I bought my food saver at BGs for $130. As it turns out,the eBay ones are usually the ones that are no longer made for stores and they are excess supply. I like mine so much that, combined it with an inverter,we ( the three of us) always take it on extended fishing trips to Cape Cod and after making proper portions,I vacuum pack all my fish before it goes in the cooler,usually while on the boat.That way the fish stays very fresh and after a week we usually come back with a few hundred pounds of cod,haddock ,stripers,bluefish and this last trip one extra cooler with 150 pounds of bluefin tuna steaks.That foodsaver pays for itself every time it goes to the Cape.

I have a few Penn Senator 113s and a few Penn 330 GTI levelwinds.I use them both on Lake Ontario and for Striper and Cod fishing off Gloucester. . The Penns were all bought on Ebay (used) for less than $40 a piece. All they needed was a cleaning ,some lube and a set of drag washers.I have yet to see a reel that beats a Penn.

They come in 3 year cycles. But it is also possible that you have something going on there that stops them. Maybe you should inform someone at the DEC about your experience at the Oak.They may be very interested.

I would very much like to know the name of this dealership,because I am looking into buying another boat and this is one guy that I want to remove from my dealers list. I hope that you informed the boat company of the disgusting treatment at the hands of this dealer.His name should be on the front page of this website as a warning to potential boat buyers!!

So you are on Iboats too. Here comes again. Zebra mussels love to attach themselves to the intakes on your lower unit.they will grow so thick that they will actually cover the intakes on the outside and the inside. they do not usually go up to the engine block because most of the time(when you don't run the engine) there is no water there. Just take a piece of wire and clean out the intakes and the tubing going up to the engine. It is important to raise your lower unit out of the water when you don't use the boat.The best way to prevent and also kill the zebra mussels is by letting them dry out.

The perch in the bay are anywhere between 4 and 14 inches.The bigger ones are usually at the bottom of the school.The trick is to get your bait/lure all the way down without having it attacked by the small ones. I have good success with a small lure called "mini mite" usually tipped with a maggot or very small piece of worm. As it gets colder,the perch move less and it is often a good idea to move over the school. That makes it a lot easier to feel the these often very light hits.

Hello Tom, Thanks for the pictures.The white bass is definitely very similar to what I caught,except that it was more streamlined ,more striped bass like.Probably it was just a very large male,much larger than I ever caught before.

I just looked at a whole lot of googled images of all sorts of bass and it probably was just a large white bass.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):9-26 Time on Water:06.30-10.00am Weather/Temp:50 Wind Speed/Direction:south-east at 15mph Waves: 3 to 4 feet Surface Temp: 64 Location:Genny river mouth and north to 90fow LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 3 Total Boated:1 Species Breakdown:Striped bass ?????????,steelhead Hot Lure: green dream weaver with added herring bone and eye (home made) Trolling Speed: 2.1-3.4 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 20 to 90 Lure Depth: 15 to 60 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Very choppy and tough weather for solo fishing. At first I joined the combat trolling crowd in front of the river.It was here that I picked up this 19 inch fish that for all practical purpose looked just like a striped bass.It even hit with the same ferocity as the ones I catch in Cape Cod Bay.Now I realize that there are no stripers in lake Ontario so it must have been some other species that I don't recognize,unless somebody has been doing some illegal stocking of hybrid striped bass of the type that is found in southern reservoirs. After leaving the crowd I went out to deeper water and hooked up twice with nice steelhead but it was almost impossible to bring them in, net them and steer the boat at the same time in the large waves that were out there,so both got off. It was a fun morning,probably the last for the big lake this year.It is Ibay from here on until next spring. ====================

I'll hit the water either Saturday or Sunday,whichever works out better. I am sort of thinking the 3 or 4 hundred FOW and fishing for steel head.Does that make any sense this time of year or am I wasting my time??

Last time I visited 31/22 I really went out there to catch perch and now you're telling me that they are in the bay.Now I understand why the only thing I caught there were steelies and salmon.

I second that

Forget about Russel station.The power plant is closed and there is not enough of a current there to attract any fish.

Funny that should mention the rec boats. I own a cottage on Owasco lake but I hardly ever fish there in summer because of rec boaters,I used to escape to Keuka ... That just goes to show that everything is relative.

Keuka Lake,which is just around the corner from where you live,is much cleaner and has some great Lake trout and brown trout fishing.In general the lake is not as wind swept as Cayuga and Seneca.Best of all.It does not have Lamprey.Both Seneca and Cayuga have lots of lamprey. There is a great free launch site in Penn Yan.

I'll be chasing perch and pike in there before too long myself.Come to think of it, perch fishing is very relaxing compared to solo salmon hunting.

There was a very clear temperature break at 40 feet down in the 70 fow area. ====================

I got skunked too,but knowing that I'm not the only one makes it a bit less frustating.

Sorry for my ignorance,I figured as much when I saw your e-mail address,but then I forgot about it again. The main reason why I installed a vhf radio in my boat is the possibility of hooking it up to the gps and with one push on the "Emergency" button,your radio will start broadcasting your exact position on the water on most frequencies while also having the exact information as to who is on the boat because of a unique MMSI number that is being assigned to you and to your radio. If you don't mind I will insert your phone number in my phone book. Good luck this afternoon.

I saw you out there this morning,on my way to try the 200 foot line.I tried to hail you on Channel 8 but no dice. You were right to stay close to shore, it was not until 250 FOW that we started marking bait and fish,at 220 foot down and by then the waves started to be decidedly unpleasant.

I have very good luck with leadcore trolling live bait at roughly 90 foot down.I use 12 colors at 1.6 mph.The bait is available at the "Beverage Baron" in Penn Yan. ask for sawbellies. If he no longer has those you can also use pike minnows.the lakers have no preference.

Anyway while I was gone did the salmon start gathering in front of the river yet?Or are they still roughly where I found them 2 weeks ago? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds like a great time spent on the water.Certainly better than my lure washing experience this Saturday. The stone quarry you work at,is that Dolomite on Whalen road? Cornelis.

Ray,If you go to Wellfleet harbor,take a little road north from there and you will find a small bridge at the very north end of the harbor bay.The road is called Chequessed Neck Road,or just Neck Road. That little bridge has some great sea perch and striper fishing with the incoming tide.As the water comes into the riverside. There is no issue with waves or storm. I had good luck there using a bobber or just a very small sinker and letting the current carry it. The preferred bait was seaworms and sand eels

Sure sounds like you had lots of fun.
