  1. Agreed i was thinking the same and right by Mexico may be ok but selkirk is real close. See that new sat photo posted....it correlates with that photo. Any NE wind and it might shift. Id go to oswego just to be on the safe side Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. Yeah so i found this posted yesterday....view from selkirk of an ice field. Combine that with the satellite image posted on here the other day and i might call it dicey. South shore might be open if enough south wind is going but i would be careful about running at any speed. I planned to go end of this week and bailed (unfortunately) Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Yeah... about what i thought. Wed morning should be a lot like that or worse after 2 15 deg nights in a row. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. How tall? I have a pair of the 6" tall fixed position Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. On the plus side you have your boat back! I thought your outlook was grim originally. Glad i was wrong. Im with you though. I spent all winter rigging a new boat and of course obsessing over it. Now is just a waiting game. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. The Facebook page for salmon country marina showed the river still locked up solid upstream as of friday The state launch may very well be open but this gives an idea of the state of things. Its close but marginal. Tonight and tomorrow night will hit 15 deg which wont help. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. Just curious why your trading in so soon. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. I have (2) Traxtech 6" fixed downrigger track mounts I'm selling. $100 including shipping for the pair. Photo of one of them below
  9. So i dont know whats the latest with paints but i would suggest looking into a barrier coat. Straight bottom paint doesnt necessarily prevent blistering. My father and i had a 92 sportcraft that ended up with osmotic blistering which we repaired. After that it was barrier coat with separate bottom coat (from what i understand). The experience sucked so if i ever end up with another glass boat that sits in a slip this is something ill do. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I have a pair of traxtech 6" if that is of interest. https://www.traxstech.com/PM_6_6_Inch_Tall_Non_Swivel_Base_p/pm-6.htm
  11. Yeah they tried to tell me that when i bought my 18 starweld and i put a 72 on that boat which sat a lot lower. I already know my 72" will be marginal for my fishmaster and have other plans. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. $95 ea -10% Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. If you watch and wait for it, FISHUSA usually has a promo code for 10%off orders of ++$50 or $100 and also free shipping. It took 3 weeks of waiting but i just ordered 4 dual axis a week ago. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. Saturday Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. A 15# sheephead on a 10 color leadcore isnt too shabby either. I thought i had a mega brown on. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. Around 100 FOW off the salmon river. NK28 silver / yellow stripe . Scary i remember that since it was in the 90's. Big guy too (for an eel)....the amount of eel slime was ridiculous. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. American eel Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. NJ. No one comes to NJ on purpose, wouldnt blame the DEC on that lol. The posted.video on here was excellent. They spoke of intended outreach initiatives. I might send some constructive comments if i can find a location to send it to. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. I have a Sphar 1212 I'd be willing to part with for $250 shipped. It has backing and high vis mono loaded on it now. I could send pics if interested.
  20. No worries i get it. I wanted to make Schenectady but i have a client inspection that day that carries over to Friday AM. Oh well. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. Understood, i can see your perspective. Consider mine a little more. I can't just drop everything when the fishing is hot either. If i could do it and only kill one day i would.....gladly. instead they put it at 6:30 mid week so i have to kill one day of work to get there get a room to stay since my camp is winterized and burn another work day coming home. Incidentally i dont do one day suicide runs anymore in the winter after wrecking once on the highway hitting black ice after (ironically) stopping to get some sleep to be safe lol. Its ok though. I got over the fact they'll never change the timing but i still pipe up about it once in a while. I appreciate the effort they put in. I just wish that since they promote this as a fishery meant to attract participation of anglers further than the local towns around the lake that there be an occasional attempt to encourage engagement of those same people.

  22. Thanks. Completely understood and their efforts are appreciated. Hopefully they understand a large portion of the resource user group has similar restrictions and limitations but yet is very interested in the well being if the resource even if not present.

  23. Back when there was more complaining by some about lack of attendance i made this point. Hell even if you made one a Friday or a monday i could work it around a weekend where i could only have to burn one vacation day. Nope....only Tuesday- Thursday and @6pm or so.... so i have to burn 2 days to make a meeting. Im all for attending but if they wont bend once in a while why should i upend my life.

  24. I put mine on the transom on a track mount with cheap scotty track rod holder base and FF mount. No dash clutter or holes Sent from my Pixel 2 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
