  1. I used Amish snubbers last year... my brother hung up the weight and the rubber pulled out of the zip tie but spectra held and he and my dad retrieved everything. Very happy about that! He tried to repair it, but couldn't. I just picked up 2 more. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  2. CK3080 It's all good, I'll make him up some new lettering for his next one... The Craptastic or something!!! Also, now I'll miss my chance to put a poo emoji or mr. hanky on the bow at night. I was planning too! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  3. Got off the phone with the DEC a little bit ago... good looks and advice Sk8man! The provision for salted minnows are for people/companies with commercial bait fish licenses. Personally salted minnows fall under "dead bait fish" regulations and can be used only on the same body of water, within the travel corridor just like fresh bait that went belly up. I was told that this was done because some people were salting in such a way that it killed the viruses and some people weren't effectively getting it done.

  5. The language seems to say that in order to be "commercially processed" it needs to be labeled with 4 items: the packager/processor name, species name, quantity, and curing process. It mentions nothing about having to be bought or sold. I'll try to copy and paste it when I get some time on the computer. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. Oh boy! Thanks Les. Will do. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. Thanks for the info. How long to you leave them in the salt before freezing? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  8. I got some minnow cure and am going to have a go at making some salted minnows. We tend to catch a bunch of minnows early in the season and some go to waste, so I figure if I am getting good numbers, I'd try salting some. Then vacuum seal and freeze to bring home to fish the streams of the Catskills and lower Hudson valley area. Anybody in the practice of curing minnows? Any tips, suggestions, or tricks are greatly appreciated. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 14' 1966 Starcraft
  9. FleetTracker, is that the Go Easy on the grounds? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  10. I have a cottage on the east end available that time of year. Cottage rental outside Sackets Harbor https://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/index.php?/topic/63079-Cottage-rental-outside-Sackets-Harbor I drive just under 300 miles myself to be there!

  11. Main Street in Sackets is tore up... but the launch is open. My dad just swung by. The main launch is open and the secondary launch is closed. There were a few trailers in the lot, so some people got out today. Only the cleats are showing like I mentioned before. - GBL
  12. I launched there Saturday... did they closed it for the week?? The water was in the lot then. When we launched the pier was an inch above the water line. When we got back only the cleats were showing. - GBL
  13. Lmao! Good point Fox!!! Thought you might of meant something about the swivel and guides... I didn't mention that I split an 1000' spool onto two reels, used 40# backing to take up some space, swivel, then 500' of wire. You're totally right about seeing it after 1000' though!!!
  14. Edited original post.. added interior pics. Only thing I forgot to get a pic of was the covered back deck. Bunk beds not changed out yet, as mentioned in previous comment. Should change them mid-June.
  15. I've tied 40# mono backing on the reel and used a #8 spro swivel (50# strength) to attach mono and wire. The swivel is small enough to run through guides. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  16. Thanks for the first hand update. I was just going with what I know from last season. Not sure where I'll launch this weekend, but can't wait to get up there! - GBL
  17. The channel is marked well. Yes both sides are marked. I go out of there in an 18' Trophy through July into August without a problem. - GBL
  18. And I totally wanted to launch around 4:30 and get set up in the dark... doesn't seem like that's a good idea at all! Darn it! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  19. Vince, You have a PM Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  20. Thanks for the advice Guff. Will heed your warning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  21. Pap... where's this place you call Laker Land? Not trying to burn a spot, just wondering. I'm still well within the learning curve out deep and the more options I have the better! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  22. Bedford is between Sackets and Henderson on route 3. It's right across from the small golf course. Search for Bedford Creek Marina and Campground in Google Maps or whichever mapping program you prefer. Give them a call and let them know when you want a slip, early season is usually pretty open. There's a channel to follow like Stony launch, shallow sand bars, but with that water level all should be good. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  23. Yeah, Todd, Bedford will have plenty of spots. I've known Jerry since before he owned it. Have kept my boat there here and there. Slips for $12 a night ain't to shabby! Just not sure if I wanna stay mobile or slip it. I got a few days to decide! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  24. I'm planning on going up next Friday. Will most likely launch in Sackets, fingers crossed it's open. If not, then I'll launch out of Bedford Creek or Westcotts if it's not open for the season yet. Also, may decide on getting a slip at Bedford for the weekend. Gotta talk to my mate and see what he's thinking. And if the wind is suppose to be up, may even launch in Chaumont. Can you tell my mind is going all over the place?
