    As far as fines are concerned, yes that is laughable for some yet the same amount of money is a hardship for others. To equalize the punishment the judges should stick these people in jail for a week or so. That would be a far more equal punishment

    Seafoam does not remove water. It prevents it from forming in the tank. If you want to remove water there is another product. I think it is called drygas. I never used so I have no opinion about it.

    There is a lot of misinformation and generalization on the gas front. First of all, do you have a big tank that sits in your boat? By all means go ethanol free because it is is in these bigger tanks that the ethanol will attract water and it will just slowly gather until it causes a problem.. Do you use 6 or 5 gallon removable tanks? You can use ethanol gas as long as you empty out your tanks at the end of the season. (stick it in your car tank and yes, you can dump 2 stroke gas in your car too. Just do it in small portions like a gallon or two at a time with each tank. It does not hurt the engine and it solves the disposal problem. Is your boat pre 2000? You must change out all your fuel hoses because the hoses used before 2000 will be eaten by the ethanol and start leaking. The same goes for fiberglas fuel tanks. The ethanol will melt the glue that was used to glue them together. Trailered boats usually have less of a problem compared to boats that lay in a slip. That is because the humidity by the slipped boats is much higher than the humidity next to your house or garag Personally, I never use stabil because there are better products on the market. I prefer a product called "seafoam" because it not only treats the gas,it also cleans the carburetors.

    I only fish for perch in fall and in early spring. but yes I mostly use these whenever I go after perch. When the perch are out on the flats, the minimites work very good. When I fish in between weed beds or near steep drop offs I just try everything until I find what they like best. Another thing I catch a lot of perch on is the eyes of perch. After you catch one , you kill it, remove the eyes and stick one on a #6 or #8 hook. You must always make sure that your bait moves around a bit, unless the school is in an open place between weedbeds. Then the perch usually hit the bait on the way down. When you get the first hit, just set the hook, but leave the line in the water and more often than not, some other perch will hit the other hooks

    The answer is simple. It is a myth that there is alcohol in Stabil. These are the ingredients in Stabil Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light (64742-47-8) Naphthalene (91-20-3) Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (111-76-2)

    I use minimite plastic with a maggot on the hook. They imitate small shrimp which are a perch’s favorite food. The hooks are very small.

    There is no state launch at the south end of Owasco lake. As for launching in the creek, It is quite close to the Marina. Where you would normally swing left to go to the marina, you can also go straight onto the dirt road into the heron rookery nature reserve. After a bit you should be able to turn east toward the creek and launch in there. Beware though, it is swampy and quite often muddy. You do not want to get stuck in there.

    That looks like a good choice, just make sure that it will work with your monitor.

    When you find a school you should anchor off to the side and cast upwind with a slide bobber on your line so you so can control your depth. The wind will push your bait over the school. Another way is to drift over the school without any engine and just go back to your beginning point by circling around. I mostly use mini-mites tipped with a maggot. It is best to cast into water that before the school so the bait can sink to the depth you want before it reaches the school while drifting or casting. The bigger perch are always deeper than the small ones.

    Perch is high up so a side view would help, lakers are deep down so a smaller down aimed cone is needed. I once owned a hummingbird transducer that had a choice of 3 different cones and gave sideways, 45 degree and 90 degree cones. In your place I would look for something similar. The guys at Krenzer marine in Sodus Bay will be your best bet.

    Perch like to feed on small shrimp living on sandy/sediment bottom near weedbeds. That is found where big creeks come into the lake.

    In winter when they drop the lake level that place is not so easy to launch from

    I'm sorry to see all this for sale. It means that yet again someone is giving up on this hobby. I hope that there is no sad reason behind this. I wish you good luck selling. If it does not work this way , you should consider going to one of the many flea market tackle sales coming up. You might walk away with more than a thousand dollars that way.

    I'm just wondering. Ever since the pandemic the fishing Expo in Niagara Falls has gone. Will it be back? Or could there be a Lotsa fleamarket in combination with the "Salmon School"?

    boat decale

    rolmops replied to emitt1's topic in This Old Boat

    I think that you mean the trollmaster which allows you to control the rpm on your kicker. They have a wired one and a wireless setup. As for decals, The same people that make them for cars, can make them for boats. You can also order them online.

    If your boat is aluminum it won't work. If it is fiberglass it will. If your boat is molded plastic (very few) I don't know. The ones that I have seen are all installed in their own little water tank to prevent air interference. You must have enough room to install that little tank where you want your transducer to be. The pro is obviously not drilling holes in your boat. The anti is that your echo will be slightly less than under the hull without any interference. The people at Krenzer Marine in Sodus will be able to give you the best advice for your specific boat.

    If it stays this mild there will be a lot of fat salmon in spring, but neither Lake Ontario nor Lake Eerie will freeze over. that will mean that we will get dumped on on with a lot of lake effect snow.

    I am interested ,but can you show an enlarged picture of the tip? The wire line tends to eat into the tip leaving deep grooves.

    This is a 2019 production year, marketed in 2021. Light weight (80 #) electric start with less than 60 hours on it. Everything is in top condition. I originally bought it to push my 19 foot Islander when trolling, which it did without any problems at a good speed. I changed to a 22 footer and had it on there for one trip and again it performs really well. It is originally a tiller engine, but I changed it to a remote control setup with the Tohatsu side mount remote controller and all original Tohatsu remote control fitting parts. So now it is a very light weight remote controlled kicker. It can easily be changed back to a full tiller setup. This is a light weight kicker so There will not be too much weight on the transom.
