You might want to list the boat and house separately

Change in and of itself is usually a mixed bag of emotions and opinions.. I fished at the marina for perch since about 1967 or so and camped there with my kids from about mid seventies onward and launched my boat(s) at the marina right up until current times not just during the many derbies but Summer and Fall. There is a lot of nostalgia connected with that area for me and my family. With that said I have also been very disheartened by the condition of the marina especially in recent years. The state has been very resistant to improvement of the park and it certainly wasn't anything to do with the staff out there as my interactions with them have always been positive. Something certainly needed to be done out there to "resurrect" the marina to continue its viability. On the other hand, as far as private ownership of the marina it is a "wait and see" situation for me. I'm not real thrilled with the concept itself of public land and resources being turned over to private business but something had to be done since it didn't look as though the state would do anything in the foreseeable future. Let's hope it turns out to be a plus for all of us. I will however deeply miss the Fall perch fishing out there where for years often I had it pretty much to myself as most folks were out hunting which I gave up years ago so I could fish then."the times they are a changing"

I'll take em Hop

Is it supposed to b e set for salt water? I noticed the little "salt" wording at the right of the 49.2 F reading...

It can take a couple minutes for the data to appear and I'm assuming you didn't just take a quick look. Mine was within .1-.2 on the temp compared to my Lowrance and within .3-.5 on the surface speed today. It can take while to load all the data when cold water (was 45-50 degrees today on Canandaigua (surface temp) and 40 down 30 ft.It is probably either the probe or the transducer acting up on yours. I'm also assuming new or fresh batteries that you verified as good (I've had some out of the package that were weak) in the probe?

This boat is pristine and has spent a lot time stored in a real nice storage garage next to Jim's house outside Canandaigua as he has a great Grady for trout fishing at his camp on Keuka. Great boat for the perch as well as a winter fishing boat for trout and if we didn't already have my son's 16 aluminum for perch and winter fishing we'd be jumping on this one

Hey cdgn looks like ours were "siblings" Hope we aren't creating more congestion than is already on the lake by showing them

Sweet! Nice going.

marinerak87 - I guess I should apologize for being too quick with the wording of my first post because now that I look at it it does appear to question your judgement and that was really not my intent. I was trying to illustrate a) that pics can be deceiving, and b) there is a way to estimate average weight based on length but these examples provided basically show that length is not the only variable. Some pics allow the belly to flop down while others can be compressed by the holding method and may influence judgment about weight estimates. Estimating chinook salmon another variable comes into the process the thickness of the back area combined with in the girth and going by just the length and overall appearance can be quite deceiving. During derbies I have seen 28 lb Chinooks estimated as possible 35 to 40 pound fish when rushed to the weigh station. The bottom line is only a certified scale weight will make an accurate final determination. To underscore the above examples of variability of weight with girth I offer this example of a Canandaigua brown of known length and certified weight (derby winner) that shows compression of the belly by holding, distance from the fish when pic taken, and that total length can be deceptive in coming up with a weight estimate. The length is 32 inches while the weight was 16.18 lbs.

Geez I wasn't trying to dispute your comment.....just trying to give folks a way to judge approximate weight on one. part of why mine looks slimmer is the way I'm holding it too which is part of my point also about estimating from photos. I wasn't trying to be some damned expert or smart azz I was trying to offer a way to estimate that possibly some other folks may not be aware of. I obviously know that girth is a factor in weight as is length and that the combination of them can vary length is merely a way to estimate and as I said it was an average.

At 27 inches the average brown is thought to be about 7 lbs 13 ounces according to the chart in the DEC syllabus. I know they can vary upward from that but I don't believe it is a 10 lb brown. Pics (especially digital photos) can be quite deceptive. The chart offers a closer approximation but is not exact either...it is an average. Here is a pic of one that is exactly 10 lbs 1 oz. from last year on Canandaigua which was about 30 inches. Note that the pics of them look pretty similaranandaigua

Nice brown about 8lbs or so.

On their diet is duckling and frog or other surface dwellers so it probably isn't "accidental" that they do that

I sent Trevor the address of this posting because I believe that when people are doing the right thing they need to be aware that others fully appreciate it.

Trevor and the folks there are top notch. great products great service....the way all American servicing should be

Man...they are really going at it.... I added some contrast to the pics to see if maybe they will show a little more detail. Thanks for posting them Nick
