I use the SPRO heavy swivels. Size 3. https://www.spro.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SHSB-ALL I am curious about details of Skipper's tedious no-knot solution...

The High Thrust props that come on the ProKickers make a huge difference over the standard props on the regular 9.9's and 15hp models. I think a High Thrust prop would be the way to go.

I'm all set in the boat department, but some may be interested in performance numbers and other metrics. Efficient cruise speed and rpm? Top speed and rpm? What's she draft? How good is the boat control and trolling speed using the kicker? Don't see the kicker mounted? Kicker controls at helm? How is kicker steered? No gear/rigging at all other than the Raymarine? Nice boat! Good luck with your sale bud.

Return it!!!! Buy this one.

Hope you guys tear into em. We'll be out there. Channel 68. Hail "Sea-IV"

You can try off the "Finger" West of the Stony Point Lighthouse... mainly on bottom. Again, you'll see a lot of charters pounding that area. 150-170' zone.

Thanks dudes! This coming weekend will be my last Lake O report till the 4th of July weekend I think... Dad and I are meeting a good friend down out of Ocean City, MD to do some Yellowfin/Mahi fishing out in the Canyons next weekend... Weekend after that I have to go to Australia for work so going to do some fishing out there also... Some exotic reports to follow...

Scoot to 150' - 180' and work the contours near "the wall"... they call it that for a reason, so don't get caught with your riggers down and come up on it!! Give yourself some room, especially if you see the charters working that area tightly. We'd all like to think that other boats will do the right thing and not force you into a bad position but that's rarely the case. Don't get caught inside and put yourself in that position. I'd start with a rigger high around 40-50' and another rigger 80-100' and dipseys splitting that range. Do you have a temp probe? I usually put my deep rigger at 42-43deg and work up from there. Spoon on the high rigger. flasher/fly on dipseys and low rigger. "Stack" or "Cheat" the low rigger with a spoon. I have been running big boards and throwing out 6-10 color cores but not necessary. keep it simple.

No problem. Skinny water lake trout on spoons fight awesome. So do the suspended monsters out there down 60-80' so long as it's not being brought in with cowbells. Here's to you sticking out this season in this area and getting into some big Silver later this year! Thank you for your service!!! Oh and watch out for these large critters out in the lanes... they look slow and harmless but man do they displace some big rolling wake!

Shawn - see photo. The lanes are NW of Galloo toward the Canadian island of Main Duck and very close to the Canadian border (which you need to be aware of out there). The chart was on "heading up" so top of the screen is approximately East. The islands you see from left to right are Main Duck, Galloo and part of little Stony at the top right. Pay attention to the weather... it's a run. Likely won't heat up out there for mature Silver till end of Month and into July. Right now you'll see a few Saiff boats out there and some others cowbellin' for Lakers right along 'The Wall'. We don't cowbell... try to target Silver at all times but this time of year you'll still get a bunch of big suspended Lake Trout that will hit on Riggers, Dipseys, long Cores, and Copper. Good luck.

That's awesome man nice work.

Have made 3 trips to the shipping lanes in the last 8 days. Have caught 1 Atlantic. 2 Steelhead, a dozen skippy throwback Kings, and a bunch of huge Lake Trout. No mature Kings yet. I was out there yesterday.

Went out to the Shipping Lanes yesterday. One of our largest Lake Trout caught this year. Also picked up a nice Atlantic.
