  1. Too funny
  2. How about the name Steelhead.... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  3. That will be some good tasting Les.
  4. Les, I can still remember to this day being out in front of the Legion in the spring, Bobby and I in his 16fter as kids right before dark and seeing him lose a monster Laker at the back of the boat. Wire was at our feet everywhere...... Back then that fish was a 30 lber, which in reality was a nice 12-15 lber........
  5. Im still waiting for that "Copper Tournament" out of Sodus........ Biggest King wins. You can only use copper line with flashers or lure, no rods can be used or on board.... and oh yea, no gloves either......lol
  6. Nice looking box. For those not knowing, a deadly presentation to lakers on the fingerlakes. Imitates a baitfish, sculpin, dancing from rock to rock on the bottom. As you let line out the weight takes it to the bottom with the twin minnow skipping on the rocks. You hold the line somewhat steady while trolling slow and wham. Laker on. Give me a Blue Mullet Pflueger and now you got some fun. Once he's hooked you just pull him in and the victrolas spring winds it right up. If you have never seen it you should try it.
  7. Nice going Les, +14 is pushing the 1.5 -2lb mark. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  8. I think as long as the bait is certified and you have the receipt verifying that, your good, if it's not cert, I think there s a transportation issue but there is a stipulation for a travel corridor on Lake Ontario that might allow you to transport them. Someone on here I'm sure would know. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  9. Looks good Chas, clean looking. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  10. Man, that's 5 star right there.....
  11. I could see it now, tip up spools with 500 ft of braid lol. Light house looks like the wind took whatever was there out to sea. Mike, your question on the deep lakes, has all to do with mass. The more water, the more it takes to freeze. Lake Erie being shallower allows it to cool / warm more quickly than Ontario. With that said, Lake Superior, freezes some, the deepest of the great lakes but because it is more North (colder) then them all. Good news would be there would be less lake effect snow with more ice on the lakes. Rumor has it if temps stay low through February we could see record ice amounts.
  12. It might for sure if we get some calm nights..... If it does, I'm gonna get some of the biggest bait I can find and dig a hole around the old light house pier. Has to be some monsters in there.....
  13. Thanks guys for the info. Good stuff
  14. Tough day It sounds like Les, sounds like it's going to warm slightly then cold again next week
  15. Agree Chas, that's what I'm wondering, but I would use the electric motor for drifting on the bar or for perch on Seneca. Just read some of the forum on that GLangler, some good reading on the topic.
  16. Steelydan, using for steering your boat with using the big motor I'm assuming? What speed is the electric going when it's not too windy? How we'll does it work? Is it the cats meow or is it just ok and I'd be better off using the 1200.00 for something else?
  17. Thanks Chas, I will probably do both, helps when perch ect on the fingerlakes but really looking foward to using it as a steer for auto pilot if it works. Im thinking im going to need a 60inch shaft from the way my boat sits out of the water but havent measured it yet. My boat is not that heavy <2000lbs so I wouldnt think I would need any more than 85lbs but not sure. Was hoping not to have to go with 24v only to stay away from having 4 batteries on the boat. When you troll and use it to steer is the thing running low , med, fast? or does it speed up on its own when it needs to track back to course? I will check on that sight you gave me as well.
  18. Can anyone provide some input on if you have experience using your bow mount trolling motor for GPS auto pilot steering when trolling. I have read a couple of threads where this has been done but not a lot of information as to how much battery drain occurs during a day of trolling ot what speed does the motor run on. Do you need the 24 volt system? How much thrust 50 or do you need as much as 110? I have the Sea Nymph 19 ft and already have the dual batterys system with 4 electric DR. Any insight would be helpful, and theres never too much information, thanks guys.
  19. I would say if your in the bays fishing or in shallows all the time it would be beneficial but if your after salmon / trout in open lake I think it's dead weight but that's an opinion.
  20. Pap he's done everything this year, but Turkey hunting. The thing I'll soon have to worry about is waking up and seeing the boat gone......
  21. Man can't wait for this sunset...... SeaNymph GLS 195. I so have the itch, great boats everyone!
  22. I know right.......lol
  23. This is the bad hombre!
  24. 83/200 for me pap and can track balls to 100ft as we'll. FYI I was cruising through electronics and saw the elite 5 for 350.00 base combo plotter. Tough to beat.
