hard knox

Yes it is open at your own risk fished there last weak was not a problem but fish house and bathrooms are closed .

Coming up for Friday and Saturday anyone no if Wright pay launch is open to use at your own risk or has it been blocked off .

Found it its made by rj dunkin .com and is called struttn 360 xd and is 140.00 bucks but looks like a good unit with a good remote range dont see why i could not use it for rigging up for coyote as well .

Saw on tv a ad for a decoy stake that was remote controlled looking to buy one but cannot find it online and cannot remember the name of it any info would be great .I use a strutting tom decoy and making it move is the key on big old toms but using my feet is scary to say the least and dont want to play with strings . Thanks

Last time i was at Oswego on a NE cold front the only place you could buy a bight was inside and right out front so i will side with Rolmops on were to fish .

A Okuma glt 8 foot 6 with a dxt 30 works just fine in a med /heavy i like suffix 832 over power pro i think its a way better braid .

I like green water the best but as others have said a couple degree warmer water is the key if you move out deeper to fish it work the solid marks . Last trip to Oswego 1st day caught fish in tight to shore second day cold front from NE a new set of conditions caught all fish in 25 to 35 feet of water in the mouth of Oswego river where it was 4 degrees warmer near bottom .Caught kings ,coho and browns there could not buy a bight anywhere else .

I owned a Optimax 225 from new first 2 years it was great then started having problems went to the dealer a dozen times they never could fix it ! Mercury decided to blow it and put a fully dressed power head on it it lasted a little over a year then that power head failed .They also require a OPTIMAX synthetic 2 stroke oil that is about 28 bucks a gallon .In my opinion it would make a good boat anchor but thats just me i would run as fast as i could and get a yamaha 4 stroke . Had a 115 and now have a 225 hp and love them !

Thanks CRAYFISH your timing will be good as any time before the temp break sets up you will find all species close to shore making for great fishing with a mixed bag of fish . GOOD LUCK !

Took a ride up to Oswego this weekend for the maiden voyage in the new to fishing vessel HARD KNOX she is a 2006 sea pro 220 /wa. The day started a little rough as i had sinus issue for the first three hours of the drive there making my ride very long . Then me and my father that is now 80 hit the water to find out i had a fuel supply issue at high speeds so back on the trailer we go to try and find the problem . After a couple hours of diag and repair found the moeller fuel line that supplies the engine internal liner was collapsed and causing a blockage . Replaced fuel line with gates fuel line and back to the ramp we go after a good test drive all was great and boat ran perfect . After missing out on the best of the day we started fishing and first hook up was a double of 8 lb browns . Oswego did not let us down we caught over a dozen nice browns 2 coho .1 steelhead and 1 big king as well as lost one other nice king . Thank god for the long winter being over and lady o and good times with the old man !

I f your going to run bags you can hook them to forward port and starboard cleats that way they will never be in your way well trolling and fighting fish .
