Roberts Rangers & Yo-Zuri surface cruisers. Fished in southern Mexico many times for Roosters & Jacks both from shore and from Pangas. When fishing in the surf cast until your arms fall off! These fish are Chasers! You need to reel with speed so a large diameter high ratio reel is in order. Something around 50" per turn is ideal. Once you see a Rooster come up behind your lure reel as fast as you can! If you pause or stay at the same speed they will they will turn away 95% of the time. If trolling typically just beyond the break you will troll live/dead bait & deep divers. The needle fish can be annoying as they will destroy your baits. Catching one or two is cool for a good photo op though! Note the lure in the fishes mouth. This was one of several landed that day. Kept the boat positioned behind the break and would cast to/on the beach. When are you going down there?

Went through this same process a few years back. Opted to take a 2x2 piece of pressure treated wood (painted it black) Set it in the on top of the transom in the throat of the motor bracket mount. This raised the motor 1.5" and did not have to cut the carpet or the deck. Had no effect on operation of the motor. Also to save spaced at the helm I mounted the fish hawk at the back of the boat on a bracket in the versa track.

Fair Haven 9/23
Rookie Fisherman replied to twring23's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Stagers are in close & inside the harbor walls in OZ. Last weekend too many boats for me inside when we launched so we made the run offshore. Gill-T is correct needed to go deeper for silver & chrome. We found them at 600-640' pretty much between Fairhaven & OZ -
Die Hard stingray size & mag was one of our top color spoons this year for sure, Probably number 2 for us.

I have a 2102 Targa 18 that I use to run on Lake Ontario until I upgraded this past season. The issue with track systems on the Targa is the rod locker access on the top of the gunwale is in the way. As others have said I would not mount the down riggers on the Versatrack system. Thru-bolt them with a backer plate. The Versatrack system is fine for rod holders though. I had a Big Jon triple holder mounted in the Versatrack with no problems.
