I was honestly surprised to see just one other boat out besides me. Both days weren’t terrible weather or anything crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Did a second day in a row out of Treman. Weather forecast said below freezing temps and ENE wind. Expecting little to nothing for fish action. Boy was I wrong. Launched and motored up the east side around 730. First fish was 5 minutes after the first rod was in the water. Steady action all the way until 1pm. 5 color leadcore, flatlines, dipsey diver at 165 out and riggers at 25 feet. Spoon and cranks. Didn’t matter the color or style. The fish preferred a deep diver rapala shad, but we caught fish in everything we had out. Tooled around between 30FOW and 150FOW. Water temps were still only 46-47 degrees. Ended the day with around 20 fish in the boat. Mostly salmon 14” to 25ish” and a couple Lakers. Biggest laker was just shy of 10lbs. We lost multiple fish that were bump and goes or only only for a bit and pulled the hook out. Had 1 broken line and another fish pulled a split ring apart from getting wrapped up. Even caught an orange rapala with 150’ of line still attached. The 2 coworkers I brought along have never been out fishing on the lakes. I hope they don’t expect this kind of trip every time they come along. They had some fish for the freezer and we threw back most for another day.

After a single time out, I really didn’t like using cannon tracks and a pedestal. I bought cannon base plates and made aluminum backing plates to mount the bases to. The pedestals were super wobbly and didn’t seem like they would hold up long term. I haven’t fished yet with the new setup, but just the feel pulling on them is way more stable.

Electric riggers will be pretty simple with just the side panels off. The fishhawk will be a hair trickier if you want to run the transducer cable with all the other ones since you will have to run it under the floor in the back. Still do-able, just will take a bit of finesse to fish it through. It is still going to be way easier fishing it through under the floor than taking the rear deck out and putting it in. Congratulations on the new boat!

For sale: Furuno FCV-588, no transducer. Has the cover and power cord. Used for 1 year before I sold the boat. It doesn’t fit with the new boat, so hopefully someone can use it for a good price. $700 plus shipping (could be a bit with insurance!) or I can meet you somewhere within a reasonable distance of Bloomsburg, Pa. I’d prefer to meet up to avoid it getting damaged in shipping. Thanks.
