    when i switched from mono to 80 lb braid i got cocky about how strong it was and cranked the drag down. That's when i found out how weak some of the hooks are that come on lures. You really have to adjust the drag to match the hooks you're using. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    a few years ago I tied an inline double 8 from the first buck my youngest son got. Later that year he caught his first musky on it. That was pretty cool. My other homemade baits have been busts. I keep trying,it beats watching Hallmark channel with the wife.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    wind was tough tuesday. I saw four boats and one other yak out. Weather channel missed the wind forecast by about 20 mph. It was tough out there,had to stick tight to the causeway. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Fished there 5 hours this morning. I caught a two footer around 10am;only fish I saw. Half a dozen boats were out. Some came through the causeway and at least one came out of the marina. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Never heard of it until now. So I checked it out. Saw one video where you could see the lure coming in and a pike attacked it. So it could be useful for seeing follows maybe but you'd have to be watching the screen and not the water. Too much technology for me. I have two units on my boat and use about 5% of what they're capable of. My garmin unit has a 3d mode i have never used because i'd have to buy another card or chip or whatever they are.

    I caught some nice pike there two weeks ago. I was told yesterday the docks were out and water low. Guy said he used waders to launch. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The bays in the north end are all mud. There is an air boat sitting in the mud in one bay. The entire steel ramp at the campground is exposed. No boats at docks,even Justin's is out. At the marina I would say you could get a 12' tin can with a tiller in. My 18' boat:no way. Npike said he got in Conesus yesterday and got a pike over 10lbs. Said docks were out and launched with waders on. Waneta was good for the Troy;is the tournament still on for November? I may have to finish this season in my yak.

    I called the campground yesterday and asked about launching. She was honest and said small boats maybe and I should try the marina. I called there and was told the inner launch was good and I could launch before they open,just put money in box. We got there at dawn to find an inch of water at the end of the ramp. There is a wooden extension after the concrete but half of it is destroyed. Normally i fear no boat launch but not today. I might go back later with the yak.

    I fished here for a couple hours this morning. Water is low but docks are still in and lots of boats launching. Caught three nice northerns near the launch,shallow on a spinnerbait. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I fished there last week in my yak so no problem for me. It is very low but there were plenty of bass and pontoons out. I saw boats come and go at the marina. One of my sons called the campground today to set up an overnight for my birthday mid October. They told him the launch was closed and docks not usable. Guess we'll try Chautauqua for that trip. A 14' foot boat should be fine and if you get wet at least it's still warm. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I feel your pain. I am up to 8 tournaments and have boated one fish that was too short to enter. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I lost one about 7:30. Had another knock around 8. Fished til 3 and never saw another. I saw the judge boat make around 7 stops so some fish were caught. Ed Craig caught a 46" I believe and said a couple mid 40's were caught. The stew he delivered hit the spot. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
