I have a friend that docks there each season. I think the county docks that your referring to is around $650 for the season.

Full size set of collapsible planer boards for sale. Can be picked up in Point Breeze, NY beginning 4-17 through 4/27. $50.00 takes them (570) 971-7402 if you want them.

I saw another post on here stating one of the tackle shop noted the docks at the state ramps were going in next week.

Charter Lakes Marine Insurance Agency 3455 East Paris Ave. S.E. Grand Rapids, MI 49512 Have been using them since 08 with no regrets.

Use just enough split shot to feel your presentation ticking the rocks , if you do not hang up occasionally, your not fishing deep enough. With a fly rod, using a lob cast, your presentation is in the water a much greater amount of time, since there is no reeling in at the end of the drift then recasting, reeling in your slack etc.... Natural colored egg patterns this time of year, with salmon in the water column, are the ticket most days..

Just received the news a short time ago that Capt. Jim Shambaugh of Luv2fish Charters, out of the Point Breeze, NY area, has passed away after a more than year long valiant fight with cancer. Anyone who knew Jim will remember his quirky sense of humor, always looking for a way to get a smile out of you. Jim and I traveled together while going through our captains' training in the Rochester area. To say the least there was never a dull moment when "Shammy" was near by. Jim's business was appropriately named for the man had a true passion for fishing, whether on his boat or stream side. When he wasn't fishing a Lake Ontario trib, he was back home chasing the trout around in his home waters. Most importantly was the fact that Jim was a Vietnam veteran who was wounded during a tour of duty, although, he never really talked about it much. Thank you Jim, for your service to our country, putting a smile on a clients' face, and allowing myself to call you friend.... RIP my friend, FISH ON!

Set the legislation, charge the fee, and the law abiding out of state captain will pay the fee, as he or she already does, concerning licensing, drug testing, liability insurances, once needed twic cards, income taxing, etc.... The costs associated with another license is really not that big of an added deal, as I see it, it would just be handed down to the client. Although, as already reported in this thread, I also believe your bigger problem revolves around a number of non-licensed captains who are bringing their people up from their home states and charging the same type of operating fee's, on a lesser scale than the licensed captain, under the table to offset their own expenses for their recreational activities. They would not pay your added out of state fee, to begin with, and there are a considerable number of boats, around Lake O, who I believe would fall into this category, my opinion.
