    I think you can. As long as you run independent wires to the positive and negative of one battery only you should have only 12 volts.

    I read an article from a scientist once that said that there is some possible reasoning to the superstition. They located an enzyme or something like that in the skin of the banana that fish did not like the scent of. I will look around to see if I can relocate the article on the web.

    I vary my length from three feet to six feet, on the longer side if using twinkies. I do like to add scent to my set ups.. I usually use an eight inch flasher.

    Last week was a great trip. Fished Friday threw Sunday. Best water was between 350 and 375. Riggers down 75 to 95. Divers out 150 to 300. Higher early and deeper as the day went on. Best location was out in front of Wilson on the 52 line I think.

    Also, lets not forget the possible effects of a successful pen rearing project. Not all the fish are imprinted with the salmon river water. (most still are), but the disbursement of the fish over the hole lake is more even. These fish are hanging closer to there stocking location until mature and the need to spawn drives them to the Salmon River for the ones imprinted to that Tributary. Others run for their stocking tributaries. The numbers are still in Mexico bay in late August and September. The hatchery is sill getting their fish for the eggs. I only recall one year were they were asking for egg collection from other tributaries.. I could be wrong on that because I do not live there but one year they were asking for help on the internet and I have not seen that sense then.

    Boat registration, side cutters in case you have to cut a hook or rigger cable if it should get stuck on something. Hand held radio for back up during an electrical failure or god forbid you are in the water. And of course do not leave home without snacks.
  8. Richard
    Yes, just purchase a new one and attach and you will be ready to go.

    Several years ago I paid $8,000 for my 1984 and then rigged it myself for fishing. I think $5000 as suggested would be a good offer as this is an "as is" purchased. That should leave you a little cushion for repairs if needed. They are a great boat and I would definitely give him an offer and if purchased bring it to a mechanic and have him look it over. You may get lucky and it may not need much work with it in a heated storage. Good luck with it.

    love those boats.

    I would recommend at least three steps. My ladder has two and we find it difficult to get back into the boat, Another step would help a lot. I will upgrade at some point.

    not unless it sits in NY waters for more than 30 days from what I understand.

    Glad you are finding some good help. Hope your first trip is a great and memorable one. Good luck.

    Niagara, Tuscarora, or Olcott will do you fine. just listen to the fishing reports and pick your launch from there. I have never used the Tuscarora launch. I understand that you want to make sure you stay in the channel there. Lots of rocks outside the channel. I will be in the area on Memorial day weekend from Thursday to Sunday.

    I change my line every other year, but I only fish the big lake 10 days a year. This year is my change year so that is on the list for next month. I have also ordered new coated cable for my downrigger with the speed and temp unit.. There is a list of things to be done with the boat but that will have to be taked care of in March when the boat is uncovered.

    Coated Downrigger cable Hello all, Hope everyone had a great holiday. I will be needing to change my coated downrigger cable before the next trolling season. 1. Who has the best price for this cable? 2. Does anyone have a spool larger than the two hundred feet spools that are usually around? Thank you all for your help.

    Merry Christmas to all. God bless

    Love the video. Nothing like a good salmon video to get the blood flowing for next year. Thank you very much.

    personnel preference but stick with the 8", more forgiving and create less tangles than the larger ones. Once you have things down a little you can play with the larger ones. I very rarely use the larger ones any more.

    I think that pretty well covers it. You will find other patterns are good for a period of time or for that year but these are the most consistent options. Good luck on your first year, This sport can be very addictive. I drive five hundred miles, three to four times a year just to taste it. Have my own boat and thousands in gear. Tight lines

    I need to replace my coated cable this year. Where is the best place to pick it up on the web. I prefer to pick up my needs from local shops but I am on cape cod and that is not an option till my spring trip and i need to replace it before then. Thank you all for your help.

    I run leads 10 to 25 feet. But that is just me. different things work for different people. Some form of white paddle (or white with green) with a white or green fly right on the bottom.
