    Thank you!

    Did you ever see a green goby? I want a spoon that looks like the real goby.

    If I can find someone who does paint custom spoons he would get an order.

    Anybody know where I can get spoons that look like a gobie? It will probably have to be a custom made spoon because none of the retailers online have them.

    That is a TRUE buddy and should be thanks! Leaves more time for fishing.

    I would NOT buy a boat this old without a professional survey because I did just that and now I am having stringers, motor mounts and transom repair done. I paid $7000 for my boat but I knew it needed work but not this much work. Survey first! Also all the electronics actually are a personal choice and that should be considered in the price.

    Mr 580, are you suggesting that someone who fishes only a few times a year charter or asking some buddies to fish along and pay their way? Actually chartering is NOT a solution because of all the costs involved; I know because I have been chartering since 1997. I think it would be easy to get some fishing buddies to fish that part of the lake.

    The Starcraft Fishmaster is a wider boat and built specifically for trolling. Weld over rivets? Your choice. I will be selling my aluminum boat when my old Thompson 240 finally gets finished because although the lighter boat is good for towing, the wind will control you.

    I had one that I paid $100 for new; it worked one season then failed. There must be something better on the market. Now I use a pool thermometer on my rigger.

    A selection of Bay Rat lures is available at the Thousand Islands tackle shop.

    I started chartering in 1997 and the above advise is good stuff. You will not get rich, you may not clear your expenses and expect to put in long hours, especially if you have no one to help you with the clean up AFTER the trip (forgot that part?) If you truly enjoy helping other people catch fish, it is a great "job". Your personal fishing time will be limited to finding the fish for the next trip so you can put someone on "your" fish. I am over 70 and enjoy this so much that I am having an old Thompson rebuilt so I can spend more time on the lake instead of using my Starcraft to fish the river. The river is good but I love that lake!

    If you are on the St. Lawrence and in need of fiberglass/transom repair contact David Lalone in Hammond. He just did a Seacast transom for my 1988 Thompson 240 . It is 3" thick, absolutely no wood and the owner of Seacast says it is good for 144 years.

    A lot of boaters do NOT know the rules of the road and forcing us to get a boating license will not change how some people pilot their boat.

    That report means small craft warnings. Take heed.

    This is for a friend and I will check with him for a price range.

    Looking for a used center console, 18'-20' with trailer, outboard only.

    That is what happens in the Spring--high, fast water bringing in debris. Also, $10 is a cheap launch fee; I know of a few places near Cape Vincent where it costs $20.

    Sold

    I have a 1988 Mercruiser engine removed from my boat but I do not know if it runs. The mechanic told me it needs a starter and after purchasing a new 5.7 I am not putting any money into the old engine. It may be an engine that needs a little maintenance or it could be only good for a complete rebuild. This is a complete engine; the block is not cracked and this engine was winterized 2 years ago and the oil is still fresh. It is on a pallet and located at Martin's Marina in Cape Vincent, priced at $500.00.

    I never have unless it is a fish caught while bringing in lines and the clients have a full catch and only if that fish cannot be released unharmed. I was asked about that a few times last season and for some reason, it is only asked if we are having a real good day. I guess the clients are thinking "the more, the merrier" but people that greedy should buy their fish from a store. For most of my clients the catch is just part of the whole experience and many practice catch and release.

    I have chartered in this area since 1997 and used to pick up some trout out around Charity Shoal with very few salmon in the middle of summer. The salmon seem to prefer the area around the wall and south of Main Duck, with both trout and salmon being taken around the south side of the Duck. The rest of the area is home to bass and walleye, with Wolfe Island being good for northern pike. Salmon used to run the river in the fall but I have not seen that in many years.
