  1. It only becomes fraud if you get caught......
  2. I am a firm believer in Carharrt bibs and jackets. They keep me warm and dry. Besides, I wear them while working outside in winter so they serve multiple purposes.
  3. I fondly remember going fishing there in winter with my son when he was but 8 years old. All the rainbows and landlockeds. But it is a good thing that the plant is no longer sucking in millions of tiny fish only to kill them while cooling the generators and producing steam.
  4. The loop is with the 7 strand. The 19 strand can be treated like mono. That's how flexible it is
  5. “He” is Mathew, the owner of torpedo company. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. I google “ Oswego buoy “. That gives me the wind speed half a mile off Oswego. It also gives an interactive map with yellow squares on different locations. Click on the dot you need and get local info. All the info you get this way is real time. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. Just so you know. When I was a kid I had a tame T-Rex.
  8. My saddle hunting was on horseback. I loved it. Is that legal here ?
  9. Hey Skyman tone down. My wife attended that college . Anyways, we spent many a happy evening in the Fargo. On another note. To rob 6 boats points at an organized operation with people who know what to steal and where to get rid of it. Probably not local and not some druggies. That stuff will probably show up somewhere in Georgia or Alabama.
  10. It starts well before a hatchery, goes through 2 parks and ends in a bay. Large areas have had the silt removed about 10 years ago and gravel beds have been improved. we catch king salmon there in fall at some holes of its 79 mile length. Plenty of trees and holes along the way and rumor has it that atlantic salmon also successfully spawn there. That's enough info.
  11. Is an aluminum boat less risky than a fiber glass one ?
  12. You are right. The data on that buoy is very limited. It does however come with a map that has yellow squares on it .You can drag that map around to see other areas of the lake. If you click on those squares, it will give you all the local data for the place where the square is located.

  14. I don't quite get the age thing. Does the counting start at incubation time in Altmar or does it start when the fry is released into the lake? as I said, "invited",
  15. I guess it depends on the invasive. Kings,browns, steelheads and rainbows are all invited invasives. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. We tried to get in touch with you plenty of times while in Oswego. I guess I will just buy from a store.
  17. All the Johnson /Evinrude 2 strokes up to the 90s are set up to accommodate tiller and remote. The tiller handle is easily removed but does not even have to be removed to change it into a remote controlled(cables). A lot of the 80s Johnson /Evinrudes are only longshaft because there is an added extension in the gear housing that can be removed. that and cutting a piece of the copper tubing and a different driveshaft will give you the short shaft you need.
  18. The simple truth is that 2 strokes are on the way out and technician training is aimed at 4 stroke outboards. Fewer and fewer shops take in 2 strokes. At the same time there are a few million old two strokes that are alive and well and will be so for the next 50 years. I have 2 1957 35 horse Johnsons that still work just fine and unless some anti pollution law will render them useless they will probably last another 50 years.This is very common for old two strokes ,mainly because they see relatively little use. But most of those old seahorses are maintained by their owners,rusting away somewhere or thrown out by the children of the original owners. Still, there are a few older technicians left who deal mostly with old 2 strokes and have all the spare parts you might need and then some. One of those is Mayers Marina in Webster,NY. Old Bill Mayer is one of those. By just listening to the motor he can tell you what it needs. He is very proud of his 1920s and 30s collection of 2 and 4 stroke outboards, which you probably will not get to see. If you need to have a 2 stroke fixed and get a warranty on the work,he is your address to go to. Don't bother bringing a 4stroke to him for service. He does not like them.
  19. If you want to prevent this robbery service, buy a dedicated manufacturer's service manual ( not a crap aftermarket like Seloc) a pressure gauge and some simple tools. A 28 horse 2 stroke is a simple motor.
  20. There is a weather buoy just outside Oswego and it’s online. It will give you wind speed and direction in real time. It refreshes every five minutes. Google: Oswego weather buoy and it will give you the reading and a map with yellow squares. Every square is a weather station/buoy. Click on them and you will get their reading too.

  21. Will it fit in a 19 foot islander instead of a 3 liter engine ?
  22. I had one in my thumb last week and a good pair of plyers + some creative use of several languages got it out for me.
  23. I’ll take it. I’ll send you a pm in a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
