Great Lakes Lure Maker

I think owasco is gonna be a good lake for that. But 6 rods not lures.I like a 3 way on my dipsy, and sliders on my riggers. No rigs, I get that. But 6 rods I can do. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Mike. Whatever you did on Keuka to bag those monster lakers is probably the same thing I would do on owasco. Lots of big hooks on the bottom. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Sean, yeah, June 1st is the tourny date. weigh in at south shore marina. owasco has always been a favorite of mine to fish. Seems to always give up some big fish. Looking forward to it. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pre fished Owasco tue. Finally got my Dad to go fishing with me again. Been over a year since he has fished with me. It was good to be able to fish with him again (even though he kept trolling at 3.5 -4 mph). I hope he continues to go with me, and his health allows him to go. So, Owasco looks to have a better population of fish than Keuka did. East shore was loaded with fish in the 20-60 fow. In the middle of the lake their were also tons of fish in the 20-40 ft range. Lots of big hooks on the bottom and quite a bit of bait. South end color was a bit green, but the north end was almost brown. Surface water temp was 58-60 deg. Quite a change from Seneca and Keuka, but Owasco is a small lake. Gonna try and get back over their before June 1st, but not sure I will be able to fit it in. I believe the Owaco weigh in is gonna be an impressive one! Should be some nice fish weighed in. We lost a wheel bearing on the way home, but you'll have that every now and then.

Amen! And your right, that should sum that up! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would agree with that. They are certainly under paid! And any argument about tipping a mate for making your day is just being cheap! Give him what hes worth, and don't quibble about it. You wouldn't think twice about spending 50 on beer! If you know the rules or the status of the situation, shame on you for ****ing! You knew the situation when you signed on. As far as the IRS, shame on you for even speaking like that. What a !! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Like sean said, I have fished charters all over. I've paid a lot more than $800 on some trips, and feel a $50 tip is minimal. NY charter captains deserve more than $800 for a day trip. Especially on Ontario. He probably spent $200 of it or more on fuel for the boat. If your paying $800 for a charter, $50 tip to a good mate is minimal. Most guys would spend that on beer!
