Great post Pete and it was great to get out with you! Still can't believe you went and jigged up a unicorn while I was on board!

Nice rigs guys! And to those worried, I will make sure the boat is deep and wide. Not interested in sinking anytime soon.

Hey guys, Any of you troll the Big O in your 14 ft aluminum boats? Reason I ask is I am downsizing from my bass boat to a 14 footer while I save up for something nicer. Thing is I would still like to get after spring browns and some standard trolling (weather permitting of course). So I guess I am asking how you guys rig up the boat and how your setup looks. Initially I am thinking two wire dipsy rods and a lead core down the shoot. In the spring probably two inline planers and a split shot line. Course I would need to figure out rod holder placement. Pics of your rigs are definitely welcome!

Hey justinttracytrolling I totally agree. I can't tell you guys how many times I've tried to get information about walleye fishing in the Rochester area. I always politely ask and and I am a reasonably knowledgeable fishermen so it's not like people are giving tips to a complete newbie. It has always seemed like getting information out of the walleye guys around Rochester is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock. Walleye fishermen make steelhead fishermen seem loose lipped by comparison. I would certainly be interested in any tips or tricks regarding casting for walleye around the Rochester area. I would be especially interested in information around edible walleye as I'm not interested in catching any from the Genesee River as those are not edible. I live in Brockport so even information regarding the oatka, black creek, conesus, or the canal would be more than welcome. Personal message me if you'd like to share any tips or tricks!

Up for sale is my 17' 1989 Smokercraft Bass/ Walleye Boat.This is a phenomenal boat that has put me on a ton of fish. I really don't want to sell the boat, but mounting house remodel costs are forcing the sale. This boat handles rough water extremely well and has provided a safe, dry, platform even in Lake Ontario 3-4 footers. I have re carpeted the boat within the last three years and all floors are bone dry as well as rock solid. The boat has ALWAYS been stored inside. The boat comes equipped with a MotorGuide Brute 67 trolling motor with a brand new foot pedal and Cable steering. This motor is not a the usual old crap you see on used boats. It is a power house that moves the boat quickly. There are two nice batteries that are wired in parallel to provide you with all day power. There is also a kicker plate on the back of the boat to accommodate up to a 9.9 HP kicker motor for Walleye trolling. I have installed a brand new live well pump on the boat and the bilge pump works great. The 88 HP 1989 Evinrude on the back runs 100% PERFECT when run at ANY speed beyond no wake speed. At no wake speeds or idle, the motor will run fine for two to three min and then start to sputter. A simple pump of the fuel bulb gets the motor back up to speed and running fine. This points to a possible issue with a pinhole in the internal fuel line or diaphragm on the fuel pump. Both easy and cheap fixes for less than $100. I have never made the fix because the issue has really never affected me that much. I run the boat all the time and she runs MINT and frankly I am never just puttering along. I only include this info in the name of full disclosure for the new prospective buyer. The trailer is totally functional and working with a newly wired light system and buddy bearings. Please feel free to give your best offer. All offers will be considered. I will accept cash or I can also accept a debit payment via my Paypal Card Swipe App on my iphone, No Scammers and No Low Ballers Please!
