their rods between fishing outings. Do you leave them rigged in a safe place so no one gets hooked or dissasemble to an extent? To what extent do ppl dissasemble and when do you re-rig? New leaders/swivels etc?

    Congrats! Would that bayrat happen to be Esmerelda? Black back and green belly? If so, just bought a couple.

    So I guess instead of using the boat at a launch on Canandaigua this weekend with the family, we will fish the Canandaigua city pier where anyone and everyone will be strolling by. Theres no way this can even be enforced alot of places in our state. What If I had a boat docked on personal property? I wouldnt need a boat launch in that situation. Can I still use it?

    First time out fishing Lake Ontario browns for my boy and I. Ended up 5 of 6. Had a great time with him out there. Fish hit Rapala F-11 gold and silver sticks as well as a Bay Rat filthy pouch. Water was 45/46 degrees. All bites between 10-15 fow. Trolled 1.75-2 mph.

    My 8 yo boy and I are chomping at the bit to try some lake o trolling for browns very soon. Boat is out of storage and just about ready to go. I've fished a good amount in the bays on eastern lake o where theres protection from the main lake. I'm a little nervous about going out on the main lake for the first time or driving up and not being able to go. Hoping to make it a good first experience for him and I. Do you guys have any wind recommendations or suggestions on what to look for with the weather? I have a 17 ft starcraft with 90 hp motor. The launches I would most likely use are Hughes and Sodus. Was even thinking of going tomorrow morning. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm from up that way originally. Not sure if theres still ice on chaumont by or not but the perch should be biting. Might be some steelhead in black river right in dexter or some of the other tribs around there.

    Sounds like a productive trip. I'm in the same boat (lol) so to speak. Time for me to head up there and try it as well. What lures/colors did they hit on? Congrats!

    Thanks for the help guys! Hope to get into a few within the next month or so.

    Does Hughes charge to launch?

    I'm looking to get out for my first lake O browns this spring. I'll be traveling from Canandaigua. What would some of the closest launches be that anyone would recommend? Is there a launch in Pulteneyville? Any help is appreciated

    Had a good last day for second split. Also got a few mergs that were in the other boat. Cant wait till next season. Hopefully the weather is more seasonable next year.

    Everyone keeps bringing up the crowds on Canandaigua. Being it's my home lake i've gotten used to the crowds at the launch. Get there early and get out of there before noon to avoid the launch as it turns into a zoo. Waiting in a line in the launch canal that stretches out to the lake really burns me. Maybe it's time I hit up Seneca or Keuka. Love fishing Canandaigua when the crowds arent a factor. My son and I only fished Sunday catching one fish that tied for second in the Laker division for a little bit. He was pretty excited. Maybe we'll get out both days next year if theres no lacrosse tournament the same weekend. Glad some guys had a good derby, congrats to the winners!

    Livewell question There is a Bow and Stern livewell on my "new to me" 2002 StarCraft. The stern livewell works fine when I push the button, however, when I push the button to the bow livewell the indicator light doesn't turn on and the pump doesn't turn on. The breaker right below the switch pops out shortly after trying to turn the pump on. The same switch has an aerator option when I switch it downward. When I turn on aerator switch down the pump works and the breaker doesn't trip. Am I doing something wrong or is this an electrical problem? I disconnected the cartridge, touched the wires to a battery and the cartridge works. My next idea is to change the breaker out. Any ideas or thought would be greatly appreciated!

    Basspro, I never knew the DEC to be drilling in the old Wegmans parking lot. When was that? I know a company has been cleaning up contamination in the parking lot and they are being held to the DEC regulations...

    Thanks for the help guys! I'm hoping to be able to reel my next rigger fish instead of hand line!
