    Should have one for sale after this season if you don;t mind waiting another couple months.

    Both are great spoons. Both have their uses. If we're chasing steel I tend to like the SS's. When we're fishing BT I tend to like the Stingers. I've found in the Spring when fishing BT that the SS's will ski on the surface when run with a long lead and only put down 3-6'. The Stingers wont do that. On the flip side the SS's have great durability, but my Stingers lose paint much easier. There are technical reasons they do this that I wont get into, but there is my opinion on both brands.

    We've run these rod holders both in a track and on our downriggers. In 4 seasons we've never had a pin slide out. However, I have had one get crushed from the insane Genny surge in April when it went under the dock. There is a black piece that is part of the ratcheting system on the holder which is meant to be the break away piece in case of rough play. We have broken a few of those, but that's there so the pins and the rest of the holder don get damaged. That being said. I have had some of the holders get sloppy. This is easily fixed by pulling it apart and tightening down the hardware, and adding a little lok-tite. It's actually a good thing, because it gets you in there so you can lube up the moving parts. I also want to clarify that to my knowledge, and I am going to obtain the answer from my contact at Cannon, everything is made and assembled right here in the USA. I know all the downriggers are, so I have no reason to believe the rod holders aren't. Every product has it's kwerks, and nothing is perfect. I can tell you Cannon customer service is great! The Cisco's you speak of are also great rod holders. We ran them for 3 or 4 seasons. However, we did have one snap on us during that time frame.

    There's a slot on Lakers? I thought we had to kill everyone that came over the back of the boat to make room for the extra 300,000 the Feds are going to start stocking next year?

    Why anyone who would pull copper over 300' when they are just "fun fishing" is beyond me. I hate copper with a passion, but it works so damn good!

    Solid line-up!

    Magnum Chrome and nice Kings in the top 60' 26N/17W. Gold was a good color for the kings. http://t.co/5Nx3Jp4wus

    58* down 40

    Slow bite today. 26-27N seemed best. Lyman on a 200 copper was good. 500 copper took this brute. http://t.co/MLE2h51WdQ

    Just a ripple on the surface! 3rd leg of the King of the Oak tourney today.

    OK....Updated and corrected standings are posted. I don't know everyone's boat name, or team name, so if you want yours added please PM me with that.
  16. Yankee Troller
    Hahahahahahahaha
  17. Yankee Troller
    Who are the winners so far? Update: Never mind - should have looked around on the thread.
  18. Yankee Troller
    Scott - do you have a list of the teams that are already in the shootout?

    We found another error in these standings. We will have this fixed by tonight. Our deepest apologies, and they are inexcusable. We are waiting on the "actual" spreadsheets to be sent over so we can marry them, and curb any human error with adding the scores up. We'll make this right guys. Paul is without a computer and I was running a double last Saturday, so it was tough to tabulate when we didn't have the actual spreadsheets.

    We run a Moor Subtroll. Very rarely does it move off of 2.0 for any species or time of year. Chris made some great points here.
  21. Yankee Troller
    That was awesome!

    I just copy and pasted Paul's post on Facebook. I'll chat with him later tonight. Sorry for the confusion. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Again, I apologize for the mix up. We grabbed the files from Mike Waterhouse. IF there are any issues, which there shouldn't be, please let me know. I personally am keeping this file updated from here going forward. Don't forget that this Saturday July 19th is the third leg of the King of the Oak Series. You can sign up until 7 AM Saturday at the four locations with $100 cash only. Once again, in line at Lake Breeze marina to weigh by 3 PM.

    All of them. From 8" Dreamweaver Spin Docotors to 11" paddles. An out and down are the riggers on the side of the boat. On our ride we have a chute rigger, and two out and downs.
  25. Yankee Troller
    No preference really. Just looking for a color that looks fishy. We've tried them all. Rhys, DW, and John King. They all work.
