Congrades to Fishstix for winning the A division and lunker . it was nice meeting and chatting with you . Boy what a weekend of fishing saturday we did 50 plus fish, LL and lakers. we fished from 6 am to 6 30 pm and save 2 lakers to weight in , a 9. 2 and a 11. 14 we pack them on ice and went to the bait shop to weight in Sunday morning after spending the night in the parking lot it was back to long point for more laker action. we did another 8 lakers the biggest being 8.8 for the day. we had it with the wind and called it a day . my buddy Craig took 3rd place . we split a few bucks and went home with a pile of LL to eat . be nice if seneca derby was this good .
this is going to be first time at this derby too . i just called and you can get sign up at the bait shop at myers park or at his home .you can get his address from the bait shop web page the numbers to call are top of this topic too
i had a 85 horse outboard that the impeller went bad replace it, the next time out the over heat alarm went off . i pulled the the thermostat on the water it ran cool rest of the day . another mistake i made i my time i put a new water pump in and the kit was for more than 1 motor i ended up using a wrong gasket shutting off a water port . lesson learned on my end , good luck getting your motor going
intellisteer.com they have different models to choose from . mine is type s/ t for cable steer helms . it has a motor on the back of the steering helm and is controlled by a wireless receiver witch i can add an autopilot latter . i don't have power steering in my boat so the helm steering motor has no problems steering the boat .
i just did some up dates to my boat , a four stroke and a intellisteer wireless remote steering . i wanted to split up the cost of getting into an autopilot for a cable steer boat. so i got the helm part done this year . i can used the remote steer part this year and get the brains and compass part next year . as above post check how much room you got under your dash . they do need 10 inches of room , i had an 1 inch to spear was a tight fit . it took the same type cable that i had in my boat . glad to see the information above about hooking to a lowrance chartplotter , thinking just need head unit of an autopilot now .
pre fish seneca lake
hi everyone i like to get out on seneca lake during the week . if any one wants to go out with me and try to figure out whats going on .
we seen you guys go by . you did much better than we did . i caught 1 small bow with a lamprey for the morning fish ,6 to 11 . i fished from my buddy boat that was pulled out from its winter storage . had a couple minor problems but no big deal . we mark a lot of fish on big piles of bait but couldn't get them go . i think the derby going to be a long weekend also . at the ramp i got to watch a mink fool around
mother nature been mean to us lately . the 2014 Act is hurting us worst . with the city of Montreal ,Canada gone under the government of Canada is New York only hope .the USA politician have a blind eye , hope this brings them back to drawing board .
i wouldn't want to launch there right now . by the looks of the pic the tow vehicle rear axle pumpkin ( differential ) could fill with water threw the vent tubes . not worth it .
the Sodus public launch looks ok to get out with getting wet feet . Hughes looks like going to have to put truck in water to launch . Areny 's is bailing water .
Nothing you can do , roll with the punches . the finger lakes been doable go slow and you be ok . But i have stayed away from the big pond due to the high water . i looked at the leader board of the L O C derby looks like the fishing is good
my buddy wanted me to hook up the fuel line in my boat with a 3 way tee about 3 weeks ago. i all most did , after asking about this topic in the winter I decided to go with the 3 way valve . i was going back and fourth in mind witch way to go . I PM L&M (Hank) and ask his opinion , he said if no valve or check valve in line serious damage can happen . now that being said if i ask Fran Barrett and he told me the same as he told Frogger i would have went that way too. I am not sure if it makes a difference if its outboard to out outboard or like what i have i/o to outboard . Any ways i went the 3 way valve and it is working just line , i do think i will miss not being able to run both motors at the same time if needed .
