Sorry guys for not updating sooner. The local guy bought everything but the copper reels,starfire dipsy rods and the Ugly stick dipsy rod.

Please see my reply on post holidays. I don't know what will be available after the local guy looks at everything, so stay tuned.

I'm trying to avoid shipping but may have to at some point. If it comes to that it will be on the buyers dime. See my reply about handling this post holiday. Thanks for understanding.

Kingston.

First let me apologize for not responding quickly. I have had a lot going on. I am going to get going on this after the holidays. Right now I have someone local looking to buy everything but hasn't gotten over here to look at the gear. With the holidays and some health stuff taking most of my time I haven't been able to actively take care of all the requests regarding the items. I know the local guy that wants to buy the gear and he is supposed to take a look at everything this weekend. If he doesn't it will likely get pushed out past the holiday. I'll let everyone know status of their requests and what I have left at that point.

Try it now. It saved it to my download folder and then needed to be opened from there. I re-saved the file in case there was some security setting on it. I also uploaded a word version. If those don't work I will copy and paste the info in a response.

See my update on original post. I added a PDF of the rod and reel inventory and prices.

None of those. Just a Clairion loaded with 600 copper.

Selling my Lake Ontario / Champlain gear. Anybody looking to get set up hit me up. I used to take 2 trips a year out there so the gear is lightly used. If I can’t find someone local looking to get set up I’ll end up parting everything out. I’m in NH. Still working on prices but they’ll be half of original. I have dipsy rods and reels, downrigger rods and reels, a 600 and 400 copper set ups. Plenty of spin doc’s flys and spoons. Video of lures and attractors and other related gear: I took inventory of all the gear in the video and at 1/2 price or much less on items I came up with a value of $1250 for everything (not rods and reels just the gear in the video). Most of the spoons have not even been washed as I typically ran dodger fly combos. The used spoons you can see the wear on them in the photos. Let me know if you have any questions. Again if I can’t find someone local who is looking to get set up I’ll split everything into lots and re-list with prices for each lot. Much of the stuff I didn’t even bother pricing in the package (j-plugs, some flies and other misc gear. The rest is at half original value or less. I think that’s fair. Added the rods and reels I have to sell. When I first started out there I went with heartlands and magda's to see if I liked it. I eventually upgraded to Daiwa 47LC's and Ugly stick down rigger rods (which I'm keeping). I then added dipsy rods to which I eventually settled on the Shimano Talara's (love those rods). If you search my posts here you'll see how many times I got out there fishing as I reported every time. None of this gear was used local (the fresh water fish just aren't that big), so it was all only used on my trips to Lake O. rod reel inventory LO.docx rod_reel inventory 112021.pdf

Yeah my old boat I had Otters. I had issues with them going slow and wind but not this bad. I added a second keel and that solved the problem for 90% of the fishing conditions. We did get in touch with Frank and he’s sending us something he said would help. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So I fished on my buddies new boat yesterday and the A/O boards would not pull right at speeds we needed (1.5-1.8 mph). We troll live smelt early on for salmon and the down wind board would lag behind the boat and almost look like we were pulling it sideways. Pretty disappointing as we had heard so many good things about them. Speeding up they pulled great but at the slower speeds failed terribly. I did search and find some people had also had this issues (guess we should have done that before buying them). Anyway there were many fixes mentioned but none of them outlined (exactly what they did to correct this). I have an email out to Frank but figured I'd post here and see what others may have experienced or done. My otter boats with two full keel would work at those speeds but not much slower. So I understand the concept of speed and pull along with impact of wind. These just wouldn't work any direction but down wind and the wind was only 5 mph that built to 10 mph. Very fishable conditions. Thanks for any help. Spike
