This is the place where I started a few years ago. The guys are great and very helpful. They told me what I needed and what I didn't need. I even gained a couple of real good friends that I now see on a regular basis when I drive up from Connecticut. Good Luck and enjoy your family! That's what its all about! My only regret is that I didn't start doing this 30 years ago!

I used TUFF COAT on my 18' Alumacraft. Very pleased with it so far.

I fished on that boat several times. I couldn't believe the fuel economy! It was way better than my 90HP Merc. Never any issues. Good Luck. -
Interested also Message me please -
I had the same problem. The three way shut off did the trick! Good luck.

I have a 175 Alumacraft Trophy. I fish Lake O 2-3 times in the summer and CT lakes the rest of the time. All set up with riggers,dipseys,trees. Works fine, just wish it was a foot or two bigger. It has a 90hp merc and a 6hp kicker and trailers great. Found it on craigslist ct and added equipment with the help of a few members from this website. Is it IDEAL for Lake O, not in my opinion but it sure gets the job done. Good luck. P.S. I had 2 friends that had tracker boats about 15 years ago and had nothing but problems regarding leaks. I don't know how the newer ones are. I was told to go for Alumacraft,Lund, Princecraft when I was looking. No problems with the Alumacraft.

PAP I hear that. I got some valuable information from this site and I also gained a few good friends. Worth every penny! -
I recently purchased a control king unit for my kicker motor. It worked great for a couple of days then it stopped working. I called Magna Mfg and had a new servo in less than 48 hours. The new servo is working fine. Its nice to deal with a company with GREAT customer service.

I use Offshore inline boards with tattle flags. I keep them in place all the time. Works well for me. Good Luck.

I did aluminum plates also. More surface area for support. -
Uncle Paul, you received and invitation from JD to talk about setting up your boat. Take him up on the invite! Several years ago he helped me set up my 17.5 Alumacraft for Lake O. Not only is he a nice guy, he is also very knowledgeable about his set up and what you need to increase your chances of catching fish on Lake O. I followed his advice and did great. Not only did he tell me what I need, he told me what I DIDN'T need, which saved me some cash. Great guy and very helpful! Good Luck, REZ -
I have a Humminbird 958 di works great with the Navionics chip. Works on Ontario no problem. Don't do the 800 series, the 900 series display is better IMO. Humminbird factory outlet store. This store is NOT part of Humminbird, but when I bought mine they were the cheapest around. I had NO PROBLEM with the place and the 958 di works great.

We stayed there last April. We stayed in one of the cabins about 75 yards away from the water. Nice clean accommodations. At that time I didnt have a boat so we took the charter for two days. Did very well and Captain Wally is a great guy!

Maximum cannon ball weight for Walkers downrigger ?
REZ replied to igorart7's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I bought some 12 lb torpedoes from Troutman87 on this site. I have walker Kokanee riggers and never had a problem. The tech people at Walker said I could run 14 lbs with no problem. Hope this helps. REZ -

Troutman Sent u a pm Thanks REZ -
Retsey thanks, appreciate the info about that specific motor

Do I need to go 2 mph or slower when fishing Ontario. Plan on running 2 riggers and 2 dipseys. Big Water, what can your motor slow down to effectively? REZ

Guys I need your opinion once again. I have an Alumacraft Trophy 17.5 with a 90HP Merc. I'm going to buy a new kicker motor. I was thinking about a Merc 9.9 four stroke. My local marine dealer will give me a great deal on a new 2011 Yamaha 15HP four stroke longshaft that he wants to get rid of(less $ than the Merc 9.9). My question is, will the 15HP Yamaha be able to troll slow enough? I was hoping for 2 MPH or less. I have to buy the Yamaha by 3/31/12 to get an additional two year warranty for free. The total warranty will be for five years. Thanks guys for any replies. Thanks REZ

Fish On - Thanks for the info. I'm on this website every day gathering as much info as I can. With my size boat everybody agrees with you that 2 footers are max wave height. Anything more than that go to the finger lakes or fish the rivers. I bought a Raymarine 49 VHF radio and an 8 foot shakespeare antenna. I also plan on buying a drift sock to use incase the motor quits. They say it will keep the bow into the waves. I also put in an additional bilge pump as well as a third battery. I would like to thank you and everybody else for their help. Please keep the info coming, I apreciate it very much. I want to be safe on the water. REZ

Guys once again I could use your help. I dont want to waste my $ setting up for Ontario. What rods/reels/line do you use for your downriggers? Also what set ups do you usually run? I got the dipseys covered thanks to you guys. Thanks REZ
