    If you're looking to primarily troll, i would suggest you look at Hobie yaks with the mirage peddle drive. It's only good for forward propulsion unless you physically remove and reinsert the unit. They just came out with an updated version this year that has reverse mode, (engaged by pulling a cable) but I'm seeing on different forums there's some issues with them. I've got a few yaks, and use a Hobie Outback for trolling the Finger Lakes. In the right weather I've had it a few miles off shore of Lake O for spring browns and fall salmon. The Hobie pro anglers are wider and heaver (more stability) and are good canidates for electric trolling motors. If you go wirh something that big, you might consider a trailer for it. I usually bring along 2 trolling rods and run them both. I also grab a jigging or spinning rod depending on conditions / mood. In my opinion, the lack of storage isn't that big of a deal, you can still bring alot of gear along. I've got plano 3600 size boxes set-up for different kinds of fishing, and I bring aboard only the ones I need for that trip to save space. Electronics are pretty easy, most manufactures are including provisions for mounting transducers, batteries and fish finders, as well as having some type of cable management system to keep things looking neat and clean. No matter what you deceide on, you're definatly doing the right thing by testing riding different models. Lots of different opinions about sit-in versus sit-on-top, I've got both types and can see advantages and disadvantages to both depending on how you're using them. Other questions, let me know.

    Not necessary walleye specific info - just yak trolling in general. Spend more time of the Finger Lakes then lady O, but here's my $.02 Lead core works well, and It's pretty much idiot proof. Just need to watch for tangles if you"re running 2 lines. I usually run # 40 or # 50 jet divers and use 2 rods to stagger them behind the boat to get 10-25 ft separation in the water column. This year I started playing with a torpedo diver on a church clip. Only ran it one trip so far, and it seemed to get a lot of line twist, so more testing is in order. My yak is peddle drive, so it's easier to keep it moving when I have a fish on - that helps avoid tangles. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Anyone been to either lake lately? Looking to see what the surface temps are how the water levels are. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Just curious - with the DEC heath advisories out about chemical contamination of fish, how may of those chemicals are being introduced into your garden, and at what levels.

    Off topic- I like the idea of mounting down riggers on seat pedestals like that. Looks like they're about 2 ft high and you've got 3-4 ft arms on the riggers. Any problems with twisting or movement ? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Was down there a few years ago, and was launching the kayak from the yard next to the old power plant. One of the locals stopped by to chat. Thought he was going to give me a hard time for launching there; instead helped me carry the yak down the hill to the lake. Told me I was more then welcome to use the boat launch- its not private, but town managed. Also said as long as I'm respectful of the lawns, there’s now problem parking to the north. Returned the favor by helping him pull a few docks out in the fall. Following those rules, the locals have always been friendly when I've been there. Like Bulletbob said, it definately a launch for smaller boats. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Stopped in to the shop this AM and picked up the maximum allowed per customer. 6 spoons - 2 hammered, 2 silver\silver and 2 sliver\bronze. 6 spoons @ $33.00 plus tax, so out the door $35.48. Individually wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a small paper bag for the ride home. Chatted for a few minutes, they said yesterday was a bit hectic, with lots of folks walking in and phone orders happening. They did say that they only have 1 phone line and it also runs the credit card machine, so if calling in an order, don't get frustrated if you get a busy signal. Also, they will ship, didn't ask the cost, but my guess is it would be very reasonable. Didn't say who was doing the plating, just said it was being done locally - Overall the plating seems to be high quality, and highly reflective. All spoons with soldered rings and treble hooks (not sure if singles hooks are an option). I'll try to post picks of the spoons later if I get a chance. For those of you able to make the drive, I would highly suggest it; the character and ambiance of the store is the same today as it was 30 years ago when I was a teenager.

    597 is only unit left Have for sale 2 Humminbird fish finders. Although these are legacy units and no longer manufactured, they are in excellent condition, with the latest software available from Humminbird website installed. SD card reader works on both units, no map chip included with purchase. Each unit also includes a black UC 3 snap-on hard cover. Units are compatible with XNT 9 20 Transducer or XI 9 20 Ice Ducers. Both units have been used on a kayak, so they have been exposed to a bit more water splash then a unit located in the cockpit of a boat, but they have been wiped down and air dried after each use. No salt water - only the fresh clean water of the Finger Lakes. These units have very low hours and are in excellent condition, so the price is firm. Prices do not include shipping, and I do accept pay pal. Located in Canandaigua, will travel within reason to meet-up if interested. Humminbird 597ci HD Combo. $150.00 Dual beam only - NO down imaging color 640V x 480H 4.5" display Internal GPS 148 hours total use No transducer or mount included This unit has been used on the ice with a soft case and ice ducer. Humminbird 688ci HD Combo $100.00 Dual beam only - NO down imaging color 480H x 640V 5" display Internal GPS 41 hours total use No transducer or mount included

    Canandaigua Panfish?

    If you're looking to drop the boat in the canal, the park at Widewaters between Port Gibson and Newark gives you a good stretch of water to fish without having to traverse any locks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
