One of the best genuine measures of happiness is the look on kids faces when they are enjoying themselves -especially when they have caught a fish they are proud of.

Nice going John

Good one!

Gill T 's comments make a lot of sense to me. have plan A and Plan B's depending on the emergent environmantal circumstances.

I fished on this boat just this morning and it is set up perfectly for everything from perch and panfish to salmon. It is a true fishing machine with a lot of room, comfortable seats, canvas protection from the wind (was windy out here today but you'd never know it inside the canvas). Great storage and the motors ran flawlessly including the Ipilot with remote. In short....Iwas jealous great boat!

Sweet!

If it is the area where the darker water meets with lighter colored water it may be a thermal break and a scum line may or may not be associated with it (debris on surface or submerged along a line often with seagulls sitting in or near it).Can be productive fishing along the edge of it in and out.

Congrats Aaron....plenty of room now for a bigger cooler for the monsters

You're welcome

Any better?

Wow! Your report is identical to our experience on Sunday including the lamprey stuck to the downrigger weight. One of the LOU members and I started from the same spot at the north end and trolled to Kashong up the west side with 2 riggers with sliders, a 300 copper a 250 copper, and two dipseys ....nothing.Marked very little other than a few small bait pods up high and a very few fish at about 40-60 ft. over whatever. Trolled across to Sampson....nothing... then trolled back to the high banks and one huge hit on one of the three Seth Greens we had out just as we were quitting and as soon as the rod was picked up...gone. Weeds everywhere and very frustrating. The sewage mess you noted was probably the 5,000 gallons of sewage that ended up in the lake at the north end from the treatment plant there. That dark sludge is also out in the area near Willard-Lodi by the way and evidently a result of the 35,000 gallon sewage spill down the Keuka Outlet that was recently reported. It was the worst shape I've seen the lake in my lifetime and very discouraging. The lamprey by the way was about 1 1/2 to 2 ft long and he escaped my fillet knife by a millisecond or otherwise he would have been two hallves of one.

Just an unsolicited comment but I know Paul and I know this boat and he takes immaculate care of his possessions and I have bought items from him and know him to be fair and honest. This boat is a truely superb fishing machine. I have personally seen it in action andd whoever buys it will be a VERY "happy camper"

Danny you have a PM

Ol Blue - It would appear by your post that you may have assumed that someone here on LOU may have been running boards out there. How do you know this would be the first question and secondly if you knew the name pof the boat or who may have been doing something you found offensive why not approach them personally or by PM on here if it was in fact a LOU member. To cast possible blame among a whole group of fishermen who may or may not even know of the bars existance by an inflamatory post such as above deserves to be called out by LOU members so it might behoove you to think a little more about your approach before posting next time (if there is one).
