Few pics.

Yeah we watched the wweather and left sndy at 4am so it was flat and clear the whole way out. But came in around 1 and hit some fog here and there but was glass in the middle

If you do a search on the internet under ontario batymetry you will see it in the middle of the lake from a east/west perspective. Runs from CA down south about 2/3 to the us. Just a little structure i thought might hold some fish plus a neat ride with nobody around.

Oh man. It was a cool experience. Yea. It must be near 20 miles off shore. We left from sandy. It was awesome though. The steelies wouldn't stop. I still have't landed a salmon on my boat. What the heck man!?? We marked solid fish and bait for a mile stretch, but at 350'. I only had 250 on my riggers so no chance. Wonder what they were that deep. Lakers??? I want to go again. It was very cool. But.... It is a bit of a cruise. Not something you want to do around weather. It was awesome today. Glass and 67 surface with breaks to 64 where we ran into the steelies. Trying to figure out how to post pics. But it was busy. Only two guys and we had multiple doubles and had our hand pretty full.

Hit the scotch bonnet ridge way out for a change in scene. Nailed the steelhead. Had a few doubles. Smaller guys. Around 6 or 7 lb. hit em all on dipsey out 80 Nothing on riggers. Still out. In 220 looking for some kings

Yes. Good idea to try and salvage the base and cut the broken and use aluminum or ss for a new bracket. Txs for that input Les

I recently purchased a boat which came with a Beaver Trol. AWESOME for slowing the boat down in small increments as it's run hydralically. Bad thing is I must of left it down when taking off and there isn't a relief on the system so the stress snapped the metal at a hinge point. Oh man, gotta get this fixed so.... Looking for ideas. One of the pics shows the break right by the cylinder. Two things I see - need a way to fix of course and need a way to include a safety mechnism as I'm sure I'll forget to put this up again. Anyone know a good fabricator? It appears to be a caste or "white" metal type material. Seeing this is hydralic - I'm going to see if I can get some sort of relief valve when back pressure (i.e. throttling up on it) is applied. During normal troll - there shouldn't be too much pressure. This unit is absolutely sweet when it works so I'd really like to get it fixed ASAP. APPRECIATE any ideas guys and thanks in advanced. Few pics to help minds get going

Hey Les, thanks for the report. I'm looking to get out on Canandaigua Sat morn. Hope I'll have some luck. At this point - I might have to tie my boat to a tree in my yard so it doesn't start floating away with all this rain before Sat!!!!

Sold - pending payment. Thanks for your interest.

Yes - still available. I'll give you a call Chris. Just to clarify, it's a total of (2). My pictures show the top and bottom of each one.

Good report on the launch and fishing. Thanks

Nice toughing it through those waves!
