I’ve fished the Oak for many years in which that noise comes from Hail Cannons that are strategically placed in farmer’s fields. Once the barometric pressure gets to a certain low, the cannons send a blast of natural gas into the atmosphere to break up the clouds so hail doesn’t ruin their crops. Many years ago when I first heard them, I thought the cannons at Fort Niagara were being used during a reenactment. I’ll be heading to the Oak on July 10 for two weeks of camping and fishing in hopes not to hear that sound!
After checking the Paypal transaction, all I received was your name, not an address. I would be happy to send out your package tomorrow (post offices are closed today due to Columbus Day) once I have the address you would like me to send it too.

Shipping will be on the buyer. $300.00 for the two downriggers and $100.00 for the two shark weights and $40.00 for the two Church boards. I will accept PayPals and Venmo.

Looking to down size my collection of walleye and trout lures. Willing to sale each lure for $2.00 with buyer paying for shipping or $80.00 for the lot.
Just finished a two hour evening trip with three male kings and one beautiful released brown. All fish caught in front of the wall off mag spoons and Downrigger’s. Calm in close but windy to say the least. Forecast for tomorrow doesn’t look promising. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Professionalism
This past Saturday, my wife, daughter, and I made the four hour trip to the Oak in hopes to catch a salmon or two. As the morning developed, most boats and action took place between 70 and 100 feet of water. With beautiful skies and clam water, many sized boats took advantage of the weather. As we were trolling eastward, a charter boat was heading west when one of their lines took a shot. The salmon headed in a direction towards the front of my small boat. The captain yelled and I waved to acknowledge his dilemma, so I make a sharp turn to the south. After getting my boat and lines on a straight course, I noticed the charter boat netted that fish and the captain yelled: "Thank you, if you have a green j-plug put it down 50 feet". I know charter boats have received negative press over the years, but the captain of the charter boat Troutman is a class act! After placing my only green j-plug down 50, by daughter was hooked into a Lake Ontario salmon.
I can ship, looks like shipping will be an additional $20.00 for the pair. So the total will be $60.00, will that work? Both weights are in good shape, if you would like me to send you photos I will, just let me know.
I have two 10 pounds that I can part with, how about $40.00 for the pair. I live in PA but will be heading to the Oak this weekend for a 10 day fishing and camping trip, maybe able to meet up to save on shipping?
I would like to sell my Lowrance X65 sonar. This machine is in great condition, I needed to upgrade to a Lowrance that had GPS features. The X65 comes with transducer and original paperwork. $100.00 and I will pay for shipping.
