    Launched at 6:00 am and headed straight out. Saw 2 other boats around 150'. We stopped there and began searching. We left the boards home because they were going to be a total pain to deal with in the significant WNW wind that was forecast (NOT!). It was a little rough when we started but the lake actually calmed as the morning went. We marked fish sporadically - some down 50', some on bottom down 180' or so. We ran 2 dipsies and 3 rigger lines. Trolled between 100' and 300' of water trying to move a rod with almost no action. Saw some boats running boards and regretted leaving ours as the lake was fine. About 10:00 we decided that perhaps there were fish higher in the column that we weren't seeing with our fishfinder set to reach 250 or more, so we moved some baits high and had a steelhead hookup that hit at 25' and shot to the surface before we could even get the rod out of the holder (FUN)! We hooked up a couple more times with similar scenarios and we ended with 3 cohos and 2 steelhead. The largest was a thin, spawned out steelhead about 5 lbs. Not much size but good to put some silver on the deck. We flatlined out the side a couple deep divers, but they weren't probably down more than 6'. All of our hits came 20-35' down and in 235-255' of water. Nice day to be fishing out with my brother on the "new-to-him" boat.

    Great fish!

    Appreciate the report. We will get out later today and your intel really helps us formulate a plan. Hopefully we find some biting fish. Will report tonight.

    It would probably cost a lot to ship all these so where would they be available for pickup?

    Boat is now available for viewing at Arney's Marina in Sodus Point, NY. Please see post below for more info. This is my brother's boat and listing. I usually post our reports, and we fish this boat mainly out of Irondequoit Bay. 2005 Starcraft Cstar 186SC for sale with 90hp Mercury 2 stroke outboard and EZ loader Starcraft trailer. All purchased new as leftover in 2008 from Ballantyne Marine in Victor, NY. Only used about 300 hours over 5 seasons. Motor tuned up last year at Ballantyne, brand new spare tire added. This is an 18’5†boat with 89†beam. 32 gallon gas tank, 29 gallon livewell, two baitwells. Seats for five, could add pedestal seats if you wanted. Fishes four adults with gear very comfortably, capacity is 8 (1950 lbs.). Boat is registered in NJ, where I live, but has never seen the state. Only fished on Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes about 6 or 7 trips per year. Boat has always been stored inside in a pole barn in Wayne county, NY, and trailered to the lake. This is a great, versatile boat for the freshwater angler. Removeable, locking-swivel pedestal seats to accommodate various fishing configurations. Lots of storage, including a 7.5 ft. lockable compartment for rods. Nice large casting deck in bow, and the stern if you keep the seats folded down. I’ve used it almost exclusively as a troller, but can also be used as a bass/walleye boat,cruiser, etc. Trolls down to under 2 mph with the trolling plate without difficulty. Also included: Penn 800 series electric downriggers with swivel bases – these are great units (pair), have boom extensions Lowrance Elite 5 color Fishfinder/GPS unit 55 lb. Minnkota trolling motor in bow Bimini top (used very little) Full boat cover (trailerable) All of the equipment is in excellent condition. Boat and trailer are very clean, hull is in fantastic shape, just a small scratch or two. You’ll see some dust on the motor and trailer from being stored this winter. Carpet has some discoloration in spots (fish blood), and has some wear around a couple compartment lids, but overall it and the floor/deck are in excellent shape. The only thing I’ve broken on the boat is the lift handle for the livewell, so we fashioned a pull for that. NEW Price - $12,000. I should be able to show the boat to serious buyers the weekend of May 4th, in the Webster to Sodus area. Pictures are attached.

    For those wondering, in Quebec based on internet search.
  10. yukiginger
    How many of these lots do you have? I see a post on another board, that looks to be from you. You are asking a very different price over there. Looks like you had some interest as your last post there was on the 18th, the same day you joined here. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/f ... =2&start=1
  11. yukiginger
    Great! I'll wave if we pass, blueghost1.
  12. yukiginger
    I think my neighbor and I may share the water with you. We'll be in a 17' aluminum (no paint), high bow rail. Launch at north end. See you there! Hope we don't spoil it for you. Let's catch some fish!
  13. yukiginger
    We launched at 7:30 with Captain Larry Jones at the helm in 32 degrees. We trolled the north basin and at just shy of noon hooked up and landed this 45.5" beauty. My first muskie. My brother Matt had another one on an hour later but we never got a look at it as it came unbuttoned not far from the boat. Captain Larry put us on bait and fish all day. Hard to get them to go with the cold front in but he made it happen.

    Went 7 for 8 on rainbows in 150'-185' of water. Fished 7-11. Riggered spoons and flasher/fly combos fished off wire divers produced for us. Green was the hottest color. All fish taken 45'-55' down. We aren't too familiar with the geography down there, but we were a couple miles down the lake from the north launch. Most fish were taken near the east shore but we fished the middle and west also. Nice to fish a Finger when we usually hit the big lake for salmon and the larger trout. We fished Ontario on Friday (out of Irondequoit) but ended up skunked (had one on for 4 or 5 seconds is all). 55-75' of water showed tons of fish and bait but they suffered from a severe case of lockjaw (for us anyway). Nice to get down on Canandaigua and catch such pretty fish. Here's the biggest fish of the day - a 6 lb male. All the rest were clones about 3 lbs. Just a note on the launch at Canandaigua Lake State Marine Park: the fee is a vehicle fee, not a launch fee. I drove separately from my brother who was towing the boat. When we pulled out we each owed the $7. Quality launch and docks, though.

    Great post, wonderful pics and sentiments.
  16. yukiginger
    Wow, Larry, so you're saying that these combos were stowed away and the thieves overlooked the setups you had laying about and took only these? Thus, your suggestion that it must have been a client or someone knowledgeable about your equipment? Any bad client experiences lately? I assume that you did file a report with the local PD or Sheriff's Office.

    Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Jersey Star ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):7/23, Monday Time on Water:0600-1200 Weather/Temp:nice to HOT! Wind Speed/Direction:10 mph South to calm Waves: 2' and less Surface Temp:77 Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 2 Total Boated:2 Species Breakdown: 1steelhead, 1 brown Hot Lure: green Trolling Speed: 2.88-3.25 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 90-150 Lure Depth: 50-70 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Brother made the trip up from NJ for some Fair Haven camping (cabin site at the State Park). Launched at 0530. Started in 80' of water. Marked some hooks at 95' with no takers, but marked waypoint. Trolled out to 140' with almost blank screen. Hook here or there. 50 degree temp was down 50-60' generally. Finally had a hit on the 60' rigger at about 0900. Boated 6 lb. steelhead. Thin fish, but beautiful. 1/2 hour later a 5' brown on green/ladder spoon also on the 60' rigger. These were both in the 95' depth. Pretty stark overall. Fishing out of an 18' boat had us too skittish to head real deep. Saw some other boats working this area and deeper. Hope folks are connecting. Fish are definitely more scattered compared to our last outing of Hughes, a little west.

    Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Jersey Star ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):5/6 Time on Water: &:00-12:00 Weather/Temp: nice Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 3 Total Boated:2 Species Breakdown: One 8 lb steelhead and 15 lb king Hot Lure: none Trolling Speed: 2.75 avg over ground Down Speed: 2.1 avg Boat Depth: 85-100 Lure Depth: 5-90 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Headed straight out of the bay to 80' of water. Found fish in 90 or 95' and set a waypoint that we worked for the rest of the day. Never found much fish outside it. Fish there filled the column from 20' to bottom. Not much action considering the passes we made. Took the steelhead near the surface off boards with deep diver rapala black/silver. One more hit off the board natural/black gold. Took the king off rigger down 50' stinger blue/yellow spoon (nice to feel the king fight). Nothing after 10:00. Saw lots of boats in shallow working for browns in the dirty water. Hope they hooked up. Beautiful morning on the water.

    Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:yukginger/Jersey Star ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):3/18 Time on Water:0730-1045 Weather/Temp:beautiful Wind Speed/Direction:negligible Waves: Surface Temp: 42-45 Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 1 Total Boated:0 Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: 2.5-3.25 SOG Down Speed: Boat Depth: 10-30 Lure Depth: 3-20 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS To quote ScottB from another report - SUCKED! After yesterday's mild success to the east of the bay (and nothing west) we headed east of the Bay and trolled past Webster Park. Clear water all the way and sun (opposite of yesterday). We ran 6 lines today - one rigger at 5-15' depending on depth and one line out the back. Spoons on the rigger, sticks on the board lines. Boards with two lines each. Trolled 10-30' all day. Had one hit in 20' of water on a jointed Rap in gold/black but fish not home when we grabbed the rod. That's it. Beautiful morning on the water, but could have been perfect with some fish. Had eyes on 12-15 boats and didn't see one net move, but hopefully someone caught some. ====================
