Diversion

The saltwater guys over on TheHullTruth seem to like them, conclusion is that they are pretty solid boats, well built.

Icemans additude???? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done

any pics??

Great pics that tell the story of the adventure

Green nuclear is in the right side of this pic

Great story Chad, good work with the young guy

WOW, 127 yards with a 20, SWEET

Nice Ray

Great story, congrats on that trophy buck!!!

how old is the battery in the probe?

Check this link, some good details for the lower niagara, at the very bottom is a picture of the extreme end of the ice. I've fished in this before, no big deal, just have to take your time plowing through it. http://www.outdoorsniagara.com/niagarar ... elhead.htm

Yes, there is always at least a part of the dock in at Lewiston. In the dead of winter when the ice is the worst, there is at least a section of dock about the size of a 19' boat that you can tie up to.

Nice shootin Jay

Nice Buck, good shootin

You can use trolling bags to slow the boat down, run one on each side. I do that with my rig, as do many others on this board.

Sux about the probe and shark

Probably doesn't matter on the probe rigger, since it is below the probe, and nothing it attached near it, as the release is above the probe.

Thanks

Is he holding the reel that the rod in the rigger holder is missing???

Instead of adding more weight, can you move some stuff around from other places, so that it is in the cuddy? I too would not want to add additional weight.

For an aluminum boat that is trailered a lot, a bunk trailer would be a better choice as the bunks distribute the weight of the boat over more surface area. As a result, there are fewer pressure points that can lead to leaks down the road. Over time, the concentration of the wieght of the boat on a few rollers can result in the loosening of the rivets, which is what causes the leaks. Bunk slides made of heavy plastic can be used to reduce the friction that the boat has with a bunk trailer, thus making launching and loading from a bunk trailer easier.

Fished N and NE out of Olcott today from 100 fow to 300 fow, mostly in 100 - 150. Took fish mostly on flashers / flies only a few on spoons. Green Nuclear, Chrome Green, Green Spot all worked, green flies. Biggest fish was 30 on the boat scale, biggest steelie was 13lbs. Tim B. with the 30
