  2. The Gennie has zero natural reproduction. The waterfalls are impossible to pass. But there are a lot of small creeks in the Greater Rochester area where i have witnessed salmon running up to spawn. King and Coho both mixed in with steelies and browns. Most local fly fisherman will know which creeks I am talking about. Let's leave these these fish in peace to do their thing so we can have better catches in the coming years.
  3. It is hard to understand why nobody is fishing these carp with big nets and make a fortune turning them into organic fertilizer.
  4. I fully agree. Some teams that participated in Oswego have already said that they will not be back next year.

    Gas???

    I have run 87 octane ethanol gas in my 1986 75 horse merc for the last 5 years without ever a spot of trouble. If you trailer your boat you do not have the problem of a very humid environment. The hoses on your engine and the fuel lines from the tank to the engine are probably all alcohol resistant (A standard since 1992). if not, replace them(you should anyway). There are some rules for using ethanol containing gas. Always make sure that your tank is full (fuel up at the end of a trip) so there is no room for humid air in your tank. Also,every third tank dump some sea foam fuel stabilizer in your tank. It will stabilize the fuel,clean out your carburetors/injectors and it will remove carbon build up. All of this worked for me like a dream,but I have a metal 20 gallon tank. If you have a fiber glass tank (in some older boats),the alcohol may dissolve the seams and it will loosen up all the dirt in your tank. If you have six gallon tanks you can freely use ethanol containing fuel,just make sure not to let fuel sit in your tank for long times
  6. Sorry, you are barking up the wrong tree. The Asian carp is a matter that is in the hands of Illinois. It is not a federal matter and as such, the feds have very little authority. If you want to talk to the people stopping the closing of the canal in Chicago,you should talk to the big barge transport companies (you know who big business votes for). These companies could not care less about our precious ecosystem in the lakes. They care about money. Sorry but you are wrong to point your finger at Obama on this one.
  7. Heck,I too am proud to be an American and I don't believe in Jesus although you might consider me to be a relative of his. As for Romney for president. If it happens, it will be great for all you millionaires. As for the rest of us, we had better get ready to help you millionaires get a lot richer over our backs.
  8. Yes. I bought one online and then found them at Narby's in Oak Orchard for less than the online price. I changed the tips to twili tips and they are now my favorite dipsy and copper rods. I know that they are not very high end,but what they give me for less than $30 a piece is a lot of fishing rod per dollar paid
  9. I trolled Owasco lake last Saturday and Sunday. I mostly run one rigger at 70 and one at 90 with one 8 color and a 10 color leadcore off the boards. As always the best fishing for me is from the boy scout camp (eastside) north for about 2 miles on both sides and this goes on both sides and in the middle. the riggers got the lakers and the leadcore gets the browns. I zig zag a lot to get the leadcore to run faster than the rigger lines. Good luck
  10. Just post the model# and I can give you the year.
  11. Hello Nick. I have never heard of a 1979 engine with a VRO system. Are you sure that it is a 1979?? As for the cables,I think that the 1979 150 horse already has the newer generation of cables. Let me know what the cable ends look like and that will help. Cornelis.
  12. I have a one season old set of 16 foot remote control cables for Johnson /Evinrude engines from before 1979 in very good condition. At $40 + shipping if needed. Send me a PM if interested.
  13. Good luck starting your own charter boat captain business!!
  14. Yes Nick it is, but that stuff seems to have a lot of additional magic, like loosening up stuck piston rings.You can pour some of it in a frozen block and 2 days later the pistons will move! Besides,it smells like something you find in a candy store. For your outboard I would suggest "Sea Foam" regular and "deep Creep" The regular you can add to your fuel and it will keep the carbs and the rings clean while it also stabilizes the fuel. the deep creep you can spray into your carbs for fogging and decarbing. Hell, why am I telling this to a diesel mechanic? You can probably teach me about it! Cornelis.
  15. If I could buy a 585 and stay under a thousand I would jump on it. The more realistic and best for your money is either a good used 582 or a new furuno 620 which is similar to the 582,but with a slightly smaller screen. Do not go cheap on the transducer,it is the most important part.
  16. There was no score board up when I was in the tent, but there were plenty of people with a full six fish box. The youth prize was won by a girl who reeled in a 27 pound plus king. What I like most about the East end triple crown fishing event is the family atmosphere with lots of attention paid to the young participants. One father and son team came late for weigh in, however the judges took one look at the son and instantly decided to be flexible with the rules because they felt that no kid should be left out and they did weigh the catch. (the team had only 2 fish) The general feeling in the tent is one of friends meeting each other while the competition is almost an afterthought. I will be there again next year.
  17. The Fish Hawk is great, but not as fast in information transfer as the sub troll. Both units are great and the fish hawk is a wee bit better, but you do get more product per dollar paid when you buy the sub troll.
  18. If you can find a Penn Yan that is 2000 or newer,I'd be in the market to buy it.
  19. My check came in about a week ago.
  20. I fished for browns in 40 to 50 feet of water in October and November using 6 and 8 color leadcore and planer boards. In October there still are plenty of large ones out in the lake ,but as it gets into November,most of the larger ones go into the creeks to spawn and only the smaller ones (19/20 inches) are left in the lake. The fun thing is that the browns are in the same areas as the small mouth bass and often lakers as well, so there is plenty of action, while the water temps are down to 45/46 degrees.
  21. All I said in this thread is that I do not think that Rochester is a very good fishing spot compared to either the oak or Mexico Bay. As an example I used a charter trip with Bruce. So it is my opinion about the Rochester fishing against yours. I have not said anything derogatory about anybody on the board. If you take it as a personal comment on your fishing skills then that is your opinion but not my facts.
  22. I am looking for the I/O side (Alpha 1) hookup of an EZ steer.I can trade the large outboard part. Please send me a pm if you have one laying around. Thank you,Cornelis.
  23. I bought an 84' Islander this spring and with the improvements I made it cost me more than the beauty on sale here. Now I am very sorry for not being more patient. This is a true beauty for a great price!
  24. Bruce, Last time I went out on a charter with you out of Rochester all we could get in over 8 hours was 1 salmon and 1 steelie. So no I am not impressed.
