    To me water visibility is one of the bigger factors - clear water never be afraid to throw some speed at them - green water you can pretty much fish at whatever speed you want. Really really dirty water - slow seems to give them a little more time to find the bait. Over the years that's been our experience. Our speed can range from 1.8 to 3.1 depending on what baits are in the water, water clarity, and what the fish tell you.

    Turtle Cove or Little Sodus Inn launches you can probably use although they both require you to drive the length of the bay to get out......not sure what you can launch at either of those places with low water levels but you could probably make it work.

    What derby and when? Might help some folks determine if they are available.

    If your PA registered boat remains in NY for 90 consecutive days it is supposed to be registered with NY state in which case you would need to hold a valid boaters certificate - if you just keep it registered in PA you can probably get away without needing a certificate but technically you are breaking the law - probably will never be an issue unless you are involved in some kind of accident that involves an investigation.

    Despite the phenomenal king fishing this past season my son made it a point that we needed to check on our square tailed friends periodically. Threw together a quick vid of some of our brown trout adventures over on my son's channel - check it out and subscribe! Enjoy!

    I did a set of Daiwa Eliminator Diver rods for a friend last year - had some sentimental value as they were his grandfathers. Pretty much have to strip the blank down and start over. Had way more into it in materials than you could buy a new comparable rod for - and once you factor in labor it will start to get more expensive. Rods turned out great and hopefully he gets another 30 years out of them.

    Milwaukee Fuel M18 Hammer drill with 5AH battery - that will turn most drill augers. (you don't use the hammer setting) Have used a few different ones but the KDrill is nice - 7.5" unit is closer to 8" and cuts through junk ice and clear ice no problem - can also cut overlapping holes with it.

    Nice video - we usually do an annual season in review video as well - probably time to think about pulling that together.

    The Simms bootfoots are nice - I fish those with a couple layers underneath and stay very comfortable. Simms Fjord wading pants or the Redington wading pants are both very warm. No reason to wade more than knee deep in the winter. I see guys in neo's every year standing waist deep or deeper in the winter. Absolutely no need to get that deep. Pair of liner socks and a pair of good wool socks and your feet will stay warm - size them as if you were buying muck boots.

    Go to the NYS parks and recreation page and it lists all of the approved courses - some taken in the past count and some do not.

    Fished Saturday 9/14 and Sunday 9/15 out of Oswego Saturday we fished to the East - weather Buoy to 5-stacks. Decent picture but the farther east you got the more things seemed to dry up - heard it got good past the plant down to high rocks but I never crossed the dead water between the 5 stacks past the plant. Had to work for your bites - fish were there but currents weren't the best and temps were coming up all day. We had 3 bites and landed 1 king for the morning. Fished 95 to 120 fow. One last hurrah yesterday as we moved the boat back to our slip in Sodus in preparation to get pulled out on Friday for the season - trolled front door Oswego to just east of front door Fair Haven - never turned around and we picked at a few fish on the one long troll until we picked up and ran the rest of the way to Sodus - probably could have generated more bites if we turned and went back through areas with more fish but we just kept the boat pointed west. Ended up 6 for 9 for the troll. Some areas with fish and other areas void of fish but best areas were the Green Can down to probably close to west 9 mile - then some dead water. Moon beach started picking back up and seeing more fish - never really saw piles of fish but a pretty steady screen from there to front door Fair Haven Same depths as yesterday - inside of 90 feet it got very warm and far fewer marks on the electronics. Still a lot of fish to come from what I saw this weekend so the east end should enjoy a couple more good weeks of fishing. with the warm temps and very little rain in the forecast. All Flasher Fly bites this weekend - never took a bite on a plug. Best flies over the last few weeks (All A-Tom-Mik) Live Lime Hammer, Stud, Shredded Mirage, and K41.

    I had a couple of them kicking around - if I can locate them they are yours....I might have tossed them out though to be honest but I'll look and see!

    I do the same / I use the starbrite -100 stuff and assume that if it dilutes a little I’m still fine. No issues. I do use the pink -50 stuff in my water lines, head, A/C unit, washdown and sink drains. If something goes wrong there it’s probably only a sift hose and not the fresh water cooling system on my motors….

    Probably because it is alcohol based which is flammable. Use a Propylene Glycol based antifreeze for winterization. I've always used the Starbrite Propylene Glycol stuff and been happy. They also make an alcohol based antifreeze for water systems only and the packaging looks the same so just be aware. https://defender.com/en_us/star-brite-non-toxic-antifreeze?srsltid=AfmBOoow1kqDlsrmf7_cksGv_ZYYUXbpTtEMa4tl81owjU9fV5dpZZabj3I#615=30924 Just looked up the safety data sheet for the prestone RV antifreeze - indeed it is ethanol based. https://prestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SDS834-1.pdf

    Friday through Tuesday looks like another 5 days in a row of big winds....

    Stager fishing to the east of Oswego is a grind right now - Landing percentages vary day to day but you have to work for your bites - Ran a trip saturday morning then mated for a buddy in the afternoon then another trip this morning. Saturday trips averaged a dozen bites both morning and afternoon, Today we only did 1/2 dozen bites (although I ran a puker back to the dock in the middle of the morning which burned up about an hour of fishing time on a 6 hour trip....still though. Flasher/Flies and plugs taking all of the bites for us - mostly F/F. Definitely not a ton of targets out there right now - winds and fluctuating temps have made it tough. Couple more trips then will be running boat back to get it pulled for the season - fat lady is singing.
