hopefully they hire someone good to design it not like that clusterf**** of a launch at the chamber of commerace

that sounds almost like commercial outriggers. look up commercial salmon fishing on youtube. could also be what many longliners call birds actually used to help stabilize the boat when pulling gear. most standard outriggers do not have motors and there just is not need. you can usually run the line out with one hand. as far as using standard outriggers I was given a pair of 12 footers a couple years ago and here is what i find. they are nice in a crowd because you are much more maneuverable they also make you look bigger so it tends to buy you more room. in rougher weather they don't bounce around like boards. you can run anything off of them including dipseys which is nice for more spread. downside is they don't get as far out as boards. for my set up storage is easy but initial set up and put away is a pain in the but. still they have there time and place. if i got a new boat I would consider getting a new set but I would go longer with a different type of mount ideally something that I could leave attached to the boat in storage.

i had to do a double take is that a flying laker in that pic? almost fell off the couch laughing

16 is the hailing channel it is also the emergency channel you call on 16 than switch to talk. If you have a radio law states you have to monitor 16 but in reality it's good practice because that's where a call for help will come from and if you need to make one in a hurry you don't have to think about changing channels that's why most radios have a button to go right to 16 Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sometimes current matters as catfish follow a scent from the bait they come to the downstream bait first and thus that one gets more hits Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I dont have near the time in on seneca as Sk8man but one thing i have learned is have patience with that lake it can drive you crazy in a hurry. can have great fishing than for no reason another time you cant buy a fish. for lakers I found green chartreuse and white are the most consistent colors down deep. Dont be afraid to troll shallow for lakers this time of year especially in the early morning. for rainbows or LL I find my best luck is the top 70 feet of water again white is a constant producer and UV on sunny days orange is also always out to start some days that is the key. 28 size and equivalent spoons are the most consistent for me. as for browns good luck I can count my browns on one hand and thats over several years. I find that fish can be in very tight areas sometimes there so if you get bit dont be afraid to circle

you have two reels so start with the 10 color backwards on one than you get as much backing on as you can than reel it off of that reel on to the other one so it will be the right way on. the 5 color will be more of a guess but you know if will hold the same amount the 10 color did plus some.

best way to get better at this hobby keep tinkering

are you unhappy with the 30#? or just want to experiment. line is definitely a personal preference thing

tie something on and give it a few yanks best way to tell. Generally if its out of the sun mono does well

a good multi meter can help when it comes to electric. i have used mine more times than i care to admit

I had an issue where the starter would turn but not fast enough to send the bendex ended up being a combo of starter near its end a bad solinoid and a corroded battery wire (not at connection) I was losing just enough power that the starter couldn't do it. Had it rebuilt got a new solinoid and wire good since than so far according to my multi meter I was only losing about .4 bolts to the starter Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
