    She has been a heck of a fishing rig and salmon slayer! I think it has something to do with the excellent job done rigging her!

I am the third owner and this boat is a trollers dream. Alumaweld is a west coast manufactured welded aluminum ocean style boat like Hewescraft, weldcraft, woodridge, duckwoth, crestliner. Huge fishing area and seating for 6 adults with a forward helm with hydraulic seats. This vessel was first delivered in 2009 to the Lake Michigan area and then was sold to a gentleman from the eastern basin of Lake O and some may have seen it before. I have had it for about 8 years and it has been home based out of Lake Champlain/George. The boat was set up perfectly for great lakes fishing by the previous owner. Trac system/Great Lakes Planer system perfectly laid out. Boat trailers easy behind a ½ ton truck. I made a few trips across the state to fish the Bar and even took 1st in the Spring LOC Walleye Division. I will be updating the listing and pictures as I have them. This boat is perfect for trailering between ports and chasing the kings around the lake. For Hull Specifications & size visit the company website; Alumaweld: Premium Welded Aluminum Fishing Boats for Sale. Find an Alumaweld Boat Dealer! (alumaweldboats.com) This is not a new boat. it has been fished and a lifetime of fishing left in her. To purchase a West Coat style boat like this starts at $80K without $10K in rigging.

  7. hairbone
    Would need control box and cable for your application I believe sold already
  8. hairbone
    This motor has the extra long shaft and was set up on my boat with a helm control as a kicker with autopilot. The cable broke and I changed it out for a new unit with tiller handle. This is the perfect unit for a guy who needs parts. I used it two seasons and I know the guy I bought it from used it a number of seasons I am located in Queensbury, NY 12804. Text 518-528-1465 $500 takes it. $600 if you wanna dicker. May trade for a jon boat

    Great boat! I run a 20’ welded Alumaweld Intruder! I prefer the Bar first two weeks of May. Fishing can be just plain stupid.... then again you get a hard northeast wind it will be a ghost town. Lol. I like Oswego the last two weeks of July. This year I am going to fish out of Port Bay July 9-19 Fleas get bad mid July at times... most likely a whole new ballgame for you. Booking a reputable charter is well worth the $$. If you are only coming for 3 days leave the boat home and go with charter. Might not even get out of port with a 20’.

    Lost a nice one with flasher fly dipsy and 20’ of wire last summer smacking the line on the water to clear the rope I broke off.
  11. hairbone
    Wouldn’t be surprised if it was all white perch
  12. hairbone
    That’s what I do and rarely have a failure. I use the Uni knot on the mono or braid.
  13. hairbone
    What are you running for line?
  14. hairbone
    You gotta be willing to donate tackle yo you find what works. Slide divers are useless when fleas show up
  15. hairbone
    I think the rule of thought is 3/1. Regular. And 2.5. Or 2/1 with added weight and ring. Your speed and lake o currents gonna put that to the test. Best thing is to keep adjusting your setup to it fires or hits bottom.
  16. hairbone
    What is a pike ball? I assume a large bobber. Excuse my ignorance. Love coppers
  17. hairbone
    I guess I am an a hole. . You asked. I think you will have to get to 60’ of water to catch something other than little white perch & gobies by then. I could be wrong.
  18. hairbone
    If the weather cooperates grow a set and get some line screamers
  19. hairbone
    How will the water levels be mid April - May 1 and launch access? Want to try this area for a few weekends.
  20. hairbone
    Thanks for the insight. All of the kings we got on long coppers and wire dipsys we picked off bottom and they were hogs. Our biggest for the week was 25 pounds and 36.5 inches. Broke a number off that size as well. Our biggest laker was 36" and 19 pounds. Not bad for never catching a king before. We fish Champlain and George.

    Maybe I should be asking what part of the upper water column I should be working. I saw lots of surfacing fish offshore and felt like I was missing out. Tried flatling a few sticks off the boards over the deep water that didn't produce. Inshore we did well with sticks off boards and spoons off riggers for the browns & coho.
  22. hairbone
    2nd year to the bar in May and was wondering how many colors of lead guys are running offshore for Kings/coho? Did well with 200,250 & 300 coppers and had great rigger bites from 30-60 down along with wire dipsys. Looking to add some more junk to the spread as it is so fun clearing lines in a fire drill
  23. hairbone
    Thanks for pointing that lure connection out to me a few years ago jim! Matty and I smoked the Kings at the bar. Large & mag bees with ring cut off and ran with the snap. Headed home tomorrow. Took a few browns and cohos on a small size bee in pink!. Old school greens and chartreuse ruled
