Good article in the NY Outdoor News about the die-off. Not only are the birds starving but many are losing their water shedding ability which stresses them even further.

Heh Tony, how's everything. For 5 years I ran a Garmin combo unit, 545 S model, when in split screen just didn't make it cause of screen size. Last year sprung for a Furuno 627 FF and now run GPS only on the Garmin. Their GPS software is top notch and updates are free on website. I've updated 2X since I bought it. Good luck! Kevin

Another vote for the Heartlands. Bought 2 last year. Mine are HLD-DD 962H 9ft 6in. Very good value. Stay away from the Eagle Claws. They make nice goose flag poles.

Thanks Tim & shadrapper for the tip on the 1116's. Just the kind of info I was looking for. Looks as tho they're about $100 cheaper. Still searching around for the best deal. Now I got $100 to spend on lures.

I'm looking to add a third rigger to run down the chute. One that can handle a 15lb or heavier weight. Anybody have any comments on the Scotty 2106 HP. It's got everything I'm looking for and it would be easier to pull the trigger to buy if it got good reviews from this post. I've got 2 Big Jons now but don't want to buy their Brute model to handle the weight. Thanks Kevin

YEOW. I'd say that is worth the ride. Are ATVs needed or can you hike to the fish Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Bit the bullet and got one this June after using one in a buddies boat. Well worth it for all the above reasons. There was a thread about Bogas several months ago. Give it a search. Capt. Vince is right on about not cheaping out on a knock-off. I found the best deal on E-Bay.

Well I guess if the Air National Guard can donate a drone to the eastern basin then what's a couple of X4's donated off I-Bay. Jeff have you considered trying braid for downriggers? Just askin.

WWGD. Thats perfect. Heh Jammer Steves got some knotted up cable he prefers when running X4's Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Heh Tony. There is a private RV campground on Wellesley down towards Fineview. I think it's called Sea Island Resort. There are docks on the south shore of Wellesley. with a launch. Not sure if still open. Good luck. Kevin

All is well here using Firefox. Have had the problem on other computers, but not sure if they're using Int Exp.

Well, looking for browns didn't turn out so good. Fished east out of bay starting in 40ft looking for some temp breaks. Eased out to 90 and found temp drop off to 54 down 75. Had 2 hits on 245ft wire with SD & fly. Still no hookups. Turned around headed west and same wire took 3 lakers and 75 rigger took one to. 450 copper fired and landed nice 9 lb rainbow on a BFuller spoon. Rigger took 2 more hits and nobody home. Gonna give it a shot tomorrow.

We're probably gonna target the browns. I need some fish for the smoker. Make some passes in front of the Bay and head East. That hasn't been to productive this year with all the temp changes and wind. Will post from the boat.

Bought a Boga this past summer and we feel it was a great investment. Not only does it help to revive fish easier, removing hooks is a cinch. Small fish are released without netting and the netted ones are under control. Found the 30lb model on E-Bay for the best price. $105.00 with free shipping. Put one on your Christmas list.

Haven't been out since 9/6. I hope to get out Wed and/or Thurs if the winds cooperate. Will post if anything is going on.
