i check the marine weather forecast and look at radar before i go out 1 ft or less can turn to 3 ft or better in a hurry with wind change try to schedule your trips on south wind days less than 10 mph and you will be fine your boat will handle 3 to 4 fters but why get beat up respect the lake she can be nasty when i was younger i spent 13 hrs bouncing in the waves with a over turned boat but with age comes wisdom if it feels risky dont do it . i was out on the lake 2 times this week in a 16 ft deep v
i catch lots of eyes at 3mph seems the bigger ones like to hit when you go a little faster my boat does 3.2 mph low as it goes and i get tons of eyes 8 to 13 lb range . good fish hope you get on em again try conesus sometime work mcphersons and long point and in front of the beachcomber lots of slobs to be had .
take a wire and find clean spot on both trailer and tow have some one hold wire touchin both and see if that fixes the problem if it does and you cant find the bad ground connect wire it tow and trailer whith a plug in the middle spent weeks tryin to figure out what was wrong and did this all lights bright and workin good luck
I fish conesus lake and i have caught many tigers and northerns fishing for eyes at night. My opinion is fish eat when they are hungry and like me sometimes you have the urge for a snack at night lol. It seems in the fall they are much more active at night and usually its the monsters that give you that unexpected jolt so have the net ready and keep those lines tight!!!!!!!!!!!
this new law is just to create revenue for the state a safety course will not make stupid people stop making mistakes you have to sit through safety course for hunting and people still do stupid stuff like shoot each other its bs as far as im concerned i do think they should make people who buy a new boat who have never owned one before take a course but for those of us who have been boating for over 30 yrs its stupid waste of time common sense is not so common anymore so i guess we have to suffer through a stupid 8 hour course for this now next they will make us take one so we can legally walk down a side walk
