  1. I believe that it was done by the “In Fisherman “people Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  2. This is a shot in the dark, but if I were to go fish out of Mexico today, I would go to the northern dunes and west from there. The bottom at 140 feet is sandy and it gently slopes down toward the west. With the north eastern winds pushing the warm water on the surface westward there will be a current bringing colder water that will push the thermocline up a bit and the water of the salmon river in the warmer layer will mix with this colder current. The salmon that is starting to stage will be transported eastward by this colder water current and they will feed on the edge of these colliding temperature areas. So look for green water on top and a thermocline that is moving higher. Good luck
  3. I use torpedo wire and have not had even one break off in the five years that this wire has been on my dipsy reels. I do however set my drags not as tight as some people like to do.
  4. Thanks for the report, The eastern winds probably did not help any either. I had planned a trip way out for today, but canned it because of this wind. Your report makes it feel like the right decision.
  5. There is Mayer’s Marina at the outlet of Irondequoit Bay in Webster. Old Bill probably has a dozen of them brand new old stock in one of his cabinets. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. What size boat will it fit? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. You probably want to do a reverse flush and remove the thermostat to make sure that no pieces of rubber clog the cooling system .
  8. What will you haul it with? That thing sounds very heavy. Does the trailer have brakes? 99% percent of the time the cops will not bother you, but you should check the gross vehicle weight of your tow vehicle and double check how much weight you are allowed to haul.Not so much because of legality but more because of road safety. It's not so much about how strong your engine is. It's about how well you can brake.
  9. I pee in the water...
  10. I would stay away from stripping the paint off. Unless it is all scratched up There are plenty of boat cleaner soaps available at West Marine or online. Another powerful cleaning agent is a product called crud cutter. It is often used with power washing equipment , but you can also use a higher concentration in a bucket and use a sponge or a soft broom.Just don't do it on a hot day because you don't want everything to dry up before the soap has done its thing.
  11. sharp temperature break between 2 water currents?
  12. I would be interested in seeing the boat, but I have become very doubtful about its veracity because you did not say where it is in addition to strange language use (I pm you) ,even though you were asked several times. If you want me to come and see, please put the location, floor and transom status and compression numbers on the board so I can decide whether to come and see based on good information.
  13. Much the same for me. We worked the same area and ended up 3 for 3. One big slimer and 2 2 year olds. All on spoons they were not interested in meat or FF. There was a DEC officer at the dock,but he seemed more interested in socializing than in inspecting, which is a nice thing.
  14. If you don't know what it is ,you don't use it. Anyway, mozilla firefox is an open source web browser
  15. Same here. Do you use firefox?
  16. There is a simple alternative. You can use truss headed stainless steel philips bolts, washers and nuts. You can get those at Fasten all. You can buy a small amount and of course the right size. Just use them instead of rivets. M5200 is available at Walmart, Lowe’s etc. if you are so inclined, you can replace every last rivet on your boat this way. The only condition is that you must be able to get to the inside of the hull in order to tighten the nuts. Just google truss head bolt and you will see what I mean.

  18. A few years ago we had this tent settlement in NY City, which was about the one percent and the power of Wall Street. Now we have the Black Lives Matter. Both are noble causes .Both lack organization and both will peter out as the weather gets colder. It is a great way to vent, but unless it is aggressively challenged it will go away by itself.

  19. I'll take it. Sent you a pm
  20. Did you stop fishing to have that big one on a LOC scale is quick as possible?
  21. I've seen that technique being used on the Atlantic with cod and haddock on all the undersized fish and for soft mouthed fish it works great. The problem is that it is impossible to see how much damage to the fish mouth it causes because the fish never is close enough to see what really happens. Another much bigger problem for using that "hook and pole" is that it is commonly known as a gaff hook, which is strictly illegal on Lake Ontario. I would be interested as to where "hook and pole" ends and "gaff hook" starts
  22. We also release without ever taking the fish out of the water. Taking a fish out of the water for 3 minutes is similar to sticking your head under water for 3 minutes. Besides, how many pictures of fish do you need and will you still look at them three weeks from now? It seems to me that killing beautiful creatures for bragging rights is not right. Eating them is a different story.
  23. Spectrum news is not far left or right , nor do they have an opinion. They just bring the news. They are owned by spectrum and the company makes money by piping internet, telephone and tv into your house.They are careful not to loose customers. So they are deliberately neutral while leaning toward the public opinion that attracts the most customers.
  24. And that goes all along the spectrum . Breitbart on the right end and Fox as the cheerleader of our current president then on to the center where you will find ABC and veering to the left is MSNBC. It is sad that Breitbart and FOX are presenting opinion as news while the mainstream media at least still have news cast and apart from that opinion while trying to keep them in their separate boxes.While everybody is cherry picking the news So what to do? I listen to the BBC and NPR. If you think that those are left wing propaganda you are in danger of falling of the right end . By the way. The purpose of "News Shows" is not to inform you. It is to entertain you and give you cheap thrills, while all the time trying to sell you coca cola or mattresses or whatever other thing that helps them make money
  25. 4.5 millions gun buyers in a country of over 300 million people seems like a pitiful minority to me
