I have the S54 brackets on a 6" Atlas for my Z7.
I have the same boat (2012) with a 6" jack plate and dual power poles. It had a 24 Tempest from the factory which I had re-pitched to 23. The best I typically get is 57-58 GPS. It is a great boat...
The algae on the surface was really bad a few weeks ago. I was there last weekend after we got some heavy rain and that seemed to mix the water up quite a bit and it had that chocolate milk color. ...
The rigging tube on my Z7 kept cracking from the way it wedges down in the splash well when tilting up the motor. I had it replaced with a TH Marine zippered rigging sleeve around 6 years ago and it...
I upgraded to the Goodyear Endurance last summer on my single axle 2012 Z7. I have been inflating them to 60 PSI cold and it tows great.
I have a 2012 Z7 that is exactly the same way on a steep ramp. For launching, I keep the bow strap attached when I back it down the ramp. I go back a little further than where it would fall off the...
I have a 6" Atlas on my Z7, and with the way the splash well and rigging tube to the motor are designed on that boat, trailering with it all the way down results in the cables and fuel lines being so...
I know! That launch is so shallow to start with that I think if anyone tried to launch there now they might get stuck. At least at the Bay Bridge the dock is lower near the end of where the boats...
Has anyone been out on Sodus yet this spring? The water is exceptionally low at both the Town Launch and Bay Bridge. I would be interested to hear if anyone has successfully launched at either of...
I took a ride to Sodus yesterday to check out the launches. I have never seen the water this low in spring- it looks like late fall levels. In my opinion, the town launch is unusable unless you...
I recently upgraded the tires on my single axle Z7 trailer to the load range D Endurance tires. I usually run them at 60 PSI cold instead of 50 PSI like I did with the old load range C's. I found...
Sodus Bay has been tough this year too. You get a few before the sun comes up, but after that the offshore grass flipping bite has been almost non-existent. Most days I end up fishing the docks and...
The same exact thing has been happening on Honeoye Lake for years. Right now the water is the clearest I have seen in a long time, but most summers the whole lake looks like pea soup and spilled...
Thanks for all the responses. I have decided that this is the excuse I need to upgrade to an Ultrex with spot lock. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to put the power poles down in...
This morning my trolling motor stopped working. It is a 2012 Minnkota Maxxum 70 Lb thrust. The foot pedal was working intermittently for awhile, and then all of a sudden I heard a sizzling noise...
49-51 degrees Honeoye Lake on May 11. Bite was very tough but managed a few decent ones on a bladed jig.
This is great news, but are we positive it applies to DEC and NYS Parks launches? As of now, the DEC website still says its launches are temporarily suspended, but that could just be because the...
I just read that he said private golf courses can reopen. So now the politicians and their campaign donors can golf at their country clubs as long as they stay 6 feet apart. But I can't go out in...
Done!
Thank you Old Bass Tard! I agree completely and I also fish alone, so I have no idea how doing so will contribute to the spread of Covid-19. It is by definition social distancing. The wording in...
I just called the Western Finger Lakes DEC regional office and spoke to a conservation officer. She said that the DEC launches including Honeoye, Conesus, etc. are all still open since they are...
I just called the parks office and they said the boat launch at Honeoye Lake is open. The launch is in Honeoye Lake State Park, so I would have thought it would have been closed. Or is that one...
Thanks for all of the replies and advice. To answer the questions about my truck, it is a V8 engine with 3.42 ratio. The package weight of the boat/trailer is around 3200 LBS, and the vehicle is...
I recently purchased a new Silverado 1500 LD with a 6-speed transmission and will be towing my boat (Nitro Z7) soon. On my old Dodge Dakota, when towing I would turn "overdrive off", but that is not...
