I am thinking of docking my boat at Wright's landing this year. I have fished out Oswego many times but never docked there. What docks are best ? Thanks Dave

Looks like i will be trying running copper. That is something i didn't think i wanted to get into but from the reports on this post it looks like it works the best. The other day i ran lead core, dipsy diver, thumper rod, and downriggers and caught no salmon. I switched over for lakers and caught 2. Thanks Dave

Thanks to everyone for the tips. Greatly appreciated. If you see a Blue & White 22 foot Hydra-sports that will be me. Dave

Like Gill-t this is the first year since the late 90's i am fishing Lake George. I fished primarily out of Hague and mostly for Lake Trout.I am now fishing out of Bolton Landing and am having limited success. I have been fishing for Lake Trout mostly and using the lures i used years ago. I have been using flatfish, Rainbow,Brown, and silver and blue jointed Rebels. I also used some mooselooks and sutton spoons. Any help with lures and location would be greatly appreciated as i am having a tough time figuring it out. Thanks Dave

I had a 1989 crestliner phantom 18 sportfish with the sst transom. I had a yamaha 90 hp outboard and a 9.9 4 stroke yamaha on it. That boat was the wettest riding boat i ever road in. While fishing i never took the bow cover off. Many times when running in from ontario i could hardly see where i was going. That boat looks like it is in great shape and seeing that it is an i/o, which would have more weight in the stern, it may ride different. I would take a ride in it in at least a 2 foot shop and see how it goes. Dave

I had the depth raider. My friend had a moor subtroll and i tried that on my boat with the same results. Both units are picking up interference from the auto pilot. If i ever do it again and have a tr1 i would try a fishhawk because it doesn't use an antenna system like the moor or depth raider. Here is a link to their site. By the way you are going to love the tr-1. i had it on 2 boats i owned and it will spoil you. dave http://www.fishhawkelectronics.com/

I had the same problem and never found a fix. I spent so much time trying to get it to work correctly and never did. To use the depth raider i would just disengage the autopilot and immediately get a reading and reengage it when the boat started going off course. Here are the things i tried, electrical noise suppressor. electoral chokes on all the wires, moved one battery to the front of the boat to power the unit, moved the tr-1 unit as far away from the antenna as possible and probably a few more things i can't remember. I sold my boat a year ago and told the new owner about this issue. I contacted the owner of depth raider, Kurt, and he told me they were working on a fix. You might want to give him a call and maybe he has found something that works. Dave
