best downriggers
spoonfed-1 replied to lake patrol's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
After running Scottys for 14 or 15 seasons I've only needed there customer service twice. Once I swung into a gas dock and broke some plastic housing parts and had them at my door in 5 days. Could have had them overnight if I needed to. Another time out at the Niagara Bar I had a Scotty rookie on board and he retrieved a plastic bag up into the front roller and sheared a drive gear and smoked a belt. I made a call over the radio to see if my buddy had any spare parts on his boat. I received a call from Yvan on Get It Wet charters who told me he was a Scotty rep. and asked what parts I needed. I told him and he took one of his riggers apart and floated over the parts to me in a plastic bag. Replaced them on the water and back in business. Now THATS customer service. Also I've noticed every year I go up and down the Little Salmon river there are more and more boats switching over to Scottys. Thats a pretty good endorsment. Glen -

Proposed rule change on Pro Am ending times.....Opinions ???
spoonfed-1 replied to Fishtails's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Times are not that important to me. Everyone fishing that division is against the same clock. Just got to get your business done in the time thats allowed. The pierhead rule is a good one. If you decide to run 40 miles to your home port to get on fish thats your choice. Just be back to the pierheads on time. I don't see why a guy that runs to his home water, water he's familiar with, should have the same fishing time than a guy from the other end of the lake that is searching and fishing unfamiliar water. Should he have the right to? Absolutely and he does. Just be back on time. 7 hrs fishing is fine. 8 or 9 hrs is fine to. One thing for sure is I really liked the shorter lines at the weigh in. Glen -

Here are some more pictures of the inside. Had a lot of interest but nobody showed up to look last weekend. Come on out and take a look. Can't go wrong at that price. -
I have owned both and prefere the rollers at any launch for ease of loading and unloading. Tough to beat a roller trailer with an electric wench. Glen

Tuning Otter boats for running copper
spoonfed-1 replied to Fishtails's topic in Tackle and Techniques
You use the existing rear hole and align the keel to the same angle as the first keel. Then drill a new hole for the front screw. When my copper rods go you can hear the "twang" as the copper exits the release. (Scotty) Glen -

Scottys. They just keep working year after year. Fast and built to last. Glen -
scales... What do you guys use?
spoonfed-1 replied to salmonite's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
How do they get all these fish out of those holes in the ice without causing internal and spinal injuries? What happens to all those Bass that are removed from the water and handled completely by the bottom jaw then released. When a fish comes vertically out of the water like a rocket does this injure them? Glen -
Why don't you make him an offer on the black box for your boat Scott. Glen
-
I'll vouch for this boat. Jan is a very mechanicaly inclined person and has kept this boat mechanicaly sound and very well maintained. Worth looking into. Jan I wouldn't advertise that black box if I were you. Glen

Looks nice Jeff but out of my price range. We already picked up new old one that we could afford without payments. I was happy with the one we got but the boss wanted a little more room. Still got 3 bags of lures at the camper for you and Chris from the Niagara pro-am prize package. I'll get them to Chris if I see him this weekend Glen -

Frank, Don't know what he would charge for the winter months. I pay $1200.00 for the whole year. Anything other than that you would have to talk to the owner. Camper can be seen at J& J campground on Tubbs rd in Mexico on the weekends. Show up, take a look and we'll talk. Glen -
Thanks Tom, Thought they were trying to sneak one in on us. I did hear about the proposal. Almost time to start sending e-mails. Glen

When did they start that? We have been filleting fish on the lake for years and as long as your at least 100 feet from shore you can legaly dump the carcass. Glen

scales... What do you guys use?
spoonfed-1 replied to salmonite's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I used to do this but had to stop. What I used to do is after I netted the fish and took half his slime coat off in the net, I would then rip out all four hook points from the tournament tie that was all stuck in his face with a pair of pliers and then weigh him in the net and release. Had to stop doing this because one afternoon I poked my wifes eye out with the 10 foot long net handle that was flying around through the air with a meaner than usual 25 lb king in the bag. Poor girls eye was hanging down on her cheek and I had used all the antiseptic up on the fish. Man was she pissed. Didn't get any for a month. Now I just lip weigh them and if they complain I'll fillet em. Sorry I didn't fish this weekend Happy fishing Glen -
Huge Thanks to the United States Coastguard

No. I was completely legal from top to bottom. Pays to have up to date flares and all required saftey equipment. Glen -

Boga Grip. My digital bounces all over the place unless it's calm. Glen -
Beer commercial Richard. These guys need to get out fishing more. Glen

We release most of the fish we catch but always keep a couple for eating. Usually theres always a couple that probably won't make it if released. We fish most every weekend and I really don't have a need to keep all that fish. If I was limited to a few trips a season that would be a different story and I would probably be shooting for a box full when I went out. Bottom line is keep what you need, as long as it's within the legal limits, and release the rest. Our philosophy is nothing wrong with keeping fish as long as they are not being wasted. Great post Gator. LMAO Glen

Should be just fine. Would probably be worth pulling the wheels off and checking the bearings but she towed just fine when I brought it in. One broken tail light but I got a replacement in the camper. Just never needed to replace it as it hasn't moved since. Let me know if you want to take a look. I'll be up next weekend. Don't cost nothing to check it out and you might be very happy. If I get a chance I'll replace that tail light next weekend. Depends on how the fish are biteing. Glen -
