I bet the big box stores will not give the charter Captains a 10% discount either - the box stores are on average 30-40% higher on their prices too. And their at poorly stocked for us trout & salmon trolling fishermen. I avoid the large box stores because of these reasons. If we don't support the local businesses they will be gone as I have seen so many disappear over my 63 years of sucking air.
Yeah, my daughter who lives in Houston, Texas sent the pic/email that is all over the internet to me asking if this really happened on Keuka lake - well , WHEN PIGS FLY!!!!
Had a sail boat last week cut in front of my bow and then did a 90 degree turn back into me and aimed directly at me - well all my flat lines were toast because at the last minute and after I started to yell because I though he was going to ram me he went past my stern 10 feet from. Now he and his friends were laughing think their stunt us funny till my lines grabbed there boat at various location like the mask, keel and bow and the lures flashing by their faces - I wish I had got his numbers because things like that are dangerous and un-called for - he did that move to impress his sailor buddies at my expense - it was one of the rudes moves this year for me. I lost 1000 feet of wire, a 10 color core and 2 mono flat lines. Thanks mister RAG BAGGER!!!!
Keuka lake is closed - no motorized vessels
Canandaigua lake is 5 mph and is patrolled
Seneca lake is no wake
It's been on all the news stations in Rochester every night.
SHERIFF TONITE AT PENN YAN VILLAGE MEETING HAS POSTED A 5 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT ON SENECA LAKE, KEUKA LAKE AND CANANDAIQUA LAKE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY HIGH FLOOD STAGE LAKE LEVELS. Looks like no fast runs north this derby.
Was out on lake today - hit a 4 x 4 x 4 foot long timber under stuff in the south channel- there are walls of trees & branches every where and mud slicks like I have never seen before - fishing is tough too - Even when you hook up you can and will lose fish to branches and limbs - it happen to me twice today. it is a mess every where on seneca
Penn Yan village opened all flood gates in the town this afternoon to release all the trap stuff and increase the flow out of Keuka lake. the town rarely ever does this but it means Seneca lake will see a large flow of timbers, trees, building material and mud. Be advised that boating will be risking business and the toury next week-end could be un-safe.
today Penn Yan village opened ALL flood gates in the outlet to release all the stuff trapped and causing damming of the water flow out of keuka lake - it will dump thru the outlet to Seneca lake tonite and tomorrow and will make the drysden area (mid section) of Seneca VERY dangerous - BE advised.

My son who was working with me on the charter took this picture as we were headed in 7-7-12 - took him awhile to send it to me - left side of pic was funnel cloud that roped out on right side of pic - when it hit the river opening the winds were over 80 miles an hr. This storm was moving at 65 miles an from the north to the south - I saw 2 kayakers sink in the channel, a pontoon boat had it's canvas top removed completely - poles an all and a 40 foot fly bridge boat get pushed down the river side ways.

I guess I'm going against popular opinion but I like the idea of an observer - I have been an observer in the Pro-am several years ago and had a blast - treated like a king and learned new tricks - and it is impossible to cheat because the observer is part of another boat team. As a purse goes higher the cheating will begin to show it's ugly face.
I dis-like running around to get my cooler check in but an observer means (hopefully) I can avoid that issue. Nick, you know I'll support your toury so count me in.
