Special experiences on the water while fishing
TFB replied to rolmops's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Best memories... 10 yr. old son and I trolling 10 miles out Olcott in our 16' Penn Yan. Early 80s if I remember correctly. Suddenly, intense gasoline fumes hit us. Our trusty 6 gallon metal gasoline can developed a pinhole leak leaving a lot of gas at the transom. I got on the radio and asked if someone could lend me a gasoline can to transfer 5 1/2 gallons. Sure enough I had many concerned fellow fishermen answering my call. Soon a boat located me and lent me a can. That man saved the day and I returned the gas can to the address he gave me even though he said keep it. I never had the chance to thank him. So.. Thank You Sir. Thanks very much ! -
Black Biting Flies while trolling on Lake Ontario

We had a lot of replies awhile back. Search stable flies. Sawyer Picardian spray. Works well ! Stable flies breed in manure. -

You must lay down a clean white before the fluorescent paint. -
What gives. There are no C230 trolling motors anywhere for sale. So I'm looking for a good (note GOOD) used minn kota C230. Thanks, Ted Albany NY area. 518 210 0096.......... Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

When you make your decision, I had a good engine rebuild experience with a big shop in Virginia. You have to begin exploring shops starting somewhere, so if you decide rebuilding with up to date parts I can reccomend a shop to begin your search. A good shop ? You will know it when you see it. Settle for nothing less.

I started out at Wilson and Olcott driving a 16 footer. I had one 'Invader' downrigger with three rods. I had a VHF radio and a used paper graph. Don't forget your compass! I ran a 10lb. ball . I used cheaters and a long line out back. Many times I fished out sight of land. This was on a tiny budget and my young son was always on board. The other captains in your vicinity can be counted on if you have a bad 'situation' such as my 6 gallon metal gas can springing a leak. I once forgot my cannon ball. The guys out there saved the day with a replacement gas can to transfer that gasoline. Suddenly a new cannon ball shows up so my trip wouldn't be ruined. Most of all, try to go out with an experienced guy a few times to learn some tricks and tips. I'm forever grateful for my friend with a Lund and my Father with his boat taking me out on trips to fish. I learned a lot....... So, good fishing to you. -
Thank you Sir

Thank you. What about open water suspended crappie. Would that be in summer ? What are the likely forage fish in the lake ?Thank you again, I really appreciate your advice.... Ted

Need a couple of locations to get the Grandchildren some crappie action. Where to launch the boat, I have no idea. Thanks, Ted Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Never got on Oneida lake. I'd like to target crappie. Any information ? Just a spot or two to get started. I don't know anything. Thanks, Ted Albany NY Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm Ted, I've fished way back in several ESLO derby's. Won some little stuff [emoji2960]. This spring I'm lake fishing again after some time off. I'm after Erie walleye and Ontario salmon. I'm happy to meet y'all. Ted Sent from my SM-J737U using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Ha ha ho ho ho. Good idea. I'll get right on that. 🤔 you know, I do have that experience, but I'm retired now. Ten bucks is better, and I can't thank the Rod Hog enough. Thank you, Rod Hog again! Ted
